The thunder seemed to explode right against the Ancient Castle's windows, making nearly every window in the entire castle hum.
Xia Chujian instinctively took a step back, moving farther from the window.
Xiao Fei continued, "Listen, it's thundering. Heavy rain will be here soon."
Xia Chujian said, "Mm, I know. Seven Ba died, and it's only raining today. It's already late."
Xiao Fei said, "...When Ba die, there will be heavy rain, but this time, the rain seems especially heavy..."
Xia Chujian said, "There were seven Ba. Of course it won't be small. All right, I'm going to take a shower. Xiao Fei, are you going to stand guard by the door or by the fireplace?"

Xia Chujian laughed. "Seven Lù, are you still jealous? That's enough..."

Xia Chujian said, "Seven Lù, do you have any evidence?"
Seven Lù's childlike voice replied righteously, "No! It's just a feeling!"
Xia Chujian: "..."
She
