Chapter 990: backup plan (second update, extra-long chapter, monthly tickets+)
Xia Chujian did not care about the connotation behind those words. She simply said happily, "Of course! I've always been lucky!"
The youth seemed to pause. He stared at the screen before him for a while without speaking.
After waiting a moment, Xia Chujian wondered what he was looking at and could not help asking, "Esteemed Sir, what are you looking at?"
Xia Chujian was puzzled. There was nothing worth looking at on her side! There were ruins and metal debris everywhere, and even the light came from those crystals.
There was no sun, nor was there a moon.
The youth seemed thrown off by her calling him "Esteemed Sir." After a while, he said casually, "Just call me Gui. There's no need to call me sir."
Before Xia Chujian could invent another strange form of address, the youth hurriedly asked, "Did you run into some trouble?"
"You're not in the same place as before."
Xia Chujian was surprised. "Before? I've been here the whole time!"
The youth merely smiled without answering.
After waiting a while and seeing that he would not answer her question, Xia Chujian was completely baffled. But she had no time to dwell on it, so she quickly said, "I wanted to ask, Mr. Gui... do you know where I am?"
"If possible, do you know how I can leave this place?—I want to go home."
Perhaps because of the youth's strange manner of appearing, Xia Chujian did not feel that he posed any threat to her.
Besides, this was not their first meeting, and the youth had admitted as much.
More importantly, she had not sensed even the slightest aura of a Remnant Species Core from him, so she had nothing to hide from him.
