"Little Fish, we've struck it rich!"
Xu Xiaoshou's eyes suddenly flew open, startling Yu Zhiwen, who had been sitting across from him with her knees drawn up, studying the young man before her.
Her body jolted, and even the spirit sword skewering the roasted meat in her hand flew straight into the air.
Whoosh!
Xu Xiaoshou reacted swiftly. A spiritual thread shot from his wrist and yanked the airborne spirit sword into his hand.
"W-what happened?"
Yu Zhiwen's pretty face burned as she blinked rapidly, her words tumbling over one another.
Like a child caught doing something naughty, she felt as though sitting face-to-face with Xu Xiaoshou in this cramped cave had put her on pins and needles.
"We've struck it rich!"
Xu Xiaoshou cried out excitedly again.
He would not reveal everything about the map he had discovered in the Yuan Ting White Pearl, but the joy he felt right now truly needed to be shared with someone.
Once he had mastered this map, what place in the White Cavern would be beyond his reach?
As long as he avoided the place where Yousi Sword had drawn a horde of people into a mad scramble, he could quietly snatch up the resources elsewhere while those fellows desperately searched for the ultimate treasure.
Wouldn't all that combined be far sweeter than getting Yousi Sword, which would only bring disaster upon him once it left the White Cavern? With a rriiip, Xu Xiaoshou took a huge bite of the meat on the spirit sword. Smacking his lips a few times, he swallowed it in great mouthfuls.
"Not bad, Little Fish. What you roasted isn't any worse than mine."
Yu Zhiwen stared blankly at the spot Xu Xiaoshou had bitten.
That enormous bite had completely covered the marks she had just gnawed
