At Xiao Yu's words, my heart thumped several times, and I actually felt a little excited.
At last, I could be with Xiao Yu...
But then I thought of the blue crystal stone I had given her and asked again,

"Oh! All right!"
Then my phone buzzed a few more times.
I looked at it and saw messages from the group chat.

The ruins of an ancient city beneath the lake would appear, and the phosphorescent flames of the dead would light your way.
Remember, the host of this feast was not one of the living.
There was also a location attached afterward. It pointed directly to Luojia Lake in Cloud Province.
After seeing Mao Jing's response, I realized the kid was actually quite educated.
But Xiao Yu and I hadn't translated it wrong either. At least we had confirmed the location.
I sent a "Received" in the group chat, then put away my phone and walked quietly with Xiao Yu along the silent streets.
We walked and stopped, talking about many things for a long time.
It wasn't until three in the morning that we decided to head back to
