After Ao Qin left, Zhu Mangqi could not help wiping the cold sweat from his brow with his sleeve.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, you've really gotten us killed this time. We haven't even stolen the Dragon Palace's Water-Fire Resonance Pills yet, and now we've been pressed into service and have to help them search for the Water-Fire Resonance Pills." He transmitted his voice to Shen Luo, sounding rather dejected.
"What's there to fear? Since we're here, we might as well make the best of it." Shen Luo was utterly unconcerned.

"Well... I am curious, but it wouldn't be much fun to lose our lives over that curiosity," Zhu Mangqi sighed.
"Don't worry. With me here, I won't let you lose your life," Shen Luo reassured him.

I will not break my word."
"Alright!"
"We'll do it!"
