The two wandered side by side through the Ancient City, looking nothing like treasure hunters.
At the Crossroads, they spotted Mo Fan standing before a graceful statue of a woman. A clear pool lay at its feet.
Before they could get close, Mo Fan jumped into the pool and tapped the statue. It crumbled into sand!
Where the statue had stood was a crystal cup filled with shimmering liquid.
It was obviously something valuable. The Condensed Evil Pearl and Little Loach both shone brilliantly, further proof of how rare and precious the liquid was!
Mo Fan's eyes lit up. He placed the Condensed Evil Pearl and Little Loach in the liquid, but the pearl stopped after absorbing a third of it. Little Loach absorbed none at all.
"Why the hell are you so excited if you can't absorb any?" Mo Fan snapped.
Neither of them could absorb the rest, so Mo Fan had no choice but to put away the remaining two-thirds.
When he looked up, he saw Zhou Sining and Mu Nujiao standing beside the pool, watching him.
Mo Fan froze. "When did you get here?"
He had no idea how much Zhou Sining and Mu Nujiao had seen...
"Found something good?" Zhou Sining smiled, but his gaze rested on the crystal cup in Mo Fan's hand.
Mo Fan's face darkened with an I knew it look. "I found this. We agreed that whoever finds something gets to keep it. You're not going to steal it from me, are you?"
"Give me some." Zhou Sining held out his hand.
"Get lost. Find your own." Mo Fan turned away and carefully put the Liquid of Time away.
"Stingy. Just give me a little. Even one sip will do," Zhou Sining said.
It wasn't that he desperately wanted it.
