"": ""Go to sleep. It's late." Luo Feng stood up.

Luo Bin: "???"

He said nothing, but his expression conveyed his astonishment perfectly.

"We both need enough energy to face whatever tomorrow brings. How will you save your mother if you're dragging around an exhausted body, barely able to think?" With that, Luo Feng headed for his room.

Luo Bin stood motionless in the main room for a long, long time before finally going to his own room.

Sleepy?

How could I possibly feel sleepy?

He lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

The torment was too much. So was the anxiety.

First, there was Gu Ya.

Second, he had only one Oil Pouch left.

After tomorrow, he would need Lamp Oil. Otherwise, he would become this family's newest burden.

What would happen if he didn't drink Lamp Oil?

Perhaps he would end up like Chen Xianxian's older sister, Chen Xianxian-a bloodthirsty, man-eating evil spirit with no reason left?

No, she still had reason. The reason of an evil spirit that ate and deceived people. In any case, she was no longer human.

After tossing and turning for ages, he glanced at the clock. It was almost midnight. Five hours remained until dawn.

What about Gu Ya?

What was she doing right now?

Could she sleep peacefully?

He could still faintly hear the evil spirits calling out Gu Ya's name.

At least that told Luo Bin they hadn't found her. She was still alive.

Tap, tap, tap. Someone knocked on the window.

Luo Bin lifted his head slightly and glanced sideways.

A face was pressed against the window, its eyes peering through the gaps between the wooden slats.

"Come with me. I know where your mother is."

A thin, delicate voice reached his ears.
