At that moment,
Amid the bustling Yao Groups in the Frontier Reclamation Yao Market, Su Changsheng's heart turned icy cold.
A bone-deep chill.
It was like being in an empty room, surrounded by silence. You were clearly alone, yet it felt as though countless venomous eyes were watching you.
His scalp prickled, as though thorns were digging into his back.
"Just what was that thing?"
"A Wraith Beast? Some other yao? Or some unspeakable anomaly?"
"Unfortunately, the lead involving Male Fox has gone cold."
Su Changsheng sighed.
He had originally only wanted to test whether some force had guided what happened between Male Fox and White Snake Woman today.
He had also wanted to check whether someone had tampered with Male Fox.
But now...
There was no way to investigate!
Most importantly, had Male Fox's death been a coincidence, or had some entity killed him outright to silence him?
There was no way to know that, either.
Still, regardless of which it was, Su Changsheng decided to stop investigating for now.
He was not strong enough. It was far too dangerous.
He needed to keep enduring, keep lying low, remain cautious, and grow stronger as quickly as possible.
That was the broad road forward.
As for White Snake Woman, Su Changsheng had originally all but ruled out anything being wrong with her. Now, however, that assessment still needed quotation marks around it.
He could not rule it out completely.
Because Male Fox was dead.
He still needed to be cautious around her!
"What a treacherous world. There are pits everywhere. One careless step, and you fall into one, your body dead and soul extinguished, your life worse than death."
Su Changsheng let out a long, quiet sigh.
He returned from the Yao Market.
The journey was peaceful. Nothing strange
