It wasn't Wang Man speaking, so the person speaking was...
"You'd better leave quickly. She's coming back," the voice rang out again.
Xu Le frowned slightly. She was coming back? Who was she? This should have been a well-intentioned warning, right?
At a time like this, although he didn't know who the other person was, staying alert was necessary.
This person could detect him and had warned him to watch out for "her."
It was very likely because this "she" also had a strong chance of detecting him. Was she the leader of the red-robed ascetics?
"Wang Man, let's go down."
"Huh? We're not going any higher? There's still some distance above us."
"No. This spot feels a little dangerous. To be safe, we'd better leave as soon as possible."
Although Wang Man didn't know where the danger Xu Le mentioned came from, she still nodded and agreed to his request.
After all, she had already explored this place once. This time, she had come specifically to bring Xu Le here to explore.
Since Xu Le wanted to leave, she naturally wouldn't stay here either.
"All right, let's go."
Their soul forms began descending rapidly, leaving the platform garden as quickly as possible.
Not long after they left, a red figure slowly descended from the sky.
She must have dropped down from higher up the tree. When she landed in the platform garden, the red figure raised her head slightly.
Her delicate nose searched the air for something. A few seconds later, she reached the spot where Xu Le's and Wang Man's souls had just floated.
In front of that patch of red flowers, she gently plucked the flower.
Then she pulled back her hood and held the flower beneath her nose to smell it.
"The scent of souls."
