A barely perceptible faint sound rang out.
That bizarre adhesive force that had bound the two tightly together, unbreakable like the laws of heaven and earth, vanished without any warning.
Along with Qinchen's final fierce assault, the baguette that had remained deeply buried in the warm, damp, and hot place slid smoothly out of its own accord.
