• Jiang Fan and Ye Qizhen saw a plump orange tabby lying atop the altar, and Little Turtle recognized it as a rare Ruins Spirit.

• Wang Yao climbed onto the platform, and the orange-cat Ruins Spirit's eyelashes stirred as it sniffed.
• Wang Yao prepared to strike with a hidden blade, but Jiang Fan sent her a message telling her to stay calm and promising to act.
