"Oh?" Chen Xun also turned to look at Big Black Ox.
"Moo, moo~" Big Black Ox's gaze was certain. They were still somewhere in this world.
He might as well have said nothing.
Chen Xun raised his brows slightly and said no more.
He surveyed his surroundings for a long while.
"Old Ox, let's wait here for now."
"Moo..."
Big Black Ox and Chen Xun understood each other without words.
They no longer intended to travel far. They would wait right here, because there were far too many things they needed to wait for.
"It really has been a long time since we came back." Chen Xun crouched down and picked up a speck of dust, a grain of earth. He shook his head with a soft chuckle. "They left nothing behind. This hasn't been the soil of our Divine Mountain Continent for a long time."
"Moo!" With a burning gaze, Big Black Ox nudged Chen Xun.
"Don't worry. The two of them are out there-one killing, one saving." A faint glint passed through Chen Xun's eyes. "As for everything else, we've only just returned. We needn't concern ourselves with it for now."
Big Black Ox glanced sideways at him.
Chen Xun now faced everything with a faint air of detachment. He had been as calm as still water at Eternal Antiquity's collapse, as calm as still water at every piece of dreadful news. Only when he saw this soil had a trace of emotion surfaced in his eyes.
"Moo, moo~"
"Third Sister..."
Chen Xun's voice sank slightly, and the fingers holding the soil paused. "She will return in her own time. No being in this world can hurt her. No one. She's simply gone to take care of some things. Once she's finished, she'll come back."
