Chapter 654: Twin Ponytails, Demon Maid!
Back in the Thunder Department, Yun Xiao emerged from the Nine Thunders Origin Palace and made his way towards the wooden cabin where Cao Shuo resided.
As expected, he was followed. Likely, they suspected that Cao Shuo was not truly dead, and sought to drag him out into the open.
The Thunder Department was critically short on manpower, and the skills of the pursuer were lacking. With an effortless flick of his sword, Yun Xiao sent his blade sailing a thousand meters, severing the follower's head without a sound before moving on.
Before long, Yun Xiao returned to the secluded wooden cabin nestled in the mountain's lush ravine.
Cao Shuo, who was monitoring the surroundings with her spirit, knew instantly of his return.
Before he even reached the cabin, the wooden door creaked open, revealing two figures—one tall, one short, like a mother and daughter poised in the doorway.
There stood Thunder Emissary Cao, her curls falling to her chest, a violet dress clinging to her like a serpent, with tiny snakes coiled around her ears, lending her an allure laced with venom.
Her charm as the seductress of the Thunder Department was familiar to Yun Xiao, who found no surprise in it.
What did surprise him was Pale Revenant.
