Chapter 808: Yuki-Onna
Just as Lu Yuting hesitated to receive it, Qi Xuansu stepped forward and took the bowl of water first.
Holding the bowl in his hands, he looked at the strikingly beautiful woman with bright eyes and white teeth. “Thank you for your kindness, miss. After traveling such a long way, a bowl of hot water is just what I need to chase away the chill.”
Li Mingshan continued his simultaneous translation.
After hearing this, the woman still did not speak. She simply lowered her eyes and knelt quietly by the stove.
Qi Xuansu raised the bowl of hot water to his lips.
Han Yongfeng, Qian Daren, and the others looked like they wanted to say something, but they stopped themselves.
Qi Xuansu did not immediately drink the water. Instead, he suddenly asked, “Miss, aren’t you curious about who we are?”
The woman still did not look at Qi Xuansu, but she finally broke her silence, speaking a few gentle words in the Wa language.
Without needing a signal from Qi Xuansu, Li Mingshan had already translated it. “She said she knows who we are. She’s neither curious nor afraid.”
Qi Xuansu joked, “You’re not on the verge of death, are you?”
As soon as those words left his mouth, the atmosphere in the room turned tense.
The several Daoists all stared intently at the woman.
