Chapter 799: The Strange Scent
"A’Ying will be fine," Tuzi AoFen responded with a smile.
When Shenlian Yingyue extended her divine perception to survey her surroundings, she was taken aback to find that it could scarcely penetrate beyond a hundred meters. The truth of Fen Fen’s warning became clear—there was no escaping this forest without proper guidance.
Huang Bai Xing, skeptical of malevolent forces, attempted to summon his Shadow Army, yet his efforts proved futile.
"It’s pointless to try to escape," Dongfang Moqing said, his gaze sharp as he reached for the glowing paper crane in his hand.
The crane was a tool of navigation, usually unfaltering in its ability to guide him through the thick fog, intricate tunnels, and misleading illusions. However, in this moment, it too seemed to fail him, unable to locate a path leading out of the forest.
"Come with me, Xiao Yueyue," Tuzi AoFen urged, grasping her wrist as he began to navigate deeper into the forest.
"What about the safety of Uncle Huang and his family?" Shenlian Yingyue questioned during their stroll, her concern directed at Huang Bai Xing.
"That’s not your concern; I have a plan in place for them," Huang Bai Xing replied with a frosty demeanor. His evident disdain for her left the others confused about his attitude toward her.
Shenlian Yingyue felt her lips twitch. At a time like this, he still harbored resentment toward her despite everything they’d endured together? Nonetheless, she had to acknowledge Huang Bai Xing’s skill in turning situations around.
