Early the next morning.
The sky was bright.
Chu Yuan stretched, preparing to set off and continue on his way, to leave this forest behind.
Anyway, Chu Yuan had no expectations that the creature beside him could lead him out of the forest.
Chu Yuan glanced sidelong at Ao Ye, squatting on the ground, lost in self-doubt.
It seemed that failing to find anything valuable during the night had left him huddled there, muttering to himself.
To be guided by someone who loved money and reeked of avarice...
Chu Yuan disdained the thought!
In fact, it wasn't because Chu Yuan feared the other would only lead the way for money.
It was simply disdain!
Chu Yuan harrumphed, dusting off his buttocks, ready to leave.
He stood up, intending to step out directly.
But then something occurred to him, and his gaze fixed on the stone chessboard on which he'd sat all night.
Honestly, sitting on the chessboard was quite comfortable.
Cool to the backside.
