"..., I, have been waiting for you for a long time."
A long-drawn-out voice came from within the black stone tower.
An Jianyou's eyes widened, positioning Xiao Hei protectively in front of her, and then she saw a slender figure emerging from the great door beneath the stone tower.
The newcomer's figure appeared very human-like, clad in a black cloak with a hood drawn up, revealing a glimpse of flowing silver hair. Beneath the cloak were a pair of silver boots, stepping on the cracked ground and walking forward.
"Humans from a world not yet devoured, you need not fear."
"My name is Yi Yuanxilu, the noble and grand world guide, I have been waiting for you for a long time."
She slowly pulled down the hood, revealing an exquisite, flawless face.
Paired with her shining silver hair, she looked like a doll come to life from a painting.
An Jianyou puffed her cheeks, her expression wary.
