Gale could visibly see the ladies relaxing as the murder monkey breathed out for the last time. Gale peered at the beast one final time, inspecting the unrest in its dwindling spiritual aura. It had been even more visible when it was alive, providing evidence that its advance to gold was far from being natural.
The beast hadn't advanced not long ago, probably the shift in the environment was the catalyst of that.
Leaving the corpse there, Gale walked up the stairs to the mansion, Vale following, reverting to his merry cute appearance.
He found the three ladies gawking in his direction, even though one of them was blind. Gale wasn't sure how to start the conversation after he entered, but thankfully, Wang Li helped there.
"Thank god, you're in a fair state," Wang Li stated, her eyes moving to Vale to return to Gale. "Where's Xiaolin? She came with Vale before us?"
"Don't worry, she's fine," Gale said, finding her worried. "She's with my Senior apprentice Sister."
