"Please—Immortal—" Li Zhi's signature booming voice echoed from within the forest, and the Second God, with his bizarre body, began to tremble in sync.
"As the sun sets behind the mountains, darkness falls, every household shuts its doors, magpies and crows flock to the trees, sparrows and turtles scurry under the eaves, and the road shortens—ah!!"
Li Zhi's invocation abruptly stopped out of nowhere, clearly catching the Second God off guard. He lifted his head in surprise and looked at Li Huowang in front of him, as well as the upturned corners of his mouth.
"You came specifically to test me, but haven't I been testing you too? The monks have deceived me once before, and as the saying goes, 'Once bitten, twice shy.' I must be cautious of something, mustn't I?"
No sooner had Li Huowang finished speaking than the sound of scattered footsteps came from the forest—it was Dog Baby Fool and the others.
