Dong Aigou paced nervously within the cavern, the faint glow of his soul lamp illuminating the cavern walls. Hours had bled into one another since Feng Xiaoyu had entered Yin Lian's abode. He kept checking the signal amplifier embedded in his own earring, a device specifically designed to pick up the faint signal from Feng Xiaoyu's earring.
Finally, a tremor ran through the amplifier, a single, pre-arranged pulse. Relief washed over Dong Aigou. Feng Xiaoyu had made contact. He activated his own teleportation artifact, a swirling vortex of blue light encompassing him before dissipating him from the cavern.
He reappeared before a startled Feng Xiaoyu, who quickly masked her surprise with a sly smile.
"How did it go?" Dong Aigou wasted no time in his inquiry, his eyes filled with a question that demanded a clear answer.
