The sun had just come out.
Nangong Yan became excited, seemingly forgetting the events from moments before, her one virtue being her quickness to forget.
The Black Demonic Spirit said, "Don't be so jumpy, if you like to hop around, hand over the Sacred Spirit Stone before you do." He truly worried that the other might take off with the stone.
Nangong Yan snorted through her nose and glanced behind her. The mountain behind had flattened out quite a bit, certainly not as dangerous now.
Sunlight filtered through, dispelling the mist in the forest.
Ye Chen took a deep breath and said, "We still have to hurry down the mountain, they might enter the cave to look for us again."
Suddenly, Nangong Yan grew serious. She still didn't know whether her father was alive and was naturally concerned. She had even had a nightmare last night and it now flashed through her mind.
Ye Chen handed her the water bag, and she gulped down two mouthfuls.
Ye Chen called out, "I'll go first."
