Is there something outside?
Shen Yuan frowned as he looked outside. It was night, but with the bustling trade in Jiangnan, lights from boats were visible everywhere, creating a lively scene rather than a pitch-black void, providing a sense of security instead of fear.
The 'thing' the little girl referred to was clearly not one of those reassuring presences...
"What are you referring to?" Shen Yuan asked in a low voice, looking at the girl whose face had turned pale.
"I don't know..." the little girl lowered her head, covering it with her hands, "I dare not look in that direction, I don't know what it is, but it's watching me... always watching me!"
"Silly girl, are you talking nonsense again?" Yun Yuye immediately frowned. The child had always been babbling about spirits, and this time, when she was finally being regarded highly, she acted like this. What if she made a bad impression?
"It may not be nonsense..." Shen Yuan, however, took her seriously.
