Not far behind her, Xia Xiaodie was tied up, sitting on a wooden bed.
Xiaodie had always been clever, and judging by her appearance, it seemed she hadn't suffered much over the past few days, looking only slightly worn out in spirit.
Xu Fan relaxed momentarily, then promptly shouted toward the thatched hut.
