Let's talk about the other side.
Gu Shengyin stopped not far after leaving Westwind City.
She leaned against a large tree on the outskirts, slowly calming the mystic energy within her body, using the tree as support so she wouldn't collapse.
During the fight with Qing Yao, she had drawn too much mystic energy from within her; she had already noticed something was wrong during the battle, but forcibly suppressed it.
Now, as she relaxed, the aftereffects erupted—the entire right side of her body had fallen into a temporary state of numbness.
She must find the Vermilion Bird Fire soon, or else it's truly uncomfortable having a hidden time bomb in her body.
As she thought of this, her expression suddenly became tense—Qing Yao had appeared in front of her without her noticing.
"I must say, beauty, you're really fast. I almost lost you," he said exaggeratedly.
Though he said that, seeing his relaxed demeanor, it was clear he wasn't entirely serious.
