Unexpectedly, Wu Gou Fairy slowed her steps deliberately while walking.
Chu Xuan immediately followed suit and slowed down. To his surprise, she simply stopped walking altogether, leaving him awkwardly standing still.
Only to hear Wu Gou Fairy gently say, "There's no need to be so restrained, just consider me as an elder from your own family."
Having been told so, Chu Xuan could only agree while positioning himself alongside her, which finally made Wu Gou Fairy nod in satisfaction and continue forward.
Soon, the two of them arrived in the rear hall.
But the arrangement here... was completely different from what Chu Xuan had imagined!
This was a grim room, devoid of any magical artifacts, instead filled with dark instruments stained with rust and dried blood, with walls shackled with millennium-old dark iron chains.
