On an isolated island.
Lan Xiuzhi waited anxiously, pacing back and forth, her heart restless.
Although the Saintess kept saying he would be fine, those were sea beasts. Every one of them had lived for countless years; they had no rank, yet they were far more terrifying than the realm of Imperial Dao. An encounter meant a slim chance of survival.
Lan Xiuzhi couldn't understand why the sea beasts would suddenly awaken.
"Trust me!" the Saintess continued to urge.
"Do you know him?" Lan Xiuzhi asked doubtfully.
"Not at all!"
"Then why should I trust you?"
"..."
Lan Xiuzhi then said, "Do you know Pingping well?"
The Saintess didn't know how to respond to that. To say she knew him well... that was limited only to their encounter in Central Continent. To say she didn't... too much had happened when they met.
Not long after, Chen Pingping returned, holding Hei in his arms.
Lan Xiuzhi's heart jolted, and she hurried over. "Pingping, it's so good to see you've finally come back."
