The journey back to the cave was extremely quiet, so quiet that Si Yan thought time had stopped. It wasn't until they returned to the cave that the chirping of insects outside started up again.
In Si Yan's space, the noisy gecko that had faked a collision with her seemed to have tired itself out, finally falling silent.
The Old Gecko said, "I'm tired. I'm going to sleep. Good grandson, don't call me Grandpa unless it's necessary."
Even the usually good-tempered Si Yan rolled her eyes at the Old Gecko, who liked to take advantage of her and call her grandson.
"You're just like that snake; you love to sleep."
The Old Gecko opened its eyes and swept its gaze around the cave before landing on the adult snake Beastman inside.
