Rustle, rustle, rustle――
The sound of scraping wood became clearer.
It was accompanied by the heavy breathing of some kind of animal.
Leng Yebai took a large step forward, walking ahead of Bai Xiqin.
If anything unexpected happened, Leng Yebai could better protect Bai Xiqin.
He knew Xiao Niu was formidable, but he still didn't want her to suffer any harm.
The two walked for a while and stood in front of an inconspicuous door.
The door was somewhat worn out, with white paint peeling off, revealing the wood underneath.
The sound of breathing and scraping wood came from behind the door.
Bai Xiqin tapped lightly in the air, and the white wooden door slowly opened.
The scraping sound didn't stop; the "person" inside continued scraping the wood.
It was pitch black inside, and a shadow holding a tool could be seen faintly, bent over, working on a piece of wood.
Sawdust covered the floor, ankle-deep.
