Step.
Step.
Step.
The narrow passageway echoed with the incessant sound of footsteps as Yi Chen continued to follow Feng Haoran's figure.
The flight of stairs had started to look unending at one point, with only a dim yellow glimmer from luminous stones to light their path every five or so meters.
'Just how far down do we need to go now…' Yi Chen complained in his mind while letting out a sigh which was clearly heard by Feng Haoran because of their proximity.
"Losing patience, huh?" Feng Haoran asked with an amused expression as he turned around to see Yi Chen's expression.
"…A little." Yi Chen answered with a forced smile the next second, eliciting a chuckle from Feng Haoran.
"We are almost there, so don't worry. I remember feeling the same when I was visiting a place for the first time as well. Each second felt like a torment as these stairs showed no signs of ending."
Feng Haoran turned back ahead and continued walking downwards.
