Having not seen Su Yaoyao for days, Bai Lian, Reg, and Pani were pacing around the inn like ants on a hot pan, frantic with worry.
The atmosphere in the room was so oppressive it was hard to breathe. Anxiety and worry were written all over their faces.
Reg paced back and forth, fists clenched, cursing furiously. "That bastard Mingye has refused to let us into the castle time and again, and Yaoyao hasn't left it in days. Did something happen to her?" His eyes revealed a deep unease, as if he had a premonition that something terrible was happening.
Pani sat to one side, his brow furrowed. He said helplessly, "Snake Scale City has its own independent communication network. We can't use the Star Network, so there's no way for us to contact Yaoyao. It's like we're cut off on an information island, completely in the dark. It's driving me crazy!" He ran a hand through his hair in frustration, his anxiety growing more intense.
