Days flowed by like water, gone before you knew it.
「A month had passed since Bai Mo entered seclusion.」
Other than on the first and fifteenth of the month, when Wei An delivered supplies to the door of the secluded chamber and could feel the heat radiating from within, there was no other news.
The shop clerks had long since grown accustomed to the Shopkeeper's absence, so things ran smoothly without any mistakes.
Lanshan had finally returned from Celestial Barrier Mountain.
The strapping man was wrapped in several layers of cloth bandages and looked rather miserable.
He had brought a large fish for the shop. Its head was massive and full of fangs.
Wei An stared at it. 'I wonder if a head like that can be used for fish soup.'
"Now this is a rare sight."
Qin Wen sniffed the earthy, fishy smell from the creature's body and couldn't help but ask:
"Where did you get this fish?"
Lanshan let out a breath.
"Do you remember that swamp in the mountains we couldn't get past?"
