His palm unconsciously tightened around the shovel. He even felt a faint thrill of excitement as he hunched over, creeping closer step by step.
Bai Youyou's rage was uncontrollable, and she was just about to manifest when Su Nian pushed aside the grass and stepped out.

Out here in the desolate wilderness, she seemed like a fey creature.
But the sight was enough to make the man's eyes flush red.
