When Qiao Xixi came out of the secret passage, her hands were red from being zapped.
The inner hall was empty. The Beast King seemed unconcerned now, likely figuring she couldn't escape and thus letting her wander the palace freely.
Qiao Xixi took out some Recovery Glue and rubbed it on her hands. 'If Sunxiao and the others saw this injury, they would probably tear this bedchamber apart to take me back.'
She hadn't been able to find a breakthrough, so she didn't plan on wasting any more time in the Beast King Hall. Besides, her priority now was finding Yu Ye and the others. Her movements weren't restricted like before; she just had to return here by nightfall.
Qiao Xixi left the Beast King Hall.
The moment she stepped outside, she came face-to-face with Yun Ji.
Yun Ji spotted her and hurried over. "Shuishui."
"Yun Ji, what are you doing here again?"
Yun Ji's expression was typically cold and aloof, but her words instantly brought a bright, boyish sorrow to his features.
