Yun Ji frowned slightly. "What is it?"
The beastman guard said, "You will understand once you go inside, Holy Priest. Qiao Xixi will explain everything."
Since Qiao Xixi had already gone inside, Yun Ji didn't press the matter and simply walked in.
But when Sunxuan tried to follow, the beastman guard stopped him.
"Please halt, Beast Guard. The Beast King only permitted the Holy Priest and Qiao Xixi to enter. But rest assured, Beast Guard, no harm will come to them inside."
Sunxuan's serpentine eyes grew cold, but this was the Beast King's bedchamber. No one would dare harm them here.
"Fine."
Qiao Xixi expertly navigated the secret passage, arriving in the stone grotto filled with Sea Pearls.
Perhaps Yaoxi's words had gotten to her. Now that she was back, her thoughts subconsciously drifted to Jin Ling and the others.
'Gilt gold... crimson... and white...' She drew a sharp breath. 'No way. There's no reason for this to correspond to Jin Ling and the others.'
