Next, it was Xiao Hu's turn.
The little guy searched high and low, relying on his memory, before zeroing in on a corner.
After shoving aside a few broken stones, a dusty, gray key came into view.
The Heaven and Earth Stone was ecstatic. "Kiddo! You've made me so proud!"
Finding the key so easily was just incredible luck!
Xiao Hu ignored it and scratched his head. "Female Mother, when I found the key, it was glowing. The moment I picked it up, it turned gray."
If the key hadn't been glowing, its dusty color would have blended in perfectly with the pool floor, and he never would have noticed it.
Yu An paused. "Glowing? 'Could it have intentionally revealed itself to Xiao Hu?'"
Noticing her gaze on it, the Heaven and Earth Stone quickly shook its metaphorical head. "No, no way. I made it from shards of my own body. Don't you think I'd know whether or not it can glow?"
But first things first. They set the matter aside for now; the most urgent task was to find Tian Fu.
