Shen Hua is in a wait-and-see mode; she needs to learn more before making a move.

The fox was even more curious than she was; if Chen Hua hadn't been holding it back, it would have disappeared.

"Brother, half of the stones here are green, but the quality isn't very good."

After pulling Chen Hua closer, it whispered, "But that shop has some good stuff, and quite a lot of it."

Without it saying anything, Shen Hua could tell that if there weren't good things inside, how could so many people have gone in?

"Then let's go inside and take a look. You can't just wander off."

The fox nodded and pulled Chen Hua inside.

The feeling inside was completely different from the outside. Everything inside was arranged very neatly, and every stone was placed in its proper place with a price tag below it.

Looking at the stones along the way, none were worth less than one million; it really was a high-stakes gamble.

Despite this, many people still buy them. After buying them, there's a stone-cutting area in the center where they're specially cut.

It looks so spectacular that it makes you want to spend money.

Of course, Shen Hua held back.

Although there are quite a few good spirit stones inside, the fox said that the one that hadn't been opened before was even better.

Moreover, unlike these people, she doesn't get rich from this, so she doesn't have their sense of urgency or anticipation.

Watching everyone there watching the stone being cut, their tense expressions made it seem as if their own stone was being cut.

There was a lot of noise behind, so Shenhua was sure that there was still space inside, and it was quite large.

But when she got to the door, she was stopped. She knew it was happening again, all this secrecy.

She stepped back out to look at the stones outside, told the fox to try his luck again, and then went back.

After wandering around for a short while, as the crowd thinned out, Chen Hua felt a sense of urgency; many dangerous things were approaching.

There were not only humans among them, but also demons. It was extremely rare for humans and demons to come together. It was unknown who they were looking for.

She was certain that neither humans nor demons were coming to find her.

It's not realistic to go outside with the crowd; there's always the possibility of danger. The only option is to find a place to hide first and go out when it's safe.

Fortunately, there was accommodation here, and it wasn't far from where she was. She booked a room and stayed there to observe the outside world.

Those things slowly approached, but stopped at a certain point, which, judging from the distance, was a pass checkpoint.

However, they didn't stop for long before coming in again. Chen Hua realized that someone had sensed her spying, so she quickly looked away.

There are also powerful beings. It seems that nowadays, there are not only ordinary people, but also powerful beings. Just being able to sense a little bit of her spying is already quite impressive.

Standing on the windowsill, looking down at the street, there were hardly any people left; even the people who bought stones had packed up and hidden themselves away.

She didn't know what was going to happen outside, but someone else did.

She asked someone who worked at the store, and since he wasn't busy, he told Shen Hua what he knew.

"You mean those people outside? This isn't the first time they've come, but the last time was seven years ago. I didn't expect them to come this time. It seems they're dissatisfied with the person in power and want to take their place. I also heard someone say there are demons involved, and it seems they want to kill someone. I'm not really sure."

"However, there is one thing: if you want to survive, no matter what happens outside, seal the doors and windows shut and never be curious."
