Various guesses flashed through Mo Shuwan's mind as she tried to find an answer that was more likely to be close to the truth. However, she was unable to find the answer. Perhaps because the young man could appear at any time, the monster did not summon Qu Dan and the others back.

Mo Shuwan sensed that Wen Zuo and the others were very, very far away, so she had no choice but to give up her plan to find them and continue collecting crystals for the monster, hoping to find out more information from the monster's side.

Of course, this is all predicated on the monster never actually handing her over to the young man.

For more than a day afterward, the monster did not intend to hand Mo Shuwan over to the young man, but the young man discovered it on his own.

The reason was simply because the monster had a smell he disliked.

Unable to sit on the ground any longer, Mo Shuwan was too exhausted to complain and silently looked at the young man squatting in front of her.

The young man looked at Mo Shuwan, then suddenly moved closer to her. He sniffed and took a deep breath, then stepped back with a smile, saying in a cheerful mood, "I recognize your scent. Someone I know has probably seen you before, but whoever it is, they are a disgusting person."

"Who exactly are you?"

"Tsk tsk, poor thing... You don't need to know who I am. Don't worry, I won't kill you, just stay put." After saying that, the young man looked at the monster kneeling beside him and beckoned, "Lie down."

The monster slowly crouched down in front of the young man, humbly pressing its head to the ground. Soon, it let out a painful growl, and the young man's hand was pressed on the monster's horns.

The enormous horn slowly shrank under the youth's hand...

A bloody smell wafted through the air. Mo Shuwan lowered her eyes, pondering who this being, who might surpass the bus, might know that she might have met before. In the end, after much thought, she could only think of the cloaked figure who had given her the monitoring jade pendant.

Since being discovered by the young man, Mo Shuwan has had no free time. She is watched by him all the time, with the eyes of someone looking at prey.

Another day passed, and the young man who had not found Wen Zuo and the others was not angry. Instead, he looked at Mo Shuwan with interest. He walked over and untied the strange ropes binding Mo Shuwan and said in a low voice, "I will give you one day. If you can escape in this day, I will let you go."

Mo Shuwan glanced at the young man, rubbed her wrists which were still a little sore from being tied up, and turned to walk into the darkness.

She knew she couldn't escape in the end; the monster could summon her back at any time. Until this problem was solved, any effort would be in vain. However, Mo Shuwan still decided to try her best to escape. She also wanted to see what this guy was up to.

After watching Mo Shuwan disappear into the darkness, the young man looked around but didn't find anything strange. He said with some puzzlement, "Could it be that I guessed wrong?"

The monster stood beside the youth, looking down at him, and suddenly another pupil appeared next to its bright red pupil.

The young man abruptly looked up, the chill that had sent a shiver down his spine vanishing. He frowned, suppressing his unease. "Impossible, they couldn't possibly be in a place like this..."

As Mo Shuwan walked away from the young man and the monster, she collected black crystals. The monster needed the black crystals and seemed somewhat dissatisfied with the young man; these crystals might save her life someday.
