Song Xiwei trembled, and after a moment of stunned silence, she quickly activated her auditory senses.
"What's wrong?" she asked Aoqian.
Aoqian seemed a little troubled. After a pause, he said, "There are two roads ahead, and I don't know which one to choose."
Song Xiwei was about to peek when Ao Qian said, "You'd better not look."
Song Xiwei quickly leaned her head back into Aoqian's arms, her voice tense: "What's the situation?"
“One is a dead snake, and the other is alive,” Aoqian said calmly.
Song Xiwei: "..."
Just how deep is this secret passage?!
We've been gone for so long.
Is Xiao Zhuang really inside?
"The dead or the alive?" Aoqian asked her.
Song Xiwei didn't know either, but she still felt that death was unlucky, so she said, "Alive, put me down, and I'll start fighting!"
Hearing her obviously tense voice, Aoqian's lips twitched. "There's no need."
"What do you mean it's unnecessary?" Song Xiwei was still confused by Aoqian's ambiguous words when Aoqian picked her up and continued walking.
Just as she was about to peek, Aoqian reminded her, "Are you sure you want to see?"
Song Xiwei could even hear the hissing and wriggling sounds of the snakes. She was about to pass out again, her whole body tense in Aoqian's arms.
"They're all alive, and you said they're highly poisonous. What if they bite? I... I could actually try to overcome it..."
Song Xi gritted her teeth, trying to overcome the obstacle, but then she heard Ao Qian's laughter, "Why bother with all that trouble? These snakes won't dare bite me, just stay in my arms and don't move around."
Upon hearing this, Song Xi, suppressing a chill run down her spine, asked him in confusion, "Then why did you ask me which way to go earlier..."
Ao Qian said, "Turn off your hearing, Song Xiwei. I'll call you when we arrive."
Song Xiwei couldn't stand those annoying sounds any longer, so she quickly turned off her hearing.
Without being polite to Aoqian, she snuggled into his arms, her eyes tightly closed.
Aoqian held Song Xiwei in his arms, and didn't feel tired at all.
Song Xiwei looked very thin, and felt almost weightless when held in one's arms.
But she wasn't uncomfortable at all; holding her felt like holding a soft, fluffy rabbit—it was a strange, indescribable feeling…
Aoqian didn't let himself get distracted by thinking too much, because those snakes were indeed an eyesore.
But it's true that these snakes are also afraid of him.
Despite the damage to his spiritual veins, his pure demon lord bloodline made these demonic serpents instinctively fear him.
Each time he lifted and lowered his foot, the snakes would move aside to allow him to pass.
And so, he successfully completed the journey.
After passing through the secret passage, Aoqian heard the sound of wind and waves crashing against the rocks.
Song Xiwei peeked out from Aoqian's embrace, activated her hearing, and asked, "Where is this place?"
"Congratulations, Song Xiwei, we've found the exit of the Dragon Bone Altar." Aoqian glanced down at the person in his arms and said with a smile.
Song Xiwei was stunned, looking at the suddenly open sky and sea. She never expected that they would accidentally find the hidden exit of the Dragon Bone Altar!
"Young Master, that's wonderful!"
Song Xiwei felt a sense of relief, and she excitedly looked up at Ao Qian, even though from this angle she could only see Ao Qian's chin. "After we get out, find a place to settle down first. I will meet up with Shao Jun as soon as I find Xiao Zhuang!"
Hearing that she was going to abandon him again, Ao Qian narrowed his eyes and tightened his grip on Song Xiwei. "Are you sure you want to go back the way you came?"
