When they were awakened by the sudden howling of wolves, the two guards who were resting against the carriage broke out in a cold sweat. They stammered and woke their masters, telling them that they had been surrounded by wolves.
Li Mai and Zhou Quan were sleeping in the space when they suddenly felt their palms getting hot.
In her sleep, she thought Zhou Quan's fire spirit root was causing her trouble again, but when she opened her eyes, she saw a phoenix jade pendant in her palm, which was gradually turning red.
Um?
Li Mai sat up in surprise. This was Zhong Hui's jade pendant. How did it suddenly end up in her hands, and why did it suddenly change from its original jade white color to reddish-orange? And it even showed signs of turning redder.
She clearly remembered that she had put the jade pendant in the box on the cabinet over there before she went to sleep.
Li Mai suddenly thought of a possibility, quickly got out of bed, put on her shoes, ran to the cabinet, opened the box, and found that the Qilin jade pendant was also trembling.
"Something's wrong, those two kids seem to be in danger." Just as Li Mai finished speaking, Zhou Quan's voice came from behind, "Xiaomai, what's wrong?"
"Zhou Quan, hurry up and get dressed. I think those two boys are in danger. Their jade pendants are warning me." As she spoke, she showed Zhou Quan the two jade pendants.
Zhou Quan paused for a moment, then said, "Hurry up and get dressed, I'll go get the carriage ready. Don't be afraid, once we're outside, I'll listen for any sounds. As long as it's within a few miles of us, I can find it."
“Okay!” Li Mai quickly grabbed her clothes and put them on, then grabbed the dagger and left the space with a thought.
They rested in a mountain valley.
After she went out, the valley was quiet and she couldn't hear a sound. Could it be that the two of them were far away from her?
She went back in and saw that Zhou Quan had already harnessed the carriage. With a thought, she took him and the carriage out of the space.
“Listen and see where the sound is?” Li Mai stood by the carriage, looking around.
Zhou Quan listened intently for a while, then suddenly said, "It sounds like there are many wolves howling on the other side of the mountain."
"I understand. I'll take you in and go myself. You're too busy; you'll just be food for the wolves if you face them!" Li Mai said to him before quickly heading up the mountain.
Zhou Quan, standing behind her, sighed helplessly. He only had time to glance at her back before he found himself back in the space.
After securing the carriage, Zhou Quan paced back and forth by the stream with a sense of helplessness. He then silently looked down at his abdomen, wondering when the two spiritual roots residing inside him would awaken and make him stronger enough to protect and help his wife.
