Hao Xuan held his breath and waited, steeling his heart in preparation for another disappointment but for once his 'prayers' were answered.

After a moment of intense silence the needle sprung into action, rattling back and forth before settling on the left.

Hao Xuan adjusted the compass until he was facing the same direction which left him scowling.

"That way again?"

He was facing the abandoned Beast Market once more.

"Why does everything lead back there??" he wearily muttered while marching towards it.

*Sniff*

But just as he exited the street a familiar scent caught Hao Xuan's attention.

"Augh, such a strong smell! Might as well carry a rose garden on your back!" he couldn't help but comment while quickly distancing himself from the place, unaware that there was another scent hiding within it.
