Song Ye chimed in, "Xi'er, once the formation is set up, you should swear the oath as Dan Chen suggested. It will keep you safe."

Song Ye understood that as long as those who coveted the Natural Beauty Fruit didn't know how to enter the formation, Xi'er would be safe. Conversely, if they had the ability to break the formation set by the Corpse-Gulping Mouse, they wouldn't need to harm Xi'er. So, as long as Xi'er kept the secret, she would be safe.

"Okay, big brother, I'll do as you say!"

Xi'er held Song Ye in higher regard than the Scarlet Tavern's owner, Hong Xu. Hearing Song Ye's advice, she immediately agreed.

The Corpse-Gulping Mouse took a full half month to complete the final stages of the formation around the three Natural Beauty Fruit trees. Normally, its abilities would allow it to set up a third-level formation sufficient to stop most people in Moonmount City, but Dan Chen insisted that it give its all, leading to the prolonged effort.
