Chapter 98: Taking the Lead

About half past five, before dawn, a scream pierced the night.

Gu Xiaoxi sat on the tree branch, looking at Zhuang Sheng, who turned in his sleep and fell from the tree, with a full head of black lines.

"You scared me to death; I thought I was being attacked." Zhuang Sheng, with a head full of weeds, climbed out of the bushes, thankfully unhurt. However, to his surprise, the sleep had even healed the wound on his foot.

Thank the heavens for their kindness!

Zhuang Sheng sorted out his clothes, looked up at Gu Xiaoxi, who was still resting her eyes on the tree, scratched his head embarrassingly, and said, "I fell asleep. When did you wake up? It's still early. You go back to sleep; I'll keep watch. We'll set off when it gets light."
