Chapter 497: The Gap on the Bookshelf

"Back again, huh..."

Yan Xiaoru's voice murmured softly.

It had been many years since she left home in her childhood and she had not returned to this place.

Everything she saw before her had hardly changed from when she left those years ago.

A dense, eerie sea fog surged over the ocean, obscuring the view of the sea surface.

Standing on the shore, she could only see the water three or four meters away from the beach.

In the chilly water, it seemed like fish were swimming.

On the sandy beach, full of fine grains and numerous holes, many strange sea creatures hid in the small burrows in the sand.

Yan Xiaoru stood on the beach, lost in thought for a long time. The briny sea breeze hit her face, and she seemed to return to that night in her childhood, nestled in Aunt Su's arms, anxiously vigilant of everything around her, as if disaster and monsters could leap out of the darkness at any moment...

But that was a long time ago.
