"Stepfather, why don't we leave this valley now," Scorpion Beauty suggested.
Lan Qintian shook his head and said, "If we leave just like that, the Gu witch will surely awaken the Soul Gu inside Yaoyao, and then we would lose even this last sliver of hope."
Scorpion Beauty sadly lowered her head.
"Don't worry too much, we still have four years. In these four years, let's hope that nothing chaotic happens," Lan Qintian said, followed by a bout of coughing.
"Stepfather, are you alright?" Scorpion Beauty asked with concern.
Lan Qintian waved his hand and said, "It's nothing serious, just that I expended quite a bit of energy driving out the Gu poison from Yaoyao during the day. I'll just need to recuperate for a while using the Wood Spirit Bead and I'll recover."
"You must really take care of yourself, stepfather. If you fall, then everything is finished," Scorpion Beauty said anxiously.
