Feng Yueya, who finally felt a sense of presence, stood up, hopping to the guy's side, and shook his head.
"Yun Shangyuan, it doesn't want to lead the way for you," translated Feng Yueya as the Xuan Fox shook its head.
"No, it's saying that we can't proceed," Yun Shangyuan said instead.
"How do you know?"
"Because I'm smarter than you."
"…" The sassier side of the man made a comeback.
Feng Yueya vented her frustration by fiercely pinching his arm, but to no avail! She couldn't twist it at all! Instead, she ended up hurting her own hand.
How could she forget that he was a fellow as hard as wood?
Yun Shangyuan pondered for a moment, deeming it necessary to check out what lay ahead, perhaps unearthing some secret.
He looked toward the Xuan Fox and continued to instruct, "Don't worry about anything else, just lead the way ahead."
So, the Xuan Fox, tail wagging, went ahead to lead the way.
