The Nine Carols Star

The Mercury Gourd floated on the boundless surface of the water. Zhang Ruochen sat on the gourd as he used his Heaven's Eye to observe his surroundings, looking for a route into the depths of Luoshui.

The Fool woke up, and a look of joy appeared in his eyes as he saw Zhang Ruochen beside him. He then blurted out, "Zhang Ruochen, why are you here at Luoshui?"

Zhang Ruochen closed his Heaven's Eye and said, "Shouldn't you be curious about why you're still alive?"

"What's there to be curious about? You must have saved me. Thanks, heh."

The Fool broke into a nonchalant smile as he stood up with a look that said he could not have cared less.

"Who wounded you?" Zhang Ruochen asked.

The Fool stopped smiling while he began recalling, and his eyes gradually sharpened. "The Blood Wasp Ashuran King."
