Listening to Mr. Gou Wen's description, Tangze Asuka couldn't help but swallow, not because she was curious about the taste of the fruit made from living blood and flesh, but as a habitual action whenever she is deep in thought or shocked, similar to her habit of pursing her lips.
Beside her, Lu Ming also looked somewhat surprised at the Whale-man sitting in the carriage, apparently not expecting this guest from afar to be so well-versed about the Tree Continent, sparing her the trouble of a reluctant introduction.
"Everyone, we are about to enter the city. Please allow me to first take you to pay respects to the Minister, who will then inform Uncle Chun."
Lu An, following behind Lu Ming, stepped forward to address Fisher and the others, and Mr. Gou Wen cupped his hands in thanks to Lu An, saying,
"Much obliged."
