Stepping out of the opulent tent, they were immediately greeted by the chilly night air of the Southern Wilderness and the even chillier glares of two women.
Liu Xiaoyu and Wu Meiyu were waiting by the dying embers of a bonfire, their postures stiff. When they saw Lin Mo emerge, arm-in-arm with the Venom Master, Xiaoyu's aura crackled with visible sparks of static electricity while Wu Meiyu narrowed her eyes.
"Boss," Xiaoyu said, her voice dangerously sweet. "You were in there for a while. Did you seal the deal? Or did you get… entangled in her webs?"
"We discussed business, Xiaoyu," Lin Mo replied calmly as he carefully disentangled his arm from Xun's tight hold. "As I promised her when I gave her the task to come here, Venom Master Xun will become another partner to our store, separate from the cult she belonged to. I also agreed to her request to assist her in her breakthrough."
