Li Yuan felt a faint warm and slippery sensation in his fingers as he held onto the small foot, like warm jade under the sun...
Zhenyan Xue's face turned red, and she hurriedly pulled away, shouting, "We don't know each other well, don't touch me."
Li Yuan put the boot on her foot and said, "Hurry back and find my father. You'll walk faster with shoes on."
The silly girl, flustered from having her foot touched by a man, ran off in a daze, not knowing where she was. She ran several miles in one go, then suddenly stopped, turning back to shout, "Mu Er..."
No response.
"Mu Er!!"
Zhenyan Xue called out.
But still, there was no response.
She stomped her foot, saying, "Oh no, I've lost Mu Er."
Meanwhile, Li Yuan watched the silly girl sprint away, his eyes filled with a contemplative look. He had been observing this girl, as she was, after all, the key to the "Immortal Tomb."
Footsteps quickly echoed from across the road, a combination of officials and ruffians.
