'A spider...'
Yu Zhizhi thought of the spider silk that had protected her throughout her nightmare. She had heard the Lord of Paradise's voice, but he hadn't answered her question.
"I'm... not sure either..." Yu Zhizhi slowly sat up. She couldn't help but glance down at her wrist. The feeling of the spider silk in her dream had been so clear, but now there was nothing.
Buli gave the young boy a few coins.
As agreed, this was his payment.
Gu Xi cupped the few silver coins, bowing low. Just as he was about to turn and leave, he heard the most distinguished-looking of the group, a Mermaid Male, speak slowly, "Do you want to come back with us to the undersea?"
'They're from the undersea...'
The young boy had long since realized that their status was anything but ordinary; they were either rich or noble.
Only then did Yu Zhizhi notice him.
