Outside the mist of the Immortal Island.
On the deck of the merchant ship.
"General, it's 3:00 PM."
A Fish Scale Guard, respectfully spoke to a graceful silhouette sitting at the prow.
Hugging Chen Mo, Yue Ruyan heard these words, her eyelashes quivered like dewdrop-covered butterfly wings, her fingertips unconsciously twisting the folds of Chen Mo's robe, gazing at the man in her arms like a wooden figure, her pupils shimmering with ice-like glimmers.
"It's all my fault, if I hadn't said I wanted to try, if I hadn't said those things, you... you wouldn't have taken the risk, wouldn't have..."
Her lips paled to the hue of early cherry blossoms, suddenly gripping the jade necklace Chen Mo had given her, its coolness blistering against her skin.
More than three hours have passed.
And from what she knew, Chen Mo's soul travel limit was about one hour, far exceeding this now and Chen Mo hadn't returned, Yue Ruyan's heart already sensed misfortune.
