Actually, Gu Yuexi's abrupt departure wasn't some deliberate attempt to look cool. It was because... she truly had something to attend to.
Something urgent!
What was it?
Inside the Shadowland Secret Realm, after she and Chu Sheng had finished off the remaining beast hordes, Chu Sheng had been busy collecting the Demon Beast corpses.
Meanwhile, she had ventured into the deepest part of the Secret Realm and successfully obtained a "goodie"—an Exotic Crystal Stone that was crimson all over.
This Crystal Stone contained a surging Qi Blood Power, which was also the reason a Seventh-Grade Demon Beast had appeared in the Intermediate Secret Realm of Shadowland.
Unfortunately, the Qi Blood Power within the Crystal Stone had already been mostly drained, but what remained was exceptionally pure.
Chu Sheng couldn't be bothered to fight her for such a small amount of Qi Blood Power.
