Just as she'd expected, the thing then proposed that it wanted to leave for a while.
Gu Xi, of course, wouldn't agree.
The thing possessed its own consciousness, could devour superpowers, and could parasitize any other species. It was silent and stealthy, making it impossible to guard against.
It was, quite simply, a ticking time bomb of immense power.
How could Gu Xi possibly let such a dangerous entity escape her perception?
But using force wouldn't work either.
Ultimately, Gu Xi could sense it, but she couldn't capture it.
Her only option was to coax it patiently.
Fortunately, while the thing wasn't unintelligent, it considered Gu Xi its companion and was very close to her, so it let its guard down.
Soon, Gu Xi learned through their connection that the reason the thing wanted to leave was that it had discovered a very interesting place while wandering nearby.
It was right below the cliff.
It even indicated that it had smelled a familiar scent beneath that cliff.
