After a while, her stomach no longer hurt. Just when she was about to turn over and sit up, she suddenly expelled a loud air bomb. The sound was so loud that she was sure that Bai Qiu outside the hall must have heard it.

.

Therefore, Kan Yuxuan instantly felt ashamed and fell down again, burying her whole head under the pillow.

"Ah……"

Bai Qiu did hear the sound, and he didn't feel any embarrassment because he knew it was a sign that the herbs were taking effect.

But when he saw that Kan Yuxuan's stomach was still recovering, he walked into the inner room. When he saw Kan Yuxuan shyly hiding her head under the pillow, he couldn't help but laugh.

"Let's go when it doesn't hurt anymore. It's late at night. Go back quickly so that you can rest early."

Bai Qiu reminded her from the bead curtain.

"I...I don't have any clothes to change into."

Kan Yuxuan shifted her attention awkwardly.

"Put on my clothes first and make do with it."

Hearing this, Bai Qiu went to the closet and took out two long coats.

"move.

Follow me closely."

Bai Qiu took the clothes and walked out of the inner room. When he turned around and saw Kan Yuxuan still sitting on the bed, he urged her.

"oh!"

Kan Yuxuan responded, put on her shoes and caught up with him.

After leaving the main hall, it was pitch black outside. Although there were stone lampposts on the roadside, none of them had candles lit.

The entire Demon Palace is dark and silent. If a person walks in this palace alone, it will really make people feel eerie and scary.

Whenever she walked to the palace passage where the moonlight was obscured, the frightened Kan Yuxuan would follow Bai Qiu closely, and almost stepped on the heel of Bai Qiu's shoe several times.

"Go ahead."

When he reached a small bamboo forest, Bai Qiu stopped, pointed into the bamboo forest, handed the clothes in his hand to Kan Yuxuan, and motioned for her to go there.

"Inside?"

Kan Yuxuan glanced at the bamboo forest with black shadows, and was a little afraid to enter.

"Well, there is a natural sulfur hot spring inside. Go in by yourself. I will wait for you here."

Bai Qiu had lived here for hundreds of years and always came here to take a bath to relieve her fatigue. So it was so late and it was inconvenient to ask someone to boil water for her to bathe, so he brought her here directly.

"oh!"

Kan Yuxuan responded, hugged the clothes in her arms tightly, took a deep breath to strengthen her courage, and walked into the bamboo forest with her legs up.

It was so quiet in the middle of the night that Kan Yuxuan could hear the sound of dry bamboo leaves being crushed under her feet every step she took.

"Bai Qiu, are you still there?"

But the deeper he went, the more frightened Kan Yuxuan became. In order to be brave, she talked loudly to Bai Qiu.

"exist.

Don’t worry, I will always be here waiting for you.”

Bai Qiu outside the forest replied loudly.

"I'm not afraid! There are no ghosts in this world! There's nothing to be afraid of! There's nothing to be afraid of..."

Bai Qiu's answer was so chatty that Kan Yuxuan could only talk to herself to cheer herself up.

Although Bai Qiu did not follow Kan Yuxuan into the forest, his ears were always listening carefully to Kan Yuxuan's movements. He could feel her fear from Kan Yuxuan's footsteps that were hurrying and slowing.

How could he go with her if there was no difference?

"Wow--"

"What's wrong?!"

Bai Qiu, who was outside the forest, suddenly heard Kan Yuxuan scream in surprise. He turned around, took a step forward, and asked Kan Yuxuan in the forest.

"...No, it's nothing!

A big rat just ran over and I was startled by it!"

Kan Yuxuan gasped in shock.

"...Are you afraid of being alone?"

Bai Qiu only paid attention to whether there were any smells of other monsters around him, but did not pay attention to those animals.

"Fortunately, just don't leave outside."

Kan Yuxuan replied bravely.

"Well, I'll wait for you."

Bai Qiu responded, and Kan Yuxuan had already reached the sulfur hot spring he mentioned.
