"No need. We'll split it fifty-fifty," Shen Yunjiao said, her tone somewhat cold as she shook her head.
"Alright then." Chen Xiaorong didn't insist further.
Zhao Zuo casually produced a few Cleaning Talismans and used them on Chen Xiaorong. The bloodstains and dirt on her instantly vanished, and her Taoist Robe was pristine once more. It seemed her complexion had even improved significantly. Her gaze softened as she looked at Zhao Zuo, and she spoke quietly.
"Thank you."
Nearby, Shen Yunjiao pursed her lips at the sight but said nothing.
Chen Xiaorong took the first watch of the night, so Zhao Zuo and Shen Yunjiao began to rest. However, they both kept a portion of their awareness focused on their surroundings. This place was hardly safe, after all.
A few two-hour periods later, Shen Yunjiao took over from Chen Xiaorong, swapping the watch.
Time passed quickly, but the enemy never attacked.
「The next day, at dawn.」
