He had just sensed her aura, but along with it was an unusually strong and unfamiliar King Beast's presence. A strange panic and wariness instantly rose within him.
However, when he rushed over, he saw her walking out of the forest as if nothing was wrong, clutching a pile of plain wooden boxes. There was no suspicious stranger following her.
"I ran into Ze Sheng. He gave me all of this."
"Ze Sheng?" Mi Yin furrowed his brow. 'That sounds like the name of some annoying male.'
Only then did An Jin remember that the two had never met.
In truth, she wasn't very familiar with Ze Sheng herself, but afraid that her little snake would get jealous, she patiently explained their recent encounter and the short version of how they'd met.
He nodded, but his newfound unease hadn't faded. His gaze fell upon the wooden boxes in her arms. "What's in these?"
"Blood Crystals."
