Chuzheng found the exit and returned to look for Li Tang.
However, she only saw bloodstains at the original spot and did not see Li Tang.
Chuzheng frowned. Had someone dealt with him?
They didn't even leave the body for me!
Which damned bastard did this!
Chuzheng circled around within the narrow passage twice but did not find Li Tang.
Just as she was about to leave and search elsewhere, a hand suddenly reached out from the darkness and dragged her over.
"Shh."
Chuzheng's attack halted abruptly as Li Tang pulled her into his embrace. There were sounds of wings fluttering in the passage outside, getting closer.
Light moved past from outside, it was those bugs...
Chuzheng pressed against his chest, listening to his rapid heartbeat and feeling the warmth coming through the fabric.
The bugs were numerous, and it took a while for the outside to quiet down.
"I found the exit," Chuzheng said.
"Impressive," praised Li Tang.
"You can let go of me now."
