In For a Penny, In For a Pound

Despite Fang Xing's seemingly fair suggestion, Chu Ci was so angry her teeth began to ache. Fang Xing, however, no longer paid any attention to her and simply returned his desk and stool to his storage sack before swaggering off to the front of a Scripture Cave. The words "Cave of Senses" were written on a sign next to it, and once Fang Xing flipped out a formation-countering talisman so its aura could be felt, the cave entrance opened up and allowed him to enter. Once inside, Fang Xing could see that the snowy walls within were carved with dozens of shelves, each adorned with shining jade scrolls containing the texts of spells and techniques.

The little princess Chu Ci had also followed him inside and stood at the entrance of the cave. She stared at him like a ghost, her gaze giving off a chilling sensation.
