After parting ways with Xie Ziyuan, QingWu had originally planned to wander around the city and pick up some snacks. There was a well-known shop in the West Market that sold roasted meat pies, a taste that she couldn't forget even after becoming a ghost.
As she had just taken a bite of the pie, her expression suddenly changed.
Her dark and murderous look startled the old man selling the pies, causing his hands to tremble as he kneaded the dough. QingWu threw down the money and muttered, "Unreliable man."
She turned on her heel and left, while the old man sighed in relief, patting his chest and muttering, "That was terrifying. Did she see her man visiting a brothel or entering a gambling den?"
Neither was the case. QingWu had sensed that Xiao Chenyuan was injured.
Dread King's Manor.
With a loud bang, QingWu kicked open the door and strode in, still stuffing the last bit of meat pie into her mouth.
