In the interlocking caves beneath Qingqiu, Li Huowang and his companions stood bathed in silver light, gazing at the exit above.
"It's so high, and almost vertical. How are we supposed to climb that?" Dogwa craned his neck, staring grimly at the speckled stars beyond the opening.
This might have been a major problem for the others, but for the present Li Huowang, it was an easy fix. Even if he couldn't solve it himself, someone at his side had other methods.
Li Huowang turned his head and shot Bai Lingmiao a look, lifting his chin in her direction. Hesitation flickered across her face, but she ultimately nodded and pulled her red veil over her head. Seeing this, Li Huowang's expression grew a shade graver, but he said nothing.
"DUM DUM DUM! Head tied in a Headscarf, feet treading Ziwei's earth! Today is auspicious in Shangguan, Southern Dou relies on Northern Dou! The Great Lord resides in Southern Dou Star Six, and the Beidou Mouth brims with Ziwei—eh!"
