Laughter and cheerful voices filled Si Yan's camp. She Wang stood to one side, watching, his demeanor cold and silent.
She certainly had a penchant for picking up all sorts of strays to raise. She'd already taken in two snake cubs, and now she'd even found a peacock chick.
Si Yan's family followed the Silver Wolf Tribe towards the refuge, located directly beneath the ice cave. This very spot was where the gecko had scammed her.
Si Yan asked the gecko in surprise, "Isn't this the exact place where you scammed me?"
The gecko was indignant. "Scammed you? At your young age, don't spout such nonsense. I, an old man, never scam anyone."
Si Yan chuckled. As she looked up again, she observed the mountain's winding shape and the unusual patterns in its rock, distinct from ordinary stone. She picked up a piece of rock and tried to chisel at the mountain, only to find it unyielding.
"What kind of ore is this? It's incredibly hard."
The gecko remained silent. "..."
