"Ming...?"
During the chaotic period of earthquakes and tremors, Mei seemed to keenly capture the presence of some existence with extremely powerful life force from the forest.
"This Ming you mentioned, is he very strong?"
"He's strong Emptiness Refining stage at least! You must save Yino! He can't survive an Emptiness Refining elder!"
Despite watching Mei slaughter the guards, Ruoning still worried about Yino's safety, her concern genuine and foolish.
"Emptiness Refining? hehehe~"
Mei threw back her head and laughed, the sound sharp as breaking glass. "Mother Goddess smiles on me! Heaven always leaves a path!"
The massive plum vines around her writhed with excitement, sensing her rising bloodlust.
She turned to Ruoning, untying the branches that bound her with deliberate care. "Stay here. Don't move. I'll go save your precious Yino~"
...
Yino had gotten carried away tonight, drunk on power and possibility.
