Before he knew it, nearly half a month had passed since Xiao Mo arrived in Quicksand City.
During this time, aside from his daily meditation and cultivation in the courtyard, Xiao Mo spent his days familiarizing himself with the situation in and around Quicksand City.
When he learned that the former commander-in-chief of the front lines had been none other than the Sovereign of the Celestial Demon Country, he had a premonition that his future days in Celestial Demon City would not be easy.
However, he didn't dwell on it too much.
Meanwhile, Xiang Niang, who shared the courtyard, was her usual self, swaying her hips and teasing him from time to time.
But Xiao Mo, as always, maintained a perfectly measured distance from her.
In contrast, the woman named Xin Xiao'er had an icy-cold demeanor.
She came and went alone each day, never greeting anyone or initiating a single conversation.
Xiao Mo figured everyone had their own personality and didn't bother her.
