Raindrops pounded down, making the leaves sag and bob. The wind, heavy with rain, caused the entire forest to tremble.
The rain had turned the dirt path into a mire of mud, making the road extremely slippery and difficult to traverse. Yet, even on such a treacherous path, someone was still hurrying along.
The thin figure, cloaked in a grass raincoat and wearing a bamboo hat, occasionally glanced back, as if wary of someone in pursuit. With a gust of wind, the thin veil of the bamboo hat was blown aside, revealing Shangguan Yuting's exquisite face.
Despite the hat, the raging wind splattered raindrops everywhere, leaving droplets on Shangguan Yuting's face like pearls on a lotus leaf. A few black tentacles snaked out from beneath her clothes, swiftly wiping the droplets away.
Just then, a booming laugh echoed from behind. "HA HA HA HA…!" The sound sent a jolt of panic through Li Sui.
