"So this is what it's like, traveling at night."
Carrying a bundle of firewood, Yue Feiyan followed beside Luciel, her bright red hair swaying as her curious eyes darted around the dark wilderness.
"Otherwise, what did you think it would be like?" Luciel glanced sideways at the lively, red-haired girl walking next to him.
"I heard from the hunting team that traveling at night is dangerous — they say beasts often attack people."
Yue Feiyan tugged lightly on the rope slung over her shoulder. Since she wasn't carrying anything heavy, the rope rubbed uncomfortably against her skin.
Wei Geng, walking behind them, twitched his lips at her words.
With two fierce beasts clearing the path ahead, what danger could there possibly be?
"It really is dangerous to travel at night," Luciel said seriously. "You'd better not do it again in the future."
He spoke deliberately — he didn't want the girl to think that venturing out at night was safe just because of today's circumstances.
