Chapter 624: Chapter 624: You’ll Regret Not Following Me
 

Turns out, White Cat only known Huo Shuyu for a few months and indeed, her character does change quite often.

Still, it’s never been this drastic.

White Cat speculated that the woman may probably be the offspring of a powerful organization — possibly being pursued or perhaps concealing other secrets.

In any case, he did not know about her exact identity.

However!

White Cat pointed out a peculiar trait to Jiang Xiaobai.

He’d seen Huo Shuyu perched atop the roof on a couple of full moon nights during their time of acquaintance.

Basking in the moonlight!

At those times, Huo Shuyu would emit a mysterious aura, not very strong, but upon sensing it, one would feel an overwhelming palpitation!

Too horrifying!

It’s like facing a cold, sharp sword.

The next second, you could be dead in Huo Shuyu’s hands.

And after each event like this, Huo Shuyu’s power increased.

More on some occasions, less on others, but this was something White Cat and the redhead could all perceive.

Being members of the Changfeng Dart Bureau, they sometimes carried out errands together.

Huo Shuyu involved herself in fights quite often, and it was evident that her power was increasing rapidly!

Not only that, Huo Shuyu seemed to have an obsession with combat.

Whenever danger arose, Huo Shuyu was always the first to fight.

She was like a woman who indulged in battle and slaughter, a female madman!

After giving some thought to Huo Shuyu’s shift of personality and hearing White Cat’s story, Jiang Xiaobai reached a conclusion.

That woman could be genuinely mad!

And quite severely so!

Who knows, she might even have split personality disorder!

However, Jiang Xiaobai didn’t really care about her personality, what caught his attention was the extent of her power boost!

In his understanding, nobody could do that, not even those with bloodline powers!

Especially, because Huo Shuyu seemed to change almost every full-moon night!

How on earth, was one supposed to increase their power by basking in the moonlight while others spent countless hours in cultivation?

Was she a werewolf?

Or Wolf extinction?

Unless, her bloodline was indeed unique enough to boost her power by moonlight basking.

But that kind of exaggeration in total power seems unlikely. If true, her power level would be unimaginably towering after all those years!

Thus, even having a special bloodline wouldn’t answer this.

The only probable answer was that Huo Shuyu was not as straightforward as she seemed.

“Whatever, we’ll see when the time comes.”

“Still, I’ve been here for a month with no gains. I can probably hang around for another three months, at most.”

“Sigh, gotta find those benefits fast.”

Jiang Xiaobai shook his head in resignation. While he was indeed curious about Huo Shuyu, it was pure curiosity, nothing more.

He was not one to be governed by his lower body.

Having Ao Yan was enough for him. While other women might be beautiful, there was no necessity for him to engage.

Jiang Xiaobai shook his head clear of these thoughts and concentrated on following Huo Shuyu on their journey.

He probably understood that things might not go smoothly on their way. The people from the Sky Clearing Tower would catch up sooner or later.

That gave rise to a dangerous thought in Jiang Xiaobai. Could the Sky Clearing Tower still possess other crystals?

The thought was intoxicating, like Pandora’s box, once opened, it couldn’t be shut!

The likelihood kept increasing in Jiang Xiaobai’s mind. After observing White Cat and others, he finally decided to look for an opportunity to depart.

He knew Huo Shuyu was no simple woman. Her assured promise to bring everyone to the force she mentioned must mean she’s confident of dealing with the people from the Sky Clearing Tower.

Jiang Xiaobai’s initial intention to follow them was simply to learn more about the world. There was no need to waste more time.

Their paths had crossed by chance, it was best to part ways amicably.

Perhaps they would meet again someday. Who knows?

After some thought, Jiang Xiaobai took a deep breath, planning to discuss this with White Cat.

Just then, Huo Shuyu, who had been walking ahead, seemed to sense something. She abruptly turned and looked straight at Jiang Xiaobai.

It felt as if her gaze was trying to see right through him.

She then walked over, took hold of Jiang Xiaobai’s arm, and pulled him toward the back of the group.

“What do you think you’re doing? It’s indecent for genders to exchange physical contact carelessly!”

“Please have some self-respect!”

Jiang Xiaobai protested.

A visible twitch appeared at the corner of Huo Shuyu’s eye.

“Are you planning to leave?”

“Are you planning to depart on your own?”

Huo Shuyu asked calmly.

At her comment, Jiang Xiaobai was taken aback. Could she be a ghost or a human? How on earth did she figure out his intentions?

That’s impossible!

“You can’t leave. You have to follow me.”

Huo Shuyu said mysteriously.

“Why should I?”

“It’s a secret, but I guarantee that if you don’t follow me, you’ll regret it.”

Shi!

Jiang Xiaobai involuntarily gasped in admiration. This woman had some nerve.

What? Did she take a liking to him?

Was she planning to keep him by her side as a boyfriend or something?

Admittedly, this woman was stunning, but…

“You have to give me a convincing reason for this,” Jiang Xiaobai retorted, raising an eyebrow.

“I will tell you when we reach our destination, but not now.”

“But if you want to go, it’s fine, I guarantee you’ll regret it. And when you want to find me again, it won’t be possible.”

Huo Shuyu’s words left Jiang Xiaobai feeling a little strange.

Oh my goodness, what was this woman intending to do?

If she was really trying to lure him in, her method was surprisingly novel.

Inexplicably, Jiang Xiaobai decided to agree.

He was interested to see what kind of game Huo Shuyu was playing.

Seeing Jiang Xiaobai nod in approval, Huo Shuyu finally heaved a sigh of relief and even took several deep breaths in front of him.

“I’m glad you agreed. Rest assured, you won’t be disappointed.”

“And, you will thank me.”

Huo Shuyu spoke mysteriously, like a mischievously playful young maid.

Faced with this, Jiang Xiaobai was close to losing his mind!

Woman, can you please act more normally!

Returning to his senses, Jiang Xiaobai didn’t want to leave anymore. As per Huo Shuyu, they were reachable to the forces within three days.

That wouldn’t waste so much time.

However, the redhead was quite curious and asked, “What were you two talking about just now? It seemed rather secretive?”

“I have no clue what she was talking about, but it seems she might have taken a liking to me.”

“But redhead, I must tell you that I’m a gentleman, and there’s no way I can agree to this.”

At his words, the redhead just stood there, stunned into immobility, even forgetting to continue walking!

Goodness! He really had the guts to say this out loud!

Huo Shuyu, walking in the front also heard this conversation, a trace of uncontrollable twitch appeared secretly at the corner of her mouth.

She really felt the urge to teach him a lesson. But thinking about what was coming next made her excited.

So, she decided to drop the matter.

As expected, the experts from Sky Clearing Tower, about whom White Cat and others were worried about, appeared at their front, blocking their path.

“Kill them!”
