”Originally, I had brought it, but, but you suddenly called me, and then, my hand shook and...” The young attendant squatted in the restroom. Although separated from the shopkeeper by a door, he still felt a shiver down his spine.

Before he finished speaking, the shopkeeper outside the door was already trembling with rage and shouted in grief and anger, ”You, you, you’re going to drive me mad!”

The young attendant hurriedly wanted to explain, but before he could open his mouth, he heard a ”click” followed by the sound of footsteps gradually receding outside the door.

At this moment, the young attendant’s face in the restroom was already a bit pale, because of that ”click”... Tentatively pushing the door in front of him, his already pale face gradually turned somewhat ghastly...

When the shopkeeper returned to the small shop with an angry face, he was surprised to find that the couple had reappeared in the same spot. Upon seeing him, they directly said, ”Boss, we want to check out!”

The shopkeeper immediately beamed with joy, nodding repeatedly, ”Alright, alright! Let me calculate for you.”

The excitement of a brief loss and gain made him completely skip the necessary procedures like checking if the things in the room were intact, or if the furniture and wall facilities were damaged!

However, this was precisely in line with the pair’s wishes, as Melinda finally understood the feeling Xiao Tian had mentioned about being watched. Recalling it now still made her hair stand on end!

It was an inexplicable, unnerving feeling, as if standing stark naked in front of the other party?!

Thinking back with lingering fear, Melinda realized that was with the effect of the invisibility from the Jade Pendant. Without it, how intense might that have been?

Xiao Tian also grew serious after what happened, because the prying feeling was dozens of times stronger than before, forcing him to be on full alert, taking careful steps!

They surely didn’t know, Satan’s supernatural ability grew stronger the closer he was. The last time he used it from miles away, compared to using it nearby now, it was naturally incomparable!

This was also thanks to Xiao Tian’s extraordinary sensitivity as a master, much stronger than ordinary people’s. For an average person, just sensing that feeling would be uncertain, let alone avoiding it in advance!

Ultimately, thanks to Shen Jingchan and others for giving him the invisibility treasure. If Satan’s prying was the spear, then the Invisibility Jade Pendant was indeed the shield.

However, after several ineffective attacks by the spear, it finally gave up, this round could be safely described as a complete victory for the shield!

At the same time, Satan slumped over the table in front, his tousled hair soaked with sweat, his forehead veins bulging, even his captivating eyes turned blood-red.

”How is this possible? How is this possible?” Satan mumbled continuously to himself, followed by asking and answering his own question, ”This is impossible, this is impossible!”

This was the first time in years Satan lost track of his target, such frustration and mental strain made him feel almost deranged.

Generally speaking, when he targeted someone, they never escaped, even if they completely changed faces, or went through gender transformation, they couldn’t escape his lock!

Because Satan’s tracking relied on a unique aura, simple appearance changes couldn’t interfere!

Yet this time, it completely overhauled his worldview!

But more questions arose, like why he could lock onto the target the first time, but not the second time at all, as if Xiao Tian vanished from this world.

Even if something unfortunate happened to Xiao Tian, he couldn’t be completely gone, right? He could even lock onto Wang Tianpei days after his death, yet how long has it been since last locking onto Xiao Tian?

Summing up, Satan deeply contemplated, ultimately reaching an unimaginable conclusion—unless Xiao Tian was already dead!

Unexpectedly, Satan quickly countered this conclusion himself. Hence, how Xiao Tian escaped his lock became extremely intriguing...

In the blink of an eye, it was noon. Since this morning the couple had checked out, the shopkeeper, after ensuring nothing was damaged in the guest rooms, happily stood at the counter doing calculations.

Suddenly, he furrowed his brow, feeling something was amiss, as if something important had been overlooked, yet couldn’t pinpoint what it was.

”Boss, three taels of peanuts, a pound of beef, half a pint of wine!” A burly man walked in, calling out loudly while seating himself in a corner.

The shopkeeper immediately brushed aside his thoughts, responding with a smiling face, ”Alright, Xiaoshengzi, three taels of peanuts...” but he couldn’t finish the sentence, as he found the source of his unease.

The shopkeeper hurriedly ran to the back courtyard, and nervously unlatched the restroom door, ”Xiao, Xiaoshengzi?” Yet there was no response.

Fearing delay, the shopkeeper forcefully swung open the restroom door, instantly frightened out of his wits.

He saw the attendant’s face turning black as he leaned against the wall, seemingly on the verge of death.

”Xiaoshengzi, are, are you alright?” The shopkeeper moved closer to him in worry, failing to notice that the usually stench-ridden dry toilet was not stinking at all now.

”I, I... cough, cough!” The young attendant’s words were fragmented, struggling to complete a single sentence.

The shopkeeper, being so close as the young attendant spoke, nearly fainted from the overwhelming stench wafting over him!

...

Half an hour later, the burly man walked out of the small shop, swearing, while the shopkeeper forced a smile, then swiftly closed the shop door, hanging a ”closed” sign outside.

——

Xiao Tian and Melinda unscrupulously followed behind the group, learning through their conversations that the Five Elements Crystal was located in the depths of Kunlun Mountain.

The group’s pace did not disappoint Xiao Tian, roughly estimating they would arrive within two days.

Meanwhile, Satan couldn’t stay idle anymore. After all, having taken someone’s money, he couldn’t shirk his duty.

In Wang Bin’s anxious wait, Satan finally announced his departure, which was part of the latter’s ploy to buy time. Whether or not he found anything, at least they took action first!

As for Xiao Tian’s whereabouts, Satan had no better ideas at the moment, only able to take it step by step!
