Chapter 712 Leaving the deer mountain range (2)

Her smile surprisingly wasn't that bad for someone who didn't like to show much emotion on her face. She was already a golden beauty even when wearing her stoic demeanor, and now smiling, though it was a small one elevated that beauty even further.

Yang Qing nodded toward her in gratitude for showing up but also for the help she had provided while he was still within the range. He knew throughout their stay here, despite her not showing herself a lot, she had been monitoring and watching over them, especially when they were outside, which was why she had been alarmed when she couldn't sense Yang Qing the time the mysterious middle-aged man appeared.

Yang Qing looked around and noticed none of the people present seemed to have realized she was present except him, and when he turned to her with a doubtful look, he saw her shake her head with an apologetic look.

Yang Qing nodded coupled with an understanding smile. Ye Xun had isolated her presence from the rest with her domain space, and Yang Qing would not have noticed her had she not specifically revealed herself to him. As for why she'd rather hide herself, Yang Qing had a few guesses one of which she was being considerate.

While he, Luo Meili, Su Jinjing, and Administrator Mo Guang would be comfortable in the presence of a domain expert, the same could not be said about the rest. They would likely act reserved around her, defeating the whole purpose of the party.

The others echoed Yang Qing's sentiments as they complemented Shi Hai on his skills, even Gu Xing wasn't reserved with her compliments.

The atmosphere grew harmonious and the serenity river melody skylark after eating a few lotus roots was pumped full of energy as she flew around the alcove chirping joyous melodies that elevated the mood by renewing and refreshing them. The crystal-winged moth joined it, and a few moments later Meifeng joined them adding notes of her own that blended perfectly with the tune of the serenity river melody skylark.

The diamond beetle was the only one that didn't move as it remained perched on Yang Qing's shoulders eating off his plate. Yang Qing added more spicy dishes when he noticed it seemed to be its favorite.

The mood had already turned full throttle into that of a party, as Yang Qing shamelessly joined despite numerous protests.

It was in the midst of singing off-key that Ye Xun told him,

"Seems like you have another guest.."
