Just then, suddenly —
They heard footsteps ahead of them.
Taking Feng Xun to hide behind a rock nearby, Feng Wu focused and listened.
“Catnine, what took you so long?” A cold female voice rang out.
“Gosh, don’t get me started. I was almost killed.” Catnine waved at her.
“Killed? Are you alright?”
Catnine gloated. “Of course I am. You know me; I have nine lives. Teehee, that young lord of the Junwu Empire is an idiot. He really thinks I’m dead. I fooled him just like that. Hahaha —”
“Did you offend a young lord of the Junwu Empire?”
“Yes, I did. Big deal. He’s so dumb that he deserves it. Anyway, he thinks I’m dead. Haha —”
Feng Xun was so angry that he wanted to jump out and punch him!
An idiot? Dumb? How dare he use such words?! It was too much for Feng Xun to bear, and he was furious.
Feng Wu immediately stopped Feng Xun and shook her head. She then mouthed, “Think about the big picture… They still have Chaoge.”
The thought of Chaoge immediately made Feng Xun stop.
However, he still clenched his fists in anger, and blue veins popped on the back of his hands!
“Alright. Since you’ve faked your death once, don’t use this face anymore. You may ruin the Master’s plan if they see you again.”
Catnine said, “Don’t you worry. Just leave it to me. By the way, where’s Master?”
Feng Wu’s stomach lurched.
Their Master had to be a very useful piece of information!
“Master has their own thing to do, and I don’t know when they’ll show up. But Master left instructions that you should stay with Princess Sefiro for the time being and follow her orders.”
“Alright.” Catnine nodded.
“And there’s that hostage. Look after her when you can. Don’t let her die.”
“Alright.” Catnine nodded. “Where is she now?”
“She’s right —”
The hostage?!
Both Feng Wu’s and Feng Xun’s stomachs lurched, and their pupils contracted.
That hostage had to be Chaoge! It had to be!
They were about to reveal it… Say it now!
Clenching her fists, Feng Wu stared at Catnine.
“She’s right —”
The woman changed the subject. “Someone will take you there when you go to Sefiro. It’s not easy to get into that place.”
“I see.” Catnine nodded at the woman. “I’m off, then.”
They nodded at each other and went their separate ways.
Feng Xun turned to Feng Wu. “Xiao Wu, what do we do now?”
Feng Wu looked at him. “You follow that woman. Since she could assign tasks to Catnine, she must be a more senior member in their organization.”
As for Catnine, Feng Wu was worried that Feng Xun would lose control and kill Catnine.
Feng Xun smiled wryly. “I promise you that I won’t do anything reckless!”
Feng Wu then ran after Catnine, while Feng Xun followed the teenage girl wearing a red cape.
Catnine had no idea that Feng Wu was following him, and he was humming a tune as he walked.
When they reached a secluded corner, Catnine suddenly disappeared.
Feng Wu frowned a little.
This wasn’t supposed to happen. She had been holding her breath; there was no way that Catnine could have detected her. So, where did he go?
Feng Wu’s gaze swept over the smooth cave wall. Nothing seemed out of place at first glance, but she realized that something was off when she studied it again.
