Chapter 307

"Have you noticed? These demons are increasing in number."

"How strange. Clearly no one is commanding them, yet they are gathering on their own."

"Let's slip away first. A hero doesn't suffer a loss in the moment!"

Jiang Xiaobai stood up and crept stealthily toward the distance.

But with his entirely snow-white appearance, in the dim Layered Rock Abyss, he stood out so conspicuously.

Especially when Jiang Xiaobai accidentally stepped on and crushed a pebble.

All the demons turned their heads in unison, their gazes locking onto Jiang Xiaobai.

Instantly, the thick killing intent made both Jiang Xiaobai and Apep stiffen all over.

"Run! Are you waiting to be an extra course?!"

Apep roared, her slender tail repeatedly slapping against Jiang Xiaobai's body.

Jiang Xiaobai also reacted quickly, his four limbs moving with all his might, sprinting toward the distance at an extremely fast speed.

"Roar!!!"

The demons, wreathed in black mist, immediately roared.

Red light flickered in their eyes, and the surging momentum around them grew increasingly dense.

Immediately, a dense swarm of demons surged toward the direction Jiang Xiaobai was running.

"Unlucky, unlucky, unlucky!!!!"

"Jiang Xiaobai rat, following you has truly brought me eight lifetimes of bloody bad luck!!!"

"Shut your stinking mouth! I am a Treasure-Eating Weasel, a snow-white Treasure-Eating Weasel!! Not some damn Jiang Xiaobai rat!!!!"

In the dim Layered Rock Abyss, the roars of Jiang Xiaobai and Apep echoed throughout the entire space.

Since Jiang Yan fell into slumber, someone has come every day to check Jiang Yan's physical condition.

Cloud Retainer and Lady Guizhong have also been continuously searching through various books, constantly seeking a method to wake Jiang Yan.

However, it seems none of it has been of any use.

To make Jiang Yan wake up, they tried shaking him vigorously, tried making the surroundings noisy; in short, they experimented with every possible method to wake someone up.

But Jiang Yan simply did not wake up.

If not for his continuous, even breathing, Lady Guizhong and Cloud Retainer and the others would truly have thought something had happened to Jiang Yan.

Little Ganyu has also recently started clocking off on time.

In the past, even when the clocking-off time arrived, she had to work overtime for at least two hours or more before leaving.

But now, as soon as the clocking-off time arrives, regardless of whether the matters in her hands are finished, Little Ganyu turns and heads outside.

Every day, Little Ganyu comes to Jueyun Karst, sits beside Jiang Yan, and keeps him company, talking to him.

Trying to wake Jiang Yan with her words.

Although Lady Guizhong and Cloud Retainer have both come to advise Little Ganyu, telling her she need not be so exhausted, running back and forth.

But Little Ganyu has persisted in doing so.

Sometimes, when she is truly a bit tired, Little Ganyu lies in Jiang Yan's embrace and sleeps for a while.

Then, after waking up again, she continues to talk to herself.

Day after day, year after year.

To preserve Little Ganyu's energy, Morax transferred most of the work to others, while he himself sat daily on the third floor of Yuehai Pavilion, taking over Jiang Yan's duties.

Just like that, five hundred years passed, and Jiang Yan still had not woken up.

Although Morax tried his best to conceal the news of Jiang Yan's slumber, this news was still exposed during the Qishenju Society gathering.

At first, Lei Dianying, Raiden Makoto, Barbatos, Greater Lord Rukkhadevata, and others had not yet realized Jiang Yan was asleep.

They were merely puzzled as to why Jiang Yan had not appeared at this gathering.

Morax made up a reason, saying Jiang Yan had gone out on business and likely wouldn't make it back in time.

But the perceptive Raiden Makoto and Greater Lord Rukkhadevata still sensed something was wrong.
