Chapter 484: Night Fell (2)

The darkness of the night had quietly fallen.

Shen Yanxiao sat in the room as she waited for her opportunity to arrive.

The Vermilion Bird obediently stayed with her, too, as he waited for his master to make a move.

Shen Yanxiao was about to take action when noises outside the window surprised her. Suddenly, Uncle Nine pushed the door open and stepped into the room.

Uncle Nine had a blank expression on his aged face. When he looked at the two children in the room, he said, "Something is happening out there, and I need to take care of it. Stay in the room, and do not step outside. The night is unsafe."

Shen Yanxiao nodded obediently.

Uncle Nine immediately left after that.

As he turned to leave, Shen Yanxiao could smell a faint blood scent off him.

Shen Yanxiao squinted. As soon as Uncle Nine was out of the door, she cracked open the door.

"Vermilion Bird, did you smell that?" Shen Yanxiao asked.
