Chapter 1123: Going to the Safe House

Ning was woken up in the middle of the night by someone. He saw the guards uniform on the man's clothes and yawned for a moment. "What is it?" he asked while looking around to figure out what he was doing.

'Oh right, I was waiting for the beast to fall asleep and fell asleep,' he remembered.

"The beast is asleep, please come to retrieve your sword," someone told him.

"Oh, great," Ning said as he stretched. "Finally."

He walked with the person over to the place where the beast was kept at. Even before getting close, he could hear the deep breaths of the beast. That thing was definitely sleeping.

'Try not to make any sound,' the guard told him.

'I won't,' Ning said as she slowly walked toward the beast. The door had stayed open for him, so he went into the room slowly and picked up his sword. 

Getting the sword wasn't the hardest part at all. What was harder was making sure the sword's scent didn't alert the beast as it left the room.
