Kapitel 773: Long Story

*Growl*

It came from somewhere very close by but even if it was right next to him, Hao Xuan's inhuman reaction times gave him more than enough time to react appropriately.

"Shh, quiet down!" he hushed even her thoughts into silence. Her ears perked up as she listened intently but couldn't hear anything even after a few seconds.

"What is it?" she whispered into his ear.

"The growl from just a few seconds ago! It was almost right next to us."

"....What growl? I didn't hear anything..."

Hao Xuan paused midstride for a second before increasing his speed even more.

"Nevermind then. I guess it was just me..."

Even Hao Xuan himself had forgotten that he was able to hear the voices and other sounds from beyond the veil. He had hoped it would be fixed by now but that was too much to ask it seemed.
