The Flying Serpent had a tough time waiting for her.
Gu Xijiu wanted it to stay outside the desert. However, it could not stop worrying about her. In fact, it had already tried to contact her not long after Gu Xijiu ventured into the desert, but the connection could never get through.
Fortunately, Gu Xijiu had warned it about the oddities of the desert. She had already suspected that there would be a barrier to hinder all means of communication with the outside world, so it would be normal that their calls would not go through.
Therefore, with the information it was given, it patiently waited.
The first day passed by. Then, another two days passed.
Gu Xijiu never sent any messages and did not show up. Hence, the Flying Serpent stood outside the desert like a statue, waiting for her return.
