While Han Sen was still thinking, he heard a woman laugh. He wasn't sure from which direction it came.
”Have humans come here, as well? Or was that just another spirit?” Han Sen looked around him but failed to see anyone.
The land below was devoid of anyone and anything, creatures included. The fruit they had sought was nearly matured, and most of the creatures and spirits that vied for one were already up on the island waiting for their chance.
”Moment, did you hear a woman laugh?” Han Sen asked, looking at her.
Moment Queen shook her head and said, ”What woman's laughter?”
”Did I mishear that, then?” Han Sen wondered, confused. Just as he was ready to forget about it, he heard the laughter once more. It was so clear this time, that he knew he had not misheard it.
”Are you really telling me you didn't hear that?” Han Sen looked at Moment Queen and asked again.
Moment Queen merely frowned and looked around, not seeing anything out of place.
”Little Silver, did you hear that?” Han Sen asked the silver fox, who was resting on his shoulder. It looked at Han Sen with a face that suggested it had not heard a thing.
”That's weird. I heard a woman's laugh, I am absolutely positive.” With a puzzled expression, Han Sen perked up his ears and resolved to pay attention and sniff out the source of the laughter, if it ever sounded again.
A little while later, while Han Sen was climbing the vine, more of that bell-like laughter chimed. Moment Queen and the silver fox still didn't hear a thing.
Han Sen used his dongxuan aura to sense what was around him, but it was to no avail. He couldn't sense any creatures sneaking about.
And this was how it was, all the way up. He would hear the laughter, do his best to locate where it came from, fail, and proceed on up the vine.
”This is getting really weird now.” Han Sen, despite his best efforts, could not uncover the source of this laughter. Onwards he went.
The Empty Island was far bigger than Han Sen imagined it would be. It was like a small kingdom perched above the clouds. Following the vines, they were led up to the island. When there, they saw a number of barren mountains in the distance, which were devoid of all life.
”Let me return to the Sea of Soul, in case I unwittingly draw the attention and possible ire of the Devil-Blood King. Venture there alone and do not draw any unnecessary attention to yourself. If he does not notice your presence, we may very well have a chance of securing the fruit.” It was obvious that Moment Queen believed Han Sen had no chance of competing with the Devil-Blood King.
”Okay.” Han Sen knew he wasn't powerful enough. His compatriots were too fewer; even fewer if you did not count the lazy fairy. It was indeed best to keep a low profile.
Han Sen returned Moment Queen to the Sea of Soul, and then he ventured on towards the center of the island. The Empty Vine ought to have been there.
He walked for ten miles before hearing a familiar voice crying for help. Han Sen was taken by surprise, as he recognized the voice as belonging to a human. It most certainly couldn't have been a spirit.
”Oh, divine masters above, I beseech thee to deliver me aid!” The voice was one of pity, and Han Sen couldn't shake the feeling he had heard that voice many times before.
”Isn't that Wang Yuhang's voice? Why in the world is he here? That should be impossible.” Han Sen, with a head full of questions, felt his face morph.
This was where super creatures roamed in abundance. If Wang Yuhang had continued to accompany Han Sen, since the time they parted ways, God knew what might have transpired. Bad luck tended to follow him like a terrible smell. It was highly likely Han Sen would have been killed by now, as a result of it.
