The beasts surrounding the woman instantly sensed the threat in Xu Jiaqi's gaze toward their master and bared their teeth in a defensive warning display.
In response, Xu Jiaqi's body emitted killing intent.
"I don't have the time to joke with you today, Huyao." Xu Jiaqi uttered the next moment in a cold voice.
Sensing her killing intent, the beasts began to howl and roar, their cries echoing with aggression.
Seeing this, the woman named Huyao sighed, "Stop it, you idiots. You know I won't be able to avenge you guys if you fight her and perish, right?"
"..."
The magical beasts immediately calmed down after hearing her words. Huyao continued a moment later, "To answer your question—no, there's no way to bring back someone who'd entered such a rift. Why are you asking? Did someone you know enter a rift? It's been a long time since I have heard of someone entering one of those."
However, Xu Jiaqi didn't respond to her inquires and was even walking away.
"Leaving already? What's the rush?"
"If you don't have any helpful insights, I have no reason to stay here any longer." Xu Jiaqi said.
Huyao showed a mysterious smile and said, "Actually, now that I think about it, there might be a way."
Xu Jiaqi instantly halted her movement and turned around to look at Huyao, who continued speaking, "If someone as powerful and as capable as you enters a rift, perhaps you might find a way to bring them back."
The atmosphere in the room suddenly changed drastically as an overwhelming pressure was exuded by Xu Jiaqi.
"I thought I said I didn't come here to joke around?" Xu Jiaqi stared daggers at Huyao.
"That's none of your business."
"You made it my business by coming to me for advice."
"Who said I was joking? Most of the people that went to explore the rift were run-of-the-mill Immortals. If someone like you were to explore the rift, there's a good chance you might make it back." Huyao explained with a brave smile.
"..."
Xu Jiaqi remained silent, her expression contemplative, almost as if she were seriously considering the possibility presented to her.
Huyao's eyes widened at this, and she said, "Don't tell me you're actually thinking about it. Now I am really interested in this individual you're trying to save."
"That's none of your business."
"You made it my business by coming to me for advice."
"You think you're giving me advice? You've only given me nonsense."
Huyao shrugged and said, "Then let me tell you this. Even if you were to enter the rift to rescue this individual, you'd need to find a rift to enter. A rift only remains open for a few moments before disappearing, so you'd need to find a new one, which is only possible by destroying Infinite Beast Spawns, which has a very low chance of spawning."
"Once an Infinite Beast Spawn is destroyed, you will need to wait at least a decade before you get another chance, and the last time a rift opened up was several thousand years ago."
"I have no intention of entering the rift, but thanks for nothing." Xu Jiaqi left shortly after.
"Never easy to please that woman…" Huyao shook her head with a smile.
Overwhelmed by emotion, Xi Meili's composure shattered, and she began to weep, releasing a torrent of tears she had restrained for more than a week. freёwebnovel.com
