Dusk fell.
The storefront was bathed in a layer of bright yellow light.
Han Meng rushed into the shop just before closing time.
"Shopkeeper Bai, do you have any Evil Exorcism Pills left?"
Bai Mo's hands, which were fiddling with an abacus, paused. He nodded at Han Meng in greeting.
Then, he turned and retrieved three bottles of pills from a corner.
"This is all I have left."
Han Meng scratched his head. "It's not quite enough."
"We're heading into the mountains the day after tomorrow. Could you perhaps start up your furnace and make some more for us, Shopkeeper Bai?"
Bai Mo glanced sideways at Han Meng, a guess already forming in his mind.
"How many people are going into the mountains?"
"We're taking the lead, coordinating with several other Demon Hunting Teams to merge our efforts. There will be a lot of us..."
With the weather returning to normal, Lanshan was ambitiously setting his plans in motion.
But there was nothing Bai Mo could do about it.
