Chapter 49: Mysterious Accessory

When they returned to the territory,

Most of the residents had already finished their day's work and entered the realm of dreams.

Snores filled the air.

Stretching lazily, Ji Chen intended to call for Willis when he noticed Alice sitting on the steps in front of the door. Her eyes were closed, and her little head drooped.

Could it be that Alice was waiting for him?

Perhaps upon hearing his footsteps, the little Siren slowly opened her eyes. When she saw him, her eyes sparkled like gemstones, instantly brightening up.

She got up and rushed over, hanging onto his body.

"My lord, you're finally back!"

"Yes." Ji Chen held her body and said gently, "Why didn't you sleep in the room? It's very cold outside."

The temperature difference on the island was significant. It could be scorching hot during the day, causing people to suffer from heatstroke, but at night, it turned bone-chilling, making one shiver with goosebumps.
