With the Demon Princess no longer responding to Chen Mo's questions, they fell into a silent standoff.
The Demon Princess was waiting for Chen Mo's Holy Heart Spell to expire, while he was waiting for the Underworld's Fountain to close.
Time ticked by, second by painstaking second.
During this time, Chen Mo repeatedly tried to get her to speak, but to no avail.
However, Chen Mo naturally wouldn't reveal his own abilities either.
The Holy Heart Spell was the only thing the Demon Princess seemed interested in. If he spoke of it willingly, she would undoubtedly go back on her word and refuse to reveal anything else.
He wasn't about to let himself be shortchanged.
Since she refused to speak further, he resorted to incessant mumbling.
Annoyed, the Demon Princess pressed her small ears flat, blocking out the sound and looking rather adorable in her frustration.
Chen Mo chuckled but didn't press further.
