Chapter 60: Meeting Old man Xue

That night, Serpens fell into a restless sleep, the weight of recent events pressing down on his subconscious. The name Dimitis de'nom kept echoing in his ears like the relentless cry of an abandoned baby.

As he drifted off, he found himself in a strange, ethereal landscape. The world around him shimmered with an otherworldly glow, and a soft, almost haunting melody filled the air.

In the distance, he saw a figure approaching—an ethereal version of Xin, Old Xue's granddaughter whom he had healed months back.

His surprise was palpable as he pondered why she had come to meet him in his dream. He took a firm stance waiting for whatever advances she'll make whether positive or negative.

"Serpens," she called out, her voice echoing like a whisper in the wind.

"What do you want?" Serpens asked, his eyes glinting in bewilderment.

"Have you found the stone bearer?" Xin asked, taking Serpens by surprise.

"How do you know about the stone bearer? Who told you?" He asked, his curiosity piqued.
