After stealing two cars locally, Lei Yin and the group of eight quietly left Atlanta under the cover of night.“Master, where are we heading now?”“To Boston. The coastline there is long, and I refuse to believe we can’t find a boat to leave the U.S. Originally, I planned to wait until things calmed down, but that’s no longer an option.

As Lei Yin passed the kitchen, he saw Naoko intently cooking, and an indescribable feeling welled up within him. In his eyes, a woman wearing an apron was at her most beautiful. Though this sentiment might carry a hint of male chauvinism, for someone like him—a thousand-year-old spirit who had lived since the Song Dynasty—certain ingrained ideas were hard to change. Entering the kitchen, Lei Yin wrapped his arms around her slender waist and softly asked in her ear, "Are…
