Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed

Chapter 681 Scales muttered something under his breath, barely audible.

Roseanne glanced at the waning light, "We've got some time left. Why don't we try our luck finding some exotic plants?"

Who wouldn't want to ace this?

Mamie chirped excitedly, "Yes, please! Honestly, whether it's a perfect score or not, I don't mind. I just wanna have fun with you guys!"

After a brief rest, the trio set off again.

But luck wasn't on their side this time.
