Morning.
Sunlight streamed into a room at Spirit Pagoda Headquarters, falling over the two figures lying on the bed.
Nan Fusheng opened his eyes and looked tenderly at Xu Xiaoyan, who was already sound asleep. She was only a Control System Soul Master, and it had been her first time. It was only natural that her body was somewhat frail.
Not to mention that some special boosts last night had significantly increased Nan Fusheng's output. It was only expected that Xu Xiaoyan would be unable to take it.
"Next, it's time to return to Skysea City. That's my real base of operations. I'll leave Spirit Pagoda Headquarters here to Qiangu Qingfeng for now. And the infiltration of the Federation can't slow down either!"
After what happened last night, Nan Fusheng suddenly felt as though he had matured considerably. He was a man with a family now.
At the same time, by Sea God Lake at Shrek Academy, mist lingered over the rippling emerald waters.
Na'er had awakened early in the morning and, after carefully slipping away from Fors, had stood here for a long time. Her shoulders had long since been dampened by dew, yet she had no intention of brushing it away.
Her silver hair swayed in the morning breeze as she gazed into the distant mist, like an elf.
The lake's reflection shone in her large silver eyes, while a faint smile remained on her lips. It was impossible to say she had no regrets, but she and Gu Yue were one after all.
Na'er's fate had been decided from the moment she was separated. But it did not matter. At least before leaving, she had made her feelings known. Fors had just been a little too rough last night, leaving her chest still feeling somewhat strange.
