Cloud Ease Manor.
It was past midnight, and dawn had yet to break. Mo Hua released his Divine Consciousness and swept every corner of the room, yet found no further trace of the Yin wardens.
Not until daybreak did sunlight stream into the room, warm and gentle, steeped in fresh dew.
Even the faint Yin Qi from last night had completely dissipated.
Everything was as though nothing had ever happened, returning to the normal world.
Sensing that the Yin Qi had truly vanished completely, Mo Hua sighed inwardly, feeling somewhat wistful.
I wonder when Yin wardens will come to capture me again...
Mo Hua found it deeply regrettable. If a few more Yin wardens could suddenly come one day—preferably fiercer and more brutal ones—and take the initiative to hook his soul away, that would be wonderful.
He just did not know whether such a good thing would ever fall to him...
Mo Hua, who knew his luck had never been particularly good, was deeply worried about this.
What if the Yin wardens don't come looking for me?
Where am I supposed to find Yin wardens?
Just as Mo Hua was pondering this, a knock suddenly sounded at the door.
Mo Hua got out of bed and opened it. Standing outside was Zhu Muchen, with a somewhat babyish face.
"Senior Martial Brother, how did you rest last night?"
I ran into ghosts...
Mo Hua silently replied in his heart, but naturally could not say such a blunt truth aloud. Instead, he said, "Very well. Peacefully, and not lonely at all."
Zhu Muchen did not find anything amiss. Instead, he happily said, "That's good."
Then he invited Mo Hua, saying, "Senior Martial Brother, let's go have breakfast. I had the manor stewards specially make fruit soup and pastries with freshly picked fruits.
