Xiao Xiao's face broke into a smile, too. Senior Disciple Sister had left Shrek, so it seemed her decision had been the right one after all.
The two stepped through the gates of the Body Sect. The moment they entered, their auras changed somewhat.
The worry they'd carried before was gone.
So was the unease they'd felt in the past.
Lin Xiao had reached the mountaintop. Snow Empress was sleeping quietly in his arms.
