By the time they returned to Heaven Dou City, it was already late at night.
A gentle lamp still glowed on the ninth floor of the Soul Tool Divine Tower. That was Lin Chen's private chamber.
Gu Yuena stood before the window, her silver-and-gold hair stirring softly in the night breeze. She gazed at the dimly lit Heaven Dou City in the distance, seemingly lost in thought.
Ever since Lin Chen had returned from the Divine Realm, he had remained in the tower with her.
He leaned against the doorframe and watched her profile for a while. Moonlight streamed through the lattice window onto the side of her face, mingling with the beauty that had become even more radiant after she fused with the Dragon God's Power. It was a beauty beyond the mortal world.
Silver's chill and gold's nobility blended together, complemented by her mismatched silver and golden eyes. She seemed like a dragon maiden stepped out of an ancient myth.
Lin Chen suddenly felt an itch in his heart.
"Have you looked enough?" Gu Yuena asked without turning around, though a faint smile colored her voice.
Lin Chen coughed lightly and walked over. "How did you know I was looking at you?"
"The Dragon God's senses are sharper than you think." Gu Yuena turned around, her silver-and-gold hair tracing a streak of light with the motion.
She tilted her head slightly. "Besides, that look in your eyes is impossible to hide."
Lin Chen felt a little embarrassed at her words, but on second thought, he had known Gu Yuena for so long and had finally helped her reclaim her complete self. Now that she was so radiant and breathtaking, it was only natural for him to look at her a little longer.
So he simply stopped hiding it
