Black Bead

Dongfang Yu picked up the Vast Sea Universe Cover and held it in his hand, studying it quietly.

He could not help but sigh. "It really is extraordinary. His Highness the Crown Prince is quite generous."

"I am a man of my word. If I promised something, naturally I will do it." Xue Qinghe took another teacup and began drinking tea again.

Dongfang Yu withdrew his gaze and took out a bottle of red wine from his Soul Tool.

Come to think of it, the two of them had not had a drink together in quite some time.

Clang!

After clinking their glasses, the two drained their wine and smiled at each other.

"Brother Yu, what are your plans next?"

"I don't know. I need to return to Spirit Hall first," Dongfang Yu answered honestly.

Xue Qinghe patted his shoulder. "That is good too. You might just receive a surprise when you go back this time."

"Is that so? Then I'll borrow Brother Xue's good wishes." Dongfang Yu raised his glass.

Afterward, the two discussed some further details before each going off to rest.

Lying on the bed,

Dongfang Yu stared at the ceiling, quietly lost in thought.

He liked thinking in peace, without anyone disturbing him.

After a long while, he still could not fall asleep, so he got up and went to the window to look at the moon.

Tonight's moon was not full. Its curved shape, paired with its clear radiance,

reminded him of Xie Yue's martial soul. It had been some time since he had seen the others, and he rather missed them.

"What are you thinking about again?" Angewomon appeared behind him and asked. She only showed herself when no one else was around, quietly keeping him company. It seemed to have become a habit.
