"Mm."
Heart.
Standing atop the city wall, Chen Fan looked down at the scene and gave a slight nod. He said nothing more, leaving the two of them some time together. He was going back to sleep.
He had barely slept all night.
He kept worrying that Qi Yue had died.
That had sent him running out to check every so often, nearly wearing his nerves to shreds.
Fortunately, though.
Things had turned out well.
This guy...
He was ruthless enough with himself.
"It's all over now."
Qi Yue rose and looked toward the city wall. Only after finding Chen Fan gone did he breathe a sigh of relief. He stroked Gongyang Yue's head and smiled. "My room is in the cave, but it holds important Mortal Domain secrets. Unauthorized people aren't allowed inside."
"I'll stay with you in the reception area next door tonight."
"Let me take a bath first."
"I'm all sticky."
"Okay."
Tears glimmered in Gongyang Yue's eyes as she smiled and released Qi Yue. "All that matters is that you're alive."
"You..."
Standing beside them, Gongyang Yiyue knitted his brows and asked in a low, hoarse voice, "You joined the Mortal Domain?"
"Yes."
Qi Yue nodded slightly. "Otherwise, I couldn't have achieved perfect body tempering."
His original plan had been to slowly temper his body to eighty percent, then use "Ten Thousand Swords Tempering the Heart" to reach perfection. But the Bamboo Slip the Domain Lord had given him to study had not only greatly increased his tolerance for the pain of sword qi piercing his body, it had also granted him numerous insights. Only then had he been able to reach perfect body tempering in one go.
He cared little for material possessions.
But he also knew that the Bamboo Slip was a supreme treasure.
