Although spring had arrived and the weather was warming up, it was still cold in the dead of night.
Dantai Mo sat in his wheelchair, his eyes as dark and lustrous as black jade.
He wore a black cloak, his entire figure sinking into the thick darkness. His cool, pale skin resembled a pearl in the night, glowing with a soft white light.
Anyone else dressed in black and lurking in a corner would have looked like a bad sort-a thief up to no good.
Yet Dantai Mo remained regal. Even with his lips turning purple from the cold, he was still strikingly handsome.
[What did you talk about? Why did it take so long?]
The Black Tortoise System: [Xiaosi, you've hit the jackpot!!!!]
*[??]*
It must have swindled some more energy, to be showing off like this!
The Black Tortoise System: [Hehe, not only did I get energy, I can also make Fifth Miss turn over a new leaf and actively pursue you. Just you wait, boy!!]
*[...]*
[If you're done, let's go. I'm about to freeze solid!]
The Black Tortoise System was a habitual braggart, so Dantai Mo paid it no mind.
Ever since bonding with the Black Tortoise System, he had become increasingly unflappable.
Dantai Mo summoned his hidden guards to take him away.
Suddenly, a surge of energy flowed into his legs.
A warm, tingling sensation spread from his thighs all the way to the soles of his feet. Dantai Mo felt an unprecedented sense of comfort.
He stood up and climbed into the carriage on his own two legs.
[I'm standing!!]
