Everything that had happened in the illusion had felt far too real.
But Ning Xiang in the illusion had already reached the Nascent Soul Realm. Surely those could not be events that would happen in the future?
No, absolutely not. He would never treat Ning Xiang that way.
Lu Qingchen recalled Ning Xiang's unspoken thoughts that day. How had she known she would die by the Canglang Sword?
Hm? Why is Iceberg Lu still hanging around?
Ning Xiang's gaze fell on Lu Qingchen's hand.
Holding it so tightly-are you afraid someone will steal your beloved sword? Looks like Iceberg Lu has room in his heart only for his sword. Go spend the rest of your life with it, then!
Lu Qingchen instinctively put away the Canglang Sword, afraid Azure Waves might hurt Ning Xiang.

Am I too much of a third wheel here? I'd better hurry outside and give the two of them some space.
Lu Qingchen did not understand what "third wheel" meant, but that did not stop him from understanding Ning Xiang's words.

Then Su Lang saw Lu Qingchen emerge from Ning Xiang's room.
Lu Qingchen's gaze paused. Then he walked over to Ning Xiang and raised a hand to brush her cheek.
Ning Xiang had no time to dodge and looked at him in surprise.
"You had a strand of Dream-Eating Tapir fur on your face."
Ning Xiang: "..."
*But don't you
