Chapter 2662
A perfectly good night had been wasted on a trip through the Silent Forest.
Zheng Qing felt a little drained.
He could have gone to bask in the moonlight beneath the Cat Fruit Tree, or trained the three Great Sprites at Qingqiu Mansion. But perhaps the night had not been all that terrible after all.
Whether it was the verse the Wuteya Tribe elder had given him before parting or the Meteor Showers streaking across the night sky, both made Zheng Qing feel a little closer to the raven.
But only a little.
Like a traveler walking through fog, surrounded by a vast whiteness and unable to tell east from west, he had taken a step forward, yet the fog had not cleared, and everything around him remained hazy.
Perhaps because Yin energy churned on the night of Qingming Festival, or perhaps because of those Meteor Showers, Zheng Qing slept restlessly that night, though he did not have any nightmares.
When he woke in the morning, the Nightmare Dolls beside his pillow lay neatly arranged, not a single head having fallen off.
Out of habit, he reached a hand beyond the bed curtains. After waiting for quite a while without receiving a hot towel, he was about to call out when he suddenly remembered that his little sprites were now living at Qingqiu Mansion. His mood immediately darkened.
It was easy to go from frugality to luxury, but hard to go from luxury back to frugality.
Even after several days, he still had not fully adjusted to life without the little sprites.
But it took only one morning for the suddenly intense pace of study to grind away every trace of that gloom.
