Generally getting a 'no' from his Jie, Xu Rouguang was only left lying down on the bed next to Lai Mingjie. The demon king had kept him close again, soundly sleeping next to the general. In contrast to him, Xu Rouguang had his eyes wide open.
"You can't save me."
He didn't give a loud answer for this earlier, but the more he tried to sleep, the more he couldn't take it off of his head. A depressing, frustrated glint shone on his eyes as he stared at the ceiling. Everyone in the Imperial Army had looked up to him for being awfully powerful; however, he couldn't really use his strength to protect the most important person to him. The crippling anger crept from his heart again, forcing him to growl under his breath.
An arm flew around his eyes as he tried to sleep again. He was too angry not to let off some steam. His arm then flew back to his side as he rolled to his side, back facing Lai Mingjie. The general's eyes grew cold even if he ended up staring at his own hand.
