It was already evening when the Fox Lord made his way back to his consort's side. He hadn't seen her the whole day and ached to gaze upon her countenance again.
By the time Bai Qingyue returned to the sect, Li Meirong had already been cleaned up and tucked in bed. The twins, Xiao An Hua and Xiao An Fei, kept vigil at Li Meirong's bedside until the Sovereign Lord's arrival.
The twins had naturally sensed his arrival before he could even step through the door and swiftly sent him a telepathic message to wait outside.
They silently transported themselves out of the cabin and kneeled in front of their lord.
"Sire, the lady is resting in bed. She should wake up shortly."
With one questioning brow raised, Bai Qingyue's long, slanted eyes narrowed as he inquired, "Is that why you told me to wait outside?"
What does it matter if his wife was sleeping or not? If anything, it seemed easier to gain some honest answers out of her when she was dreaming.
