Demon Lord Zhurong stretched out a hand to pull Xu Hui to her feet, the two stood side by side in the small room. He was taller than her by a couple of inches, but not so much that she had to strain to look a him.
"Close your eyes."
The demon lord gave the command in a deep soft voice, hearing it made Xu Hui to feel somewhat self conscious of his presence which was almost too close for her liking. Reluctantly, the BaoXu disciple did as commanded, while Hei Zhurong changed positions to stay behind her, taking out a black sash out from the front part of his inner robe.
Xu Hui knew the exact moment that her eyes were covered by her captor, she could feel the smoothness of the fabric that served as a blindfold over her eyes. This greater another layer of darkness after her eyes was shut in obedience to "Prince Rong," who tied the ends of the blindfold.
Demon Lord Zhurong reached out a hand and held those of Xu Hui.
"It's time."
