Ouyang Xueqing's breathing slowed. Her throat constricted painfully. How could she tell him that she would be gone soon? She wouldn't accompany him anymore in the near future. She would leave him alone. Thus, she wanted to compensate him by getting him the dragon core.
At least, if he's healthy, she could leave without worry.
Alas, looking at his gentle eyes, thousands of words inside her heart remained unsaid and she could only buried it deeper down.
She lowered her head and nodded weakly. "En…"
"Okay then." He chuckled. "Let's go and find the dragon."
She let herself be guided into the cave. They jumped through the blocks of snow and arrived into the dark cave. Instantly, Ouyang Xueqing could feel the difference in air. It felt heavy, oppressive and powerful, almost knocking the breath out of her.
