The feast ended late into the night.
Three shadows emerged from the Imperial Palace. They were Ren Yupei, An Zhengnan and Ouyang Xueqing between the two of them. It was their usual formation, as if even in a simple walk, they still subconsciously took on a protective stance toward her.
There weren't any talks between them, but it wasn't awkward at all. Ouyang Xueqing relished on the cold air as she took in a deep breath.
The sky here was a bit different than the other side. The Beast Mainland was darker and murkier, unlike the clear sky that she saw from Mo Yujian's manor. Ouyang Xueqing remembered once when she couldn't sleep, Mo Yujian instantly put down his work and came to coax her. He really treated her like a baby who threw tantrums when her wants weren't granted, throwing tantrums when she wasn't accompanied, throwing tantrums when he wasn't by her side.
And in some instances, Ouyang Xueqing really let herself go and let him spoil her as he wanted.
