Drip! Drip!... Drip!
This was the amplified sound of water droplets dripping from the beautiful blue crystal stalactites on the roof of the cave.
Light sounds that people normally don't hear were echoing in this empty cave accompanying Ji Yao who was leaning against the cold cave wall.
This place was bone-chilling cold but Ji Yao felt nothing despite having spent the entire night in this place. He had no idea if Qilin Hao would even show up today especially after bleeding from her mouth.
To be honest, they didn't have much of a relationship but he still couldn't help worrying about her. Each time he came here she would silently accompany him soothing his chaotic mind. Granted, it would have been nice if they spoke but she still tried to be there for him.
This cave alone was a testament to that although this also got him wondering why she left them for Prince Rui and was now in a stone-cold palace that looked like it never saw the light of day.
