While Abner Lane and Owen Bertram were arguing, the Emperor was also lying on his dragon bed, thinking with wide-open eyes. The Flying Carriage Palace had landed in a safe and beautiful forest near Looking Cloud Cliff. Outside, the moon was bright, and the insects of summer sang merrily.
Master Lane's judgment was not wrong. The Emperor was fearful and cautious, preferring an easy life to taking risks. During the day, at the moment Abner Lane arrived, the Emperor's first reaction was, "Master Lane, quickly escort me back to the capital!" But after returning to the Summit Metropolitan Office, he gradually calmed down and repeatedly recalled his experiences. Beneath his fear, there was a different kind of feeling, one that far exceeded the sum of all his previous hunting activities combined.
This feeling was very complex. If forced to summarize it, it would probably be... exhilarating!
