Huang Xiaolong and Marquis Fei Hou had left long ago when a cold gust swept past; Chen Li was shocked awake and hurried away. As she passed by Liu Mu's corpse, she stumbled over it and fell, landing face-first into the dirt. Tears mixed with the soil on her face, creating a grimy mess. Sobbing, Chen Li scrambled to her feet and fled, heading towards the Outer Kingdom City, just like Huang Xiaolong and Marquis Fei Hou.
Two days later.
Huang Xiaolong and Marquis Fei Hou stood before the gates of a massive city. Unable to contain his excitement, Marquis Fei Hou thought, "Seven years have passed, finally back!"
The gates of Outer Kingdom City seemed unchanged, just as they had been before.
"Let's go in," Huang Xiaolong said after a moment.
Marquis Fei Hou suppressed his excitement and solemnly nodded in agreement.
The two entered the city.
