News of someone challenging the Alchemists from both the eastern and western continents spread swiftly, and everyone wanted to know who this Green Emperor Xiahou was. But after that day, no one saw him again.
Dugu Qianye had been in her room, engrossed in researching alchemy and cultivating Spiritual Energy, and all her meals were brought to her room by Zi Xiao. Sometimes, when she was too absorbed in her work, Zi Xiao would take the food away again.
These days continued until the announcement from the Alchemist Guild two days before the competition.
Hao Pengyou, who had slept soundly for a month, finally got up, saying he wanted to accompany her for reconnaissance. This time, he let Dugu Qianye witness once more the extent of his talent for sleep, and she expressed deep admiration.
When Dugu Qianye stepped outside, she passed by the room next to hers, and suddenly the door opened. Subconsciously, she glanced over and saw a black silhouette and a pair of eyes—defiant yet lonely.
