Looking at Dugu Qianye's sleeping face, he lay down beside her and pulled her into his embrace. Gently, he left a kiss on her forehead and said, "Little temptress!"
Dugu Qianye's body moved slightly, half-awake and half-asleep, and she found the most comfortable position in his arms before falling back into a deep sleep.
When Dugu Qianye woke up, it was already the next day. Before she even opened her eyes, she smelled the faint scent of pine and couldn't help but smile.
"You're awake?" Zi Xiao's voice came from above her.
Dugu Qianye looked up to see Zi Xiao gazing down at her, nodded, and asked, "What time is it now?"
"It's already morning on the second day. Your mentor has already sent someone to say that once you're ready, you can leave," Zi Xiao said. "How do you feel now?"
