Duan Yuntian only felt a sense of relaxation that he hadn't experienced in a long time. There was always a feeling of suffocation and pain in his chest, as if a heavy stone was pressing on him every day. Now that feeling was completely gone, and his body felt exceedingly light. The unease in his heart had now settled completely.
"I feel a lot lighter all over. It's been a long time since I've felt this breathability. Girl Qing, I really owe you one!" Duan Yuntian was very excited, nothing like his imposing manner at the Muyun Society. He was now completely like a kind elderly man.
