Liang Hui stood under the heavy snow, chuckled softly, and chose no longer to argue.
His gaze fixed on the woman, he posed the purpose of his visit.
"After the divine lineage, what is a Heavenly Human?"
"Heavenly Human?"
The woman fell silent, her eyes filled with haze as if recalling the past.
A moment later.
The woman reached out her hand, watching the snowflakes that fell through her palm to the earth, without immediately responding.
Instead, she spoke of something else.
"I have always been filled with regret and sorrow that during His Majesty's conquest, I should have been by his side, rather than letting him face everything alone."
"The outcome wouldn't have changed."
"I know, but going and not going are different to me."
The woman murmured, her eyes glistening with a trace of crystal clarity.
It was the companionship from insignificance to the peak, supporting each other as companions, confidants, and lovers.
