On this particular evening, Duan Mingyuan finished his last task in Siyang City—repairing the broken nose bridge of an old hunter.
Having been trampled on by his own disciple like a rampaging zombie was not a flattering story, so in the end, the incident was simply reported as a work injury.
After saying goodbye to Zheng Liu and Xing, Duan Mingyuan did not stay in Siyang City. He booked a flight back to Yunlong City overnight, and Jiuyue insisted on coming to the airport to pick him up, regardless of the late hour.
The plane landed at three in the morning when the airport was deserted, with only a few people scattered around waiting to pick up arrivals.
In the waiting area, Duan Mingyuan searched until he found Jiuyue in a corner, curled up on a bench with her knees hugged to her chest, her fiery red tail serving as a makeshift pillow in her arms, her cheek resting upon it.
