After some time passed—perhaps very long, perhaps very short—Chen Changsheng awoke from his daze and fled far away.
The little Black Dragon watched his back vanish into the darkness, her face revealing a tinge of fiendishness, especially those vertical pupils of hers. The emotions within them were abnormally cold.
The restriction Wang Zhice had left behind on the stone wall made it impossible for her to recover her true strength, but if she was willing, she could still easily snatch Chen Changsheng and eat him in one bite, or else how could she be the so-called 'taboo' of the Imperial Palace that no one dared to mention?
But she did not do it. The anger in her pupils gradually dissipated, leaving only loneliness, chagrin, and obstinacy.
She clearly understood that Chen Changsheng had escaped not because he was afraid of being eaten, but because he wanted to escape from something else.
