At the victory banquet in Mysterious Tower, the fragrance of wine mingled with joyful laughter and chatter. Lin Xiu and the others sat in a circle, recounting the thrilling moments of their battles and occasionally bursting into waves of laughter. Just then, the tower doors slowly opened, and a graceful figure walked in against the light. Her posture was light, and her steps carried a sense of agility and free-spiritedness.
The girl had a waterfall of long golden hair that caught the sunlight, radiating a charming luster. Her eyes were like a clear, bright azure lake, and beneath her high nose bridge was a slightly upturned mouth carrying a playful smile. She wore lightweight leather armor that outlined her exquisite figure, and tucked at her waist was an exquisite short blade whose edge gleamed with a cold light, as if speaking of its owner's extraordinary nature.
The girl walked straight toward Lin Xiu, sat down beside him, and looked at him with eyes full of admiration. "Lin Xiu, I've long heard of your heroic deeds. Seeing you today, you truly live up to your reputation." Lin Xiu was slightly startled, a blush rising to his cheeks as he awkwardly scratched his head. "You flatter me. It's the result of everyone's hard work."
