Chapter 71

The sun was already high. Ding Wei had awoken. His constitution was excellent; even after a short sleep, he felt full of vigor and vitality. Soon, he would have to leave the palace and stay away from the lands of the Xia Dynasty for a time. He propped himself up with his hands, eased his body backward, and rested his back against the headboard. His mind began to replay his recent journey like a film... Right now, what he felt most reluctant to leave behind were the women in his life. Each of them held an incredibly important place in his heart. They brought him joy, happiness, delight, and surprises. But he had to admit, what they brought him was also the most fundamental of human needs. He was no saint, and as a mortal man, he had his own pursuits, ideals, and dreams.
