Lěng Yè stood in the distance, watching with a complex gaze as Yě Chóngshàn and Huángfū Ránxiu embraced. Though he was reluctant to disturb this tender moment, he knew that the purpose of his journey had not yet been achieved. The crucial Human Emperor Pendant was still in Huángfū Ránxiu's hands; only by obtaining it could Lěng Yè truly complete his mission and bring this long journey to an end.
After a moment of silence, Huángfū Ránxiu finally raised her head from Yě Chóngshàn's arms, tear tracks still lingering at the corners of her eyes. She sniffed and wiped away her tears, only to catch sight of Lěng Yè not far away out of the corner of her eye. Her brows immediately furrowed, and a clear displeasure laced her tone: "Why are you still here?"
Lěng Yè rolled his eyes, his tone equally unfriendly: "What kind of talk is that? Give me the item first, and I'll leave immediately. Did you think I enjoy watching the two of you being all cozy here?"
