Luoxian Residence, in the bedroom.
Inside the gauzy bed canopy, Jiang Ruyi, who had been sleeping soundly, suddenly opened her eyes.
Her heart was pounding wildly, and she quickly turned her head to look.
By the dim glow of the small nightlight, she saw a shadowy figure moving behind the thin veil.
Jiang Ruyi, though a fourth-rank in the Sea Realm, still felt like a rootless drift in the face of the Great Power of the Heavenly Realm. Her emotions could only sway with the other person's moods.
Slowly, a hand parted the canopy, and their eyes met.
The usually calm and composed Jiang Ruyi suddenly panicked, feeling the stranger's aura unfamiliar.
She had walked with him through storms, shared victories and defeats, fought and fled together.
But she had never seen Lu Ran in such a state.
Like a silent, trapped beast.
Oppressively terrifying.
Coupled with his celestial might, it made Jiang Ruyi feel suffocated.
