"Sigh…"
With an exhausted sigh, Kiernan returned back to the rented attic apartment and took off his shoes and outdoor clothes.
"You're back…"
Aoi said from the bed, the nightstand lamp casting a warm glow around her, and she looked quite sleepy.
She hadn't slept just yet as she waited for Kiernan to return, as she had been nervous that the girls of the Lovely Flower Sect might find him outside.
"Why aren't you sleeping yet?"
Kiernan asked and quickly changed his clothes before making his way to the bed.
"I was waiting for you…"
She said, and as Kiernan laid down beside her, she covered him with the blanket and snuggled close to him.
"Well, I have good news…"
Kiernan said, put his arm under Aoi's head, and then continued.
"We don't need to worry about the Lovely Flower Sect anymore. They've been dealt with, and we don't have to be hiding any longer."
"What, really?"
Aoi asked in shock.
