In the endless wasteland of scorched stones, smoke billowed and rose like a dragon towards the horizon.
Sun Zhe slowly opened his eyes and looked towards the distant, gray sky, sighing silently.
Even though he clearly understood that the Little Dragon Girl indeed needed to walk her own path and shouldn't stay by his side forever, his heart was still reluctant.
After spending so much time together, he had already regarded the Little Dragon Girl as family, and developed a strong sense of dependence.
Now, faced with her sudden departure, he found it really difficult to adjust.
"Honestly, I can't offer Sister Long any practical help; I often trouble her instead... Now that she's met the Lady, and has a chance to explore a bigger world, that's a good thing."
"I shouldn't hold her back."
"Alas, as the saying goes, there's no feast that doesn't end."
"This parting now is just for the reunion in the future."
