Li Xian destroyed the "Water Gold Lair," exchanging heads for merit money, earning one tael of merit silver and three hundred merit coins.
The boxes of gold and jewels obtained were brought back to Cyan Ox Residence. Last night, Nangong Liuli kept solitary vigil in her empty chamber, feeling quite lonely. She was often annoyed at Li Xian's mischief, always finding ways to tease her, yet in truth, without anyone to vex her, she felt a sense of unease and melancholy.
Since moving into Cyan Ox Residence, she had never been apart from Li Xian. This short separation for half a day made her realize how hard it was to part. Worrying all night, she paced around at times, practiced her sword skills at others, going without sleep the entire night.
