After circulating the Emperor's Extreme Body Refining Technique for another three cycles, Zhao Ci finally felt his strength and spirit fully restored.
He then stopped cultivating and quickly washed up.
He glanced out the window. Day had fully broken.
He stretched and pushed the door open, stepping outside.
'So much happened last night,' he thought. 'Qingyang County must be in an uproar. I'd like to see how this whole farce plays out.'
"Huh?"
Zhao Ci glanced down and found a figure curled up at his doorway.
'She looks a little familiar.'
He crouched down and poked Kan Luotang's shoulder. "Miss Luotang?"
"Mmm~"
Kan Luotang whimpered, then startled awake as if from a nightmare. Her eyes flew open and she cried out anxiously, "Your Highness! Your Highness!"
Her eyes were red and swollen, and she looked completely devastated.
Zhao Ci grinned. "I'm right here!"
Kan Luotang was speechless.
