The night was heavy. Su Yu washed away the bloody aura clinging to him. Tenderly cared for by the gentle Zhen'Er, he held her soft, fragrant body and fell into a deep sleep.
His journey along the golden waterway over the past few days had seemed easy, but it was actually fraught with danger.
As a Flesh Refining Realm cultivator, Su Yu had maneuvered between a group of Muscle Forging Realm experts. In the end, he had even killed masters from both sides to become the ultimate victor.
Now that he was back home, the feeling of relaxation and comfort allowed his mind to unwind, and he drifted into a peaceful, pleasant dream.
The next day, the morning sun rose, and golden sunlight filled the courtyard.
"SCREEE—"
A shriek that could pierce metal and shatter stone broke the morning's tranquility. Qingyuan unfurled its huge, metallic-sheened wings, stirring up a gale as it landed steadily by the lotus pond.
"SPLASH!"
