Xuan slowly opened his eyes, his right hand completely numb.
But once he saw that Hanbi was there, resting on his chest, he let out a sigh.

Soon enough, he spotted that the crystals were bright again, which meant that it was daytime.
And what better way to celebrate the day than by hearing distant bells ringing every second?
Do they think we ran away? Shit... The amount of misunderstandings this is going to cause... Xuan facepalmed and tapped Hanbi on the forehead a couple of times, then gently tugged at her ear.

"No time for chatting. I think your Serene Brothel Valley and my Grand Jade Temple are looking for us. Ought to go, don't you think?" Xuan cut her off and stood up, approaching the hole that the two had come through.
