"Let's go." Bai Aoli wiped her tears and stood up, "There's nothing left to reminisce about."
"Your mood adjusts quickly."
"I'm an old woman now, I don't have the strength for long bouts of weeping." Bai Aoli put on her round-framed glasses, "The Constant Dragon Body experiment went fairly smoothly. I have proven that artificial totems are feasible. That young Queen will be pleased upon receiving this news; she can finally get her wish."
"And you? Are you happy?" the champion said, "Actually, I just thought of a better plan. How about I let you go on a trip with her? I'll tell Gaius that you were of no use anymore and I dealt with it with a sword stroke, easy enough."
Bai Aoli slowly shook her head.
"Just like you said. Once some flames are ignited, they can never be extinguished again."
She left the bar, leaving everything behind, not looking back.
