Chapter 842 – Choice
Meanwhile, as Lux predicted, Yue was watching him.
Not openly.
Not obviously.
But her golden eyes lingered longer than necessary as his back disappeared down the corridor, wings folding, shoulders slightly tense despite the casual way he walked. There was something… controlled about him. Not just his power. Not just his posture.
His restraint.
Yue stood still for a moment, the borrowed jacket resting against her skin. It was warm, faintly, like it still remembered his body. The scent clung to it too. Not overwhelming. Not artificial.
Just him.
A mix of iron, faint smoke, something dark and expensive… and underneath it, something warmer. Something alive.
Battlefield still lingered there, yes.
But not in a way that repulsed her.
It grounded it.
'This demon…' she thought quietly, fingers brushing the edge of the sleeve. 'Is weird.'
He didn't demand.
Didn't claim.
Didn't even ask for reward when she offered.
That alone made him abnormal.
