When Sang Luo awoke, she was lying on the great bed in her chambers in the Holy Palace. She stared at the ceiling, intricately carved with beautiful patterns, her mind a blank for a full half-minute before she came to her senses and looked down at her right hand. It was empty… completely empty!
'What happened?'
'Could it be that she couldn't bring the Life Soul Bone over from the other timeline?'
The sound of footsteps approached the door, shifting from a steady to a hurried pace.
"Luoluo! You're awake!"
The instant Sang Luo heard that gentle, familiar voice, it felt as though a lifetime had passed. Her eyes immediately welled up with tears as she looked up in a daze.
The man strode over and pulled her into a tight embrace. Soft, warm kisses fell in succession on her forehead, eyes, the tip of her nose, and her cheeks, covering every single spot as if he were afraid this was all a dream.
