When Venus barely showed its head at the horizon, Shen Qiang woke up. Immediately, he saw the dark department's Xiu Ju beside him, looking affectionately at him. Although her face wasn't particularly beautiful, her smile was very sweet. Shen Qiang smiled and tightened his embrace around her, saying, "Why not sleep a little longer?"
"I have to go back." The dark department's Xiu Ju rested her head on Shen Qiang's shoulder, sighed softly, and said, "I have never been this anxious. If the slaughter tonight ends with you unable to stabilize Gong Ziyi, then Heshenghe will face utter destruction."
Smelling the fragrance in her hair, Shen Qiang smiled and said, "I can handle it. Besides, even if Gong Ziyi isn't stabilized, we can apply pressure in other ways to make him sit back in his chair."
"Weisheng Zhimei is a rational beauty. She likes you, loves you deeply, but she will never sacrifice Baihua Palace's disciples to clean up your mess."
