Princess Lan Yue did not sleep well all night.
Anyone who spent half the day eavesdropping wouldn't feel very good.
The impulse stirred within her was hard to suppress.
It was especially… persistent. She waited until nightfall, but no one emerged from the study. She had no choice but to leave, and even as she went, she could still hear intense sounds of impact.
'As expected of an Inner Master,' she could only think in awe. 'Truly formidable.'
Back in her room, she tossed and turned all night, unable to fall asleep.
On one hand, she was worried about her own situation; the uncertainty always left her feeling uneasy. On the other hand, there was the turmoil from her eavesdropping. A buried desire had been suddenly unlocked, and it was difficult to close off or suppress.
Even nurturing the seeds of vengeance with all her hatred wasn't enough to completely extinguish it.
When she got up, she had heavy bags under her eyes, along with very noticeable dark circles.
