Stars and moon shifted, the morning glow filled the sky.
At the edge of the sea cliff, Lu Ran, who was still half-asleep, opened his bleary eyes. He sat up, raising a hand to shield his face from the light.
Through the gaps between his fingers, he saw a crimson sun slowly rising at the distant horizon where sea met sky.
It was truly majestic.
"Awake?" A gentle female voice came from beside him.
"Hmm?" Lu Ran turned his head, only to see a pair of slender legs.
He kept tilting his head upward until he finally saw the bright and beautiful face of the woman.
There was no icy killing intent, only a faint smile.
It was so comforting.
"When did you arrive?" Lu Ran rubbed his eyes, his speech still a bit muddled from having just woken up.
He dared to sleep at the edge of the sea cliff for two reasons: this was his territory, after all.
Second, he had the Dawn Blade and Fiery Phoenix Patterned Gourd by his side.
