She woke up with a start and found her pillow soaked with tears.
She walked to Zhang Shaozhong's cave and heard sounds of cultivation coming from inside.
It's so late, and he's still practicing.
Ling Qingxue gently pushed the door open and went in. She saw Zhang Shaozhong sitting on a futon, surrounded by a chilling aura. His white hair was particularly dazzling in the moonlight.
She quietly walked over and hugged him from behind.
Zhang Shaozhong's body stiffened; his cultivation had been interrupted.
