Chapter 416 - 207 Righteousness Hall_1
After finishing the last sip of noodle soup, Long Dangdang let out a sigh and relaxed on the sofa.
Ling Menglu cleared up the dishes and when she came back to the living room, she was surprised to find that Long Dangdang was already asleep, his steady breathing audible from the other end.
With a slightly dazed expression in her eyes and a tender smile on her face, she looked at Long Dangdang’s handsome yet youthful face, it struck her that her cousin was not even sixteen yet, nearly two years younger than her.
He had truly worked hard. During the second phase of the intensive training, he had performed exceptionally well, especially when he faced the Evil Eye Tyrant – he almost held on for a full hundred seconds. But the more he endured, the greater the pressure he faced. Moreover, having to constantly fulfill his duties as the team leader and considering everyone’s feelings proved to be a difficult task.
She fetched a blanket from the room and gently covered his body, without waking him up for cultivation. Although cultivation might be beneficial for body adjustment, she thought it would be more important to let his nerves relax properly. A taut string needs to be loosened sometimes too.
For some reason, as she watched him asleep, Ling Menglu felt a touch of envy. She cuddled up on the sofa next to him, just staring at his sleeping face.
Her cousin had really long eyelashes, which quivered subtly as he slept. Oh, the quivering seemed to be in rhythm with his breath. Um...
Before she knew it, her consciousness had slipped away and she had fallen into a deep sleep.
When Ling Menglu woke up, she felt her body was exceptionally warm and a sense of comfort permeated her, invigorating her to the core.
