Chapter 355 - 110 Empire News
Early in the morning, Lu Hong awoke from meditation, leading the remaining five hundred-plus people from Cursed Village to the small town they had settled in yesterday.
The originally quiet town suddenly bustled with activity. Upon hearing the noise outside, Xu Fubin got up to check and, in his excitement, leaped out of the window. If not for the timely catch by the village chief outside the inn, he might have landed face-first.
"Vil... Village Chief." Xu Fubin’s words faltered in his excitement.
The village chief placed his hands on Xu Fubin’s shoulders, laughing heartily, "My boy, you’ve grown... grown up indeed!"
Lu Hong did not intrude and walked into the inn. The counter’s owner was still nowhere to be seen. He then went upstairs into the room and saw Anna deeply immersed in meditation, completely shutting out the outside world. Lu Hong did not rashly disturb her. Anna must have felt inadequate in her strength due to recent events and thus engaged in deep meditation, wanting to improve her power as quickly as possible.
Quietly looking at Anna, Lu Hong let out a soft sigh. Standing in Anna’s place, he could imagine how tremendous the pressure on her was.
And it was this slight sound that awakened Anna from her meditation.
"You’re back!" Anna revealed a brilliant smile, then got up and threw herself into Lu Hong’s arms.
"Are you hungry?"
Anna thought for a moment and replied, "Hmm... not too bad."
