Chapter 200 - 7.30
Jiang Jiamian frowned slightly and focused his mind once more, trying to sense the power within him. He felt it growing steadily, spreading through his body until it became obvious and immense.
He stepped out of bed quietly and made his way out of the Golden Palace. At the high entrance, he paused, overlooking the vast expanse of the Demon Domain. Lifting his gaze to the sky, he noticed the sunlight, still present, but dimmed slightly, as if dulled by the very nature of the Demon Realm.
Should he leave?
While Lou Yan still slept... was he really going to leave the Golden Palace just to find Fang Qi and force him to stay away from Lou Yan?
But...
Jiang Jiamian turned his head with a calm, indifferent expression. His gaze lingered on the dark Golden Palace behind him. He drew a few deep breaths of the cool air outside the palace doors before slowly turning back.
Just as he had when he first stepped out, he moved lightly through the vast main hall, circling around to the chambers.
He had just walked to the bed and was about to bend over to take off his boots and lie down in bed for a while when he saw Lou Yan, still asleep, unconsciously reaching toward the spot where he had been lying.
Then, as if startled by the emptiness, Lou Yan’s eyes snapped open. He sat up quickly, disoriented for a breath or two, until he saw him.
When he saw Jiang Jiamian standing there, a quiet sigh slipped from his lips. His expression softened with visible relief, "You were gone..." He paused, then asked gently, "Where did you go?"
For a moment, he thought Jiang Jiamian had escaped and run away.
