Chapter 871: Leading the Team, Setting Off
Tang San's ethereal figure floated in front of her and raised his hand to rub her head. Although he was just a phantom, Mei Gongzi was surprised to find that she could actually feel his touch.
"Don't be silly, how could I ever leave you alone? Don't worry, I'll definitely be there for the matchmaking tournament. No one will take my wife from me. But we have to keep the other Emperors from suspecting anything, so I can't tell you which identity I'll use. You'll find out then. Just trust that I'll always be there to protect you."
"That's more like it." Mei Gongzi huffed but took a step forward and nestled into his embrace.
"I'm at a loss," Tang San said with a wry smile.
"Why are you at a loss?" Mei Gongzi asked curiously.
"You can feel the touch, but I can't. It's only my divine consciousness," Tang San said helplessly.
"What do you mean, only? It's literally heart-to-heart, how much closer can we get? You should be satisfied. It's your own fault for not bringing your body back—serves you right."
The two stayed close like that for a while. For Mei Gongzi, this was a rare moment of relaxation during a long period of intense cultivation. A gentle smile appeared on her face, and she was filled with contentment.
Tang San asked about the situation of the Skytree Realm, and after confirming that both Kali City and the Skytree Realm were in good order, he felt relieved.
