Chapter 1422. Joy and Sorrow 2
Amid the bleak night breeze came her calm voice, “Why are you here?”“I was passing by, so I came to look, but the door was closed. I thought you weren’t back yet,” Qi Lei calmly replied.
Dongfang Liuyun picked up her pace and walked up too. She took out her keys from the pocket of her coat to open the door. “I made a trip to Xinjiang and stayed for quite a few days.”
“It should be quite cold there at this time of the year.” Qi Lei followed after her. As he watched her, he felt as if she had grown thinner, and she looked slightly pale. Her starry eyes could not hide the hint of fatigue.
“It’s the season of Great Snow over there right now. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been back so soon,” she said and she pushed open the door, then kept the keys in her pocket. She set the black backpack on her shoulders onto the counter, then turned to walk out and to the trunk of the car. She opened it and took a piece of black luggage out. It looked very heavy and she seemed to carry it laboriously.
When Qi Lei saw that, he walked up to her to take it.
Dongfang Liuyun did not reject his help. “It’s quite heavy. Be careful.”
“I went to the underground city of the Holy Land. The terrains there were rather complicated, and it would’ve been quite hard for me to have gone through it alone. I managed to force my way through the guardian with a full body of armor. Plus, there were holy beasts guarding the area,” Qi Lei picked up the luggage quite easily as he said to Dongfang Liuyun.
“You got the map to the Holy Land? You went in when you haven’t even finished putting together the scattered pieces of the map. Your courage sure deserves praise.” Dongfang Liuyun smiled calmly. “I haven’t had time to go online these days. The new server upgrade should be pretty good. I’ll check it out in another two days. I have to rest first.”
“You really work quite hard,” Qi Lei shot her a side look and said with a lowered voice.
