Huo Yunjiao leaned lazily against the headboard, arms embracing Qin Ruan, gently patting her back to coax her back to sleep.
Just then, the lights in the room suddenly went out.
The room plunged into darkness.
Rapid footsteps came from outside the door.
"Thud thud—"
A soft knocking sound arose.
Huo Zhi's voice came from outside the door, "Master, the power is out."
Huo Yunjiao responded calmly, "I know."
Lying in his embrace, the uneasy Qin Ruan frowned and muttered, "It's so noisy."
Huo Yunjiao rhythmically patted her back, soothing her softly, "Good, no one will disturb you now, go back to sleep."
Qin Ruan murmured tiredly and fell back asleep.
Unfortunately, this night was destined to be a restless one for everyone.
Huo Zhi stood guard outside, intense arguments coming from downstairs, all from guests staying at Longjun Manor.
"Why did the power go out?"
"What's going on here?"
"When will the power be restored? Your conditions here are really poor!"
