A Gift

The morning after her meeting with Fengli Cai came much sooner than Hou Jingshu would have liked. Her mind ached as she sat up in bed. It felt like her brain was covered in a thick fog. Lying beside her without a care in the world, Yōuměi muttered incomprehensibly under her breath.

“I couldn’t eat another bite… master… okay… maybe one more… zzz…”

Hou Jingshu almost smiled at the giant panther. What she wouldn’t give to be so carefree.

Climbing out of bed, Hou Jingshu went through some basic stretches. She would have loved to do some training, but today would be a busy day, so she forewent that and simply woke up Yōuměi before heading to the dining hall. That was another thing she didn’t do often. She preferred dining at her residence. However, she needed to speak with Zhe Fēnglì and the others.
