Chapter 1043: Withdrawal (There's one more, frustrating, can't finish in one more chapter, climactic dialogue.)

——————————

The emperor had arrived, and it seemed like he had come straight after holding court, not even bothering to change his clothes.

Oh, so it must be his imperial robe then.

It was the first time for Shangwen Lingyun to see Lin Heng in his imperial robe, which was unlike the ones worn by other emperors, including that of Yue Taichu. Lin Heng's imperial robe was based in the color of ink, with dark golden threads sketching the fierce form of a nine-clawed black dragon. It was not so much regal as it was wildly ferocious, yet this wildly fierce imperial robe seemed to be suppressed by his very presence.

This man was too sinister, yet also too profound, with an abyss-like depth that subdued the wickedness of the black dragon. His eyebrows and eyes sketched a cold stillness that could suppress any turbulence.

The only exception was the person by his side.
