Finally, in one memory after another, the eyes that once gazed at her so tenderly began to change slowly into something unthinkable, until in the end, they became icy cold.
...
The day, at last, was dawning.
However, deep within the 18th floor underground dungeon, it was impossible to distinguish day from night. Furthermore, the time was impossible to tell.
The dungeon was silent and cold.
After what felt like an eternity, Chi Xingye slowly returned to consciousness.
Her mind blank, it took quite a while for her to remember that she had been imprisoned in the royal dungeon.
She felt too weak to move.
At that moment, she suddenly felt a chilling gaze on her. It was direct and unrelenting.
It made her heart shiver involuntarily.
