Deep in the night.

In Lin Xun’s room, A'bi was crouching on the ground, emptying bottle after bottle of wine. Tears were streaming down her face constantly.

She had been the same ever since Lin Xun told her about Hu Tong’s death. It was as though she had lost her soul. 

Lin Xun was quietly sitting on the other side with complex emotions swirling in his heart. 

Hu Tong had died. 

His corpse was found on the battlefield, and it was already mutilated when they discovered it. His eyes, nose, heart…all parts of his body had been taken away as spoils. 

Lin Xun couldn’t believe his eyes when he found Hu Tong’s body. 

A top figure of the Cyclic Derivation Stage, a veteran who had fought seven years on the Blood Kill Battlefield had died such a tragic death...

Lin Xun reminisced about the time he and Hu Tong drank together a few days ago and seemed to hear his hearty chuckle in his ears again. 

In the end, A'bi passed out drunk on the ground, mumbling incoherently. Tears were still rolling down her cheeks...
