At night, Du You slowly emerged, standing proudly in front of him under the moonlight, Xi Qianxue.
Du You walked forward and gently embraced her from behind. Xi Qianxue felt Du You's approach, stiffening momentarily before leaning softly against him.
"What are you doing here, in the middle of the night?" Du You asked softly.
"I just couldn't sleep. Although I've seen battles of this scale before, it's the first time I'm the one initiating them. Such a powerful force crumbling before me, toppled by my own armies, it does give me pause."
Although the army wasn't hers, it belonged to Du You, and wasn't Du You's the same as hers? After what they went through that night, their relationship had completely changed—they were family now.
Du You nodded slightly, "Yes, the first time I led an army against another powerful force, I felt the same. But you'll get used to it after a few times." Du You said this with ease, but at that time, he was no weakling.
