Upon entering the bridge of the Blade Empress, Bai Zhongqi was still fastening the buttons on his overcoat. He was wearing a white Chancellor's uniform, which he hadn't put on since that night at Cliff Palace.
Ling turned her head to look at him, her eyes seemingly veiling tears.
Yet Xu Lanzhou was calmer than expected, saluting Bai Zhongqi with respect.
Bai Zhongqi walked over with a smile and, surprisingly, embraced her. His strong hands wrapped around Xu Lanzhou's waist, turning her complexion crimson as this female commander, who had just escaped from the world of the mind, was suddenly caught in his arms.
Even more outrageous was this particularly tangled man who, turning his face to the side, actually kissed her tender cheek.
He then said, "Today we're going to reclaim what we are owed."
Xu Lanzhou felt a fervency burning inside her, her beautiful eyes softened completely as she nodded gently at Bai Zhongqi's face, which was only inches away.
