Return

As she prepared to unsheathe her sword, Ling Xiao paused. Scenes of how he stopped her from falling off the cliff, saving her from the hydra and three horned shadow leopards flashed through her eyes, causing her arm to weaken.

[Changed your mind?] 

Having seen those words, her heart skipped a bit. Ling Xiao had no idea Li Chen saw her reaction, so he chose to act like he didn't know.

His goal was to give her time to think it through, because the moment she unsheathed her sword, there was no going back.

Looking at the stormy, icy sea stretching as far as their eyes could see, Li Chen sat cross legged and brought out his painting materials.

Bam—!

Ling Xiao's wooden box hit the solid stone ground, and she leaned toward him, stretching her neck to see what he was doing.

"Em, you can have the Astra Bone. I don't want it anymore."

[Oh? You finally realized you had no chance right from the start?]
