The sudden embrace left Zhong Yao momentarily at a loss.
She only found the man before her vaguely familiar, yet could not recall where she had seen him.
Zhong Yao had never actually called Tang Xian by name, merely roused him from his slumber. But in his dreams, that voice was so familiar to Tang Xian that it transformed into different words altogether.
Quickly, however, Zhong Yao understood who the individual before her truly was.
Tang Xian's voice carried a note of joy:
"Father left many writings within the Sea God's heart chamber, saying that you had ventured to the ruins of Eden. Later, Bai Shuang also passed along the message you entrusted to her."
"I've been praying all this time, praying that everything is as Father said. Hoping that you were still alive, hoping the seven-day rule didn't take your life."
"I don't know if this is reality or a dream, but being able to see you—even if just in a dream—is a blessing."
