"Go to sleep, Lili."
As the man whispered, the faint, reassuring scent of cedarwood slowly enveloped Jiang Xinli.
The scent grew stronger, like a warm, broad embrace, holding her tighter and tighter.
She breathed in the fragrance and snuggled deeper into Sheng Tianze's arms. The furrow in her brow gradually smoothed out, and she fell back into a deep sleep.
「The next day.」
When Jiang Xinli woke up, Sheng Tianze was still fast asleep with his eyes closed.
She secretly checked on the Dodder Flower inside her. Just like yesterday, there was no progress.
Her spiritual power was also still F-level. She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Gazing at his exquisitely carved, noble, and handsome face, she couldn't resist reaching out a finger to gently trace the high bridge of his nose.
The man's breathing was steady; he didn't move at all.
Jiang Xinli figured he was probably exhausted from the previous day.
