The night was like a hazy veil, gently draping itself over the land.
Chu He slowly removed the mask and baseball cap from his face, revealing his true features.
He then thrust his face toward Lai Yu Yao's, moving so fast she had no time to react.
The tips of their noses nearly touched, their every breath audible to the other.
The sudden move startled Lai Yu Yao.
Her heart seized, and her breathing grew slightly ragged.
It wasn't because the young man was so close that she felt shy.
Rather, it was seeing his face clearly that sent a tidal wave of shock through her.
She couldn't believe her eyes. It was Chu He!
The name echoed like thunder in her mind, representing a transcendent existence.
Although Lai Yu Yao's father was a major figure in the Lighthouse Empire,
possessing astonishing wealth and influence,
what did any of that matter in the face of Chu He?
The realm Chu He had reached far transcended the secular world.
