In the early hours of the morning, the sky began to lighten with a fish-belly white hue.
Du Yu dragged his weary body back to Prince Du's Mansion. Unusually, he took out a key to open his own front door.
The Golden Leaf hanging at the shoe rack thoughtfully extended a leaf, helping Du Yu take off his shoes and put on slippers.
"Thank you," Du Yu said softly, handing the Demon Soldier Bow to the Golden Leaf and stepping into the house.
"You're back." In the distance, a girl's voice came.
Du Yu was startled and turned his head just in time to see Li Mengnan standing at the guest room door.
She was wearing a white nightgown, rubbing her sleepy eyes, looking dazed and confused.
"You're home," Du Yu said softly, "When did you get back? How's Bai Lu and Yiren's condition?"
Since Du Yu moved the Firethorn Tree into the Sea Realm, Li Mengnan had taken the Nameless Tree Fruit to Su Dajia's Demon Pet Paradise.
