Ran Yan also got out of the carriage.
Standing about ten feet away from Ran Yan, Sang Chen stopped in his tracks, looking at her across the distance. His eyes showed struggle, as he seemed to want to approach her yet also appeared somewhat afraid.
In the end, he clenched his teeth and moved towards Ran Yan.
Sang Chen had seen Ran Yan touch corpses and thought she was brave, but hearing her say she desired to "Receiving Corpse Energy" made him shiver with fear. Daring to do something and wanting to do it were completely different things.
Ran Yan watched him making small steps towards her and called out with her clear and delicate voice, sounding weak, "Wife."
So close, yet their hearts were as far apart as if separated by the ends of the earth.
Sang Chen felt that he was mustering all his courage to move forward step by step, but it felt like the distance between them never decreased. In the end, he was still afraid of her.
