He checked the time. Seeing it was almost time to leave, he forced himself to rally his spirits and rode his sword toward the Heaven-Inquiry River.

His appearance, as if he were recovering from a serious illness, startled Tang Pei and the others. After all, he had been full of life and energy right after fighting a Foundation Establishment Monster Beast.

"Well, well, is our great True Disciple Xiao worn out from a night of passion? You're still young, you should practice some restraint..." Li Lifang said, as crass as ever.
