At the top of the Nightmare Castle, Ludie stood on the rooftop, feeling somewhat emotional.
Like Zhou Kai and Bai Yuetong, Ludie was also looking at the Fourth Ring, now a pile of ruins.
Like Zhou Kai, this was the place where he grew up, the hometown he had protected.
His gaze shifted, and a slender, red-clad figure appeared behind him.
Ludie turned to face her. After a slight movement of his fingers, Qiu Guling had already stepped forward and embraced him.
Though it was a passionate kiss, all Ludie felt was an icy coldness. It was the chill emanating from Qiu Guling's body—she had, after all, turned into an Exotic Species, an icy Specter Species!
He held Qiu Guling, a pang of sorrow in his heart, and Qiu Guling, too, clung tightly to Ludie.
"It's been many years," Qiu Guling said suddenly.
"Yes, in the blink of an eye, we've all grown up," he replied.
