Within the dreamscape—

"Hmph."

The Tai Xuan Emperor snorts coldly, and remarks—

"Looking forward to working with you again, my ass."

There's no way the Tai Xuan Emperor would give up on taking over Long Hua's body so easily.

"..."

Raising her right hand, a golden orb of light that is akin to a sun, manifests on top of the Tai Xuan Emperor's palm.

This is none other than the "Heart," however—

"...Tch."

Despite her attempts to push the "Heart" into her chest, the Tai Xuan Emperor feels an invisible force of energy repelling her hand away—making it impossible to conduct the fusion.

"Dao He Tian Xue, you and your disciple both... Dammit."

Raising her head with an expression of frustration on her face, the Tai Xuan Emperor grinds her teeth together, and tosses the "Heart" aside.

She has no idea how Dao He Tian Xue had managed to find out about the "Heart," but it is one of the items that can only be extracted by Long Hua through an exchange.

And naturally, this frustrates the Tai Xuan Emperor to no end.

"One of these days, I'll definitely stomp this surnamed * beneath my foot!"

.........

As time passes with nothing of note happening, Long Hua decides to take out his fishing, and see if he can catch anything in these dreary waters.

"..."

Holding a bowl of curry rice in his left hand, while a spoon occupies the other, Long Hua waits for the line to be pulled on.

And eventually—

"Anything?"

Ye Chen comes over, and towards his question, Long Hua shakes his head before setting the finished bowl of curry rice to the side.

"Come to think of it, I don't think, I've ever seen you wear anything else, surnamed Ye."

Despite how much time has passed, Long Hua has only ever seen Ye Chen wearing the same set of attire, which consists of a short-sleeved black jacket over a black shirt, coupled with a loose pair of black pants, and fingerless gloves.

Shrugging a shoulder, Ye Chen replies—

"Doesn't matter what you wear, so long as it holds, right?"

"What about hygiene related issues?"

"I got ten pairs of the same set."

"..."

Towards the odd look that is being directed at him by Long Hua, Ye Chen asks—

"You want one?"

"To hell with that."

"Ai, women are said to dress to impress. Men on the other hand, I think, sticking to practicality is better. No need to fix what's not broken is there?"

"You plan to stay single for life?"

"Oh, what's this? My colleague who just got married is giving me life advice? Are you looking down on me after getting a wife?"

Towards Ye Chen's questions, Long Hua smiles with amusement, to which, the former smiles back, while placing his hands onto the guard rail.

"I... My Hazard Level was 1,810 last year, recently, it hit 1,900."
