Chapter 1042 - This Isn’t A Date (2)

Specks of light flew into the sky and concealed themselves in the dark clouds. Not long after, bits of light pierced through the clouds and the dense dark clouds above Twilight City suddenly dissipated.

Moonlight sprinkled on the ground and stars decorated the night sky. It was exceptionally beautiful.

Shen Yanxiao looked at the sky that she had not seen for a long time with her mouth agape. She could not believe her eyes.

In the Underground City of Sun Never Sets, her friends from Phantom had created an artificial night sky for her. However, she did not expect that Xiu would be able to actually part the clouds in the sky…

“You dispelled the dark clouds just like that?” Shen Yanxiao looked at the expressionless Xiu, shocked. The dark clouds that had covered the Forsaken Land for thousands of years had disappeared just like that?

Even though only the clouds above Twilight City had been dispelled, the result was still hard for Shen Yanxiao to digest.

Fierce, too fierce!

Xiu said, “It’s only temporary. The dark clouds above the Forsaken Land are formed by the remnant aura of the Devil race. I can’t completely eliminate them right now.”

Xiu spoke calmly, but Shen Yanxiao’s heart was not calm at all.

If he could not do it now, wouldn’t that mean that he could do it after he recovered his strength?

Shen Yanxiao stared at Xiu’s handsome side profile, her eyes were filled with doubts.

Xiu turned around and looked at the little girl who was staring at him in a daze.

“Don’t you want to look at the night sky?” Why is she staring at him instead?

“Erm…” Shen Yanxiao was stunned. A blush crept up her face and she immediately raised her head, pretending to be serious as she stared at the bright moon in the night sky.

Look at the moon, look at the moon!

Xiu narrowed his eyes and said nothing as he quietly stared at the night sky.

Shen Yanxiao had not seen the moonlight for a long time and was lost in her thoughts. Looking at the moonlight that sprinkled on the ground and reflected her long figure, she curled her lips and hopped around the empty street.

At that moment, Shen Yanxiao was acting her age.

She was just like a real girl—lively, cheerful, unbridled, and playful.

Xiu followed behind Shen Yanxiao with his hands behind his back. As he looked at that energetic figure, the ice in his eyes silently turned into spring water.

With a snap of his fingers, Xiu extinguished the light crystals of the entire street. In the pitch-black city, only a ray of moonlight sprinkled down, illuminating Shen Yanxiao’s path.

Shen Yanxiao ran to the end of the street and turned to Xiu.

Under the night sky, he was dressed in white and slowly walked over under the moonlight. He was just like a god that walked out from the moon, making it hard to shift one’s gaze away.

“If the God race had not gone extinct, they would probably be just like Xiu,” Shen Yanxiao whispered in a voice that only she could hear.

The world’s admiration for the God race led people to use all the elegant and honorable words to describe them. Shen Yanxiao had always felt that those words were fake and empty. However, for some reason, she suddenly felt that those beautiful words were unexpectedly suitable for the person before her.

Elegant, handsome, noble, sacred…

If Shen Yanxiao were a poet, she would be happy to use all the beautiful words in the world to describe Xiu because no one was more suited for those words than him.

“What are you thinking about?” Xiu slowly walked to Shen Yanxiao and lowered his head to look at her in a daze.

The tall figure stood in front of Shen Yanxiao, blocking the moonlight. Xiu’s shadow covered Shen Yanxiao.
