Chapter 166: Night Sky

Night descended over Sky Jade City, and high above the city, at the absolute apex of the Celestial Summit Palace, the air was pristine and cool, carrying a faint, crisp fragrance.

On the expansive, open-air balcony of the master suite, Lin Yuan stood bathed in the silvery moonlight. He had shed the formal robes he had worn during the tribunal, now dressed only in a loose, comfortable tunic. His deep purple eyes gazed out over the sleeping metropolis and the jagged mountain peaks beyond, his mind already calculating the tournament that awaited him when the sun rose.

Beside him, sitting comfortably in her wheelchair, was Bai Qingyue.

She wore a thin, elegant nightgown of pure white silk, a thick shawl of silver-fox fur draped securely over her delicate shoulders to ward off the high-altitude chill. The moonlight caught the black strands of her unbound hair, making her look like a celestial deity who had briefly stepped down from the heavens to rest.
