But cheers erupted from the distant streets; regardless of whether loved ones had perished in the war, at this moment, the survivors were all grateful for their own survival.
The war was over. The war had been won.
The soldiers of the government office shouted the name of Princess Zhenxi, and led by the military, the surviving civilians left their houses to join the chants.
Finally,
The earth-shaking shouts echoed through the sky dome.
From a distance, Li Junwu's beautiful, radiant eyes revealed a smile, though a wave of deep exhaustion began to creep into her heart.
The nighttime wind of the Great Desert was fierce; it swept away the heat of the day, whipping through Li Junwu's long hair, making it dance like a shimmering cascade beneath the stars.
Slender fingertips brushed through her now waist-length white hair, and below her, the "liar" was staring intently at her.
But at this moment,
She no longer had the courage to meet his gaze again.
