Emperor & Empress (Part 1)
This white-haired, red-eyed young man was, of course, Bai Zemin who had come all the way here to look for someone after finishing some important business and settling some things in Beijing.
As for the elegant silhouette dressed in a black leotard and a scarf covering 90% of her face was, of course, Evangeline whom Bai Zemin had not seen in over 8 months.
Sensing the irregular aura and extremely fragile vitality of this person, her pupils trembled slightly and a voice as sweet as a baby's but full of disbelief came from her lips, "You... how...?"
"Ah... This?" Bai Zemin gently tossed his hair with a hand and with a hint of helplessness replied, "I had no choice but to use my vitality in exchange for strength, that's how I came to be this miserable... But hey, putting my life on the line to win is something I'm used to anyway. I'm not complaining, at least I'm still breathing but my opponent isn't."
