Bing Rong

Shen Yuan hugged her back as her familiar fragrance filled his senses, "I missed you too."

They stayed still for some time, forgetting that the world even existed as they silently enjoyed the moment.

Shen Yuan forgot all about his plan and what he thought of doing after returning, as all he wanted to do now was to spend some time with her.

After what felt like an eternity, Shen Yuan and Bing Rong separated as she looked at him intently, "You have grown much stronger than the last time I saw you. And something... seems to have changed?"

She paused as she took a careful look at him, "Something seems different in you as well."

Shen Yuan smiled, knowing she was talking about his new Physique, but he brushed it off and instead asked, "How was your seclusion? Any improvements or problems you encountered?"
