After hearing Lilith's words, Bai Zemin's breathing completely stagnated and all he could do was stare at her face with a stunned expression.
Less than a hundred circles around the Sun.... Less than a hundred years...
Lilith's age didn't even reach a century...? Even though he had just heard the answer just moments ago, for some reason Bai Zemin's mind refused to accept it; or perhaps he simply could not understand how such a thing was possible.
Lilith did not seem to be amused by his funny expression or anything else. In fact, the expression on her face was still as complex as when she said those words before the room fell into absolute silence.
While the natural sound of nocturnal insects added an extra layer of calm to the dark night, two existences were overwhelmed by their own emotions that although different, the result led them to stay in silence for a long time.
