Settling Down [3]

Damien opened his eyes groggily. Unexpectedly, he had fallen asleep after he and Ruyue and finished pouring out their longing for each other.

But it couldn't be helped. Even if he had used Devour to replenish himself, endlessly using warp and his incomplete time pseudo-domain while also teleporting millions of people into the Sanctuary, all within a time limit of 30 minutes, just thinking about it made his head hurt. Of course the fatigue he accumulated would be unimaginable.

As he came back to his senses, he noticed a weight on his chest. There, he saw the picture of a peacefully sleeping Ruyue.

"If this isn't a true representation of the phrase 'sleeping beauty', then I don't know what is." He muttered to himself as he gently brushed his hand through her hair.

"Mm…" Ruyue mumbled in her sleep. Her arms embraced him even tighter as she dug her face into his neck.
