The Imitation that Vanished

Infernal King's chamber

Shi Xiaobai was lying in bed with his eyes tightly closed while he remained unconscious.

Sunless was sitting on a chair beside the bed. Her eyes were dull as usual, but her gaze was on Shi Xiaobai's face, having not left it for a prolonged period of time.

The Infernal Queen lay languidly on a sofa in the distance. Her eyes were closed as she had dozed off.

As time passed, the chamber remained silent with only the occasional sounds of breathing heard. No one moved, as though they were three petrified statues.

Suddenly, the corners of Shi Xiaobai's eyes twitched lightly.

No matter how minute the change or how ephemeral or fleeting it was, nothing could escape Sunless's eyes. A glint flashed in her dull eyes as the corners of her mouth moved but she did not make a sound. Her hands were clenched into fists but she did not get up.
