บท 483: Incense Sticks

Li Xueyue didn't realize she had fallen asleep until the next morning arrived, completely unaware of the chaos that happened yesterday. She was dazed and confused, feeling something was strange. Her eyes were heavy and she could barely open her eyelids.

There was an unfamiliar scent in the room. It was heavy and was luring her back to sleep. 

"Hmmm…?" Li Xueyue touched the empty spot beside her and groggily sat up with shut eyes. She patted the spot again, realizing it was cold as ice. Where exactly was Yu Zhen? Did he not return the entire night?

Li Xueyue was tired. What exactly was happening? She nearly couldn't even open her eyes out of sheer exhaustion. Finally, when she did so, she saw something burning beside her nightstand.

Li Xueyue rubbed at her heavy eyelids. Finally, her vision sharpened and she saw it. There was a small circular pot crafted of metal. Its legs were curled inwards, a design of a forest and cliff was carved into the pot.
