A minute later, Master Swamp Leech watched Mistress Love Wine leave with the sorrowful expression of a man whose entire life had lost meaning.
Or at least Han Yu assumed that was his expression.
With Swamp Leech's face, it was difficult to tell.
Eventually even Daoist Snake Face departed quietly and Swamp Leech tagged along.
That left only Han Yu and Lady Rot Rose within the elegant pavilion.
The atmosphere immediately became calmer.
And heavier.
Han Yu himself had already intended to leave quickly. Staying within another person's isolated spatial realm for too long was uncomfortable no matter how pleasant the surroundings appeared.
Especially when that person was Lady Rot Rose.
Every second here reminded Han Yu that his life was effectively within her hands if she desired it.
Before he could excuse himself politely though, Lady Rot Rose spoke first.
"Wait a moment."
Han Yu paused.
