Duan Rong returned to Liu's House, climbed onto the bed, and fell into a deep sleep.
The duel with Tao Rong had taken quite a toll on him.
There were no dreams throughout the night.
Duan Rong woke up to the sound of a rooster crowing, the room was dark, with only a faint cold light emanating from the window. He half-kneeled and opened a corner of the window.
That cold light was not the dawn, but the moon sinking in the west.
It was still the darkest hour before dawn; the shrinked weather showed a large star hanging high in the sky.
Duan Rong felt that he had slept enough, so he went to the courtyard to wash up.
Then he returned to his room, opened the cabinet beside the bed, and took out the divine statues of the Four Great Kings stored inside.
