'There's no way he's guiding me this precisely otherwise…'
And she was right.
Hidden cameras quietly captured every moment, while the jade bracelet on her wrist transmitted his voice seamlessly.
But Lana didn't think that far.
Instead, her mind drifted back to her previous life.
'A spirit … something like that…' she mused.
Back then, they had once used a rare spirit to transmit voices across long distances, sometimes even a kilometer away, to mislead assassins and escape danger.
A faint nostalgia flickered through her eyes. Then she paused.
"Thank you," she said softly.
Lucian hummed lightly. "A simple 'thank you' doesn't seem enough."
"Oh?" she raised a brow.
"How about giving me some kind of benefit?"
Lana nodded seriously, though her lips curved slightly.
"When you come back," she replied, "I'll make sure you get it."
Lucian sighed faintly, almost regretfully.
"That's too far away… If I could meet you in my dreams, I'd probably do a lot of things I shouldn't."
