"You have worked hard." Lu Yizhou said as soon as Jillian was able to pull himself away from the crowd. Now that he was recognized widely as an immortal, even the King wouldn't be able to tell him what to do anymore. He would bow only to Heaven and as always, listened to no one but Lu Yizhou.
Despite his tough facade, Lu Yizhou could sense the underlying exhaustion hidden beneath the tight lines around Jillian's mouth. Not to mention that he was still covered in blood, both his and Ernoul, as well as dust and grime. Him gaining superb regeneration ability didn't mean that Lu Yizhou's heart ached any less. Just imagining the injuries Ernoul had inflicted on him was enough to make Lu Yizhou wish he could chase the demon down to Hell and personally mince him to pieces!
