After deciding to head to the desert to generate frustration points, Luo Qing wasted no time. The next morning, he and his subordinates set out toward the Tanit Tribe.

For once, Makoto didn’t know what to say.
All she wanted was for Luo Qin...

All she said was that it was "a lot," and then confidently patted him on the shoulder, assuring him that as long as she was around, there would never be chaos in his harem. He was free to flirt however he pleased.
Luo Qing understood her words, but he was equally stunned.
Did that mean she was the main wife?

Makoto changed into a light purple, airy kimono. Taking advantage of the twilight, she walked alongside Luo Qing through the streets of Sumeru, heading toward the Grand Bazaar.

Kathoom extended a wing. “Let’s return to reality.”
Bruce nodded, reaching out to clasp the owl’s wing.
“Kathoom, I suddenly remembered what my happiest memory is.”

Bruce wiped his tears and smiled. “It was when you took me away from Gotham!”
To save Gotham, one must first leave Gotham.

The transitions were rapid, like watching a dull family drama. Ten years in the dream flew by in the blink of an eye, though to Kathoom, it felt like barely twenty minutes.

Or perhaps, not so different.
