Qin Luo handed the Moon Essence Jade to Murong Liyue and said with a smile:

"I stumbled upon this auction during my mission. I just felt that this Moon Essence Jade was perfect for you, so I put in some effort to buy it. That's why it took me so long to get back to see you."

Looking at the Moonlit Spirit Jade that radiated a mesmerizing light, Murong Liyue felt a surge of indescribable emotion.

Moved, she recalled the worries that had been lingering in her mind, and the unfounded suspicions she had harbored. Now, she realized that her actions had truly betrayed his trust. Thinking of this, Murong Liyue was filled with remorse.

Instead of taking the Moon Essence Jade from Qin Luo, Murong Liyue suddenly wrapped her arms around Qin Luo's neck and pressed herself closer to him.

She slightly raised her head, her eyes reddening, looking at Qin Luo with deep affection, her gaze seeming to hold a thousand words to say.

Then, she slowly closed her eyes, parted her lips slightly, and leaned forward, bringing their faces closer together. Their warm breaths mingled, and the surrounding air became both hot and tender.

A moment later, their faces were still inches apart, so close that their warm breaths mingled and could be clearly felt.

Murong Liyue parted her red lips slightly, exhaling a delicate and fragrant breath like the scent of lotus. A hint of dazedness lingered in her eyes as she softly choked out:

"Qin Luo, I... I don't want this Moon Essence Jade, I only want you. I was so stupid before, thinking all sorts of nonsense, even doubting you. You've been so good to me, and yet..."

But before Murong Liyue could finish her tearful lament, Qin Luo interrupted her.

In an instant, the surrounding air became even thicker and hotter, and the already intertwined aura was now like fine threads, tightly binding the two of them, making it impossible for them to break free.
