The moment my fingertips touched Yao Guang's skin, a warm current, like a babbling brook thawing in spring, carrying endless tenderness and vitality, quietly spread from my palm to my heart.

Wherever she went, it was as if a spring breeze was blowing across the earth, dispelling the chill and gloom that had arisen in the depths of her heart from her contemplation.

Those things that were just tangled up in my mind like a mess, things I couldn't figure out no matter what I did.

At this moment, everything seemed to melt away quietly by this magical warm current, becoming insignificant.

She tilted her head slightly, gazing at the clear, boundless blue sky, her mind filled with countless thoughts. She thought to herself, "Never mind."

Everything in the world has its own predetermined trajectory and rhythm, just like the changing seasons and the blooming and withering of flowers; everything has its own ineffable laws.

When the time is right for her to know, fate will unveil that mystery for her in an appropriate way, so why force it?

Time, like a tireless traveler, leisurely traversed a long journey of a whole year with its unhurried pace.

For Qin Qianluo, this year was a year of constant warfare and fierce battles.

She resolutely stayed on the front line, leaving behind the prosperity and comfort of the capital, and devoted herself wholeheartedly to the magnificent journey of defending the country.

On the battlefield, smoke filled the air, like thick, dark clouds pressing down on the earth. The flames of war raged, like a ferocious demon devouring everything in their path.

The shouts of battle and the neighing of birds intertwined to form a tragic yet stirring melody that echoed across this land filled with bloodshed and war.

Qin Qianluo stood shoulder to shoulder with a group of brave and fearless soldiers.

They were like a Great Wall forged of steel, using their flesh and blood to withstand wave after wave of fierce attacks from the enemy.

Every charge and every act of perseverance embodies loyalty and responsibility to the nation.

They endured countless hardships and dangers, traversing through gunfire and teetering on the brink of life and death.

With unwavering will and exceptional military talent, they finally succeeded in conquering the state of Jizi.

At that moment, the flag of Chengxiao Kingdom fluttered in the sky above Jizi Kingdom, its vibrant colors like the flames of victory, burning fiercely.

This signifies that this land has now been successfully incorporated into the vast territory of Chengxiao Kingdom.

This adds a brilliant and colorful stroke to the long and glorious history of Chengxiao Kingdom. This stroke will be forever recorded in history and become a heroic chapter that will be praised by future generations.

From the moment Master Xuwu arrived in the capital, the entire city seemed to be infused with a mysterious and powerful force.

His expression was solemn, his eyes were piercing, and he immediately set up an exquisite and mysterious formation.

This formation is like an indestructible and unbreakable wall of copper and iron, or a mysterious barrier that is airtight and all-encompassing.

Those key figures who held high positions of power in the court and possessed the potential for rebellion were all carefully protected within it.

Master Xuwu was completely focused, like a master focused on creation. Every array pattern he carved was like writing a mysterious celestial book containing the secrets of heaven and earth.

Those delicate brushstrokes seem to be communicating with heaven and earth, drawing on the mysterious power of the universe.

Each infusion of spiritual energy seemed to imbue the formation with vibrant life and soul, embodying his life's work and wisdom.

The entire process was rigorous and solemn, with an air of mystery permeating the atmosphere.

He moved his hands and chanted incantations, and beams of light flowed from his fingertips, merging into the array patterns.

This made Ning Chenxing, despite his treacherous intentions and cunning schemes, like a trapped beast in a sturdy cage, full of evil thoughts but with no opportunity to exploit.

Unable to carry out their insidious and cunning schemes, they could only grit their teeth and roar in resentment in the darkness.

Meanwhile, thanks to everyone's tireless efforts, Prince Ning Chenyu was successfully rescued.

However, under Ning Chenxing's cruel torture, he suffered extremely serious injuries and barely survived.

Upon returning to the capital, he was placed in a tranquil palace, where imperial physicians cared for him day and night.

For a whole year, he struggled in the abyss of illness, every breath accompanied by excruciating pain, and every night he fought against death.

But with his tenacious vitality and unwavering faith, he grew tenaciously in adversity, like a seedling breaking through the soil.

Finally, he gradually recovered and is now no different from an ordinary person, regaining his former vitality and charm.

Those once dull eyes now shone with confidence and determination, as if they had undergone a rebirth, and he exuded maturity and composure.

Unfortunately, Ning Chenxing, who was as cunning as a fox, vanished without a trace, as if he had evaporated from the face of the earth, leaving no trace whatsoever.
