Feng Guang paused for a moment, then sat up straight in disbelief. The sun was still shining, but it had started to snow heavily. The snow melted as soon as it hit the ground, and the cobblestone path was covered with all kinds of flowers. Even the withered branches in the pile of fallen leaves had produced unknown fruits.

She was speechless for a long time. After a moment, her voice was calm, "You used illusions on me again?"

“Of course not.” He brushed the snow off her head. “Illusions are just for fooling others. Scenery is not for others. Whatever you want, I will bring it to you in real life.”

He had no reason to lie to her.

Feng Guang remained silent for a long while, then said, "If it weren't an illusion... how could you have accomplished these things?"

"Of course I have my own methods." He smiled again, his smile gentle and kind. "Want to learn from Fengguang?"

Feng Guang nodded at first, then quickly shook his head, "I don't want to learn it. It must be a difficult spell. I don't have the talent to learn it."

She is quite self-aware.

Wuya found her lack of ambition quite endearing. He lowered his head and kissed her forehead. These days, he had grown to enjoy physical intimacy with her more and more, and he didn't see anything wrong with this trend.

"It's okay if Fengguang doesn't want to learn. I'll always be here for you. I'll give you whatever you want." This isn't just something to make someone who likes him happy; he's stating the truth because he has the right to say so.

Feng Guang admitted that her heart was fluttering, but after that flutter, she felt there was something she had to say: "Boundless..."

"Hmm?" Wuya responded softly. He knew that when she wanted to talk about something serious, she would call him by his name directly. But seeing that she was blushing and couldn't say a word, he gently encouraged her, "What does Fengguang want to tell me?"

“I…” Feng Guang glanced at him cautiously before mustering her courage to say, “I don’t like being locked up.”

"Lock him up?" His dark eyes revealed his bewilderment at those three words.

Feng Guang didn't know whether he was genuinely unaware or pretending not to understand. She continued, "I don't like you using a barrier to lock me up in Sunset Peak."

"So that's what Fengguang meant." He seemed to realize something, then hugged her and laughed, "This isn't a barrier, Fengguang, I'm protecting you."

"The protection you're talking about... does it mean I can't go anywhere?"

"That's not the case. Wherever Fengguang wants to go, I'll go with you."

"What if you can't be with me because of something? I can't leave Sunset Peak either?"

Seeing that her tone had become much more serious, Wuya's smile became even more perfect. "Fengguang, you don't know how fragile you are. I must be absolutely sure of protecting you."

Look, it was just a man in black who came to ambush her, and she was so seriously injured in front of him. Wuya wanted to prevent all dangers from happening in advance. In his opinion, this was something that had to be done.

“Wuya…” Feng Guang gripped his clothes tightly and said, word by word, “I don’t like this feeling.”

Looking into her eyes, all Wuya could see was her unwillingness to compromise.

The atmosphere fell silent for a moment, and even the wind stopped.

Time seemed to have passed for a long time, yet it also seemed to have only been a moment. Finally, a sigh came from the woods, "I understand."

Someone always has to admit defeat.
