The hug was so sudden that Quan Ji was taken aback.

She felt the thin layer of clothing the person in front of her had taken off when they took off their armor, the warmth passing between them like a warm current enveloping her entire body, flowing through her veins to every corner of her body.

Jun Chenlan's voice suddenly came: "Are you feeling tired?"

Quan Ji was stunned for a moment, then realized why Jun Chenlan had done this. Her eyes stung, and tears welled up in them.

The aggrieved child had been holding back tears, but ultimately couldn't resist the sudden outpouring of concern.

Quan Ji tried her best to hold back, but in the end, she couldn't resist the breaking of her emotional valve.

She didn't want anyone to see her in this weak state, so she buried her head in Jun Chenlan's arms, which quickly made Jun Chenlan feel a warm, wet sensation.

Jun Chenlan didn't speak, but his large hands were not idle. One hand gently patted Quan Ji's back, while the other hand gently placed on Quan Ji's hair, pulling her closer to his chest.

I want her to feel comfortable using me as a safe space to confide in, to share her joys and sorrows.

There's nothing wrong with venting.

The scent of cedar trees is overwhelming, refreshing and vibrant, making one feel enveloped in a strong sense of security, bringing peace and comfort.

Quan Ji only cried for a short while before she stopped.

She looked up at Jun Chenlan, a hint of resentment in her eyes: "You're so annoying... How am I supposed to protect my people while crying and wailing?"

Jun Chenlan was suddenly at a loss, "I..."

"But I like you like this. Sometimes you need to vent your emotions, otherwise you'll go crazy. But I'm too tense, it's hard for me to do that. The fact that you can make me cry proves that you feel safe and equal with me, you know?"

Quan Ji softened her tone, as if she was calming herself down.

Jun Chenlan blushed slightly and nodded.

He placed both hands on Quan Ji's back, greedily wanting to take advantage of her.

The air was filled with the scents of the two of them. Quan Ji tiptoed and took the initiative to kiss Jun Chenlan's lips.

As the kiss landed, Jun Chenlan seemed to be under an incurable poison. He stared at Quan Ji with infatuation, his eyes filled with undisguised love.

"Quan Ji".

"Um?"

"You can focus on protecting the world; I'll just protect you."

"..."

"good."

...

The next morning, Quan Ji personally went to the dungeon and brought Quan Zhan and Quan Yao out. Both of them seemed to be out of their minds, like madmen.

When they looked at Kwon Ji, it was as if they were looking at a demon crawling up from hell. They could no longer muster any will to struggle; their hearts were filled with nothing but endless fear.

The others were led by other members of the Holy Light Army, who lined up in an orderly fashion and led them all the way to Holy Light Square.

As Quan Ji had warned them last night, Shengyao Square was already packed with people.

When they saw the arrival of Shengyao Army and Quan Ji, they all consciously made way for them.

Quan Zhan's legs were crippled, and Quan Ji carried him by the head.

Quan Yao was being held captive, her head bowed, her whole body trembling.

The masses had already heard from the returning Shengyao Army that these two men had betrayed the country.

One is the ruler of the Holy Glory Empire, and the other is the second princess of the Holy Glory Empire!

The people, thinking of their identities and their deeds, wished they could tear them apart alive.

Suddenly, a rotten egg smashed hard into Quan Zhan's face, and a piece of rotten vegetable leaf slapped Quan Yao across the face.
