Luo Bai couldn't help but reach out and grasp her soft hand, gently caressing it. Now, all he could do was relax.

"You Ran, you'll always be with me, right?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Youran turned to look at him with great confusion. He had short golden hair and his features were much more mature than before, but there was still some lingering sorrow in his eyes.

She knew that Luo Bai had been exhausted lately, enduring so much hardship alone, without her by his side, and having to face his father's passing alone. It pained her to think about it.

She opened her arms, gently hugged his head, buried it in her shoulder, and softly stroked his stray hairs.

"Of course, if I don't stay with you, who will?"

"Are you trying to back out?"

Xuan Feng sat down next to her, propping his cheek up with one hand: "What about me?"

Mu Youran turned around and leaned against his chest: "Do I even need to say it?"

"You, Xuanfeng, Luobai, Longyin, Yingyao, and Huangyu, we are all one family. Of course we should stay together and never be separated!"

The two knew the answer perfectly well, but they still wanted to hear it from her own mouth, as if that would be the only way to be absolutely certain.

With a slight effort, Xuan Feng pulled her into his lap, looking directly into her starry eyes, and leaned in to kiss her.

"We'll officially become a couple once we return to Beast King City."

The kiss, gentle yet forceful, made You Ran instantly go limp, her palms filled with the sense of security brought by his hard chest.

After a while, she finally got a chance to catch her breath: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Luo Bai slowly approached her from behind, a smile on his lips. Taking advantage of Xuan Feng's movement, he directly covered her crimson lips.

"So sweet~"

At this moment, Mu Youran's eyes were somewhat unfocused.

Two handsome, sunny, resolute yet tender faces appeared alternately before me, with starlight behind them, as if I were floating in the clouds.
