It's unclear whether Aoqian's transformation into a villain influenced him.
This time, he couldn't bring himself to push Song Xiwei away firmly, letting her do whatever she wanted.
After a moment, Aoqian came to his senses and saw Song Xiwei looking at him with a smile.
"Which Aoqian are you now?" Song Xi asked him playfully.
Aoqian frowned. Did she know she was playing with fire?
"Judging from your expression, you are my Aoqian, not the Aoqian who turned evil, right?" Song Xiwei said as she walked towards him.
Ao Qian suddenly exclaimed, "Don't come any closer!"
"It seems that the corrupted Aoqian isn't so powerful after all. Even after what I did, he didn't take away my power. So, your previous worries were unnecessary."
Aoqian didn't speak, he just looked at Song Xiwei, leaving it impossible to tell what he was thinking.
Song Xiwei reached out and pinched his cheek. "Don't be so nervous about letting me go so easily in the future."
"Say something?" Song Xi poked Ao Qian's cheek.
"Understood," Aoqian nodded in agreement.
Song Xiwei finally breathed a sigh of relief, then hugged Aoqian's neck, "Hug~"
In the past, when Song Xiwei acted this way, Aoqian didn't treat her like a stranger at all.
Fearing that Aoqian would still push her away, Song Xiwei rubbed her face against Aoqian's clothes.
Aoqian did as she said.
Song Xiwei finally felt the long-awaited embrace and Aoqian's strong heartbeat.
It was a feeling of fulfillment that gave her a sense of finally finding belonging.
As Song Xiwei closed her eyes with a satisfied expression, she did not see the fleeting glint in Ao Qian's eyes.
Ao Qian gently patted her back, but Song Xiwei didn't sense any danger. This was Ao Qian; none of the auras he released were meant to harm her.
After being apart for many days, they hadn't shared a room in a long time.
Back when they were still superiors and subordinates, Aoqian tried every means to make them sleep in the same room.
At that time, Song Xiwei was very carefree and didn't think much about it.
Now that I think about it, I wonder if Aoqian did anything to her every night after she fell asleep...
Because when she thought about it from her own perspective, she realized that if it were her, with the person she liked right under her nose, she couldn't possibly do nothing.
So now the two of them are staring at each other, each waiting for the other to fall asleep first.
Song Xi chuckled. "Now that the Six Realms are temporarily at peace, I've decided that we should find a beautiful place with clear waters and lush mountains to live in seclusion. The idea of men farming and women weaving, the idyllic rural life, really sounds quite nice. What do you think?"
Aoqian smiled and looked at her, "I have no objection, I'll listen to whatever you say."
Song Xiwei recalled Miao Ruyi's reaction when she was asked if she was willing to give up the position of Demon King of the Demon Clan. She was hesitant and reluctant.
"How could you agree so easily? You are the ruler of the Demon Realm and the founder of the Demon Race. Didn't you ever think that if you stopped caring about the Demon Race, it would decline?" Song Xiwei asked Aoqian in return.
Ao Qian smiled, “When I founded the Demon Clan, it was to create a way out for my beloved. Today, that still holds true. If my beloved is willing, I will live with her in the Demon Clan. If she wants to go elsewhere, that’s fine too. After all, it’s just a place to live, so what’s there to be reluctant to give up? Besides, the Demon Clan’s development has basically reduced the killing and external expansion. Everyone is less hostile and has gradually begun to coexist peacefully with the Six Realms. There’s no need for me to take the lead in everything.”
"So, you've thought it through, and you don't regret it? Once you step down, it won't be so easy for you to go back..."
"What are you testing me for now? I have already won you over, do I need anything else? In this entire realm, the only one who can truly capture my heart is you."
As he spoke, Aoqian suddenly closed the distance between them.
Their noses were almost touching, and their breaths could be heard.
