"Fellow Daoist Xia, would you be willing to travel with me?"
Qin Luo asked again, and seeing that she was stunned in place, his heart skipped a beat. Could it be that she had been seen through?
Xia Zihan quickly realized what was happening and said in a slightly trembling voice, "Fellow Daoist Wang Wu, I... I'm willing. I've always hoped to walk hand in hand with you!"
"Hand in hand with you, let's travel to the ends of the earth together. Fellow Daoist Wang Wu, from this day forward, I wish to watch the clouds drift by with you, and appreciate the sunrise and sunset together."
At this moment, Xia Zihan's eyes were filled with Qin Luo's image.
The tenderness in his eyes seemed to overflow at any moment, so gentle it could melt anyone's heart.
It was completely unrecognizable from its previous nearly broken state.
Upon hearing this, Qin Luo finally felt relieved, but he still needed to add more assurances.
Just as Xia Zihan finished speaking those heartfelt words, her gaze shifted and she saw Qin Luo slowly reach out and tightly grasp her soft hand that had been resting on his chest.
Then, he leaned forward slightly, gently placing his other hand around her waist. Instantly, she was almost completely pressed against Qin Luo, clearly feeling the warmth emanating from him and his strong heartbeat.
Qin Luo quietly held the woman in his arms, the faint scent of sandalwood lingering around his nose, and then, under Xia Zihan's shy and expectant gaze, he lowered his head slightly.
He gently pressed his lips to Xia Zihan's forehead. In that instant, time seemed to stand still, and everything around them became blurred.
Xia Zihan felt a sweet feeling welling up from the bottom of her heart, overwhelming her like a tide.
Her body went completely limp under that gentle kiss, as if she had lost all her strength, and she could only lean helplessly in Qin Luo's arms.
She slowly closed her eyes, feeling the lingering warmth on her forehead.
That gentle kiss was like a boulder thrown into the lake of her heart, creating ripples that lingered for a long time.
Her hands unconsciously wrapped around Qin Luo's waist, holding him tightly, as if afraid that this beautiful moment would suddenly disappear.
......
After a long while, Qin Luo sat upright on the bed in the room, while Xia Zihan sat lightly on his lap. Her slender, jade-like hands gently wrapped around his waist, her cheek resting against his chest, a happy smile on her lips.
Her arched phoenix eyebrows were full of tenderness. Her eyes were slightly closed, immersed in this sweet atmosphere, feeling Qin Luo's presence, her heart filled with peace and contentment.
Qin Luo glanced at the gradually darkening night outside, a sense of helplessness creeping into his heart. She'd been carrying him for almost a whole day; didn't she get tired? He hesitated, wondering if he should let Xia Zihan rest, perhaps by cultivating for a while to relax.
But after thinking about it, I decided against it. The most important thing was to eliminate the traces of her turning to the dark side first.
After a long while, Xia Zihan slowly opened her eyes, raised her head slightly to look at Qin Luo, her eyes full of longing.
"Fellow Daoist Wang Wu, I never imagined I would have such a happy moment."
"I feel like I'm in the most beautiful dream. If it really is a dream, I hope I never have to wake up."
Her voice was soft as silk, filled with sweetness.
Qin Luo reached out and gently brushed the strands of hair behind her ear, smiling as he said, "Fellow Daoist Xia, don't worry, I will always be with you through every spring, summer, autumn and winter."
Hearing Qin Luo's words, Xia Zihan felt a surge of happiness instantly wash over her. She felt light as a feather, and the increasingly intense heat within her body seemed to melt her into Qin Luo's embrace.
Her arms tightened around his waist, as if she wanted to completely merge herself into his body and become a part of him, never to be separated from him again.
After a long while, the sky gradually brightened. The prolonged sitting had made Qin Luo's body a little stiff, but looking at Xia Zihan in his arms with a satisfied expression, he sighed inwardly, wondering how much longer she would continue to be so affectionate.
But it's all worth it to eliminate her yandere tendencies!
After a long while, Qin Luo finally couldn't hold back any longer. If he didn't remind her, she might stay in his arms for a whole month!
"Fellow Daoist Xia, it's already dawn. Shouldn't we stretch our legs a bit?"
Qin Luo spoke gently, his tone full of concern for her.
Xia Zihan slightly raised her head, her eyes filled with languor and reluctance.
"Fellow Daoist Wang Wu, I don't want to leave you. I just want to stay in your arms forever."
Her voice was no longer as hoarse as before; instead, it had a soft, sweet, drawn-out quality, like a coquettish tone.
Qin Luo smiled helplessly and gently patted her shoulder.
"Fellow Daoist Xia, we still have a lot to do. Besides, you'll get tired if we keep holding each other like this."
"I'm not tired~"
Xia Zihan pouted slightly, and this gesture, made from her noble and aloof face, revealed a cuteness in stark contrast.
You're not tired? I am! I'm so tired! Qin Luo felt like crying. He had to find a way to get her back on the path of cultivation. Otherwise, what kind of person would she be, always clinging to him like this?
Aha! Qin Luo suddenly thought of the scene in the simulation where her royal brother attacked her, and recalled the displeased expression on her royal brother's face every time he saw her, as if he had some great grudge against her. This was a good starting point.
"Fellow Daoist Xia, I also wish to quietly watch over you like this, but have you forgotten our current situation?"
"The matter of those men in black has not been resolved yet, and we cannot continue to be complacent like this."
Upon hearing this, Xia Zihan frowned slightly. Those black-clad lackeys of the sects were always a potential threat, but this matter couldn't be rushed, and she was also reluctant to leave Qin Luo's warm embrace. She bit her lip and said:
"Fellow Daoist Wang Wu, rest assured, once my imperial brother arrives in a while, we won't need to worry about our safety anymore. You must know that my imperial brother is..."
As she spoke, she seemed to remember something and suddenly stopped.
If the Emperor knew about Qin Luo's health condition, he would definitely not agree to her relationship with Qin Luo, and might even forcefully separate them!
From a young age, she displayed remarkable comprehension and physical prowess. Her brothers and sisters placed high hopes on her, always wishing that she could find a partner worthy of her.
This expectation would likely become even stronger after her father and mother's misfortune, leaving her at a loss for what to do.
A strong sense of unease welled up in Xia Zihan's heart, and she hugged Qin Luo's waist even tighter, as if only in this way could she find a sense of security.
Her eyes were filled with worry, fearing that her brother's arrival would shatter their current happiness, and she also felt a sense of uncertainty about their future.
This made her suddenly regret sending out the alchemy book.
