"You know, after you left, I longed for your return every day. Although only cultivation could make me feel at ease, I always felt empty inside."
As Murong Liyue spoke, her voice grew even softer, filled with an unyielding affection:
"Now that you're back, you can't leave again..."
Holding the delicate, boneless beauty in his arms, listening to these soft words, a warm feeling flowed through his body. Qin Luo hugged Murong Liyue even tighter, gently resting his chin on the top of her head:
"I've been thinking about you all the time these past two years while I've been away, and I'm looking forward to coming back soon."
Hearing Qin Luo's soft words, Murong Liyue's face flushed with happiness. She closed her eyes slightly, fully enjoying this hard-won moment of warmth.
She buried her head deeper into Qin Luo's arms, as if trying to make up for all the warmth she had missed over the past two years.
Just as she was completely absorbed in the moment, a beautiful image suddenly flashed through her mind, pulling her back to reality from her sweet reverie.
Murong Liyue suddenly opened her eyes and raised her head somewhat nervously:
"Qin Luo, Bing Li... she's gone! I don't know when she disappeared. I... I heard Huang Lu running over to me as soon as I came out of seclusion..."
Seeing Murong Liyue's flustered and incoherent state, Qin Luo's heart skipped a beat. He deliberately put on a stern face, his tone revealing a hint of seriousness:
"What did you say? Bingli is missing? What are you all doing! How can a grown woman just disappear like that!"
The deep voice echoed in the quiet room, startling Murong Liyue so much that her heart skipped a beat.
His already flustered expression grew even more tense, and he spoke incoherently:
“I…I really didn’t know it would be like this. I didn’t know anything when I was in seclusion. It was only after I came out that Sister Huang Lu told me. I was terrified at the time and immediately thought of telling you, but you had already left Lingyuan Sect. So I had to use the spiritual points you gave me to buy a few flying message notes to notify you.”
Murong Liyue explained urgently while carefully observing Qin Luo's reaction.
Seeing her excessive reaction, Qin Luo's serious expression didn't last long. He quickly pulled Murong Liyue into his arms again and gently stroked her long hair.
"Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore. Look how nervous you are, you're almost crying."
Upon hearing this, Murong Liyue was first stunned, then realized she had been tricked. She was both angry and annoyed, and punched Qin Luo's chest forcefully, scolding him playfully:
How could you say that! They were almost frantic with worry, and you were still joking!
"Actually, I received your message before I came back. Bingli is fine. She can't come back with me because of some special reasons."
After hearing this, the worry in Murong Liyue's eyes disappeared, and she lightly punched Qin Luo again:
"You're just scaring me. I thought you were really going to blame me."
Murong Liyue leaned gently against Qin Luo's chest, breathing in his familiar and unique scent, which brought back the blush that had faded from her face.
At this moment, her cheeks were flushed, her eyes were sparkling, and she looked both aloof and breathtakingly beautiful.
Then, as if suddenly remembering something, Murong Liyue asked in a low voice:
"Does Huang Lu know that you have returned this time?"
Qin Luo was taken aback upon hearing this, and recalling Huang Lu's alluring figure, he subconsciously said:
"No, I just got back and rushed over to see you."
Hearing this, Murong Liyue felt a surge of secret joy. She bit her lower lip lightly, a mischievous glint in her eyes, and said softly:
"It's late, and Huang Lu is probably already asleep. It wouldn't be good to disturb her at this time..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Murong Liyue raised her hand slightly, and the candlelight in the room began to flicker violently. The dim yellow light scattered and cast long shadows on the walls.
Finally, with a soft "poof," the candlelight went out completely, plunging the entire room into thick darkness.
