She said firmly, "I'll take you out."
"I can't go out yet." He raised his hand to touch her face, but then remembered that his hand was stained with blood, so he used his other clean hand to stroke her cheek. "Fengguang, why did you come to Wuji Tower?"
“I was worried about you! When I heard that your Wuji Tower had some ridiculous rule about having to get past ninety-nine assassins, I was afraid you would actually do it, so I ran over here. Sijia, please don’t go any further, okay? I’ll take you away from here.”
“If some things aren’t resolved now, they will always be a hidden danger. And I… I imagine that, like Fengguang said, I can buy a yard, plant a loquat tree, and live a peaceful life with Fengguang.” His gaze softened, and even his voice became more tender and affectionate.
Feng Guang may not know, but Si Jia knows that Wuji Tower will not let anyone go. If he does not leave Wuji Tower, he will be entangled by the people of Wuji Tower for the rest of his life.
Although she didn't understand, she would support his decision out of helplessness, saying, "Then I'll go through this test with you. My swordsmanship is very good, and I can protect you."
He chuckled softly. "I thought Fengguang would be angry with me."
"Of course I'm angry with you! I haven't even settled the score with you for trying to trap me in a dream, so I need to ensure your safety so I can properly settle the score!"
He whispered, "The scenery..."
"Um?"
“I still don’t understand what love is, but I think I love you…” He lifted her chin and placed a kiss on her lips.
Feng Guang closed his eyes and suddenly thought that in this blood-soaked scene, such a tender and lingering kiss might not be so bad.
After a long while, their lips parted, and he licked the corner of her lips with the tip of his tongue, whispering, "I won't die. I will leave Wuji Tower alive, and I will never give you to another man."
The reason he was so eager to pass the test of the assassins was because he had heard rumors that Princess Changning was going to choose a husband. He wanted to be able to go to her side without any constraints. Moreover, he had already prepared for the worst. Even if she really chose a husband and got married, even if she fell in love with that man, he would still take her away and take her away at all costs.
Even if she hates herself.
Feng Guang shook her head. "I won't like any other man. I've decided that you're the one, Si Jia. It's okay if Father and Mother don't agree to us being together. I can give up my princess status and leave the palace. I want to marry you."
His heart was filled with a satisfaction he had never felt before. His usually cold eyes finally held something else—deep affection. "I promise Fengguang, I will marry you."
He placed a light kiss on her brow, his gentle voice filled with pleasure.
Feng Guang wasn't blinded by the warm atmosphere and forgot her business. She grabbed his hand and said stubbornly, "How about we walk the rest of the way together?"
"Okay." He lowered his eyelids and looked at her with gentle eyes. He would protect her on this part of the journey.
But Si Jia miscalculated; it wasn't him protecting her, but her protecting him.
On the remaining stretch of road, Feng Guang wielded his sword, killing anyone who stood in her way. Of course, she didn't actually kill; as mentioned before, she didn't like killing, even though these assassins were no longer human. So, she simply used ropes she had prepared before leaving the palace to tie them up after defeating them. Although the assassins only knew how to kill, they were no longer able to move and therefore could no longer block her path.
