Everyone returned to their rooms.
I'm amazed at how much has happened lately.
Even those who don't believe in fate can't help but believe in the people around them.
Quan Ji and Jun Chenlan secretly went into a room. Quan Ji casually said the word "clean," and washed their bodies clean, leaving them feeling refreshed and comfortable.
The cicadas' song returns to the land of fairies, a place with a unique beauty of ruins and tranquility. You can hear all sorts of natural sounds here, which can soothe even the most restless heart.
Quan Ji looked at Jun Chenlan, whose expression seemed somewhat gloomy.
Quan Ji speculated that it was because too many things had happened recently, or perhaps he was afraid that something might happen to her and she would die.
She tiptoed and touched Jun Chenlan's silver-gray hair: "What are you thinking about?"
Jun Chenlan snapped out of her daze, looked at Quan Ji, and shook her head. "It's nothing. It's just that too many things have happened recently, and my mind is a bit confused. I'll be fine after a while."
Quan Ji smiled and said, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Let's take it one step at a time. Noah Continent has already come to this point. There's no reason for it to be trampled by invaders. It's always better to be optimistic."
Jun Chenlan rarely retorted to Quan Ji, saying, "I'm not under pressure; I'm the one who's under pressure."
Quan Ji was speechless, but after a moment of silence, she smiled.
"What pressure could I possibly have? I've never felt any pressure."
Jun Chenlan shook his head, put a hand on Quan Ji's shoulder and patted it: "You can't feel the pressure because there's too much pressure, it's made you numb."
"..."
Quan Ji raised her head and stared at Jun Chenlan, her bright eyes gleaming slightly in the dim moonlight.
"Do you remember what you said to me under the sycamore tree in the Holy Glory Empire?"
Jun Chenlan remembered: "You can rest assured to protect the world, I only need to protect you."
Quan Ji tilted her head and smiled stunningly.
“Now I really have to protect the world, so you will protect me too. What pressure could I possibly have? With you, I have nothing to worry about.”
The moment Jun Chenlan heard these words, a wave of sadness welled up inside him for some reason, and he immediately stepped forward and hugged Quan Ji tightly.
Quan Ji was slightly taken aback, but she let Jun Chenlan hold her.
She rested her chin on his shoulder: "Jun Chenlan, if I fail, you will..."
Before she could finish speaking, Jun Chenlan gently pushed her body away and kissed her lips fiercely, his clear black eyes filled with excitement and bloodshot.
He wasn't about to be outdone, biting Quan Ji until she bled. The sweet and pungent smell mingled between their lips, spreading across their tongues before finally dissolving.
Quan Ji never expected Jun Chenlan to act so suddenly in that instant, catching her completely off guard.
She swayed, and the two separated. She felt the pressure of her arms being tightly gripped. A hot tear scalded her collarbone. When she looked up, she saw the Imperial Grand Marshal, hailed as the strongest man on the continent, staring at her with red eyes and gritted teeth.
Her mind went blank.
"Why...why are you crying?"
His voice was hoarse as he leaned his head on Quan Ji's shoulder: "Why did you have to endure so much... I'm sorry... I was so scared."
Quan Ji was taken aback, and then she heard Jun Chenlan speak.
“I was really scared when Mingyan and Yuan wanted to kill you.”
"At that moment, I felt as if I was about to lose a lot."
"I want to help you... but my strength is no match for the gods, and I feel so helpless... how can I protect you?"
"Why am I so useless? I don't even have the ability to protect you now."
How can I protect you?
Why... is he the only one who hasn't awakened yet?
