"Yun'er, what are you doing?"

Rong Xun saw Su Yun rush into the magic array without regard for anything, and before he could even react, she was already beside him.

He almost scared her to death!

Xie Yun Chu quickly called out, "Mother, Uncle Rong, are you alright?"

Xie Yun Chu was protecting Rong Xun, but he never expected that his mother would rush into the magic formation.

He instantly understood from that sudden realization that his mother cared for his uncle Rong no less than his father did.

Su Yun grabbed Rong Xun's hand, "Brother Rong, don't go."

Where did he go?

In the instant Rong Xun was stunned, he saw that her eyes were red and there were tears in her eyes. Only then did he realize that Yun'er had probably sensed some of his thoughts.

She actually knew some of his thoughts.

Rong Xun picked up Su Yun and headed straight for his usual room at the Observatory.

Xie Yun Chu turned around, and his heart raced as he looked at her!

As expected, the Empress Dowager's feelings for Uncle Rong were genuine!

After Rong Xun carried her back to his bedchamber, he used his internal energy to heal her wounds. Half an incense stick later, Su Yun's body stopped trembling. She took Rong Xun's hand and asked, "Brother Rong, isn't it very dangerous to try to rebuild this world?"

After all, if they can't find Zhang Zhao, they'll have to pay an even higher price to leave this place!

Rong Xun smiled slightly, and seeing her gripping his hand tightly, said, "It won't be very dangerous."

“I just saw you in the middle of the magic circle, and it was as if I saw you about to disappear.”

Rong Xun: “…”

"Will not."

"you swear."

Rong Xun opened his mouth, looking at Yun'er's determined expression, but for a moment he couldn't say anything.

"I knew it!"

Su Yun frowned. "Even if we have to leave here, I want us to leave together, not by sacrificing you. Even someone as innocent as Jian Wu shouldn't be sacrificed!"

"Yun'er..."

Su Yun stood up and hugged Rong Xun. "It's fine if we just live like this, but I don't want you to sacrifice everything for others anymore."

The others she was referring to were naturally those who helped her and Xiao Lusheng get together, as well as Yun Chu and Yao'er.

Rong Xun took a deep breath. "Okay."

He looked at Yun'er, knowing he held a place in her heart, but he didn't realize she cared so much about him.

Rong Xun felt a slight ache in his heart.

He was in pain for himself.

He could see the struggles and pain of Yun'er, Xiao Lusheng, Xie Yun Chu, and Yao'er, so he truly wanted to do everything in his power to send them back.

Even at the cost of one's life.

Even if he could go back someday, he thought he wouldn't want to leave this place...

But looking at Yun'er, he wavered.

"You promised you would never lie to me, or I will never forgive you."

Rong Xun looked at her, her beautiful eyes fixed on him like mist, trying to confirm whether what she said was true or false.

Rong Xun nodded again, "Yes, I agree."

Su Yun then stopped crying and started laughing. She sat up and leaned against Rong Xun's chest. After a moment of silence, she raised her head and looked at Rong Xun, saying, "Then let me be a bad woman."

"Ok?"

Before Rong Xun could react, Su Yun hooked her arms around his neck, tilted her head back, and kissed him.

Rong Xun's pupils dilated slightly as if shaken. He was always the one taking the initiative, and he remembered that this wasn't the first time Yun'er had taken the initiative like this, but this time Yun'er's initiative was different from before.

She had initiated kisses before, perhaps due to circumstances or other reasons, but this time…

Rong Xun just felt that this time was different.

Her tenderness, like countless threads of affection, tightly enveloped him, even though he repeatedly told himself that his relationship with her might end once he returned to Cangyun Kingdom.

Once you've experienced the pleasures of love between a man and a woman, you'll crave it and never be able to quit.

He sank into this state of blissful ignorance, watching his beloved cherish him just as he cherished him…

Xie Yun Chu returned to the Imperial Palace from the Star Gazing Platform.

Seeing his blank expression, unlike his usual lively demeanor, Xiao Yao asked, "Did you see Mother go to see Uncle Rong?"

"Ah."

Ok?

Seeing his reluctance to speak, Xiao Yao paid more attention and asked, "When Uncle Rong went to the Star Gazing Platform, did he see the Tai Chi Bagua Formation that we built?"

"Saw."

"and then?"

Then?

Xie Yun Chu came back to her senses and looked at Xiao Yao, "Then, Uncle Rong drove all the workers away, and then asked me to protect him. He tested the spiritual power of the magic array in the magic array."

Xiao Yao nodded. And then what?

Xie Yun Chu swallowed hard. "Then, Mother suddenly rushed into the magic circle, shouting that she wouldn't let Uncle Rong leave..."

Xiao Yao: “…”

Xie Yun Chu said, "Mother Empress should still have feelings for Uncle Rong."

Xiao Yao took a deep breath. It was normal for her mother to fall in love with someone as good as Uncle Rong.

But from the Emperor's perspective, he and the Empress loved each other so much, and yet...

"It's all Old Master Chen's fault!" Xiao Yao said indignantly.

Xie Yun Chu walked to Xiao Yao's side, pressed her against his shoulder, and the two heads touched. "I just don't understand why Mother was so frightened that she rushed into the magic circle. Did she think Uncle Rong would leave?"

Or does she think that Uncle Rong will leave her?

Does she really love Uncle Rong that much?

What about my father?

Thinking about it, Xie Yun Chu subconsciously looked at A Yao, who was leaning on her shoulder, and asked, "A Yao, what if you fall in love with someone else too?"

Xiao Yao laughed, somewhat annoyed. "No."

"For example, Sword 5."

After all, she and Jian Wu had been intimate.

Xiao Yao was stunned when she heard Xie Yun Chu's question. Was he bothered?

"Do you mind?" she asked, pushing Xie Yun Chu away.

"No, no!"

Xie Yun Chu quickly hugged her, "I'm just afraid you'll fall in love with him."

"I could never fall in love with him."

Hearing her say it was impossible, Xie Yun Chu felt a little relieved. "Sister, are you sure you want to?"

Xiao Yao was furious with him. "What do I have to say for you to believe me?"

Xie Yun Chu didn't know either.

He believes that many deeply affectionate couples have made countless vows and promises to each other.

Xie Yun Chu hugged her tightly, "I want to be with you forever and ever, for all eternity." His voice was deep and earnest.

Xiao Yao replied, "I promise you."

Xie Yun Chu felt a little better after taking a deep breath.

Xiao Yao then spoke of what she had said to her mother, "After leaving me, Mother suddenly went to the Star Gazing Platform and saw Uncle Rong in the middle of the magic array. She rushed in without regard for her life. Could it be because she thought Uncle Rong would leave, so she shouted to stop him from leaving?"

Xie Yunchu nodded, "Very likely."

After thinking about her conversation with her mother for a while, Xiao Yao finally said, "In the past, it was Uncle Rong who paid a terrible price to bring you back to life. Are you worried that Uncle Rong will choose to sacrifice himself again this time so that we can all return to Cangyun Kingdom? Is that why you are so panicked?"
