The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight penetrated the mist, Li Zimo had changed into a tight black suit, with a cloak lightly draped over his shoulders. A black mask covered most of his face, revealing only a pair of deep eyes.

He embarked on the journey back to Linyuan City, his heart full of expectations for the future.

Xiaoyu returned to the Shenwu Guard’s base to continue her duties, while Zhao Yanran, Wen Wan’er and Xiaoling each chose a quiet place and immersed themselves in cultivation.

Li Zimo's purpose for this trip was clear. He planned to give the precious first-level breakthrough pill to Lu Xiaodie and Lu Xueqing to help them take a step further on the road of cultivation.

He knew very well how important these two women were to him.

As the sun slowly sank, the sky was dyed with a brilliant orange-red, and Li Zimo finally returned to the courtyard of Yaoxiang Pavilion.

He walked to the two-story building where he once lived with ease, and sensed Lu Xiaodie's familiar and warm breath.

He gently pushed open the door and stepped onto the wooden stairs. Each step seemed so light and solemn.

When I reached the second floor, the scene inside the room came into view.

Lu Xiaodie was sitting on the edge of the bed, her posture dignified and elegant, her eyes closed and focused, her breathing even and long, obviously she was at a critical moment in her cultivation.

A faint aura surrounded her body, blending with the surrounding air, forming a harmonious and peaceful picture.

However, in this tranquility, a familiar yet unfamiliar breath quietly invaded, breaking the original balance.

Lu Xiaodie suddenly opened her eyes, and her bright eyes seemed to light up instantly, flashing with surprise and disbelief.

Her eyes quickly turned red and tears welled up in them. It was the joy and emotion of meeting again after a long separation that was at work.

"Brother Zimo!"

She almost blurted it out, with a tremor in her voice, a complex emotion of excitement and joy.

She stood up suddenly, her body shaking slightly due to the hasty movement, but her eyes were extremely firm, looking straight at the familiar figure at the door.

She almost couldn't wait to rush towards Li Zimo, the floor under her feet making a slight sound, and each step was full of strength and determination.

Her arms were open as if to embrace the whole world, and there was only Li Zimo in her eyes.

"Brother Zimo, you're finally back!"

She called out as she ran, her voice filled with uncontrollable joy.

When she finally threw herself into Li Zimo's arms, she could no longer hold back her tears, wetting Li Zimo's clothes.

She hugged Li Zimo tightly, as if she wanted to turn all the longing and concern for him during this period into a loving embrace at this moment.

Li Zimo was also infected by Lu Xiaodie's enthusiasm. He hugged Lu Xiaodie gently, stroked her hair, and felt her heartbeat and breathing.

His eyes were full of pampering and tenderness, as if he wanted to pour all his love into the woman he loved deeply.

"Xiaodie, I'm back."

He whispered, his voice full of tenderness and comfort.

At this moment, the two people's hearts are closely connected, and all the waiting and longing have turned into the sweetness and happiness of this moment.

Lu Xiaodie hugged Li Zimo tightly, her arms wrapped around his waist, as if she wanted to engrave him in her heart forever.

Her face was pressed against his chest, where the rhythm that was familiar and soothing to her was beating.

Tears slid down silently, wetting his clothes and her cheeks.

She choked and her voice was intermittent, but full of endless longing and dependence.

"Brother Zimo, I miss you so much. I look forward to your return every day."

Her words were full of affection, and every word seemed to flow from the softest part of her heart, carrying unspeakable bitterness and sweetness.

Li Zimo felt Lu Xiaodie's affection and attachment, and his heart was deeply touched.

He gently stroked her back, giving her the most solid support and comfort.

His voice was low and gentle, full of genuine emotion:

"Xiaodie, I miss you too. I think of you every day and look forward to the moment of reunion."

The two of them hugged each other quietly, as if time had stopped at this moment.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on them through the window, and the golden light elongated their figures and intertwined them, just like their inseparable emotions.

The air is filled with a faint warmth and sweetness, adding a touch of romance and beauty to this moment of reunion.

After a long time, Li Zimo reluctantly let go of Lu Xiaodie. He gently raised his hand and gently wiped away the tears from her face.

Then he slowly lowered his head and gently pressed a loving kiss against her small red lips.

His fingers gently wandered along her slender waist and soft body lines, conveying endless tenderness and cherishment.

Lu Xiaodie hugged Li Zimo's neck tightly, closed her eyes, and was completely immersed in this rare sweetness.

She responded emotionally, and there seemed to be thousands of words between the two of them, all transformed into the affectionate hug and kiss at this moment.

After a long time, Li Zimo reluctantly ended the kiss. He bent down, carefully picked up Lu Xiaodie, walked down the stairs step by step, and came to the stone table under the big tree in the corner of the yard.

He gently held Lu Xiaodie in his arms and sat down on the familiar stone bench full of memories.

Their movements were smooth and coordinated, as if they were the result of countless times of practice.

After sitting down, he looked at Lu Xiaodie gently, his eyes filled with endless tenderness and doting.

Lu Xiaodie hugged Li Zimo's back tightly, rested her head gently on his shoulder, and snuggled in his arms.

Her big watery eyes sparkled with happiness. She blinked at Li Zimo, her eyes filled with happiness and love.

The two of them sat quietly on the stone bench. The air around them seemed to have frozen, leaving only the sound of their breathing and the occasional rustling of leaves.

They spoke sweet words, and those delicate and gentle words flowed like a stream, nourishing each other's hearts.

Li Zimo recounted what he had seen and heard during the journey, as well as those thrilling and interesting stories, while Lu Xiaodie listened with curiosity and admiration in her eyes.

She also shared her experiences during this period, whether it was the progress in cultivation or the trivialities in life, which made the relationship between the two closer.

However, this tranquility did not last long.

As the moon rose above the branches, a familiar sound of footsteps was heard in the courtyard, breaking the tranquility of the night.

The two smiled at each other, knowing in their hearts that Lu Xueqing had returned.

When Lu Xueqing appeared at the gate of the courtyard, she immediately saw Li Zimo and Lu Xiaodie sitting on a stone bench hugging each other.
