I asked you to go down the mountain and get married, not to shock the world!

Jinman was stunned upon hearing this.

Mingchuan rarely jokes with her like this, and most of the time she's the one teasing him.

This kid is deliberately trying to put her at ease and prevent her from worrying about him.

Jinman sighed, knowing that Mingchuan wouldn't change his mind once he made up his mind.

Besides, he has accomplished everything he set his mind to over the years, so why shouldn't she trust him?

Upon realizing this, Jin Man instantly felt relieved.

Then, her alluring phoenix eyes flickered, and the anxious expression vanished like ice melting away, replaced by her usual captivating and languid smile.

She took a step forward, almost touching Mingchuan, her purple gauze dress swaying gently with her movements, carrying a faint, delicate fragrance.

"Oh~" She stretched out her slender fingers and gently tapped Mingchuan's chest, her voice soft and charming, with a hint of reproach.

"Our Elder Cang... has started making jokes now? It seems he's really confident, even having the leisure to tease me here?"

Mingchuan chuckled lightly, when Jinman, in a joking tone, spoke her true feelings.

She tilted her head back, her breath sweet as orchids, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her eyes seemed to be soaked in honey.

"Yes, I've fallen for you. I can't bear to see you go to your death, is that so wrong? If you're gone, where can I find someone as interesting and powerful as you again?"

Her voice trailed off long and drawn out, with a hook-like quality that seemed to pierce the heart.

Mingchuan looked down at her beautiful face so close to his, without flinching, but the smile on his lips deepened slightly.

This woman has been by his side for so long, and he hasn't given her any response at all. Isn't that a bit too much?

Thinking of this, Mingchuan raised his hand but did not touch Jinman; he simply smoothed a strand of hair at her temple.

"If you really can't bear to part with me, then before I leave, let's have a good talk... about what exactly you like about me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he stepped forward, wrapped his arms around Jinman, and instantly pulled her into his embrace.

Jin Man gasped, a clear look of panic flashing in her eyes.

Although she had always taken the initiative before, Mingchuan's actions this time were genuine and caught her somewhat off guard.

Even so, feeling Mingchuan's warm hands tightly encircling her waist, Jinman showed no intention of backing down.

She chuckled softly, then looked up and stared intently at Mingchuan.

How would you like to discuss this?

"How should we discuss this?" Mingchuan repeated her words, his voice deep and magnetic, with a dangerous huskiness. "For example... how about starting from here?"

His gaze slowly descended, lingering on her slightly parted red lips, which were parted by her breath.

He refused to believe that this woman was truly fearless and wouldn't back down.

His fingertips traced the contours of her smooth cheek, moving down very lightly and slowly, carrying a burning heat, until they finally stopped at her delicate chin. With a slight pressure, he forced her to tilt her head back and meet his gaze more fully.

"Haven't you always wanted to win me over? How about I satisfy you before I leave?"

“You…” Jin Man’s cheeks flushed instantly. She never expected Ming Chuan to be so direct!

Jinman's heart began to pound uncontrollably, as if trying to break free from the confines of her chest.

Mingchuan laughed: "I thought you were so capable, but it seems you're not as at ease as you claimed."

Jin Man bit her red lips, a hint of resentment in her eyes.

She's a cunning old fox who's lived for so many years, how could she be afraid of a mere brat like Mingchuan?

Jinman took a deep breath, and without saying a word, she suddenly stood on tiptoe, hooked her arms around his neck, and pressed her lips to his.

Mingchuan was stunned, his movements faltered, and then he felt her soft tongue pry open his mouth!

Holy crap, this woman is serious!

Mingchuan's breath hitched, his whole body throbbing with rage. With such a beautiful woman in his arms, how could he possibly resist?

Those large hands wrapped around Jinman's waist, and with a turn, they pressed her onto the bed.

"you sure?"

Jin Man met his eyes, her gaze filled with an unprecedented seriousness.

"Mingchuan, I don't want to see you go to your death, but I know that once you've made up your mind, it can't be changed."

"So I hope to remind you in this way that there is someone here waiting for you to come back."

"You absolutely cannot let your life end in vain..."

After saying this, tears welled up in Jinman's eyes.

Finally, disregarding Mingchuan's thoughts, she closed her eyes once more and kissed him passionately without hesitation.

Mingchuan's heart softened terribly, and in the end, he completely succumbed to her warmth.

He felt as if he had fallen into a sea of ​​purple flowers, the petals blooming and scattering as he fell, enveloping him completely.

The fragrance of flowers lingered around his nose and was deeply etched into his memory...

"I will. I will never give up my life in vain, I will come back."

Amidst a sea of ​​flowers, Mingchuan uttered these words indistinctly, and he could clearly feel Jinman's body trembling with reluctance.

That night was filled with tender and passionate love...

……

The next day, the sky was just beginning to brighten.

Inside the Burning Heaven Pavilion, the ambiguous atmosphere had not completely dissipated, and the intertwined breathing gradually became steady.

Mingchuan has already woken up.

Jinman nestled in his arms, her purple gauze dress scattered messily on the side of the bed. Most of her face was buried in the crook of his neck, her cloud-like black hair spread out on the pillow, and the tips of her ears, flushed red, were faintly visible.

Mingchuan couldn't help but chuckle.

Just as I was about to start my morning exercise, a sudden ripple came from outside the door.

Then, Sect Leader Ye's voice transmission came.

"Mingchuan, I'm here."

Mingchuan's hand movements froze. They came so fast?

He stirred slightly, trying to get up, but startled the person in his arms.

Jin Man opened her eyes groggily and met Ming Chuan's clear gaze. The bold and passionate memories of last night instantly flooded back. She let out a soft "Ah," and her entire face and neck quickly flushed red. Instinctively, she wanted to pull the quilt up to hide herself completely.

Her movements were full of girlish shyness, completely different from her usual charming and alluring demeanor.

Mingchuan laughed: "Elder Jin, you know how to be shy? Weren't you quite proactive last night?"

Jinman pouted and said coquettishly, "You're so annoying, shut up!"

Mingchuan laughed twice before saying, "Sect Leader Ye has arrived; I need to go out and take a look."

Upon hearing this, Jin Man was so ashamed that she wanted to disappear.

She hurriedly grabbed the scattered clothes and put them on, giving Mingchuan a reproachful glare as she did so.

Her eyes held a mixture of resentment and shyness, exuding charm and a languid allure reminiscent of someone newly touched by the rain.

Mingchuan smiled and stood up, quickly straightened his robes, and with a wave of his hand, cast a cleansing spell, instantly dispelling the ambiguous atmosphere in the room.

"come in."
