Female lead: No, it's me again??

Hongyue laughed out loud, "I wonder who insisted on going out. Turns out they were just saying one thing and meaning another~"

The little girl playfully punched his chest.

"Are you sick!"

He smiled.

Laughter echoed through the Lingmeng Star Sea, bringing great joy.

Hongyue grabbed her mischievous hand with one hand. "I've already stored the beauty branch in an ice box and put it in your ring. If you're craving it, take it and eat it yourself. Now close your eyes."

The little girl is afraid of heights, so it's better if she doesn't look.

Xuan Li obediently closed his eyes, still asking questions.

How much did you pack?

She's such a little glutton.

"Hmm, about a thousand, that should last until I come back to pick you up."

Xuan Li suddenly thought of a question, "If we go out... are you going back?"

The man's voice was low, "Yes, I have something to take care of."

The little girl hugged Hongyue's waist tightly, hesitated, and bit her lip. "Isn't anyone else here?"

Hearing that the person was leaving, Xuan Li still felt a pang of reluctance.

"No one else can do it."

Otherwise, they wouldn't have prepared everything while she was taking a nap.

"Ah Li, once you go inside, don't go west, okay?"

"what?"

Just as Xuan Li was about to ask why, he suddenly felt his chin being lifted, and something warm pressed against his lips. It was...

Her eyelashes trembled, but she didn't open them in the end.

Just touch and leave.

"Open your eyes, we've arrived."

The woman opened her eyes and found themselves indoors. "Where is this?"

Hearing the commotion, Feng Siyue walked through the beaded curtain and saw her senior holding a woman in red standing by the window.

She tentatively asked, "Ah Li?"

Feng Siyue?

She turned around to look.

Then I saw Feng Siyue's slightly mocking gaze.

Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she quickly let go of Hongyue's arms and got out.

Standing there awkwardly, not knowing what to do.

Hongyue showed no embarrassment whatsoever; his gaze towards Feng Siyue was completely calm.

"I don't care why Ali insists on going in with you, but you'd better make sure she comes out unharmed."

Perhaps it was the man's gaze that was too intimidating, but Feng Siyue subconsciously nodded, "Okay."

Xuan Li couldn't help but tug at Hong Yue's sleeve.

"Don't do this..."

Red Moon's stern face was rather frightening.

Then Feng Siyue saw the man who had just been so imposing turn around helplessly and pat her head.

"You, you forget about me as soon as you have good friends, don't you?"

"Where is it?"

The little girl's face grew increasingly red, and she avoided looking at him.

The sight of one's beloved blushing is indeed a beautiful sight that is hard to look away from.

Hongyue wanted to continue teasing her, but she knew it wasn't the right time. "Alright, I'm leaving now."

"Remember what I told you? You need to study hard, do you hear me?"

Xuan Li obediently replied, "I understand."

Even though the little girl was very well-behaved and promised to study hard, Hongyue couldn't help but worry, "I'll pick you up on the day the secret realm ends. If you get injured, you're doomed."

Xuan Li made a face and said, "Hehe~"

With Ya Ya around, she's invincible.

Hongyue sighed, "You."

Are you so sure he'll feel bad about it?

Feeling the runes pressing against his palm, he said reluctantly, "I'm leaving, Ali. Take care of yourself."

Xuan Li nodded.

The crimson moon transformed into a streak of red light and vanished.

After everyone left, Feng Siyue looked at her with a teasing expression, "Tell me honestly, when did you get together?"

Xuan Li hurriedly explained, "What do you mean, 'together'? No!"

Feng Siyue didn't believe it at all. "They weren't hugging each other? And Ah Li? Tsk tsk tsk."

"No, there really isn't..."

"Yeah, yeah, why are you blushing if you're not together?"

Seeing that he couldn't win the argument, Xuan Li was furious and was about to hit her, but Feng Siyue wouldn't allow it.

He ran away immediately.

The two joked around in the room for a while before sitting down to drink tea and rest.

"Ah Li, you really like him?"

Xuan Li lay on the table, her mood not very high when the topic came up. "Maybe a little bit, but I can't hold them back, can I?"

"A powerful figure from the Chaoyang Holy Palace, so young, with a bright future."

"My lifespan is at least several thousand or tens of thousands of years, so there's no future for a nobody like me who can only live for a hundred years."

Xuan Li lived a very enlightened life. Regardless of the difference in their lifespans or their social status, she felt that she was not a good match for Hong Yue.

The disparity in status and strength is a chasm that is very difficult to overcome.

Feng Siyue understood this as well. "What do you plan to do?"

Xuan Li hung his head dejectedly, "I don't know."

"I originally wanted to break it off early before our feelings deepened, but then I thought about how you're going to Chaoyang Holy Palace in the future. What if I anger him and he makes things difficult for me?"

These were the words she didn't say yesterday.

Feng Siyue only accepted the trial token in order to find her parents. It would be a sin if she were to lose it because of her.

The girl opposite her was stunned for a moment. She hadn't expected that Xuan Li's hesitation stemmed from her.

"You don't need to consider me. If I force you to submit to him, I won't accept the consequences."

"Even if my seniors dislike me because of this, I will not regret it."

In the nearly six months that had passed, Feng Siyue had long regarded Ali as a good friend. She would rather not have sacrificed Ali's happiness for a smooth journey.

Both of them were thinking of the other.

Xuan Li didn't want this to put too much pressure on Feng Siyue. "It's not your problem. There was never any possibility between him and me."

"A son of heaven should not have a wife of an ordinary man."
