Nalan Rongzhi led Lu Lingxi to a valley, where birds sang and flowers bloomed, and the spiritual energy was abundant, making it seem like a paradise. In the center of the valley, there was a crystal-clear spiritual spring, the water emitting a light mist, like a dream.

Lu Lingxi was gently placed into the spiritual spring by Nalan Rongzhi. After a short while, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes. The first thing she saw was Nalan Rongzhi's handsome and flawless face. He was gazing at her intently, his eyes full of worry.

“Rong Zhi…” Lu Lingxi’s voice was still a little weak.

"Yaoyao, you're awake." Nalan Rongzhi gently pulled her into his arms, his voice carrying a hint of barely perceptible tension. "How are you feeling?"

"It's alright, I'm just still a little weak." Lu Lingxi leaned against his chest, feeling his strong heartbeat, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart.

Nalan Rongzhi held her tightly, as if trying to meld her into his very bones. "From now on, I will never let you suffer any harm again." His voice was low and hoarse, with a slight, almost imperceptible tremor.

Lu Lingxi nodded, feeling the nourishment of the spiritual spring water, her fatigue gradually subsided. She raised her head and looked at Nalan Rongzhi, a hint of doubt in her eyes, "How did you suddenly appear?"

Nalan Rongzhi chuckled softly, placed a kiss on her lips, and said earnestly, "Yaoyao, I will appear whenever you need me."

His hot breath sprayed on Lu Lingxi's face, making her heart race. She turned her face away shyly and whispered, "Thank you, Rong Zhi."

Nalan Rongzhi took in her subtle movements, a smile flashing in his eyes. He gently lifted her chin, forcing her to look him in the eye.

"Yaoyao, you don't need to thank me. Protecting you is something I do willingly."

His voice carried a seductive power, and Lu Lingxi's eyes began to glaze over, as if she were about to drown in his deep gaze.

Nalan Rongzhi slowly approached her, their warm breaths mingling. He put one arm around her waist and gently stroked her long hair with the other, his movements tender and affectionate.

"Yao Yao..." he murmured her name, his voice hoarse and sexy.

Lu Lingxi closed her eyes, feeling his gentle touch. Ripples spread through her heart. She knew that she had completely fallen into his trap of tenderness and could not extricate herself.

The misty air from the spiritual spring enveloped the two of them in a hazy glow. Nalan Rongzhi's kiss landed on her forehead, her cheeks, and finally settled on her lips. It was a tender and passionate kiss, filled with deep affection. Lu Lingxi Yao's hands tightly encircled his neck, responding to his passion. Ripples spread across the surface of the spiritual spring, as if cheering for this intense and ambiguous moment.

After the kiss ended, a blush spread across Lu Lingxi's face, her eyes were dreamy, and she looked charming and beautiful. Nalan Rongzhi looked at her like this and felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

He held her tightly in his arms, rested his chin on the top of her head, and whispered, "Yaoyao, you are mine, and always will be."

Lu Lingxi didn't speak, but buried her head in his chest, feeling his warm embrace. At this moment, she just wanted to quietly snuggle up to him and enjoy this moment of peace and sweetness.

Nourished by the spiritual spring, Lu Lingxi's injuries gradually improved. In the following days, Nalan Rongzhi took care of her without leaving her side, feeding her spiritual fruits, combing her long hair, chatting and taking walks with her. The two were reunited after a long separation, and their hearts were filled with longing and love for each other.

On a moonlit night with few stars, Nalan Rongzhi and Lu Lingxi Yao nestled together by the spiritual spring, gazing up at the starry sky.

"Yaoyao, do you know? I think about you every day, I'm going crazy thinking about you." Nalan Rongzhi gazed at Lu Lingxi Yao with deep affection, his eyes sparkling like stars.

Lu Lingxi gave him a playful glare: "You smooth talker."

Nalan Rongzhi chuckled and hugged her even tighter. "I'm telling the truth, you know? Every time I'm on a mission, I imagine you're right beside me, giving me encouragement and strength."

"Really?" Lu Lingxi Yao looked up at him curiously.

“Of course it’s true.” Nalan Rongzhi nodded seriously. “You know what? Once, I was trapped in a formation and my life was in danger. Just when I was about to give up, I seemed to see you. You were standing in front of me, smiling at me and encouraging me not to give up. Then, I miraculously broke out of the formation.”

Lu Lingxi listened intently, her heart filled with emotion.

Taking advantage of the moment, Nalan Rongzhi kissed her lips tenderly and passionately. Lu Lingxi responded enthusiastically, and the two embraced tightly. The moonlight shone on them, like a light veil, enveloping this sweet scene.

However, just as the two were deeply in love, a violent explosion suddenly came from outside the valley, followed by a powerful surge of demonic energy that shattered the valley's tranquility.

Nalan Rongzhi's expression changed, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. He quickly shielded Lu Lingxi Yao behind him and looked warily toward the entrance of the valley.

"who?"

A cold voice came from outside the valley: "Nalan Rongzhi, how have you been?"

As the voice faded, a man dressed in a black robe with a cold and stern face slowly walked into the valley. Behind him followed dozens of men in black, each exuding a powerful aura and a murderous intent.

Lu Lingxi felt a chill in her heart, and an ominous premonition welled up inside her.

"You are... Nalan Hongyi?" Nalan Rongzhi's tone carried a hint of surprise.

“That’s right, it’s me.” Nalan Hongyi smiled coldly. “Nalan Rongzhi, you didn’t expect this, did you? I’m still alive.”

"You weren't with me..."

“You killed him? Heh, you’re too naive.” Nalan Hongyi interrupted him. “I knew you would make a move against me, so I prepared a double in advance, while I hid in the shadows, waiting for the best opportunity for revenge.”

Nalan Rongzhi's expression turned serious; he hadn't expected Nalan Hongyi to be so cunning.

"Nalan Rongzhi, today, I will make you pay for your crimes in blood!" Nalan Hongyi's eyes were filled with the flames of hatred. He waved his hand and shouted, "Kill them!"

Dozens of men in black rushed forward, surrounding Nalan Rongzhi and Lu Lingxi. These men in black all exuded a cold aura, clearly well-trained assassins.
