Praying for love and marriage

Peng Xiu, ever the intruder, chimed in without a hint of awareness. "We will come too! Let's go together." Xiang Yu's smile vanished not at her words, but that Han Xin had already pulled his hand back.

The four of them excused themselves and walked towards the grand hall where the temple of the Goddess of Love and Marriage was located. Han Xin was forced to walk a bit further away from Xiang Yu. He watched the four of them walk into the grand hall.

Just as he was about to follow with the other attendants, the priest in charge stopped them, saying it would be too overcrowded. This meant that only Xiang Yu, Sirius, Peng Xiu, and Sienna could enter.

Xiang Yu glanced back at Han Xin, reassuring him with his eyes. Han Xin's tense shoulders relaxed, and he stepped back, waiting with the others. Inside the temple, the air was fragrant with the scent of rare flowers, and the gentle sound of water flowing from the sacred fountain added to the tranquillity.
