Preparing for the Future

A bead of sweat trickled down Xiao Yue's temple as she felt the weight of her master's gaze.

She could sense it. She was being teased by her. And it's giving her master more amusement than just seeing two new faces or reading something that could tickle her fancy.

In any case, Xiao Yue's heart raced a little faster as she had indeed been thinking of Xu Qi, wondering how he was faring or if he was able to sleep comfortably after returning.

Ever since the night they shared together, she had been completely enamored by him. And the feeling was mutual as the bond they shared was so intricate it connected them not just physically but also emotionally and spiritually.

It's like their fate had already been tied to each other. Their rise and fall, their joy and pain, their battles and victories were all intertwined. Xiao Yue felt a warmth in her heart that she had never felt before.
