Zhao Qingxue, adorned with a phoenix crown draped in rosy light, stood before Hou Yuxiao with a layer of red silk covering her head. She said nothing, simply walking quietly to Hou Yuxiao's side, gently raising her hand to tap his mouth tenderly three times.
"I've made a vow with the Demon Path's heart. These three taps won't do anything!" Hou Yuxiao teased with a quirky expression, meaning to amuse Zhao Qingxue. But just as the words left his lips, he saw her shoulders tremble, and then from beneath the red silk, came her faint sobbing.
The slightest sound of weeping instantly touched the deepest recesses of Hou Yuxiao's heart!
Up to that moment, Hou Yuxiao had never felt that Zhao Qingxue genuinely loved him. He still believed that all of her reactions were because of the Life and Death Entwining Love Gu.
And for that very reason, he felt an even stronger desire to protect her.
