Mu Ruyue didn’t say much, but an unnoticed glimmer flashed in her eyes. Her lips curved into a faint arc, and she spoke in a calm voice, "I’ve never seen a Demon Beast war before. Perhaps, this is quite an opportunity. Feng Jingtian, this time, I will stay here..."

It’s not just for the Demon Beast war, but also to obtain the position of Lord...

Feng Jingtian wanted to say something, but ultimately chose to remain silent. Those red eyes, however, were fixed tightly on Mu Ruyue, as if wanting to engrave the woman before him into his marrow...

"Woman, we haven’t met for many years." 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Feng Jingtian lifted the corners of his lips, forming a breathtaking arc, "All these years, in order to catch up with you, I’ve worked hard to climb upward, only then can I be qualified to stand by your side."

Mu Ruyue’s heart trembled slightly as she turned to look at Feng Jingtian, a hint of astonishment in her eyes.

But she said nothing and smiled faintly, "Feng Jingtian, you have made great progress over the years..."

Divine Sovereign Peak!

She hadn’t expected that in just a few years, this man would be able to grow to this level...

Feng Jingtian’s smile grew more charming, his Phoenix Eyes fixed on the woman before him, with no trace of the initial bloodthirsty gleam but instead, a gentle affection that was impossible to ignore...

Over the years, his feelings for her had never changed, but now, he had learned to suppress them...

"Woman, this time, I just want to see you, but I don’t want you involved in this matter. After all, the Supreme’s strength is too strong, you might not be his match, so..."

Mu Ruyue slowly turned her head, her gaze directed toward the sky outside the door, her smile serene yet filled with determination and confidence...

"Feng Jingtian, we’ve known each other for so many years, when have I ever done anything without assurance? No matter what, I must meet this Lord!"

Seeing her back as brilliant as years ago, Feng Jingtian’s eyes showed a touch of daze.

This woman seemed to be excellent and dazzling at all times, someone he could never truly reach...

"Alright, I believe in you. But, woman, if you’re not his match, then when I tell you to leave, you must leave this place!" Feng Jingtian lifted his head, his enchanting look adorned with a captivating smile, capable of paling all creation, "Because, I owe you."

He owed her a life.

And should repay it with a lifetime...

Mu Ruyue’s steps paused slightly, but she finally vanished without looking back into those Phoenix Eyes...

Feng Jingtian kept watching the direction in which the woman left, unable to come back to himself for a long time...

In the courtyard, Bai Ze stopped his steps, looking at Mu Ruyue, his gaze filled with gentleness.

"Yue, he hasn’t given up on you..."

Even if he suppressed it deeply, Bai Ze could still feel it clearly.

That man’s feelings...

Mu Ruyue’s steps paused slightly. She looked up at the azure sky, a smile with a tinge of faintness on her lips.

"I know... So, I will keep a certain distance from him, not too close. Yet, if it weren’t for Feng Jingtian’s rescue back then, I might not have made it to Huaxia smoothly, so between him and me, we remain friends, but nothing more."

This life, her feelings, her body, all belonged to that one person, except for him, she could not accept anyone else...
