Queen Medusa's bewitching eyes fluttered as she gave a soft snort, but said nothing, allowing Lu Yunxiao's warm hand to stroke her cheek.
The familiar warmth from his fingertips gave Queen Medusa a reassuring sense of comfort.
In the end, only when this fellow was by her side could she truly relax.
Lu Yunxiao chuckled softly, gently caressing Queen Medusa's pretty face. The soft, smooth, tender sensation beneath his fingers was intoxicating.
