Beneath the Fen Tian Qi Refining Tower, within the fiery barrier:
The burning flames resembled a woven curtain.
They tightly enveloped Xiao Yan and Medusa within.
Isolating a private world that belonged solely to them.
Medusa's cheeks looked as though they had been dyed by the evening clouds, flushed with a captivating red.
Her eyes were filled with a complicated mixture of shame, anger, and struggle.
Her heart was like a lake in a storm, roiling with waves.
Reason told her that she should immediately break free from the man before her!
Yet her body seemed bewitched, drawing uncontrollably closer to Xiao Yan.
"Xiao Yan, you... let me go!"
Medusa's voice trembled slightly as she tried to use those deliberately cold words.
To build a line of defense and conceal the panic in her heart.
Her heart was filled with conflict at this moment.
On one hand was her instinctive resistance to Xiao Yan's intimate actions.
On the other, an indescribable feeling quietly spread through her heart.
Xiao Yan chuckled, his smile as warm as the spring sun and filled with indulgence.
He extended a finger, his movements gentle as though he were touching the most precious treasure in the world.
He lightly brushed her cheek, and the delicate sensation sent ripples through his heart.
"Cai Lin, you clearly want this in your heart."
"Why insist on denying it?"
His fingertips slid over her cheek and down her neck.
Slowly moving lower, they lingered upon a patch of soft warmth.
The delicate, taut sensation made his heart beat faster.
Xiao Yan gazed at Medusa, his eyes filled with affection and the certainty of someone who saw through everything.
"Mm!"
Medusa let out a soft hum, affection flooding her wine-red eyes.
In the end, she did not push Xiao Yan's hand
