As the transaction finished, the receptionist bowed her head and spoke "As they are all really rare ingredients, it will take a while to properly pack them and bring them here."
"If you could just wait a few minutes, I shall bring it to you."
Upon hearing this, Velnorah's gaze squinted "How long will it take?"
The receptionist panicked and replied "It will take at least... 30 minutes."
Velnorah smiled faintly "Then, I am leaving with Tian.. he will come and get his stuff later."
-_- Don't decide things for me...
With a soft sigh, he nodded his head "Okay."
As both of them stepped out of the Alchemy Chamber, Zhao Tian glanced at her "I think it's about time you say your true intentions."
Velnorah looked at him with clueless eyes and tilted her head "Hm? What do you mean, Tian?"
Zhao Tian's gaze narrowed and he turned to leave.
The encounter with Li Xueyan left a bitter taste in his mouth, and he refuses to believe any woman who shows him unconditional love.
Velnorah belonged to the same wing as Li Xueyan, which only added to his hesitation.
As he turned to leave, Velnorah hurriedly reached out and softly grasped his wrist "Wait..."
Zhao Tian took a deep breath to control his emotions and turned to look at her "Tell me what you need?"
Hearing his harsh tone, Velnorah's eyes quivered and the playful smile on her face faded "I am sorry if I am frustrating you..." her voice lowered and she let go of his hand.
Zhao Tian sighed in his heart as he didn't know if she was acting or really sad that he was harsh with her.
Velnorah also noticed his gaze and frowned 'Seems like he has a bad experience with women...'
Seeing her saddened face, Zhao Tian kind of felt guilty in his heart 'Haaaa, women are making my life harder.'
After a pause, Zhao Tian softened his tone slightly. "Miss Velnorah..."
She raised her gaze, her expression still tinged with sadness and seemed to come to a decision. "Come with me to my quarters."
She gently clasped his hand and flew up in the air.
Seeing this, Zhao Tian raised an eyebrow "I thought you shouldn't fly in the Sect grounds."
The playful smile on Velnorah's face returned and she hugged his arm tightly "Elders can fly around, so don't worry about that."
The Sect is stretched for kilometers, with each wing occupying a lot of space and thousands of students, so it took a while to reach Crimson Flame's wing.
Wtf? Zhao Tian was lost in her words and she continued...
Seeing his stunned silence, Velnorah's cheeks flushed a deeper shade of red and her fingers trailed to his jaw, her lips grazing his cheek again as she whispered "When I first saw you, I felt a tingle in my uterus and I know, you should be the father of my children."
I found someone crazier than Zahra.
That was the first thought in Zhao Tian's mind looking at her blushing face and her lips moving around over his cheek.
Her lips trembled as she rubbed her body onto him, her mind running wild and the blush on her face grew deeper.
"Making a baby with you... Just thinking about it is making me... haa..."
She let out a breathy sigh, and suddenly, *puchi* a small stream of blood dripped from her nose and Zhao Tian was startled.
"Are you alright?"
With a soft laugh, Velnorah reached into her storage ring, taking a handkerchief to dab at her nose. "I... I'm fine! I was just... so excited..."
She pressed the handkerchief to her nose, embarrassed yet still smiling. "My heart raced, and I guess the excitement went to my head."
She brushed away the blood with delicate care and looked up at him, her gaze softer. "You're worried about me."
Caught off-guard by her genuine reaction, Zhao Tian felt a faint warmth spread through him.
It was hard to tell if she was teasing or sincere, but there was a clear vulnerability in her eyes now.
"But I know." She placed a finger over his lips, silencing him, her eyes brimming with a determined glow.
"From the moment I saw you, Tian, I couldn't look away. You may not understand it, but I don't need you to. I'm drawn to you, and that's enough."
Zhao Tian found himself at a loss as Velnorah's sincerity was disarming, making it hard to brush her off entirely.
Her gaze lingered on his face, softening as she traced his jawline with a gentle hand and her eyes held his, filled with an almost childlike vulnerability hidden behind her boldness.
"I want to know you, Tian," she whispered, her voice tender.
"I want to see past the walls you hide behind. And maybe... maybe one day, you'll feel the same."
Her fingers trailed down, interlocking with his, and she squeezed his hand gently, her expression turning wistful.
Zhao Tian let out a breath, glancing down at their interlocked hands. "This is all too sudden, you barely even know me a-"

"Then give me a chance to," she replied, her voice steady.
