"Lingxi..."
Hearing her name, she turned to look at him and before she could say anything, he moved forward, sealing her lips with a kiss.
H-Huh?
Fei Lingxi's breath caught in her throat looking at the affection in his eyes and her eyes quivered as she slowly closed her eyelids, letting herself sink into the kiss.
Zhao Tian softly sucked on her lips and she raised her hand, placing it on his shoulder, her fingers curling upon the fabric of his robes.
Pulling back from the kiss, Zhao Tian smiled softly tugging a strand of hair from her face.
A tear slipped down her cheek, and she quickly brushed it away, her lips trembling. "Thank you," she whispered.
"I don't know if I'll ever be truly worthy of you, but... I want to be. I want to learn to love, to let go of my past, and to... to be someone you can be proud of."
Zhao Tian sighed in his heart and he knew exactly what kind of words a vulnerable woman like her needs to hear now.
"Lingxi... Redemption doesn't come from forgetting the past or pretending it never happened. It comes from who you choose to be now."
"The woman sitting beside me now is not the same person she once was. You've changed. That's worth more than anything you could ever do to redeem the past."
She looked up at him, her gaze filled with a mixture of gratitude and relief, as if a heavy weight had finally been lifted from her shoulders.
Her shoulders relaxed, and she leaned into him, resting her head on his chest, as he gently patted her head.

After a few minutes, she slowly pulled away from his embrace and caressed the tears from her cheek as a bright smile bloomed on her face.
Zhao Tian wrapped his arm around her neck and pulled her closer "Let's enjoy our date."
"Yes, Master..."
...
The night sky stretched like an endless canopy above them, and soft lanterns hung along the cobbled streets, casting a warm, golden glow over everything, as Zhao Tian and Fei Lingxi walked side by side through the moonlit streets.
They continued down the street, passing by little shops with wooden signs swaying gently in the breeze. The mingled aromas of baked goods and fragrant teas wafted from open windows.
Her gaze softened and she leaned forward, placing another kiss on his lips "I love you, Master..."
*swoosh* She disappeared from there and Zhao Tian stood up stretching his arms.
"i should return to my room..."
...
As Zhao Tian returned to his room in the sect, he saw a familiar figure standing outside his door, arms crossed, her expression a mixture of worry and frustration.
"Jia."
Li Jia turned her head and hurriedly walked to him "Where have you been?"
With a wry smile, he replied "i was quite busy in the Alchemy chamber and went out for a bit. What happened?"
She hastily grasped his hand and pulled him towards his room "Come with me, Tian."
As Zhao Tian stepped into the room, the soft glow of room light flickered, casting dancing shadows across the walls.
"What's going on, Jia?" he asked, his voice soft with concern.
Eh?
But he was startled as Li Jia suddenly began to remove her robes.
Slowly, she began to untie the sash around her waist, letting her outer robe slip down her shoulders and pool softly around her feet.
Seeing her half naked figure in the dim light, Zhao Tian's eyes traced her seductive physique, her alluring curves, and her supple thighs.
Li Jia let out a small laugh, breaking the silence. "Don't stare too much, you pervert..." she murmured with a playful, almost teasing smirk, though her cheeks flushed with warmth.
But Zhao Tian could only watch, captivated, as her hand moved to the back of her neck.
Her fingers trembled slightly as she untied the clasp of her inner garment, allowing the fabric to slide slowly down her shoulders, revealing her ample blossom perched with a pair of pink buds.
His gaze fell on the dark black mark spreading on the valley of her cleavage, which is flickering with evil energy.
