This time, Ao Ye was truly frightened by Lv Zhong.
Since Lv Zhong clarified things for her, saying, "As long as you don't want to marry, no one dares to force you!", Ao Ye had begun to develop feelings for Lv Zhong.
Later, when she was about to be taken away by the people of Yuxu Palace, Lv Zhong eliminated Yun Bufan with his magical means, which deepened Ao Ye's connection with him. Then, Lv Zhong hurried from Star City to Qiuyang City like lightning and used the force of thunder to eliminate the nine cultivators sent by Yuxu Palace to track her, thus allowing Ao Ye to truly be freed.
In Qiuyang City, Ao Ye truly understood her own heart. She realized that she had completely fallen in love with Lv Zhong and was unable to extricate herself.
This situation left her in disbelief and even shocked.
Before meeting Lv Zhong, Ao Ye would never have thought that she would fall in love so quickly and be irrevocably in love with a man nearly ten years younger than herself.
