"I appreciate the hospitality, Sect Master," she said as she sipped her tea. "But I must return to my husband soon. We have much to discuss regarding our upcoming alliance."
Wang Li smiled, leaning back in his chair. "Of course, Lady Li. But before you go, allow me to offer you something to ease your mind. I understand that this alliance may be a heavy burden on you and your husband. Perhaps a moment of relaxation is in order."
Li Yue frowned slightly, sensing the shift in his tone. "I don't think that will be necessary—"
But before she could finish, Wang Li stepped closer to her, his presence overwhelming. His aura radiated power, seduction, and a dark, magnetic pull that was hard to resist. Li Yue felt her breath catch in her throat as he stood behind her, his hands lightly resting on her shoulders.
"You seem tense," Wang Li whispered, his voice low and hypnotic. "Let me help you relax."
