Wang Li and Xia Qingwu soared through the air, the setting sun painting the sky in fiery hues. A group of Xia Family guards followed discreetly behind them, maintaining a respectful distance to allow for privacy. The tension of the recent encounter had eased, replaced by a comfortable silence that blossomed into something more.
Qingwu, a playful glint in her eyes, stared at Wang Li. "You know," she said, her voice laced with a hint of flirtation, "I'm glad you're coming back to the manor with me."
Wang Li chuckled, a warm smile spreading across his face. "The feeling's mutual, Qingwu. Spending some time with you after all this… it's something I was looking forward to as well."
Turning serious, he asked, "So, how does it feel, being a Nascent Soul cultivator?"
