They looked into each other's eyes and could not turn away anymore.
Bai Qiuxue had taken a very bold step on her part to express her feelings. Actually, when Lu Li went to the Heaven Martial Kingdom to seek revenge and she risked her life to save his life, she already realized she have developed feelings for him.
When Lu Li saved her at the Deserted World, bringing all the powerful warriors of the Northern Desert for her, she fell in love with him completely.
What more could she ask for when she met a man so worthy of her love?
Bai Qiuxue had figured out her feelings after staying at the Ling Empress City for two months. That was why she could be courageous in stating openly about how she felt.
Lu Li smiled. He felt fulfilled and inspired. He was not alone anymore. There were so many people with him. No matter how difficult the situation was, he had to power through and he had to prevent the world from falling apart for Bai Qiuxue and the others.
