A man who often embraces different girls must know very well that there is a distinct difference in feeling between holding a slender girl and a voluptuous one!
And when Lin Rui gently held Wutong in his arms, her graceful figure was surprisingly delicate. He wanted to protect her, like a tender lily. An irrepressible desire to shield her from any harm or grievance surged within Lin Rui.
At this mont, ti seed to stand still, and the air was filled with a faint fragrance unique to Wutong, fresh and enchanting. High-end perfus paled in comparison to this natural, refreshing scent.
Finally, I've embraced the Empress! Throughout the Plane War, I've fought so hard, faced so many challenges, all for this mont.
The air was extrely tranquil, and Lin Rui could hear the slightly slow heartbeat of Wutong, much like her sowhat uneasy deanor.
To ease the almost stagnant air and to divert her attention, Lin Rui asked, "What do we need to do next?"
Wutong quietly let him hold her. She didn't embrace back, but she didn't resist either, and softly replied, "Wait for you to beco a god."
Seeing that Wutong didn't reject his gesture, Lin Rui imdiately dared for more. His right hand slid down to encircle her slender waist, and he stared into her eyes, asking, "Then there's no problem with kissing my fiancée, right?"
That's a question only a pure-hearted young man would ask!
What do you expect the young lady to respond with?
So although Lin Rui said he was asking, he just kissed her right after he finished speaking.
This totally gave Wutong an excuse not to hit him.
Lin Rui's heart raced as he carefully and cautiously leaned in for the kiss. The mont their lips touched, it felt soft with a subtle coolness, like morning dew on newly blooming petals, carrying a fresh, gentle chill.
Wutong's reaction wasn't intense. Her eyes still held that unique icy calmness and depth, like thin ice on a lake, transparent and serene, not easily revealing inner emotions. Under Lin Rui's gentle kiss, her lips slightly moved, like a willow swaying in the wind, gentle and compliant, yet not actively reciprocating.
This touch of coolness and calmness wasn't a refusal but more like an instinctive self-protection. Clearly, the Empress was accustod to keeping such a distance to prevent anyone from easily reaching the softness deep in her heart.
Since it was the first kiss, Lin Rui wisely decided to be content with this short yet delicate kiss, which was enough to linger in his thoughts for several days.
He didn't go further to avoid incurring the Empress's wrath.
Wutong indeed kept her promise; she wouldn't resist sothing she agreed to.
And with the first ti done, the next won't be far away.
Lin Rui happily held her hand and said, "Now you're also the mistress of this territory. Let's attend the celebration together. These soldiers will fight for you in the future."
Wutong didn't refuse. Holding her right hand, he led her out of the palace. The crimson palace attire of the Twelve Flower Gods fluttered in the wind, finally adding a touch of brightness to her usual cold deanor.
As Lin Rui led Wutong out of the palace, it was just when the lanterns were being lit.
Lei heard the footsteps in the palace and imdiately turned to look. In the next mont, her eyes widened in disbelief, not only because the two who walked out were a perfect match of beauty and talent, but more because she was shocked by Lin Rui's boldness.
Is he crazy? Daring to hold the Empress's fair, pure hand.
The key point was that the Empress didn't struggle and was just led by him, one step behind, out of the palace.
By the ti Lin Rui led Wutong out, the celebration in the territory had already begun. Philicia, deserving of her title as a great chef, served dish after dish of gourt food to the table like flowing water. The excited soldiers, enthusiastic locals, and nurous n and won sward around each banquet table, helping themselves to the sumptuous food.
Seeing Wutong's figure, the soldiers imdiately cheered with excitent.
This is the true goddess walking amongst us, the Princess who protects them!
The Plane War made the soldiers all too aware of the profound protection that the Princess's Blessing brought them!
It can be said that without the Sub-Invincible Shield, most of these soldiers present wouldn't have returned.
Every soldier who ca back to life considered all this as a miracle, frantically becoming followers of the Empress.
Being willing to die for the Empress is everyone's true sentint.
At this mont, Lin Rui didn't dampen everyone's spirits with a speech. They've been following him for a long ti because he unites people with victory, not by stirring morale with words.
So Lin Rui held the Empress's hand and stood before everyone to introduce her, "So of you may already know Wutong, and for so, this may be the first eting. But today, I must solemnly introduce her to all of you, she is the mistress of the territory, and through marriage, we will closely bond together. From now on, we fight for the sa goal!"
"Today, we stand here not only to celebrate victory but to rember those glorious monts that belong to us. Yet, glory is not the endpoint but a new starting point. Our mission is far greater than we imagine. Our territory needs developnt, our ho needs guarding, our future needs us to pioneer. This isn't just a victory in a war, but a struggle concerning our shared destiny!"
