Chapter 32: Advancement, Showdown

Chu Zheng sat on the edge of the bed, staring at the wide-open door, silent for a long time.

A moment later, he stood up, walked to the courtyard, drew two buckets of well water, and took a cold shower to calm his nearly boiling blood and Qi.

Once that line was crossed, everything would change.

The relationship he had with Song Lingxue would never be just as it was now, and to extricate himself would not be so trivial.

If he could not withstand it, it would mean death.
