Intimacy
It was quite ironic. In the past, as ridiculous as it may seem, he might not have hesitated. Just like he had once accepted the little princess of the Loom Clan as his fiancée despite all his previous bloviating, he wouldn't stall his cultivation progress for morals.
In the end, he was a man. Those actions simply meant less to him overall.
But… Now that he had accepted Ailsa, he didn't want things to be like this. There intimacy was still not deep enough and he didn't view her as a tool like he had in the past…
It just didn't feel right.
Ailsa's heart warmed seeing the thoughts in Ryu's mind. In truth, the moment she had chosen Ryu as her Life Partner, she had already given everything to him in her heart. Regardless of whether she gave him her virginity now or in the future, it didn't make a difference to her. They were tied as one from the very beginning.
