Chapter 61: Ye Chen wears the Green Hat
Zhen Yu, a traditional girl who had always held herself to the highest standards of virtue, now found herself in a situation she had never imagined. The Heaven's Desire Bloom had stripped away her inhibitions, leaving her exposed and vulnerable before Aric. He had taken something precious from her, something she could never reclaim, and yet, she felt no regret—only a deep, aching connection to the man who had saved her.
As she looked into Aric's eyes, she realized that her feelings for him had deepened into something she could no longer deny. The past events, the battles, the moments of shared danger—they had all woven a complex tapestry of emotions that now enveloped her. Aric was well aware of her growing affection, and he had carefully guided her down this path, knowing that her trust and loyalty would be essential to his plans.
