Bai Rouyun did not cultivate that night. She curled up in the bed and stared at the wall. She was not sure what to think about the fact that her family had appeared out of nowhere; there were some strange sentiments of fear and panic in her heart, and both happiness and disappointment.

She had always been alone in her past life. The one who was closest to her was Xue Jingyu, and he could never be considered her family, just a friend.

After her resurrection in this new body, she was hated by her family. She had given up on the idea of family affection, yet the other day she had suddenly felt that there might be a family somewhere out there who wanted her. A family who had left her to the Bai family for her own safety.

Now she found that it was not those people who had found her. Instead, it was the original Bai Rouyun's family, and she was quite sad.

When she needed them, they were not there, and now they wanted to control her.

She could not wait for Li Moyun to come and help her straighten out her mind.

She had not realized how important Li Moyun had become for her. Whenever she encountered trouble, he was the one whom she thought about.

The night went by in a blur. Bai Rouyun was lying on the bed, chaotic thoughts were flashing in her mind, and she could not make head or tail from them.

She usually was not a weak person, however, this time it was different. She was used to being by herself, to protect herself, and never to let anyone close.

Li Moyun and Xue Jingyu were special to her, but now her family appeared. She was not sure how to handle them.

Little Chu was standing outside her room, his brows were furrowed, and he was feeling worried. He had never before seen Bai Rouyun like this, and he did not know what was wrong with her, so all he could do was hope that Li Moyun would arrive as soon as possible.

The night came to an end, the sunshine broke through the horizon and cast its rays upon the tired face of Little Chu.

He would usually not show such a haggard expression after staying awake for one night, but today was different.

He had started to consider Bai Rouyun as family, and not just as a master, and thus he was simply too worried.

It was also at this time that Li Moyun burst into the house. He was hurried, and his eyes were full of worry.

"Where is she?" he asked Little Chu the moment he saw him, and Little Chu pointed at the door, moving to the side, not daring to say anything.

Li Moyun took a deep breath and calmed his nerves. He slowly pushed open the door and looked inside.

The room was shrouded in the morning sunlight, and a small figure was curled up in a ball on the bed.

She seemed to have fallen asleep without knowing when, but her position showed her lack of security.

Seeing her like this, Li Moyun felt his heart ache terribly.

He closed the door behind him and strode towards the bed, where he slowly sat down and gently touched her cheek.

Bai Rouyun slowly woke up; her eyes were unfocused and misty. When she saw Li Moyun, there was a flash of dependence towards him, and she unconsciously hugged him, burying her head in his chest.

Seeing her so dependent on him, Li Moyun's heart softened. He reached out his hand and began stroking her head. "It is okay," he gently said. "I am here now."

Bai Rouyun's hands clutched onto his clothes, and she pressed herself against Li Moyun. Seeing her like this, he gently kissed the top of her head.

"The Bai family from the Wishi Continent appeared and claimed to be the parents of the Ice Phoenix Bai Rouyun."

When Bai Rouyun spoke, her voice trembled. She could not get herself to call them her family, but the meaning was evident, and Li Moyun understood it.

His eyes turned dark and dangerous. He would not allow anyone to make Bai Rouyun sad, not even her real family.

"It is okay, I am here now," Li Moyun said gently. Bai Rouyun lifted her head and looked at the familiar and handsome face in front of her. He was the one who had caused her to feel secure, the one who had made her feel loved.

This person was someone she truly cared about, and her watery eyes glistened as she was lost in the tenderness within his eyes.

Li Moyun saw her losing her senses; he saw her distracted eyes, and lowered his head gently.

His lips landed on top of hers. At first, he had wanted to touch her gently, but when their lips touched, he felt his heart beating rapidly, and the addictive feeling was simply too good. He could not stop as they began rubbing their lips against one another, slowly licking, sucking, and nibbling.

His kiss was gentle and lingering, soft, and loving. There was no overbearingness or domineeringness; all of it was showing how much Li Moyun loved Bai Rouyun.

The kiss caused Bai Rouyun's mind to go completely blank. She allowed Li Moyun to kiss her as he pleased, her eyes were wide open, and she suddenly felt the tongue entering her mouth, entangling with hers, and making her forget all about her previous worries.

When they ended the kiss, Bai Rouyun's face was red, her eyes were misty, and it took her a long time to regain her senses.

Even Li Moyun was shocked by his actions, but he did not regret it. This was his wife, the woman he loved. He wanted to make sure that she knew how he felt about her.
