"Go on," Velnorah whispered, her voice low and enticing as she guided his hands higher, to the edge of her garment.


    "I won’t stop you."


    Zhao Tian was still unsure if Velnorah truly loves him or is she acting... as he still couldn’t get over the fact that Li Xueyan was from Velnorah’s wing and there are a large number of evil cultivators there.


    But... if she really likes him and he pushes her away, it would hurt her.


    As he glimpsed into her eyes, he could see the love and playful possessiveness overflowing from her.


    He let out a soft sigh, his fingers brushing against the knot of her robe.


    The warmth of her body radiated through the thin fabric, and he felt his resolve waver.


    Slowly, he began to untie the sash.


    As the knot came undone, the robe loosened slightly, slipping off her shoulders to reveal more of her smooth, pale skin.No?v(el)B\\jnn


    His gaze drifted downward, unable to resist the sight before him.


    Her figure was mesmerizing, from the gentle curve of her collarbone to the soft rise and fall of her chest.


    The peaks of her bosom were full and inviting, crowned with delicate pink buds that seemed to harden under his stare.


    Velnorah tilted her head slightly, a knowing smile playing on her lips as she caught the way his eyes wavered. "You’re staring," she teased, her voice lilting with amusement, though there was no trace of embarrassment in her tone.


    Zhao Tian smiled and his voice came out softer than intended. "It’s... hard not to."


    She leaned closer, her lips brushing against the shell of his ear. "Good. Because I want you to look. I want you to know that no one else sees me like this... only you."


    He lifted his hands, hesitating again before letting his palms rest lightly on her bare shoulders.


    Her skin was warm and impossibly smooth under his touch.


    She didn’t flinch or pull away; instead, she leaned into his hands, her expression softening.


    Slowly, he brought his lips to her collarbone, pressing a soft kiss against her skin.


    "Mmngh~" Velnorah gasped, her hands threading through his hair as his lips began to travel downward.


    Zhao Tian’s movements were slow, as his lips brushed against the curve of her neck before trailing down to the swell of her chest.


    He reached out, gently tracing his hand over the black tattoo.


    "You.. finally saw it."


    Zhao Tian looked up at her, and she muttered "This.. is a sign of purity."


    "Women in our High Star lineage, when we reach the age of twenty, this tattoo appears on our bodies. It symbolizes our purity and marks us as bound by tradition and fate."


    Zhao Tian’s fingers lingered near the tattoo, his thumb brushing her skin gently as he studied the design.


    Vampires are highly possessive beings and if they chose a partner, then they would be with that partner till the end of their life.


    And this mark is the blood bond connecting one to their partner.


    Reaching out, she gently took his hand and moved it closer to her mouth.


    Opening her lips, she gently nibbled on his finger and Zhao Tian felt a slight sting of pain radiating from his fingertip.


    At the tip of his finger, blood dripped down and Velnorah brought his finger to her crotch and stained his finger on the tattoo.


    Suddenly the blood spread around the tattoo as the inky black lines of the tattoo absorbed the crimson droplet, and the design shifted.


    The black faded into a deep, vibrant red that pulsed faintly.


    Velnorah gently caressed his cheek "It means the bond is formed. The blood of my chosen has awakened the mark."


    "From this moment, we are connected. My purity, my devotion... they belong to you alone. And in return, you are bound to me."


    Zhao Tian was completely taken aback to hear this and his lips parted slightly in surprise.


    His gaze dropped to the glowing crimson tattoo on her skin, its pulsing light dimming as it settled into its permanent form.


    "Velnorah..." he began, his voice low and uncertain. "I..."


    Before he could find the right words, she leaned forward, her face now inches from his "I know... that you are still doubting if my love is true or not..."


    "I understand that you are suspicious because I abruptly said that I love you. That it must have seemed sudden, out of nowhere."


    "So, I had no other choice but to prove my love to you.. in this way."
