The journey could have been completed much faster by flying on a spiritual treasure, but Xiao Fengchen deliberately chose the slower method.
After all, a long journey meant more time alone with Su Hanying.
At least, that was what he had hoped.
Unfortunately for him, reality didn't cooperate.
The days passed one after another, and despite Xiao Fengchen repeatedly trying to create opportunities to grow closer to Su Hanying, she remained polite but distant.
He would try to start conversations.
She would answer courteously.
He would invite her to enjoy meals together.
She would sometimes agree, but always maintained a comfortable distance.
He would occasionally hint at his feelings.
She would smoothly change the subject.
A full week passed like this.
Eventually, the enormous carriage finally arrived at the gates of Radiant Sky City.
Xiao Fengchen looked out at the towering city walls and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Seven days… and I still haven't made any progress.
