Aisha gently stood up and sat on Yuan's lap. Yuan could feel the soft sensation of her buttocks as she settled, and he gently wrapped his arms around her waist.
With a gentle smile on her face, she leaned her body against him and placed her hand over his, feeling her heartbeat grow stronger.

"And because of that, we've decided to travel across the world, searching for every ancient monolith or ruin left behind by the cultivators who once lived here millions of years ago."
