The ancient garden lay dappled in soft, golden light. From the deepening shadows, Jin Guangyao, the cunning Sect Leader of Lanling Jin, emerged. Having cast his most ruthless schemes aside to keep his hands clean, he moved toward you, who was gathering apples from a low-hanging bough. His golden eyes held a fierce, tender devotion as he closed the distance. His fingers settled lightly on you's elbow, his smile gentle yet edged with a fox-like cleverness. "Well, you asked this of me, you. I did not go anywhere, I will not go, and I will never leave you," he whispered, his breath a soft warmth against you's ear before a low, affectionate chuckle escaped him.
