Her words stunned everyone. Kian went rigid, silently reciting calming mantras in his head. “This has to be some illusion conjured by a demonic cultivator,‘ he thought..

But his usually steady mind was a mess. He couldn’t even get the mantras right, stumbling over them, and they didn’t work. The scene wouldn’t fade–if anything, it got worse.

Nyx studied her partner’s face, turning it side to side. She called his name a few times, but he didn’t respond, like his soul had checked out. So, she took a page from the prince waking Snow White and bit his lip.

“Nyx!” The Voss family snapped out of it, faces red with fury. They charged forward to yank her down. “What are you doing? Nyx! You’re engaged! If the immortal lord finds out, you’re in for it!”

They lunged at her, but Kian finally moved. One arm held Nyx tight, the other blocked their grabs with quick precision, dodging so they couldn’t touch a hair on her head.

Even with his spiritual roots ruined, he’d once been a genius with his body too. These mortals couldn’t match him.

roots. He didn’t just train his spirit–he’d forged

They flailed and clawed, exhausting themselves, panting like dogs. Seeing they couldn’t touch Kian, they switched tactics, shouting threats. “We don’t know what spell you’ve put on Nyx, stop now! You’re the last of the Linden family–shouldn’t you be hiding? You dare mess with the bride of an immortal from Feather Sun Palace? You’re dead!”

Sure, he had some skills, but that only worked against mortals like them. A real immortal would crush him in a heartbeat.

After the scuffle, Kian came to his senses, realizing this wasn’t a dream or illusion. He got antsy, his whole body heating up. The girl in his arms was impossible to ignore, taking over his every thought. ‘So sweet. So soft, he thought.

The Voss family was screaming their heads off, but it went in one ear and out the other. It took him forever to catch what they were saying. Immortals or death–he wasn’t scared of either. But he couldn’t drag Nyx down with him.

“Hurry, take me away,” Nyx whispered in his ear, seeing the conflict in his furrowed brow. “They’re trying to marry me off to some lecher as his concubine. No way I’m going.”

After sorting through her memories, she figured out her place in the Voss family. She was still a pitiful little nobody–just with fancier wrapping.

She wasn’t a cherished daughter, just a polished trinket, raised to be sold off. The Voss family dolled her up to offer her to some big shot. So, she felt no guilt about running off and eloping.

For years, Kian was the talk of the region–a cultivation prodigy. His name carried more weight than that distant ancestor of the Voss family.

The Voss family had cashed in big–time on their engagement to him, owing him plenty. Now they turned their backs, too stingy to even give him a place to crash.

“Let’s get out of here,” Nyx urged. She didn’t want to stick around either. She was ready to flee with her partner to the ends of the earth.

Hearing about her arranged marriage, Kian froze, then anger flashed across his face. He hadn’t gotten mad when they insulted and chased him off, but these greedy jerks trying to pawn Nyx off to some old creep lit a fire in him.

No third nudge needed. He stepped up, shielding her with his broad back from the Voss family’s nasty glares, grabbed Bobby, and strode off.

“Stop!”

“Don’t go! Leave Nyx!”

Even though her fiancee was a flirt, he was a cultivator. If she won his favor, even a crumb of his blessings would set her up for life–and the Voss family would rise with her.
