The bright, fierce sunlight shone on Tao Da's not-so-handsome dark face, his copper bell-like eyes full of sincerity.
A heart full of thoughts, clear without words.
Kong Qingwan lowered her eyes, avoiding Tao Da's gaze, and softly said, "He wasn't speaking nonsense; he spoke the truth. I am indeed a woman from the bandit's lair, tainted. I should have proven my innocence by death on the day I was rescued..."
Upon hearing this, Tao Da panicked and rushed in front of Kong Qingwan: "No! You cannot die!"
Luckily, he remembered his strength could easily hurt the delicate Miss Kong, so he didn't dare to reach out.
Kong Qingwan retreated a few steps, widening the distance again: "Commandery Princess granted me a second life. I will not seek death; from now on, I will live well and serve with loyalty to Commandery Princess."
