After the incident with Joel, Raylan invited Phoebe to the backyard one evening to enjoy the moonlight,
She found Raylan sitting on a stone bench, who looked ethereal as if he might fly up high to touch the moon.
Phoebesar across from hum, glancing at the wine she had brewed on the table. “You seem to be in high spirits today, Raylan,” she remarked.
Raylan poured her a glass of wine and smiled. The moonlight is particularly beautiful tonight”
Phoebe twirled the glass in her hand. “Do you have something in tell me?”
Raylan nodded.
Lhis smile deepening “You’ve always been perceptive, Phoche, Tim Iraving. Tonight’s moon viewing is also my farewell
Phoebe was surprised “Leaving Where are you going?”
lan Jowed his voice. “At the chasm of Lyl Pit I discovered a secret. Deep within it, there’s a barrier, a passage i to another world. I’ve heard that our master accidentally fell into this world from there. That world has some special energy we lack. So I want to go there and see it for myself”
Phoebe was taken aback. “So that’s the true purpose of the crack.” She wasn’t skeptical about the existence of another world after experiencing many other worlds herself during her travels. Can you break through the barrier?” she asked, knowing Raylan’s penchant for seeking thrilli
e who’ve
Raylan nodded. “I actually crossed it once. My unique constitution allows me to bypass the barrier. Inside, there is a passage that only those reached the Ascendance Realm can withstand. I meet all the conditions.
Phoebe raised her glass with a smile. Then I wish you an exciting life in that world.”
Ravian clinked his glass with hers. Thank you.
He had no attachments here, so he was eager to explore. The only person he cared about was Phoebe
He paused and said, “Once you resolve your regrets and reach the Ascendance Realm, you can have the Dying serpent take you through the crack. I suspect its ancestors came from there and its unique aura allows it to bypass the barrier.”
Phoebe wasn’t surprised because she had suspected as much. “What regrets do you think I have?” she asked with a smile.
Raylan chuckled. “Love and friendship, I guess. I can leave anytime because I have no attachments bere. But you have too much holding you back, so you can’t leave now”
He paused and continued, “Don’t overthink and just follow your heart. Like him so be together. One day he gets old and those you care about have passed o on there will be nothing to stop you, and then you’ll be free to join me.”
Phoebe understood what he implied. “Tim not overthinking, I just didn’t wankio get him involved until the dangers were gone.” She had always been decisive in matters of the heart
She smiled. “Thank you for your enlightenment. I really can’t let go of many people and things. When it’s about the proper time, I’ll find you just make sure you’ve made a name for yourself by then, so you can take care of me and be nh:
Raytan Laughed. “No problem.”
They spent the night drinking and chatting under the moonlight. At dawn, Raylan left

Thorbe on the other hand, was
particularly worried about being sported either, but she appreciated Maddox’s thoughtfulness and enjoyed his || car, which was something that Reece had never given her. In the past, it was always her worrying about how her actions might affect him.

After dinner, they each went to their rooms to shower and freshen up Phoebe, after drying her hair, found the night too beautiful to waste. She slipped into a strappy nightgown and went to the bow of the yacht to admire the moon and the stars.
After a while, Maddox appeared with a bottle of wine and two glasses. “Pherbs, a drink?” he asked, shaking the glass slightly. Tonight, he planned to confess his feelings, and he was nervous but determined.
Phoebe took the glass and said with a unile. “Let me do it”
They sat side by side in the deck, sipping wine and enjoying the tranquil night.

Maddox, immediately responded, “Of course, I don’t mind. I never tried to maintain the image as a single guy. I joined the industry more for fun. I don’t care about the impact. If people stop liking me because we’re together, or if they say anything bad about you, then I’d rather leave those fans.
“You’re the only one I care about” He appreciated his fans, but his life and freedom were his own to decide.
Phoebe smiled and pinched his cheek. “Then let’s find the right moment to go public.”
Maddox’s eyes lit up with an idea. “How about during the live recording of the show next week? We can announce it then”
Phoebe knew exactly what he was thinking–he wanted to make their relationship official in front of a live audience, She didn’t call him out on it and simply agreed. “Sure”
Their trip had already been caught by paparazzi, and rumors of their relationship had trended on social media. Neither of them addressed it or had the post caken down
