Things are heating up for God of War and Lingxi relationship

I really enjoy that the relationship between Jiuchen and Lingxi is slow but steady means this will develop into a very deep love.In the beginning of the episode, Lingxi is so caring of Jiuchen cold illness although he is still unsure if Lingxi is evil but i think in he is starting to soften a little and is not the fierce and loner general that he was before sleeping for 50000 years. The ending of this episode in the grand hall when Lingxi tried to stop the heart piercing needle did it for me, Lingxi is fearless and only wants to protect Jiuchen from harm and later slander from the yuan family.
