Chapter 188: Confession (2/2)

Xuan’er turned and walked ahead, with Ning Wuxie following closely behind. Suddenly, the surroundings brightened and opened up, and the sound of water crashing against the lake from the waterfall echoed in the air. Xuan’er did not pause her steps and headed straight for the small wooden house.

The small wooden house had been built by two humans together and had not been maintained since. It was now in a state of disrepair, with missing door panels.

“Xuan’er, what are you planning to do?”

Ning Wuxie felt a bit confused and did not understand what Xuan’er intended to accomplish.

Was there something to be done here? The wooden house was dilapidated, and it was hardly a comfortable place.

Perhaps it was a girl’s sense of ritual; Xuan’er felt that this was the most sacred place for the two of them?

Ning Wuxie felt a headache coming on and began to think about how to respond.

Accepting meant that Xuan’er might kill herself after awakening.

Refusing could mean losing the last opportunity to be close to Xuan’er, leading to a future of forgetting each other.

There were still so many things to accomplish… The Heavenly Fragrance Charm Body had not yet awakened, had not become a powerful figure on the Immortal Path, and had not avenged Li Luobing.

He could not die!

But Xuan’er, he found it hard to let go.

With a conflicted heart, Ning Wuxie dragged his slow and heavy steps toward the wooden house, preparing to face Xuan’er’s dedication.

As soon as he stepped onto the rickety stairs of the wooden house, he was stunned by the scene before him.

The roof of the house had a large hole, and a beam of light shone into the dim interior, resembling a divine light descending, illuminating the dust floating in the air and making the space appear hazy and sacred.

Xuan’er stood with her back to him, bathed in the light, completely unclothed. Her snow-white skin reflected the light, and her exquisite figure was outlined with alluring curves, while a pair of pure and enticing dimples seemed to draw Ning Wuxie’s soul.

Ning Wuxie felt a bit parched, swallowed hard, and stepped into the wooden house.

Xuan’er turned around, looking at Ning Wuxie, and shyly smiled.

Ning Wuxie’s pupils involuntarily contracted.

“Brother.” Xuan’er called out sweetly.

“Have you seen your name?” She pointed to her left chest, where her heart was, and Ning Wuxie’s name was slowly appearing in three delicate characters.

“It’s too ugly.” Ning Wuxie stepped forward and covered it with his hand. “Xuan’er is so beautiful; it should be decorated with a beautiful painting.”

“I think it looks good,” Xuan’er said, pulling Ning Wuxie’s hand down. “This way, brother will be my ‘beloved’.” She smiled sweetly.

“This way, even if I become confused after awakening, I will remember who my beloved is.”

Xuan’er gazed affectionately at Ning Wuxie, her eyes seemingly weaving threads of silk. As her affection blossomed, the characters on her chest became more pronounced, glowing softly.

Xuan’er held Ning Wuxie’s hand against her chest, as if reluctant to let go, but when Ning Wuxie became aware of what was happening, he awkwardly withdrew his hand.

“Brother, help me put on the jewelry.” Xuan’er pointed to the wooden box in Ning Wuxie’s hand.

“Oh, right.” Ning Wuxie hurriedly replied, picking up the wooden box and clumsily opening it. Seeing Ning Wuxie’s dazed expression, Xuan’er smiled gently, though there seemed to be a hint of sadness in that smile.

Ning Wuxie unwrapped the packaging, opened the wooden box, and put the necklace, ring, and bracelet on Xuan’er one by one.

The jewelry reflected a dazzling luster, making Xuan’er appear even more like a fairy, sparkling all over.

“Xuan’er is really beautiful.” Ning Wuxie could not help but praise.

Xuan’er touched the necklace, then the ring and bracelet, her gaze firm, as if she wanted to engrave these items in her mind.

After a moment, she lifted her head and leaped into Ning Wuxie’s embrace.

“Brother…” At that moment, her voice finally carried a hint of tremor, speaking with a slight sob.

“Even if I really forget who brother is, brother will not abandon me, right?”

“Brother will come to find me, right?”

Xuan’er trembled, pressing tightly against Ning Wuxie.

“I am brother’s possession, forever will be. Do not let me leave you…”

Ning Wuxie held Xuan’er tightly, unsure of what to say…

“I know, from beginning to end, it was my own decision to like you, and I wanted to marry you. It’s because I have never seen someone as beautiful as you, and I am willing to be with you. I don’t know why, but after grandfather left, I really didn’t know what to do. What cultivation, what the Divine Spiritual Body, even going out to buy things, I didn’t understand anything. It was only because of brother that I could be here now…”

Xuan’er spoke incoherently, almost hysterically.

“Now, I can’t leave brother anymore. Although I am sixteen, I was only six years old when we first met. I didn’t understand anything. If I leave you, what should I do? I really don’t know!”

Xuan’er clung tightly to Ning Wuxie, tears streaming down uncontrollably, soaking his clothes.

“So, brother, I beg you, you are so powerful. Even if that girl in my mind is very bad, you can defeat her, right?”

“When there is still a trace of my consciousness in this body, can you come to find me and continue to be together?”

“I beg you!”

Ning Wuxie’s heart trembled, holding Xuan’er tightly.

She was too innocent. At the moment when she met the only person she could rely on in this world, she had found Ning Wuxie, who was willing to adopt and help her.

And the recently reborn Ning Wuxie was also a child, while Xuan’er was being hastened by the Divine Spiritual Body, leading the plot to become increasingly ambiguous.

Faced with Xuan’er’s humble plea, Ning Wuxie felt a surge of impulse in his heart, making him unable to hold back from stating a fact:

“Xuan’er, actually… when I met you in the slum, I recognized that you would become very powerful, which is why I adopted you.”

“So, my feelings for you are not that simple… I’m sorry.”

Xuan’er suddenly stopped crying, lifted her head, her eyes red and glistening with tears, her face wet with tears and snot.

“What about now?”

“Now…” Ning Wuxie looked into Xuan’er’s eyes, his expression somewhat melancholic. “Now, I would rather you be just an ordinary girl, so that we could have been together happily long ago.”

Xuan’er was momentarily stunned, then smiled and embraced Ning Wuxie again.

This was something she had thought about last night, but she did not expect Ning Wuxie to say it first. Xuan’er felt even warmer in her heart.

“Me too, otherwise you might have become a father by now.”
