Chapter 81 Extra Chapter 2 [VIP]

Returning to the illusion felt completely different from before. It was somewhat familiar, yet also somewhat strange.

The environment was familiar, but the feeling was unfamiliar. Perhaps it was because he had returned to the modern world, or perhaps it was because he could truly stay, so when he stood in this world again, he had a sense of unreality.

Standing where she had disappeared, Yin Chu Jiu reached out and touched the spot. Only when she could feel that it was real did the feeling subside slightly.

Yue Ling hugged Yin Chu Jiu from behind, his tall body enveloping her completely in his embrace. A long sigh rose from his chest to his throat. Yin Chu Jiu's body trembled, and she turned around to hug him back. Returning to this place, the young man's emotions were even stronger than hers.

He stopped thinking about it and suppressed all those emotions in his heart. Those emotions wouldn't affect him, but rather remind him of everything he had experienced. Coming back again, these emotions became all the more precious.

Each item contains all the experiences he and Yue Ling had shared, including bad memories, which have now become beautiful because of the present.

Thinking about this, Yin Chu Jiu's mood really improved. He couldn't help but smile, his emotions much calmer.

"Yue Ling, is this what you said you were going to show me?" Yin Chu Jiu asked, recalling what Yue Ling had said before.

Yue Ling nuzzled Yin Chu Jiu's head. His short hair felt fluffy against him, which felt very comfortable. "No, there's more."

Yin Chu Jiu asked curiously, "What else?"

“There are so many places, places we used to live, people you used to know, Yin Chu San, and Yin Chu Jiu’s parents. Do you want to see those people?”

"I want to!" Yin Chu Jiu said. "Shall we leave now?"

"Wait, before we go, I have something else to show you." Yue Ling released Yin Chu Jiu, his expression somewhat mysterious. He took out a small, antique-looking object from his pocket and asked, "Tell me first, what does this represent, what does it mean?"

What Yue Ling took out was none other than the ring that Yin Chu Jiu had left for him when she left the illusion!

Yin Chu Jiu: "!!!"

Yue Ling: "I asked around and found out that this is a storage ring that can store things inside. But I don't think it's a storage ring. If it's just a simple storage ring, why did you entrust it to me with such care in the first place?"

Everyone in modern times knows what a ring represents and what it means. It signifies things like "I love you" or "Marry me." At the time, he thought he would never come back, so he gave this ring to Yue Ling as a desperate attempt to express his feelings. Inside the ring was also his diary.

At the time, he thought that if Yue Ling didn't want to live, he might have to live for the sake of the ring. He never expected that he could actually come back. And not only that, the illusion was still preserved, so one day he could return to the illusion.

Not that he was contradicting himself, but Yin Chu Jiu genuinely felt that what he thought was a very affectionate act back then now seemed like nothing more than pretentious whining. If Yue Ling knew that there was even a diary inside, he would be mortified.

Wait a minute, after all these years, has Yue Ling ever discovered the diary inside the ring?

Yue Ling lowered her eyebrows, her beautiful eyes fixed on him, her dark pupils focused solely on him, her focused and gentle gaze falling on him, "So I think this storage ring has another meaning."

Yin Chu Jiu blushed slightly and grumbled, "I can tell you what the ring means, but you have to give me the ring first before I can tell you."

Yue Ling's eyes flickered. "Okay."

Yin Chu Jiu's eyes lit up. Yue Ling placed the storage ring in his hand. After taking the storage ring, Yin Chu Jiu was about to take out the diary inside and hide it. But as soon as he probed into the storage ring with his mind, another wisp of mind appeared in the storage ring. That wisp of mind followed his mind into the storage ring and found the diary with him.

Then, before Yin Chu Jiu could get to the diary, Yue Ling took it out.

"What is this?" Yue Ling asked, holding up the diary.

Yin Chu Jiu's face showed surprise. You can play with it like this?! Isn't it true that once a storage ring is bound to a user, only one person's consciousness can enter it?

As if sensing Yin Chu Jiu's surprise, Yue Ling smiled and said, "You forgot, I created this illusion. Everything in this illusion belongs to me, including this storage ring."

Yin Chu Jiu: "..."

Yue Ling's smile deepened. "That includes you too."

Yue Ling was very handsome, with delicate features. In his youth, he possessed a refined beauty, but as he grew older, his features became more defined, adding a touch of strength to his refined appearance. Having held a high position for a long time, he exuded an imposing and authoritative aura. He didn't actually like to smile, but when he did, the world seemed to lose its color.

It's so beautiful!

So romantic!

He suddenly remembered his friend who wrote romance novels. That's how he described his protagonists. If you put Yue Ling's image into that description, he would definitely be a typical Mary Sue male lead.

Yin Chu Jiu was so stunned by Yue Ling's beauty that he didn't notice that Yue Ling had already opened his diary and was reading it. Then, while he was still in shock, Yue Ling slowly read: "On March 8th, Yue Ling confessed to me. I was very nervous and felt it was a bit absurd. After all, I raised him myself. He is my son. What kind of son would confess to his father?"

Yin Chu Jiu snapped back to reality. Oh no! He had been so engrossed in writing his diary that he had actually written down his thoughts at the time.

Yue Ling raised an eyebrow, not bothering to roll her eyes any further. She lifted her eyelids and asked with a light laugh, "Dad? So this is what you thought of yourself before? You treated me like a son?"

Yin Chu Jiu felt awkward. Back then, he was older in mind and Yue Ling was younger, so he raised him like a son. Even if he wasn't a son, he was still a younger brother, a junior.

But now, not only is Yue Ling taller and stronger than him, but according to the age in the novel, Yue Ling is also older than him. How can he still feel that Yue Ling is his son/brother?

Yin Chu Jiu felt secretly embarrassed, but Yue Ling put away the diary, bent down slightly, and brought his lips close to his ear. His hot breath hit his earlobe, and his deliberately lowered voice was low and deep, "Dad."

The forbidden, ambiguous tone instantly broke through Yin Chu Jiu's last line of defense, and BOOM—! Yin Chu Jiu's face turned completely red.

Yue Ling's cry sounded as if he were really his son, giving Yin Chu Jiu a momentary, forbidden thrill.

"No, don't call me that!" Not only that, his legs went weak.

Yue Ling's laughter grew even deeper as she cruelly pointed out the truth, preventing Yin Chu Jiu from escaping, "Your legs are weak."

Yin Chu Jiu blushed furiously.

"You get this excited just because I call you Dad?"

Yin Chu Jiu was speechless.

Yue Ling spoke again, her voice even lower, "Daddy~~"

Yin Chu Jiu's voice was as low as a cat's, "No, please don't call me that, I beg you."

“Okay.” Yue Ling agreed in surprise, but before Yin Chu Jiu could breathe a sigh of relief, she heard Yue Ling say, “Save it for next time. We’ll go somewhere else and have a good time.”

He thought it would be fine if he didn't call out to it, but Yin Chu Jiu was too naive. He had just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Yue Ling say again, "Alright, you can tell me what the storage ring means now."

Sure enough, he wouldn't let him off easily.

Perhaps because she knew Yue Ling so well, Yin Chu Jiu wasn't surprised at all. She coughed lightly twice and mumbled something in a low voice.

The voice was too low for Yue Ling to hear clearly, "Say it again."

"beg……"

"What do you want?"

"I'm going all out!" Yin Chu Jiu shouted loudly, "I love you, marry me!" (This is a proposal.)

The moment he uttered those words, the atmosphere froze. It wasn't Yin Chu Jiu's imagination; it truly froze. The falling leaves in the air, the birds flying in the forest, the swaying flowers and grass—everything seemed to freeze, and time itself stood still.

Yue Ling froze, his face full of astonishment. An emotion surged in his heart, an emotion that seemed alive, beating at the same frequency as his heart.

Full of vitality, reborn with renewed vigor.

He knew it was liking, but it was an emotion that was deeper than just liking.

"Ninth day." Yue Ling's voice was so hoarse that he could barely speak. He said it almost pleadingly, "Say it again."

He doesn't care who proposes to whom, or who initiates the conversation; he only cares whether what they say is true.

Yin Chu Jiu pursed his lips, his shyness suddenly disappearing, replaced by a faint smile. He solemnly presented the ring to Yue Ling again and said, "Yue Ling, shall we get married? Marry me, or I'll marry you. Let's have a wedding and be together forever."

A smile appeared on Yue Ling's face, so gentle it almost brought tears to one's eyes. He said, "Okay, let's get married."

So... this trip to the illusion, which was originally planned to visit Yin Chu San, Yin San Niang, Yin San Shu, and others, was ruined because of Yin Chu Jiu's marriage proposal.

However, Yin Chu Jiu and Yue Ling had no complaints about the failure. They quickly left the illusion, got out of bed, and instructed Zi Zhuo and the others to prepare for the wedding.

A wedding? What's that?

Things developed too quickly, and Zizhuo and the other two hadn't had time to react.

Yue Ling said with a stern face, "My wedding with Chu Jiu."

Zizhuo and the other two understood, but they still felt things were moving too fast. Holding a wedding requires matching horoscopes, choosing an auspicious date, sending out invitations, and inviting guests.

Yue Ling's suggestion to hold a wedding is too much; we need to give them time to prepare.

After discussing it amongst themselves, Zizhuo and the other two pushed the meticulous Moling out to report the matter to Yueling. Moling lived up to expectations and gave his report.

"My lord, we've checked the dates, and the most auspicious times for marriage are the third day of next month, the tenth and the twentieth of the month after next. Which one do you think is better?"

As expected of the one with the lowest emotional intelligence, Zi Zhuo and Black Cat couldn't help but cover their faces. Which one is better? Of course, the one with the most recent date is better! Fortunately, Yue Ling was in a good mood and didn't hold it against him. She said with a seemingly cold but actually joyful expression, "The third day of next month."

"Alright." Mo Ling accepted the order. "Then I will go and make the preparations immediately."

And so, the storytellers of the Fantasy Demon Continent had a new subject to choose from.

#That cold-blooded, ruthless, and emotionless demon lord of Lingyue Palace is actually getting married!#
