Bei Ming Haotian looked at Nangong Ziyan strangely. That's right! She hadn't seen his true face yet. But Bei Ming Haotian didn't reach out to remove the mask; he just stood there quietly.
Nangong Ziyan boldly and slowly reached out to remove the mask from Beiming Haotian's face. Beiming Haotian did not stop her and let Nangong Ziyan take it off.
Nangong Ziyan stared intently at Beiming Haotian. It really was him. He was Tian'er. She couldn't forget his lonely, pained eyes, the eyes behind the mask, and the moment from that day.
His features were exquisitely beautiful, with delicate eyebrows, cherry-colored lips, and snow-white skin. A few strands of long hair swayed in the wind, and his deep black eyes held a cool and alluring quality. His eyes were slightly upturned, as if they could steal one's soul with their beauty. He was so beautiful that Nangong Ziyan had never seen such a handsome man before. "A gentleman like jade, unparalleled in the world" was simply not enough to describe his beauty.
However, Nangong Ziyan was more excited than anything else. It turned out that he was right beside her, but she hadn't recognized him. Only then did she realize why her master had left. It was because Tian'er was right beside her, and he couldn't explain it to her. That's why he thought of taking her to see him on the fifteenth of next month. The fifteenth of next month, the night of the full moon, was exactly when the demonic energy in his body would flare up. Just thinking about this made Nangong Ziyan feel sad.
"How is it, Yan'er? Are you satisfied with my appearance?" Bei Ming Haotian smiled wickedly, his voice gentle yet alluring. His smile made everything else pale in comparison. He never expected that Nangong Ziyan would recognize him.
Nangong Ziyan was momentarily stunned, then nodded. "Satisfied, a hundred percent satisfied. Come on, Haotian, quickly put on the mask." Such a handsome man, only she should know.
Bei Ming Haotian shook his head and chuckled, looking at her anxious appearance, as if she wanted to hide him away.
Turning around, Nangong Ziyan suddenly remembered something, and felt a pang of disappointment. Haotian had said that he had a woman he liked.
Nangong Ziyan looked up at Beiming Haotian and mustered her courage to ask, "Haotian, do you really have a woman you like?" Nangong Ziyan asked again, still not believing it. As the saying goes, "It's easy for a man to pursue a woman, but easy for a woman to pursue a man." Since she had been thinking about him all along, it goes without saying that she had fallen for him. Now that she had met him again, she felt a strong urge not to give up. She really wanted to muster the courage to try to win over the man she had been thinking about for sixteen years.
"So what if I have it? So what if I don't?" Bei Ming Haotian smiled teasingly, staring at Nangong Ziyan's face with great interest. He wanted to tease her as he watched her expressions change from happy to disappointed.
"If there is one, Yan'er would like to meet her. If not, how about Yan'er marries you?" Nangong Ziyan said with a shameless smile, though her heart was pounding. Having lived two lives, she had never been pursued by a boy, but instead, she was the one pursuing a man and confessing her feelings to him first. Oh! Are there any transmigrated women as tragic as her? But she couldn't control her heart that kept moving closer to Haotian!
Bei Ming Haotian's expression suddenly turned serious. He looked at Nangong Ziyan in astonishment. The world avoided him, shunned him, hated him, and resented him, but she wanted to marry him. This made it impossible for him to calm down. He said seriously and sincerely, "Yan'er, do you understand the true meaning of marriage? This is not a child's play, not something to be said casually..."
"Haotian, Yan'er isn't just saying this casually; Yan'er is serious. Although Yan'er is a bit clumsy, Yan'er is an excellent cook! Isn't it said that if a woman wants to win a man's heart, she must first win his stomach? Besides, Yan'er can do many other things too. Actually, apart from her poor cultivation, Yan'er is very clever in every other way." Nangong Ziyan interrupted Beiming Haotian, her face also serious. She really wasn't just saying it offhand; she was acting on her gut feeling. When she recognized him, the excitement she felt was indescribable.
"Bang...bang!" Bei Ming Haotian felt his heart pounding wildly. His heart, which hadn't surged for so many years, was now filled with turbulent waves. He had also waited for her for sixteen years. In their short acquaintance, he had fallen in love with her without hesitation. But Bei Ming Haotian couldn't imagine what Yan'er would think if she saw him like that on the night of the full moon.
The white-clad man sitting on the tree nearly fell off upon hearing Nangong Ziyan's words. Had the world changed? How could the world have changed so drastically in just a few days? First, Haotian had run away, and his adoptive father had taken on a disciple. He had chased after him all the way here, and just as he caught up, he heard this shocking news, leaving him completely bewildered. He stared in astonishment at the two people below. A woman actually said she wanted to marry Haotian. If he hadn't heard it with his own ears, he would never have believed it.
He was Tian Haoze, the adopted son of Tian Nanxing, who was also Bei Minghaotian's good friend and brother. Tian Haoze looked to be about twenty-five or twenty-six years old. He had a square jaw, clear eyes, and slanted eyebrows. His face was very handsome, but he also gave people a sense of dignified bearing. He was a rare and handsome man. Tian Haoze looked at Bei Minghaotian nervously.
He muttered under his breath, "Hurry up and say yes! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, say yes!" Tian Haoze looked on anxiously, even more so than Bei Minghaotian.
"Haotian, why aren't you answering Yan'er...?" Nangong Ziyan looked at Beiming Haotian with a cute and nervous expression. Had she failed on her first confession? She would be heartbroken.
"Little girl, what are you thinking about? Let's go!"
Bei Ming Haotian smiled bitterly. It wasn't that he didn't want to marry her, but...
"Bang!" Nangong Ziyan heard the sound of her heart breaking. She had really been rejected. For a moment, Nangong Ziyan was filled with sadness and sorrow.
"Bang...!" At the same time, a white figure fell to the ground under the tree.
"Ouch! My back! It hurts so much!"
The cry of pain made Bei Ming Haotian and Nangong Ziyan quickly look away.
"What are you doing here?" Bei Ming Haotian frowned as he looked at Tian Haoze. Wasn't he supposed to be traveling? How come he's back so soon?
Ignoring Bei Minghaotian, Tian Haoze limped over to Nangong Ziyan, who looked heartbroken.
"Little sister! If he doesn't agree, I'll agree for him. He will marry you, don't worry!"
"Who are you?" Nangong Ziyan asked without looking up. Didn't he see that she was in a bad mood?
"Of course I'm your older brother! Don't worry, I'll take care of things for you today. Haotian wouldn't dare to disagree."
