"Since I've chosen to take you in, I've naturally considered your well-being. By following me, you'll gain the support of the entire demon race... However, I've also taken you in under pressure. If you continue to be so ungrateful, I can't say for sure that one day I might lose patience with you, kill you, and hand over your corpse. So, you'd better think it through as soon as possible. Only when you truly become one of my people will you be one of my own, and only then will I protect you!"
Hearing Miao Ruyi's impassioned speech, Ao Qian raised his eyes, a slight smile playing on his lips, carrying a hint of wickedness and an unfathomable depth. "You can only give me a few days at most?"
“Three days!” Miao Ruyi said in an unquestionable tone, “You have already broken my rule. No one else would be as ignorant of the rules as you.”
"Then please come again a day later, Princess," Aoqian said calmly.
Miao Ruyi looked delighted. "So, you can give me an answer in a day?"
"You'll find out when the time comes," Ao Qian said expressionlessly.
Miao Ruyi's face was beaming with joy, and she said, "Then I'll come again in a day."
Before leaving, Miao Ruyi instructed her servants to send many gifts, including various men's accessories, tea, and wine.
Aoqian looked at these dishes and found them to be far more exquisite than the ones he and Song Xiwei had eaten at the morning market stalls, but for some reason, he couldn't muster any appetite.
He felt somewhat ridiculous.
It seems that the things I did with Song Xiwei, the things I ate, even the most ordinary things, left behind memories that are unique and exceptionally unforgettable.
On the contrary, it made the objects in front of them seem so vulgar, even though they appeared expensive and precious.
When they met again a day later, Miao Ruyi was dressed up in her finest attire, as was Ao Qian.
He put on the new clothes that Miao Ruyi had prepared for him. Although he hated wearing such flashy colors, he had to admit that he could definitely pull them off.
When Miao Ruyi saw Aoqian change into the new clothes she had personally prepared, she seemed much gentler than she had been the day before.
She even looked at Aoqian with such satisfaction that she was practically ready to throw herself into his arms.
Compared to yesterday, Aoqian's attitude wasn't exactly enthusiastic, but it wasn't as cold either.
He even poured wine for Miao Ruyi.
Miao Ruyi held the glass of wine, and before she even started drinking, she was already somewhat drunk.
Her eyes were alluring as she gazed at Aoqian, and she said dreamily, "These past few years of longing have truly been worth it. Once you're mine, I will cherish and love you dearly."
...
Xiao Zhuang watched Song Xiwei frantically searching for the entrance and said, "You're too soft-hearted. That little demon was too cunning and got away. Otherwise, if we had punched a few more holes in her, I don't believe she wouldn't have told us the entrance!"
Song Xi shook her head slightly. "Alright, that little demon might not even know where the real entrance is. After all, if it were just an ordinary spatial interlayer, I wouldn't be completely clueless. We need to hurry!"
"Didn't that little demon say that Young Master Aoqian is going to become a prince consort? We're going too fast and it would be bad to delay his good deed. Why don't we not go? Sister Wei, you've already been more than kind to him." Xiao Zhuang still disagreed with Song Xiwei getting involved in Aoqian's troubles this time.
Men generally enjoy this sweet burden.
It's just that Sister Wei is too upright; she actually worries about him.
Song Xiwei rolled her eyes at Xiao Zhuang. "Here we go again. Didn't I say that whether his situation is good or bad can't be determined by other people's opinions alone? If I can confirm it with my own eyes and hear him say that he is willing to stay in the demon race as a prince consort, I will definitely respect his choice."
