Chapter 424: Guard
Yun Rong rejected Princess Ji Wan's marriage proposal back then, so why is she taking the initiative to propose marriage this time?
Is the storyline about to unfold?
Sang Luo recalled what the old village chief, Xu, had said—Princess Ji Wan died on her wedding day with the God. Could it be that wedding? This princess had a very short life.
Sang Luo was in a dilemma.
But she still wanted to maintain her princess persona. Everyone in the world knew that Princess Ji Wan was infatuated with Young Master Yun Rong of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan. The old patriarch of the Red Fox Clan had agreed to the marriage without even asking. If Sang Luo refused again, it would have aroused some suspicion...
After the princess's body died, her soul left the body and, unless something unexpected happened, would return to her original body... This was also the only solution Sang Luo could take when she really couldn't find her original body.
I hadn't taken action before, firstly because I was afraid of the pain, and secondly because I was afraid of interfering with the time and space lines. Now I follow the time and space lines and do it, which can be regarded as destiny.
"When will the wedding be held?" Sang Luo turned and asked the patriarch.
"If there is nothing else, let's hold it next month. From what I heard from the young master, he wants to marry you as soon as possible." The patriarch said happily.
But the daughter was not as happy as she had imagined. "Marrying so late, isn't the timing a bit rushed?"
"Oh? If you have anything else you want to prepare, you can pick another auspicious day and I'll go discuss it with the Nine-Tailed Fox."
Sang Luo shook his head. "No need. Let's do it next month."
She looked out the window. The continuous spring rain had knocked down many new buds on the flower trees.
I just feel a little reluctant to part with that little fox. After all, there will be a day when we must say goodbye...
…
The rainy season is damp and cold, and Yun Qi has been staying in the yard these days and hasn't gone out much. His illness has almost healed, but he just longs for that little bit of warmth. Sang Luo is also happy to indulge his little thoughts and often takes time to come and accompany him.
"Is Your Highness in a bad mood?" Yun Qi saw that she looked unhappy since she came back, so he made a cup of hot tea for her.
Sang Luo came back to his senses and stared at him. Suddenly, he said something completely unrelated.
"Are you feeling better?"
"Hmm? Your Highness..." Yun Qi was surprised.
"I remember what you said last time. As a concubine, I haven't fulfilled my duties as a concubine yet. I really feel a little wronged by you."
"Cough!" The young man seemed to have choked on a sip of tea. His face flushed slightly and he lowered his head, not daring to look at her.
Seeing his shy look, Sang Luo felt very happy. She reached out and lifted his chin, and said with a smile, "I'll give you one chance. How about it? Only this time."
"...Qi, the cold has healed and I will not bring the disease to Your Highness."
The young man's breathing became heavier. He picked her up by the waist and turned to walk towards the bedroom. His steps were steady but with a hint of swiftness.
The door of the room was closed. Sang Luo was lying on a large bed covered with a soft quilt. Her messy long hair was spread out on the bed, and her eyes were full of charm.
The light body fragrance emanating from females is even more fascinating.
Yun Qi's Adam's apple rolled, and he could no longer suppress his burning desire. He bent his knees, pressing deep wrinkles into the white mattress. One hand supported her side, and with the other slender palm, he clasped her five fingers. He lowered his head and kissed the side of her neck. His slender fingers fell behind her, and he slowly peeled off the layers of her robe like peeling silk...
There were no lights on in the room, the curtains were drawn, and the room was gloomy. Only the sounds of two entangled breathing could be heard, and the temperature gradually climbed.
At the last moment, Sang Luo suddenly stopped and said, "Wait."
Pain appeared on the boy's crimson face, and his voice was filled with pleading, "Your Highness..."
"Forget it, let's rest first." She suddenly lost interest again, turned around and covered herself with the quilt tightly.
Alas, no matter how regretful you are, you can't mess around with someone else's body.
If you can’t get it, then you can’t get it.
It would be nice if the beauty of youth existed only in memory.
But Yun Qi didn't know what Sang Luo was thinking. He curled up his body and took a long time to suppress the pain. A deep sense of loss and frustration flashed in his eyes.
Why don't you accept him?
Can't he arouse the female's sexual desire?
This half of his face... He had searched many medical books but still couldn't find a complete cure.
The charming atmosphere dissipated, and the temperature in the room also dropped. The young man put his arms around Sang Luo's waist from behind, resting his chin on the side of her neck. His voice still had a hint of hoarseness, "Your Highness, I'm a little cold. I can hold you while I sleep."
This little fox is used to acting like a spoiled child.
Sang Luo couldn't refuse him and sighed, "What would you do if I left one day?"
The young man gently nuzzled the back of her neck and murmured, "I will always be waiting for you, Your Highness."
"What if he doesn't come back? It's like he's leaving and will never see me again," she said.
Yun Qi paused, and the arm around her waist suddenly tightened, "Your Highness!"
"...Life is full of unexpected events, separations and farewells. No one can guarantee that they will always be with each other."
The boy's hand slowly relaxed again, and after a while, he replied in a low voice,
"Then I will keep vigil for His Highness."
He said,
"I once heard of an ancient and beautiful legend. After a person dies, as long as they remain in the memories of others, a wisp of their soul will remain in the world forever."
"If someone keeps vigil for the deceased for a hundred thousand years, and Heaven and Earth are moved, the Beast God will show mercy and allow the two to meet again."
Sang Luo had never thought that there was such a legend about the vigil. Thinking back to the past, she felt complicated. "It's just a legend, don't take it seriously."
"Yes, it's just a legend, a lie the living tell to comfort themselves. But if even the lie disappears, what will sustain the will to continue living?" Yun Qi said softly, "If Your Highness hasn't returned in a hundred thousand years, I will go look for Him."
"...What nonsense!"
One or two of them, why are they all burying people alive with the dead?
Sang Luo turned around angrily, but when she looked up, she met the boy's deep and determined eyes. She was stunned and swallowed the words of rebuke back into her throat. She took a deep breath, put her arms around the boy's thin waist, and buried her head in his still somewhat thin but strong arms.
He said sullenly, "No matter what happens, live well, live for yourself. No matter if you wait for me or not, you are not allowed to do such stupid things... If one day I really leave, you must let me go and find another good female who loves you and cherishes you."
"But the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox can only have one mate in its lifetime. I have already married His Highness, and there will be no one else."
Sang Luo listened to the boy's affectionate confession, but felt sad.
Someone else had also said this to her, and she understood only too well the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox's loyalty to its partner.
But, she is not Princess Ji Wan, and the person Yun abandoned to marry is not Sang Luo.
Some things were wrong from the beginning, and she didn't dare to be too greedy.
Sang Luo let go of him, turned around, tidied her clothes and got out of bed. The young man was at a loss and pulled her into his arms, hugging her tightly, "Your Highness! Did I say something wrong? Don't go..."
Sang Luo slowly untied his fingers and said, "I'm going away next month."
"Where is your Highness going? I can go with you!"
"That's quite a coincidence. Let's go back to your hometown, the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan." Her voice was flat. "Soon, I will marry Yun Rong and take him as my legal husband."
I'm a little stuck, I need to sort it out, see you tomorrow
