A few seconds later--
Ah Chen finally managed to take off all the silver bracelets!
But the next second--
Ah Ling was stunned.
Because she thought that Ah Chen would take it away after picking it and wouldn't give it back to her.
Because taking it away would mean that Achen would not acknowledge the marriage.
To her surprise, Ah Chen put it back on her.
"Ah Chen, you—"
Ah Ling didn't understand what Ah Chen meant.
But Ah Chen stared at her—
After their eyes met --
Ah Chen said, "Just now, it was the clan elders and the old woman who insisted that I put it on you. It was Ah Mo who made me put it on, not what I wanted."
"But this time, I put it on you willingly and without hesitation."
One time it was forced, and the other time it was voluntary.
The two instances have completely different meanings.
In other words, this time, Ah Chen willingly put it on Ah Ling, which means he truly accepts her.
However, this acceptance was made in the capacity of the Miao King.
In the heart of the ordinary Miao man Mu Achen, there will always be only Amo.
But he also knew that the two were inseparable.
For A-Ling, A-Chen's acceptance was a willing one.
It surprised her, but it also warmed her heart.
For a moment, she stared blankly at Ah Chen.
Then--
Shift your gaze downwards!
Watching Ah Chen carefully put the silver bracelet on her wrist, his movements even more careful and earnest than when he had done it in front of the clan elder and the old woman earlier.
"Achen--"
Ah Ling felt a lump in her throat, and her vision blurred.
In the instant her heart was filled with warmth, it seemed as if a trace of aura from Ah Chen was seeping into her Gu spirit at an astonishing speed.
In that instant, she clearly felt that her Gu spirit was stronger than before.
However, she also received information from Ah Chen through an invisible magical connection.
One of the feedback messages was --
It was the inheritance she received from Achen a few days ago.
Ah Chen, who had just put the silver bracelet on Ah Ling, was dumbfounded.
He looked up at A-Ling, whose eyes were red with tears, and after a moment, he cursed the previous Miao king in his heart once again for unexpectedly tricking him again.
Ah Chen clearly remembered that after leaving Wupan Miao Village that night, he fell unconscious and entered the Nine You Space—
The concept of inheritance here refers to passing it down from one's father to his wife.
So, the Nine Realms Space had already accepted A-Ling.
Otherwise, why would he say he would pass the inheritance on to his wife instead of designating Amo?
So, while cursing under his breath, Ah Chen was also wondering if anyone else besides Ah Mo and Ah Ling had accepted this inheritance.
But he suspected there must be someone, he just didn't know who else was involved.
But he guessed that Nan Ayun would probably be involved, because Nan Ayun felt too familiar to him.
Sometimes, in the quiet of the night, he still thinks, what if--
If it's nighttime and the lights are off, you can't see anything.
If Amo and Ayun switch places, he won't be able to tell them apart as long as they don't speak.
Perhaps, this is --
Destiny Analysis --
There was no other choice!
Or perhaps, the dream I had recently wasn't just a random thought!
There was also a spirit butterfly, exactly like Amo's.
Is this possible?
Ah Chen sighed and thought to himself: Forget it, I won't think about it anymore. What's meant to come will come!
Then, he gathered his thoughts and said to Ah Ling, "Since it was destined all along, you should have told me sooner, otherwise so many jokes wouldn't have happened."
"Achen--"
"Things are fine now, it's just—"
"What's wrong? If you have any requests, just tell me, I—"
Seeing Ah Chen's bitter smile, Ah Ling felt a pang of sympathy amidst her tension.
Because now that she has it, she is afraid of damaging it, and even more afraid of losing it.
As for Ah Chen, Mi A Ling's cautiousness only made him want to curse those damned rules even more.
Otherwise, given Mi A-Ling's abilities, status, and position, how could she not find someone better, instead of suffering injustice here?
The spirit maiden of western Hunan, how many young men long to possess her flower-adorned sash?
But she just...
So, Ah Chen gestured for her to talk as they walked:
"I have no demands, I just wanted to tell you that you probably already know my situation from Amo! So--"
"Putting aside your identity as the future Miao King, Ah Ling, there's really not much I can give you."
"Perhaps, even the most basic companionship is scarce."
"This is really unfair to you!"
…
Hearing this, A-Ling was very happy that A-Chen was able to confide in her.
So she smiled slightly and said, "I know! So please don't feel guilty."
"Achen, our destinies are actually intertwined."
"If you're doing well, then we're all doing well!"
"If anything happens to you, we will all be wiped out."
"So, you should be more careful when you're out in the future."
"I'll keep watch over things here in western Hunan for you; come back and visit when you have time, and if you don't, I'll come find you."
"besides--"
"When you're away, take good care of Amo; she's the future Miao queen."
…
During this conversation, both Ah Chen and Ah Ling understood each other's thoughts.
It was through this in-depth conversation that Ah Chen learned that, in fact—
The spirit maiden Mi A'ling was stronger and more capable than he had imagined; she had admirable qualities in everything she did.
As expected of a spirit maiden!
