“I already know why you came here, and I can give you the essence. But I have one condition: you must marry me and stay with me in this world for a thousand years. What do you say?” Rong Qi’s words left Xu Nian’s mind blank.
How could he know that her mission was his essence?
And he even promised to give it to her, on the condition that she marry him. Is it really that simple?
Xu Nian looked at Rong Qi suspiciously, wondering if there was a huge pit waiting for her to fall into.
Seeing the doubt in Xu Nian's eyes, Rong Qi's smile grew even brighter.
He pinched the soft flesh of her waist, leaned down and chuckled suggestively in her ear. "Niannian, don't doubt my sincerity. I know everything about you, where you come from, and what your purpose is."
"You don't need to worry that I will hurt you. As for you... I love you so much!"
"Besides, you have no choice now. I won't let go." Rong Qi stared straight at Xu Nian, his undisguised predation and burning passion in his eyes were startling, and Xu Nian suddenly turned her head away.
She was panicking; the feeling of being targeted by a powerful predator made every cell in her body scream for her to escape.
However, she was overwhelmed by his imposing presence, and she couldn't even raise her hand, let alone escape.
It felt as if a mountain was pressing down on her, making her unconsciously slow down her breathing.
"Niannian, why aren't you saying anything? Did I scare you?"
"I'm so sorry! I was too excited to see you and I was afraid you would run away, so I was rude." Rong Qi apologized perfunctorily, showing no intention of letting go of the person.
He's like an addict now; once he's in a relationship, he doesn't want to let go, and he even wants to go further.
His soul was filled with boundless love for her, a love that threatened to overwhelm him.
He desperately needed a way to alleviate his distress, and with her right in front of him, he only wanted more.
Fortunately, he had already ordered people to start preparing for the wedding ceremony before he arrived, and in just three days, she would be officially his wife.
Xu Nian, who was in silence, felt the other person begin to place delicate kisses on her neck, and her whole body stiffened slightly.
Isn't this progress too fast?
From the moment Rong Qi appeared until now, the information he has revealed has bombarded her again and again.
It gave her the illusion that a windfall had fallen from the sky.
Seeing the surprise and uncertainty in Xu Nian's eyes, Rong Qi finally restrained his audacity, helped her tidy her slightly disheveled clothes and hair, and then carried her to his Cuiwei Divine Palace.
He carried the person back slowly, even though it was only a step away.
He was in a very pleasant mood throughout the journey.
He smiled and nodded to every immortal who bowed to him.
The bright and beautiful spring scenery left all the immortals completely baffled.
The fact that he was holding a female immortal with low cultivation level made it even more incomprehensible.
When the Celestial Lord Cuiwei announced that he was getting married and that the woman in his arms was his wife, all the immortals were bewildered.
What day is today?
Has the Celestial Lord Cuiwei been possessed?
Why is he suddenly holding a female fairy and telling everyone he's getting married?
Is the immortal realm about to undergo a major upheaval?
Some were happy to receive the invitation from Cuiwei Temple, while others were sad.
Along the way, Xu Nian was the center of attention, but the person holding her remained calm and composed. Listening to him call her "Madam" again and again, she felt very complicated.
Back at the Cuiwei Divine Palace, Rong Qi carried the person back to his main hall where he was resting, and instructed the others not to disturb him. The entire main hall was then enveloped by a powerful array.
"My lady, are you still unwilling to speak to your husband?" Rong Qi's eyes, which concealed a sharp edge, swept over Xu Nian inch by inch, lingering on her face for a long time.
He knew everything had happened too hastily, and his actions too reckless; it was normal for her not to accept him.
But he couldn't wait any longer; the gods' time was too long, and a thousand years was too short for him.
He wished he could spend every single moment with her from this moment on.
“Lord Cuiwei, I…!” Xu Nian had only uttered a few words when she saw Rong Qi’s displeased expression. She blinked, wondering what had gotten into this lord.
He was the one who made her speak, and now that she's spoken, he's the one who's unhappy.
“Madam, calling me Lord Cuiwei is too formal. If you’re not used to calling me husband, you can call me Rong Qi.” After saying that, Rong Qi looked at Xu Nian with a hopeful expression.
I wonder how beautiful it would sound if she called my name.
"Rong Qi, since you know my purpose, when will you give me the Divine Essence?" Xu Nian frowned. She didn't want to spend a thousand years with him for nothing. If he kept threatening her with this, she would have to stay in this small world for a long time.
Although her original form was an immortal, she could have lived peacefully for tens of thousands of years if nothing unexpected happened.
"Madam, some things can't be rushed. Don't worry, I won't lie to you." Rong Qi stroked Xu Nian's long hair, his burning gaze fixed on her lips.
His Adam's apple bobbed a few times, but he ultimately restrained himself from taking any action.
He was afraid that once he kissed her, he wouldn't be able to stop, after all, he didn't even know how greedy he was for her.
Most importantly, she is now very wary of him.
If he were to do that now, her impression of him would definitely be even worse.
He didn't want to end up disliking each other after a thousand years.
She may not like him, and she may not love him, but she must accept his existence as her husband.
It's better for them to treat each other with respect than for her to hate and despise them.
Thinking of this, Rong Qi gazed tenderly into Xu Nian's eyes and said, "Madam, you don't need to be careful or pretend to be weak in front of me. Although I like your obedient appearance, I also hope that you can be happy."
"I understand, so can you let go of me now?" Xu Nian looked up with a smile, her distant expression displeasing Rong Qi, but he had no choice but to let go.
He had just made the statement, hoping it would make her happy.
If he were to back out now, it would be a huge embarrassment for him.
Moreover, he would lose credibility in front of her.
After a period of rambling thoughts, Rong Qi finally convinced himself and reluctantly let her leave his embrace.
Once Xu Nian was free, she took a few steps back and moved three meters away from Rong Qi.
She observed the room, which was decorated with an elegant style, and after looking around, she focused her gaze on Rong Qi.
His gaze was aggressive as he looked at her, and he released her from his grasp, his eyes darting away.
Every moment he stared at her made Xu Nian suspect that he would pounce on her at any moment and bite her vitals, delivering a fatal blow.
"Rong Qi, look away from me. I don't like you staring at me like that," Xu Nian said boldly.
After she finished speaking, she didn't forget to observe Rong Qi's reaction to her words. When she saw that he just closed his eyes helplessly, she was stunned.
Does he really listen to her like that?
