How could Zhixun, who had no spiritual power at all, possibly withstand this? He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his thin body trembling.
Just when Qiu Shui and Mrs. Wei were worried about Zhixun, a goose-yellow voice rushed in. Her eyes were red and she yelled at the head of the Zhu family: "Dad, what are you doing? He will die!" As she said that, she stretched out a hand to hold Zhixun's back.
Qiu Shui knew that Zhu Xueling was transferring spiritual power to Zhixun.
She looked at Mrs. Wei with complicated eyes. Mrs. Wei was really embarrassed at this moment. If the girl in front of the hut just now was only 80% or 90% like her, the grown-up Zhu Xueling was exactly like her, or in other words, she was the same.
"Xueling, what are you doing?" The Zhu family's patriarch was furious. He stood up and accused her, "You can see that he is a useless person without any spiritual power. Do you really want to marry such a loser, an ordinary person?"
"But you said you didn't need me to arrange a marriage. You said that when I grow up, I can marry the man I like! Now I have grown up and I also have a man I like, why don't you agree?" Zhu Xueling withdrew her hand, protected Zhixun behind her, and retorted to the head of the Zhu family with confidence.
"I told you that you can marry any man you like, but I never told you to marry a painter who is powerless! Besides, he married you for a purpose, he can't really like you!" The head of the Zhu family roared angrily.
Zhu Xueling calmed down. She turned around, took Zhixun's hand, smiled sweetly at him and said, "Do you like me?"
Zhixun was stunned, and paused for a moment before uttering two words: "I like it!"
This time, it was Mrs. Wei's turn to be confused. She had to think for two minutes just to say "like," so how much "like" could she really be? And looking at Zhixun's timid and guilty expression, it wasn't even possible to tell that he liked her at all.
Did Zhixun really love Zhu Xueling? If not, what happened to those paintings? Mrs. Wei was filled with questions.
Zhu Xueling seemed very happy. She put away her smile and said seriously, "As long as you say it, I will believe it!" Then she turned to look at her father and said firmly, "I want to marry Zhixun. No matter whether I will be happy in the future, this path is my own choice. Please grant me your blessing, Dad!" Then she knelt down in front of the head of the Zhu family with a plop, and at the same time she did not forget to tug at the corner of Zhixun's clothes.
Zhixun reacted and knelt down as well, saying in a weak voice, "Please grant me your blessing, Patriarch!"
"Hmph!" The head of the Zhu family snorted angrily and left in a huff!
Zhu Xueling looked at the back of the Zhu family patriarch and sighed deeply. She stood up, turned around, and met Zhixun's clear and bright eyes.
"I'm sorry!" Zhixun said with a guilty look on his face.
Zhu Xueling smiled palely and said, "What's there to be sorry about? I did all this willingly!" After a pause, she continued, "After we get married, you will give the Emerald Ice Soul to Qiu Shui. Qiu Shui will be fine!"
Zhixun looked at Zhu Xueling in shock for a moment, and after a while he slowly said, "You...you know everything?"
"I gave her the demon-testing water!" Zhu Xueling said with a wry smile, "I think Qiu Shui really hates me now. In her heart, I must be a particularly vicious, extremely vicious woman!"
"I will marry you and stay with you forever!" Zhixun suddenly became firm and said seriously.
