A strange voice came from the abyss, "This is not a difficult task."
"I've agreed, and I hope you'll keep your promise as soon as possible."
The sound, like a black hole, disappeared. Qi Yu left the cave and climbed up the mountain. The deal was done, and he would gain more time.
Climbing up into the cave, Qi Yu held a clean towel that smelled refreshing. He closed his eyes, knelt down, and felt an unbearable throbbing pain in his heart.
Many things surfaced in his mind, such as things from his past life, painful memories that surfaced in his dreams every night, each scene so cruel and heartbreaking. There were some things he had to do.
Li Xiaoxiao.
Qi Yu silently repeated the name in his mind over and over again, his eyes almost bloodshot, wishing he could possess infinite power right now.
After a long while, Qi Yu put a clean handkerchief in his pocket, took out a jade thumb ring from his palm, held it in his hand, and fell asleep directly in the middle of the night.
At the same time, Li Xiaoxiao also fell asleep. Then, she felt that she was in a strange place. When she opened her eyes, she found herself lying in a fog.
A long, melodious dragon roar echoed from the mist, and Li Xiaoxiao instinctively followed the sound.
As they walked further and further into the mist, a man appeared indistinctly, his features obscured. Behind him coiled a giant dragon, its eyes glowing red in the darkness, giving it an exceptionally imposing appearance.
It was Qi Yu. Li Xiaoxiao smiled. How could this man appear in this secret realm?
She walked over, but even though the man was so close, she couldn't get close. She couldn't use any spiritual power. Just as she was anxiously trying to move forward, the man in the mist looked at her and moved his lips as if he wanted to say something, but she couldn't hear a word.
Li Xiaoxiao was devastated and frantically walked forward, while the dragon rolled in the clouds and flew towards her.
She assumed a fighting stance, just as the dragon was about to charge, when the dream suddenly shattered. Opening her eyes, she saw a blue gauze bed curtain, and a voice called out from outside the door, "Xiaoxiao, get up quickly, Jin Senxian is here to see you. He says he has something important to discuss." She sighed silently, got up, and knew that at this moment, if she were to act coquettishly, the man would pick her up and dress her.
After getting up and tidying up, Li Xiaoxiao dressed up a bit better, but she still didn't put on any makeup. She simply tied her hair up and went out wearing a dark green outfit.
Upon entering the hall, Jin Senxian was already seated, chatting happily with the Duke of Kaiguo. The man's eyes were narrowed with a smile. When the Duke of Kaiguo saw her arrive, he said loudly, "Please give a greeting to Lord Jin. I said I came here specifically to see you."
Li Xiaoxiao stood to the side, seemingly unconcerned, and gave a perfunctory greeting.
"Lord Jin, it must have been tiring for you to come from so far away. I am doing my best to find a way to resolve the matter I promised you before, but it is not something that can be accomplished overnight."
Li Xiaoxiao immediately adopted a bureaucratic tone upon arrival. Jin Senxian, however, opened his eyes and scrutinized her like a fox before continuing with a smile, "It's good that Miss Li hasn't forgotten. I will wait for the method of governance. However, I have come here today with a request."
"My younger brother mentioned proposing to you last time, but he got drunk while you were having a good talk, so the matter was dropped. Therefore, I am making a formal visit to your home and, with the elders of the family as witnesses, I am formally proposing the engagement."
The topic immediately became this crucial one. The Duke of Kaiguo looked at Li Xiaoxiao with surprise. Hadn't she just divorced her husband in He Na's village? How did she get involved with the Jin family? "Xiaoxiao, what's going on?"
