Chapter 356 Are You Willing To Marry Me?

After Nangong Yu held onto her for a moment, he slowly loosened his grip on her. Pinching her nose and faking anger, he said, “You still dare to talk. You left only a slip of paper with no trace of you around, how was I supposed to know if you were coerced into doing that? Do you still say that I shouldn’t have worried?”

Hexi lowly coughed twice, she was rarely embarrassed. But at that time she wanted to let Feng Lian Ying and Feng Yunjing experience some unluckiness. Momentarily, she was up to her ears in work [1]. So, she only had time to hurriedly leave a slip of paper for Nangong Yu and the rest of them. At the time, she didn’t think too much of it.

Wu Yu and Gu Liu Feng weren’t as anxious as Nangong Yu, but when they saw that Hexi returned safe and sound, they were also quite happy.

But thinking about how those several people inexplicably ended up outside the Secret Territory, Wu Yu couldn’t help but ask, “It’s very strange. With Sealed Dragon Domain’s Secret Territory being so big, unless someone touched the control core, how could everyone has been sent out?”

“Don’t tell me that the Secret Territory encountered some sort of problem? Unless someone obtained the Sealed Dragon Sword?”

As everyone knows, Sealed Dragon Domain was used to hold the Sealed Dragon Sword. If someone was able to get the sword, then Secret Territory’s core control would certaintly open.

Hexi rubbed her nose and didn’t dare to say anymore.

The Little Golden Dragon had said that before she could hold the Sealed Dragon Sword, she must not let anyone know she was the owner of the Secret Territory. This included even the people closest to her.

Otherwise, if someone killed her, the Secret Territory would collapse and the Little Golden Dragon would experience a violent death.

Nangong Yu looked at the deep burning in Hexi’s eyes, he seemed to have finally guessed what was going on. But instead of saying anything, he rubbed the top of Hexi’s head, softly saying, “Xi’er, do you want to come back to Hell King Manor with me?”

Hexi gloomily shook her head, why do you want me to follow you back to Hell King Manor?

“I still have to settle some matters inside Cang Mountain. Once I finish dealing with them, I’ll return to my own courtyard.”

Unexpectedly, Nangong Yu didn’t continue to insist. Nodding his head, something gloomy flashed in his eyes. “You returning to your own courtyard is good too. I’ll let Wu Xin follow you, to protect you.”

Just as Hexi was about to retort, Nangong Yu extended his hand out to softly caress her warm cheek. Saying with a gentle and low voice, “During this time, I won’t be able to come find you. You have to obediently take good care of yourself and wait for me to come back, en [2]?”

Hexi unhappily slapped his hand away. Unexpectedly, when she slapped his hand her hand landed on top of his, unlike previous times, Nangong Yu extended his other hand and brought her into his embrace.

His deep voice which faintly seemed to hold weakness and praying sounded in her ears. “Xi’er, in the event that everything is over, if...... are you willing to marry me?”

Hexi was stunned. It seemed as if something was stuck in her throat, leaving her speechless.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Hexi vaguely knew that Nangong Yu needed to attend to a very important and dangerous matter. So the words he spoke just now seemed to sound like his last dying words.

Hexi deliberately wanted to question what he was going to do. But seeing Nangong Yu’s eyes filled with stars and burning, Hexi swallowed any words she wanted to say.

Hexi rolled around a small storage ring on her palm. Her complexion was indifferent and the words she spoke held even less emotions. “I’m replying no to your question! After all, when you go there, only God knows if you’ll ever reappear in front of my face again!”

It wasn’t even a moment later when she threw the storage ring onto Nangong Yu’s body. Indifferently saying, “Everything inside here is for you. I believe that these things will be helpful for you, no matter what you’re doing!”
