âSenior Xiao Shu!â
Feng Yuncheng caught a fish and turned around. When he saw Xiao Shu sitting in the cold river, he quickly threw the fish ashore and bent down to help Xiao Shu up. âSenior Xiao Shu, take it easy.â
Hearing Feng Yunchengâs loud voice, Yin Rong and Yu Huang heard the commotion and turned to look at the river.
Seeing that Xiao Shuâs clothes were drenched, Yin Rong guessed the reason he lost his footing and fell into the water. For a moment, she couldnât help but blush.
Feng Yuncheng helped Xiao Shu to the shore. As they walked, he asked him, âWhat were you thinking about just now? You even fell on such a flat river bottom.â
When Xiao Shu noticed that Yin Rong was looking in his direction, he avoided her gaze and explained, âI stepped on a moss stone.â
Feng Yuncheng helped Xiao Shu to the shore and sat down. âGo change your clothes. Iâll go catch another fish.â
âOkay.â
After Xiao Shu went ashore, he took off his wet shoes and walked towards the tent alone. He changed his clothes, unzipped the tent, and walked out. He saw Yin Rong standing in front of him.
Xiao Shu raised his eyebrows and asked her, âHow long have you been waiting?â
Yin Rong pointed at Xiao Shuâs clothes and said, âI arrived just as you were about to change.â
The plain was filled with colorful daisies. At dusk, an orange glow was cast on the daisies, giving off a romantic and peaceful vibe.
Xiao Shu said to Yin Rong, âLetâs take a walk.â
âOkay.â
Xiao Shu closed the tent again and walked away with Yin Rong. Sheng Xiao reminded them without looking up, âDonât go too far.â
âGot it.â
The two of them walked slowly in the direction of the setting sun. When they passed by a large field of wildflowers, Yin Rong squatted down among the flowers and snapped off a large bouquet of wildflowers.
She carried the wildflowers to Xiao Shuâs side and knelt down to use the wildflowers to make a headband. Her hands were very nimble, and she had always been good at making jewelry with various jade and gemstones. Soon, the wildflowers were woven into a bright headband.
Yin Rong held the headband and said to Xiao Shu, âLower your head.â
Xiao Shu obediently lowered his head.
After Yin Rong placed the garland on Xiao Shuâs head, she tilted her head and sized him up seriously for a moment before praising in satisfaction, âYou look gorgeous.â
Xiao Shu wasnât angry. He simply said, âAs long as youâre happy.â
Yin Rong picked out a purple daisy from the pile of flowers and told Xiao Shu, âAfter removing the leaves from the roots, circling it around here, and finally passing it through here, it becomes a beautiful ring.â
Xiao Shu stared at the purple daisy ring and curled his lips in disdain. âOnly a three-year-old girl would like such a thing.â
âIs that so? Do you really think so?â Yin Rong suddenly smiled slyly. She, who always looked gentle and amiable, actually seemed quirky and mischievous at this moment.
She raised the purple daisy ring in front of Xiao Shu and lifted her head. Then, she looked at him affectionately and asked solemnly and sincerely, âXiao Shu, are you willing to accept my proposal ring and become my fiancé? Are you willing to share glory and ordeals with me?â
Xiao Shu immediately held his breath.
As he stared at the cute purple daisy ring, he felt a little emotional. He couldnât help but stick out his tongue and lick his dry lips. He asked in a hoarse voice, âAre you proposing to me?â
Yin Rong blinked and nodded gently. âYes.â
Xiao Shuâs eyes suddenly turned fiery red as he looked at the ring, as if two balls of flames were burning in them. However, his fiery red eyes clearly reflected the purple daisy ring and Yin Rongâs appearance.
âWith just this small wildflower ring?â Xiao Shu asked again.
Yin Rong saw the change in Xiao Shuâs eyes and sensitively sensed the change in Xiao Shuâs aura. At this moment, the aura emitted by Xiao Shuâs entire body became passionate and domineering, as if it could instantly melt Yin Rong.
Yin Rong suppressed the fear in her heart and told Xiao Shu gently, âThe first time you proposed to me, I rejected you. Itâs been a few months, but I havenât awaited your second proposal, so I can only propose myself.â
âBut I wasnât fully prepared. Without a ring that fits the size of your finger, I can only use local materials.â Yin Rong shook the wildflower ring in her hand and asked Xiao Shu, âAre you willing to accept my ring?â
Xiao Shu stretched out his left hand and said to Yin Rong, âI want you to put it on my left middle finger.â
Yin Rong heaved a sigh of relief. âOkay.â
Yin Rong solemnly put the flower ring on Xiao Shuâs middle finger. The ring was slightly wider than Xiao Shuâs middle finger, so Yin Rong lowered her head and adjusted the size of the ring.
âOkay, now itâs perfect.â
Xiao Shu raised his left middle finger against the setting sun and looked at it carefully for a moment. Then, he suddenly said, âI want it to remain like this forever.â
As he spoke, Xiao Shuâs eyes turned red again. He narrowed his eyes and stared at the ring without blinking.
A red flame emerged from Xiao Shuâs fingertips. The flame quickly enveloped the purple daisy ring and coated it with a transparent layer of lake ice crystals.
Yin Rongâs eyes widened. âYou know this move?â
Xiao Shu smiled proudly. âItâs nothing.â As Xiao Shu sized up the ring on his finger, he thought of what Yin Rong had whispered to Yu Huang earlier. He lowered his head to look at Yin Rong and said seriously, âDonât worry, I wonât let you give birth to a unicorn.â
Yin Rongâs face turned red.
She lowered her head quickly, but she still couldnât hide her blushing ears.
âYou heard everythingâ¦â
Xiao Shu touched his nose and admitted, âYes, my hearing is very good.â Xiao Shu held Yin Rongâs hand and said, âAlthough Iâm the Lord of All Demons, I already have a human body. In the future, our child will most likely be in the form of a human baby.â
âSo, you can rest assured.â
Hearing Xiao Shuâs words, Yin Rong heaved a sigh of relief. âThatâs good.â
âHowever, Iâm very happy that youâre willing to have a child with me.â Xiao Shu pressed Yin Rongâs thin body into his arms. As he sniffed the fragrance of Yin Rongâs long hair, he said in a low voice, âRongâer, I have to personally tell you about my past relationship with Prime Master Goldfeather.â
Yin Rong realized that it would be a long and sad story. She leaned her head on Xiao Shuâs shoulder and said softly, âTell me. Iâll listen.â
Xiao Shu spent some time telling Yin Rong about how he and Prime Master Goldfeather had met, fallen in love, and fought each other.
When Yin Rong heard that Xiao Shu had once fallen deeply in love with Prime Master Goldfeather, she naturally felt jealous. However, when she heard that Prime Master Goldfeather had poisoned him and forced him to dig out his Monster Core and surrender, she gritted her teeth in anger.
âGoldfeather used my feelings for her to force me into the deep end and I end up dying a tragic death. This matter made me lose faith in love and even made me feel vengeful towards this world.â
âBefore I died, I secretly warned myself to never fall for another woman again, but then I met you.â
