yue xiaoqian’s body shuddered. her arms tightly held long chen’s waist as they immersed themselves in that feeling.
eventually, the two of them slowly parted. yue xiaoqian still had wet marks on her face, and she didn’t dare to look at long chen’s fiery gaze. instead, she plastered her face into long chen’s sturdy chest, feeling his wild heartbeat. her heart was doing the same.
“it’s like a drum.”
yue xiaoqian suddenly smiled. long chen’s heartbeat really was like a drum.
“it’s like a honey peach.”
long chen also made a comparison.
“what?” yue xiaoqian looked at him in confusion.
long chen wriggled his eyebrows at her and licked his lips. “fragrant and delicious.”
“scoundrel.” yue xiaoqian couldn’t help lightly hitting him a few times for that joke, making long chen laugh. “stop! otherwise, i’ll tell my mom you bullied me!”
“that’s just what i was looking for. if she knew, would she immediately urge us to finish our marriage vows?”
“hmph, that’s a nice dream. if an outsider wants to marry one of the original devil race’s women, they need the approval of mixihaweiya, our god. then they’ll need to accomplish three missions and get the approval of the entire race. furthermore, hehe, the original devil’s race inheritance is matriarchal. doesn’t that mean our children would have my surname?” yue xiaoqian laughed.
“xiaoqian, aren’t we one family? what do you think about reversing this sequence?”
“what sequence?”
“what i mean is, let’s make it simpler. let’s first have children before dealing with the rest.”
“scoundrel! you wish!” yue xiaoqian ran away. long chen’s words were too roguish.
long chen laughed and caught up to her. holding hands, the two of them continued onward.
“xiaoqian, i thought you knew how to read minds? it seems you can no longer read mine,” said long chen. back in the jiuli secret realm when he had first encountered her, yue xiaoqian seemed to be able to read all his thoughts.
“hmph, i told you that it wasn’t a mind-reading art. it was just guessing a person’s thought process based on their spiritual fluctuations, heartbeat, eyes, aura, blood flow, movements, etc. it’s only useful against strangers. my mom taught it to me back then so i wouldn’t get tricked by strangers. now that we’re already this familiar with each other, it’s useless.” yue xiaoqian glared at long chen.
“is the heir of the nine stars so amazing?”
“long chen, none of us can divulge too much about the secrets of the nine stars. the more we tell you, the worse it will be for you. it would be harming you. but you need to understand that the heir of the nine stars is the most respected existence in the world. you cannot lower your head to anyone, not even heaven or earth. perhaps you’ve already sensed some clues. you are not accepted by the heavens because-”
boom!
suddenly, divine pressure and angry light exploded out of the ancestral statue, interrupting yue xiaoqian’s words.
“ancestor, please calm your rage! i know i was wrong!” yue xiaoqian hastily knelt toward the statue again.
once she admitted her fault, the divine pressure and light faded. it seemed that it had been a warning.
“long chen, many things about you are taboo, so don’t blame the ancestor. she is doing this for you.” yue xiaoqian saw that long chen’s expression was a bit angry, and she knew it was because he was feeling resentful toward the statue for scaring her, so she hastily explained.
long chen felt a bit better from that explanation. in his heart, yue xiaoqian was already his woman, and he wouldn’t let her suffer.
yue xiaoqian began to pull long chen away. in the end, long chen only cupped his fists toward the statue. after all, it was still yue xiaoqian’s ancestor.
once they were past the statue, they entered a long corridor. the two sides of the corridor were filled with ancient murals. many of them were motley, and some places had been damaged too badly to be understood. however, nothing had been repaired at all. they were still in their original form.
“these murals were carved by the ancestors of my race. however, so much time has passed, and it’s unknown just how many wars the skyscraping world has gone through. this is the place enemies wanted to destroy, so some places are already incomplete. the material used to create these carvings is very precious, and the ancestors’ wills and divine charm are still present within them. with our current level, it’s impossible to restore them, so we don’t even dare to try,” sighed yue xiaoqian. her voice contained respect for those ancestors, as well as sadness for the original devil race’s decline.
“things decline and prosper. when things get so bad that they can’t get any worse, they can only get better,” comforted long chen.
he knew that yue xiaoqian was actually carrying just as many things on her back as he was. having a powerful sense of responsibility, she wanted to help the original devil race to escape its current predicament. that was immense pressure.
in truth, there were quite a few areas where long chen and yue xiaoqian had things in common. that made long chen understand the hardships she was under and feel more love for her.
although he had more things on his back, he felt that as a man, he had to face those things. these difficulties, they were a whetstone to temper himself on. as long as he used them well, they would become his stepping stones to grow.
“xiaoqian, don’t worry, i will help you carry this burden. trust me.”
“yes.”
xiaoqian smiled happily. now she had someone she could rely on. furthermore, long chen’s shoulder always made her feel at peace.
they continued onward through the corridor. suddenly, long chen paused as he saw a shocking scene.
