“Senior Xiao Shu!”
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. “Senior Xiao Shu, take it easy.”
Hearing Feng Yuncheng’s loud voice, Yin Rong and Yu Huang heard the commotion and turned to look at the river.
Seeing that Xiao Shu’s clothes were drenched, Yin Rong guessed the reason he lost his footing and fell into the water. For a moment, she couldn’t help but blush.
Feng Yuncheng helped Xiao Shu to the shore. As they walked, he asked him, “What were you thinking about just now? You even fell on such a flat river bottom.”
When Xiao Shu noticed that Yin Rong was looking in his direction, he avoided her gaze and explained, “I stepped on a moss stone.”
Feng Yuncheng helped Xiao Shu to the shore and sat down. “Go change your clothes. I’ll go catch another fish.”
“Okay.”
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, “How long have you been waiting?”
Yin Rong pointed at Xiao Shu’s clothes and said, “I arrived just as you were about to change.”
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, “Let’s take a walk.”
“Okay.”
Xiao Shu closed the tent again and walked away with Yin Rong. Sheng Xiao reminded them without looking up, “Don’t go too far.”
“Got it.”
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 Shu’s 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, “Lower your head.”
Xiao Shu obediently lowered his head.
After Yin Rong placed the garland on Xiao Shu’s head, she tilted her head and sized him up seriously for a moment before praising in satisfaction, “You look gorgeous.”
Xiao Shu wasn’t angry. He simply said, “As long as you’re happy.”
Yin Rong picked out a purple daisy from the pile of flowers and told Xiao Shu, “After removing the leaves from the roots, circling it around here, and finally passing it through here, it becomes a beautiful ring.”
Xiao Shu stared at the purple daisy ring and curled his lips in disdain. “Only a three-year-old girl would like such a thing.”
“Is that so? Do you really think so?” 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, “Xiao Shu, are you willing to accept my proposal ring and become my fiancé? Are you willing to share glory and ordeals with me?”
Xiao Shu immediately held his breath.
As he stared at the cute purple daisy ring, he felt a little emotional. He couldn’t help but stick out his tongue and lick his dry lips. He asked in a hoarse voice, “Are you proposing to me?”
Yin Rong blinked and nodded gently. “Yes.”
Xiao Shu’s 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 Rong’s appearance.
“With just this small wildflower ring?” Xiao Shu asked again.
Yin Rong saw the change in Xiao Shu’s eyes and sensitively sensed the change in Xiao Shu’s aura. At this moment, the aura emitted by Xiao Shu’s 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, “The first time you proposed to me, I rejected you. It’s been a few months, but I haven’t awaited your second proposal, so I can only propose myself.”
“But I wasn’t fully prepared. Without a ring that fits the size of your finger, I can only use local materials.” Yin Rong shook the wildflower ring in her hand and asked Xiao Shu, “Are you willing to accept my ring?”
Xiao Shu stretched out his left hand and said to Yin Rong, “I want you to put it on my left middle finger.”
Yin Rong heaved a sigh of relief. “Okay.”
Yin Rong solemnly put the flower ring on Xiao Shu’s middle finger. The ring was slightly wider than Xiao Shu’s middle finger, so Yin Rong lowered her head and adjusted the size of the ring.
“Okay, now it’s perfect.”
Xiao Shu raised his left middle finger against the setting sun and looked at it carefully for a moment. Then, he suddenly said, “I want it to remain like this forever.”
As he spoke, Xiao Shu’s eyes turned red again. He narrowed his eyes and stared at the ring without blinking.
A red flame emerged from Xiao Shu’s fingertips. The flame quickly enveloped the purple daisy ring and coated it with a transparent layer of lake ice crystals.
Yin Rong’s eyes widened. “You know this move?”
Xiao Shu smiled proudly. “It’s nothing.” 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, “Don’t worry, I won’t let you give birth to a unicorn.”
Yin Rong’s face turned red.
She lowered her head quickly, but she still couldn’t hide her blushing ears.
“You heard everything…”
Xiao Shu touched his nose and admitted, “Yes, my hearing is very good.” Xiao Shu held Yin Rong’s hand and said, “Although I’m 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.”
“So, you can rest assured.”
Hearing Xiao Shu’s words, Yin Rong heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s good.”
“However, I’m very happy that you’re willing to have a child with me.” Xiao Shu pressed Yin Rong’s thin body into his arms. As he sniffed the fragrance of Yin Rong’s long hair, he said in a low voice, “Rong’er, I have to personally tell you about my past relationship with Prime Master Goldfeather.”
Yin Rong realized that it would be a long and sad story. She leaned her head on Xiao Shu’s shoulder and said softly, “Tell me. I’ll listen.”
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.
“Goldfeather 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.”
“Before I died, I secretly warned myself to never fall for another woman again, but then I met you.”
