“You want my master to fix it?” Shen Yanxiao blinked her eyes at Xiu. Xiu’s smile was really good-looking. He smiled only a few times, but every time he did, she felt that all the turmoil in the world had melted under his smile. Just like being in a mountain surrounded by wild flowers blooming abundantly everywhere, all directions were filled with a sweet fragrance.
If his expressionless face were ninety-nine percent lethal, then his smiling face was enough to pierce through the sky.
“Mm.” Xiu nodded his head.
“All right, we’ll be back in a few days!” Shen Yanxiao was already excited. It had been more than two years since she left the Radiance Continent, and now, it was time to go back.
No matter when or where, Shen Yanxiao would never forget that The Rising Sun City was her real home — the place where there was a group of companions willing to stay with her in life and death, waiting for her.
The matter of the merfolk’s hometown had almost come to an end. Shen Yanxiao had visited the mainlands of each major race and had successfully completed the tasks for this journey. She had not only drawn the dragons, the dwarves and the merpeople into the alliance against the Devil Race, but had also over-fulfilled the task by bringing in the undead as well. In addition, they had not expected to finally recover Xiu’s body.
There was no more perfect ending than this.
Shen Yanxiao could not wait to return to the Radiance Continent, to the Barren Land, and to The Rising Sun City as soon as possible. She greatly missed the kind Shen Feng, the straightforward and righteous Cave Wolves Mercenary Corps, Lan Fengli, and the Phantom members scattered on all continents. But what made her more anxious was the complete revival of Xiu.
As long as she went back to The Rising Sun City, as long as she found Master Yun Qi, Xiu could be truly resurrected!
The War God’s revival would bring infinite possibilities to future battles.
“Good.” Xiu’s eyes were filled with pampering as they looked at Shen Yanxiao. The seal of the mermaid blood in Shen Yanxiao’s body would be completely unraveled soon. This trip in the merfolk’s hometown was greatly deviated due to Satan’s appearance, but the ending was a surprisingly happy one.
“I’m so excited! What to do!” Shen Yanxiao swung her fishtail merrily and swam away from Xiu’s arms. Like someone that had been injected with chicken blood, she was excitedly circling Xiu.
Xiu couldn’t help but laugh a little. He was accustomed to Shen Yanxiao’s usual calm and restraint behavior. It was really rare to see this little girl show such childish behavior, but it had a special flavor.
“Little Xiao.”
“Hm?” Shen Yanxiao blinked her blue eyes which sparkled with excitement.
“You are approaching eighteen.” Xiu took Shen Yanxiao, who was swimming around and could not rest for a moment, and wrapped her between his arms.
Shen Yanxiao paused, cocked her head and looked at Xiu with some confusion.
“Don’t you remember?” Xiu looked at her.
Shen Yanxiao blinked her eyes again and tried hard to collect information about her being eighteen years old in her mind. In the end, she figured it out!
In a flash, Shen Yanxiao’s little face turned red like an apple. She immediately lowered her head and buried her face in Xiu’s chest.
At eighteen, he promised to marry her.
“When the battle against the Devil Race is over, it will be your eighteenth birthday. Little Xiao, are you ready?” Xiu looked at Shen Yanxiao, who seldom showed shyness, and her eyes were full of love.
Shen Yanxiao twisted her body and remained silent for a long time before she lowered her head and nodded sullenly but firmly.
This…
Was it a proposal?
It was not romantic at all!
But…
What’s with this sense of happiness that was pouring out of her heart?
