Chapter 245: Xue'er, Marry Me!
“What?”
No one had expected Qin Xiao to say such words.
“Why does this seem so unreliable?”
Seeing everyone's reactions, Qin Xiao sighed helplessly, “I'm already the father of a child, so getting married isn’t a big deal, right? Shouldn’t I give the child’s mother an official title?”
As his words fell, Liu Erlong’s delicate body trembled, her eyes instantly reddening, and a mist covered her pupils.
For Qin Xiao to say something like this deeply touched her.
“Ah, this...”
“This is normal, completely normal.”
“It’s a good thing.”
“Congratutions.”
The others, after being momentarily stunned, quickly offered their congratutions.
“Qin Xiao... Zhu Qing, Yiran, they’ve had it rough all these years, so don’t neglect them,” Liu Erlong reminded Qin Xiao after calming herself down.
“I’ve taken it to heart, don’t worry,” Qin Xiao nodded gently, “This wedding will give everyone a rightful pce.”
To be honest, Liu Erlong and the others didn’t harbor jealousy or scheme against each other. Their ability to coexist peacefully moved Qin Xiao deeply.
Does that mean even Rong Rong will have a title? Ning Fengzhi understood the hidden meaning in Qin Xiao’s words.
It wasn’t just Ning Fengzhi who was pleased—so was the Supreme Emperor of the Star Luo Empire.
He could barely contain his joy, knowing that his daughter, Zhu Zhuqing, was also part of this arrangement...
“I wonder, when do you pn to hold the wedding?” Qian Daoliu asked with a frown, a hint of urgency in his tone.
He was a bit anxious inside.
He didn’t know if his granddaughter would make it in time...
Qin Xiao replied, “In seven days. I want it to be a grand wedding, worthy of... them.”
His gaze toward Liu Erlong was filled with tenderness.
Seven days—there should be enough time... Qian Daoliu breathed a quiet sigh of relief.
“I’ll handle everything,” Ning Fengzhi stood up, eagerly taking charge of the preparations.
“In seven days, I’ll ensure you have a grand wedding.”
“Thank you, Sect Master Ning,” Qin Xiao responded with a smile.
Then, he stood up, “I have some other matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave for now.”
“I should go too. An An can’t be away from me for too long.”
“Ning must also return to make preparations.”
“Sect Master Ning, let me lend a hand as well.”
With Qin Xiao’s departure, the others also stood up and left one after another.
Soon, only Bo Saixi and Qian Daoliu were left in the grand hall.
Bo Saixi’s eyes were filled with a certain confusion, her gaze unfocused as she stared bnkly in one direction, lost in thought.
“Sigh,” Qian Daoliu couldn’t help but sigh at the sight of Bo Saixi’s expression. “Saixi, doesn’t it hurt to keep these feelings bottled up? Why don’t you tell him?”
Bo Saixi snapped out of her daze and gently shook her head, “It’s meaningless...”
“How do you know it’s meaningless if you don’t speak up?”
“I’ll think about it...”
Bo Saixi sighed softly and then left the hall as well.
...
“According to the location described in the letter, this should be the pce.”
Qin Xiao stood at the entrance of a courtyard, knowing that Qian Renxue was inside.
He raised his hand, wanting to knock on the door, but suddenly found himself without the strength to do so.
It had been years since they st met.
Facing Qian Renxue now made him feel a bit uneasy.
“Hesitant and cautious? That’s not like you!”
“Don’t tell me you’re scared?”
At that moment, Qian Renxue’s voice came from within the courtyard.
It was to be expected.
With Qian Renxue’s cultivation level, she wouldn’t miss even the slightest movement within a hundred meters.
Besides, Qin Xiao hadn’t bothered to hide the sound of his footsteps.
“Scared? Me?”
Qin Xiao chuckled.
He didn’t bother knocking and pushed the door open to walk in.
This damn competitive streak...
However, when Qin Xiao entered the courtyard, he was stunned.
The walls, the trees, the tables, the chairs—everywhere were portraits of himself.
And the content of those portraits wasn’t entirely made up either.
For example, there was a painting with the backdrop of the Heaven Dou Imperial Pace, where Qin Xiao stood in front of Qian Renxue, facing Prince Xue Beng.
Another painting depicted Qin Xiao sitting at a long table den with exquisite delicacies in the main hall of the Heaven Dou Pace, enjoying the feast heartily.
Aside from these, there was also a painting of a woman in a golden gown, standing elegantly.
It was none other than Qian Renxue, just as he remembered her.
After three years apart, the woman had gained a more mature and graceful charm.
"Did you paint all of these?" Qin Xiao asked in a daze.
Qian Renxue’s cheeks flushed as she faced Qin Xiao’s curious expression. She nervously pyed with the ribbon around her waist, trying to remain composed as she responded, “Yes, I painted them… although my skills aren’t that great. They’re not lifelike yet...”
“Please don’t ugh at me.”
Qin Xiao shook his head with a smile, “Why would I ugh? I actually think these paintings make me look more handsome and refined than I am.”
He wasn’t a fool; at this moment, how could he not understand the feelings in Qian Renxue’s heart?
“You really like them?” Qian Renxue’s eyes lit up with joy, like a child receiving praise from their teacher.
She looked as if she had just earned a great honor.
Qin Xiao silently walked up to Qian Renxue.
"You..."
Qian Renxue’s heart pounded like a deer running wild, but before she could finish her sentence, Qin Xiao gently pced one hand on her back and the other around her waist, pulling her softly into his embrace.
Qian Renxue’s body tensed momentarily, but she quickly rexed, resting her face against his chest, listening to the sound of his heartbeat.
Wasn’t this the moment she had dreamed of?
“I like them because I like you. So anything you do, I’ll love,” Qin Xiao said softly.
Hearing this, Qian Renxue couldn’t stop the tears of joy from streaming down her face.
She felt that all these years of waiting had been worth it.
She raised her head slightly, her teary eyes gazing at Qin Xiao as she whispered two words, “Kiss me…”
Qin Xiao’s eyes focused on Qian Renxue’s sincere gaze, and his breathing became heavier.
Qian Renxue could feel the warmth of his breath on her cheeks. She bit her lips lightly, her eyes full of longing.
At that moment, overwhelmed with emotion, Qin Xiao stopped holding back. He bent down, scooped Qian Renxue up, and carried her toward the room.
...
After an intimate night.
Qin Xiao y in bed with Qian Renxue resting in his arms.
At that moment, Qin Xiao felt a deep sense of satisfaction, as if he had plucked a blossoming ice lotus from a distant peak. No other word could describe the experience but "exhirating!"
“How long will you stay this time?” Qian Renxue asked, her voice soft but carrying the weight of three years’ absence.
“I’ll be staying for a long time. This time, I’m not leaving again. I’ve missed too much over these three years, and I’m going to make up for all of it.”
As Qin Xiao spoke, he gently tightened his grip.
Qian Renxue let out a soft sound, “Mmm... you rascal. I don’t think you’re here to make up for anything. Your mind is full of wicked ideas.”
“Xue’er, marry me…”
“What did you say?”
“I said, marry me. Let’s hold the wedding in seven days.”
“So soon?” Qian Renxue was stunned.
“It’s not sudden. I had already made up my mind before I came. And I know for sure that you’ll marry me!”
“How can you be so sure?”
“Don’t ask! Let’s just say it’s confidence!”
...
Two days ter.
Qin Xiao ventured into the depths of the Star Dou Forest.
“In the past, the soul beasts deep in the Star Dou Forest each ruled their own territories. Now, they roam in groups of three or two.”
His powerful spiritual sense spread out, allowing him to perceive even the slightest movement. Naturally, no soul beast in the vicinity could escape his notice.
Suddenly, a familiar presence entered his spiritual range.
Qin Xiao smiled, “The Azure Bull Python? This guy’s senses are quite sharp…”
After some thought, he decided to stop and wait in pce.
Rustle, rustle...
Before long, the sound of movement came from the dense forest. The rge head of the Azure Bull Python appeared first, followed by its enormous body, stretching several dozen meters long, coming into full view before Qin Xiao.
“Hahaha, Qin Xiao, Qin Xiao, you must have a death wish! Who gave you the courage to venture into the depths of the Star Dou Forest now?” The Azure Bull Python ughed heartily after recognizing Qin Xiao.
It had been pondering how to enter the human world to exact its revenge on Qin Xiao, and now, here he was.
Though it sought vengeance, the Azure Bull Python wasn’t reckless enough to attack Qin Xiao outright.
It knew that despite its own growth in power, there was still a significant gap between it and Qin Xiao.
However, it had one thing in its favor—backing.
Just moments ago, it had already used the unique communication method of soul beasts to inform Di Tian, alerting him to the arrival of a formidable enemy.
The Azure Bull Python was confident that once Di Tian arrived, Qin Xiao’s fate would be sealed.
No.
He couldn’t kill Qin Xiao yet, because Xiao Wu was still in Qin Xiao's hands.
“What’s so special about the Star Dou Forest? Do I need someone else’s courage to come here?” Qin Xiao raised an eyebrow and asked with a mocking tone, “Or do you really think you can pose a threat to me?”
His words were filled with undisguised disdain.
"You!" The Azure Bull Python was furious.
However, despite his rage, he didn’t have the courage to directly attack Qin Xiao.
“Have humans forgotten the terror of soul beasts? Is there really someone in the Star Dou Forest daring enough to spout such arrogant nonsense and threaten the rulers of the soul beasts?”
Just then, a cold voice rang out.
Qin Xiao shifted his gaze from the Azure Bull Python to the source of the voice. A man in a bck robe was walking toward them, his strides strong and purposeful.
Notably, the man's pupils were dark gold.
Qin Xiao's eyes flickered, instantly recognizing the true form of this individual—a massive, fearsome bck dragon.
“Lord Di Tian, this is the human who killed the Titan Giant Ape and forced Xiao Wu to sacrifice herself!” The Azure Bull Python immediately sought Di Tian’s support.
“Oh?” Di Tian was momentarily surprised.
He had received a message from the Azure Bull Python about a powerful human intruder, but he didn’t expect it to be the same person with the same name as the Thunder Emperor.
“Fate really brings enemies together. We haven’t even gone looking for you, and here you are, delivering yourself to death’s door. Very well, your strength seems impressive. I’ll use you as an example to warn the humans.”
As soon as Di Tian finished speaking, he wasted no time and unched an attack.
With a powerful stomp, he turned into a blur, almost like teleportation, appearing right in front of Qin Xiao.
His right hand had already transformed into a scaly, razor-sharp dragon cw, which he fiercely thrust toward Qin Xiao’s chest.
Confident in his power, Di Tian was certain that his cw would pierce straight through Qin Xiao.
“Indeed, Lord Di Tian is powerful. Even though that boy Qin Xiao excels in speed, he won’t be able to dodge this!” The Azure Bull Python had already envisioned the scene of Qin Xiao’s blood spttering everywhere.
However, the next moment shattered his fantasy.
An invisible barrier appeared in front of Qin Xiao, stopping Di Tian’s cw just a centimeter away from his chest, unable to move any further.
“This…” The Azure Bull Python was utterly dumbfounded.
The gap between reality and his imagination was too vast.
Di Tian gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead from the strain. He pced his left hand on his right, pushing with all his might, trying to break through the barrier in front of Qin Xiao.
“I refuse to believe that with my 900,000 years of cultivation, I can’t hurt you!”
Di Tian’s cold voice seeped through his clenched teeth.
Crack!
Just as he finished speaking, a crisp sound echoed.
However, it wasn’t Qin Xiao’s barrier that had shattered—it was Di Tian’s hand that had been broken by Qin Xiao.
“Ahhh!”
A heart-wrenching scream followed as Di Tian’s right forearm bent in a grotesque way, his dragon cw hanging limply.
Qin Xiao withdrew his hand and casually wiped his sleeve, shaking his head disdainfully. “With such power, you dare act arrogantly in front of me?”
“You're too arrogant!” Di Tian roared, his soul power surging wildly, erupting like a volcano.
His pupils were now filled with bloodshot veins, leaving no trace of their golden color. It was clear just how enraged and insane he had become.
“Do you think you can scream and shout in my presence?” Qin Xiao raised an eyebrow and kicked out, nding a solid blow on Di Tian’s chest.
Immediately, Di Tian felt an overwhelming, unstoppable force explode against his chest, sending him tumbling backward uncontrolbly.
It was a humiliating sight.
Di Tian’s body scraped across the ground, creating a deep trench, and shattered countless trees along the way. He slid back over a hundred meters before finally coming to a stop.
Cough, cough, cough.
He y on the ground in a helpless sprawl, coughing weakly. Several ribs in his chest had been broken, and a deep footprint was indented into his chest.
It was only at this point that the Azure Bull Python snapped out of his shock. “Lord Di Tian… he was defeated in an instant…”
This was surreal!
The sound of approaching footsteps echoed in Di Tian’s ears. He watched helplessly as Qin Xiao walked up to him, raised a foot, and stepped on his chest.
“Hiss…”
The already heavily injured wound was assaulted once more, causing Di Tian to clench his teeth in pain.
But he was nothing if not prideful, gritting his teeth and enduring the agony without letting out another scream.
Qin Xiao shook his head slightly. “Why bother? Why put yourself through this? I came here with sincere intentions to negotiate, and yet things have ended up like this.”
“Such reckless actions on your part will make things difficult for your master.”
“You… you’re full of lies!” Insulting him was one thing, but mentioning his master was something Di Tian could not tolerate. He spat out a mouthful of blood and said through gritted teeth, “Defeating me means nothing. Your strength is nothing more than that of a slightly rger ant in front of my master…”
