Golden Crocodile Douluo smiled thinly, patting Qian Daoliu's shoulder heavily. "Daoliu, from now on, when Feng'er and Xue'er are together, we'll all be one family."
"The Golden Crocodile Clan and the Angel Clan joining forces will surely make us the envy of the Douluo Continent!"
The moment Golden Crocodile Douluo's hand landed heavily on his shoulder, Qian Daoliu's mouth twitched fiercely.
If this had happened before, Qian Daoliu would have seized the opportunity to reprimand Golden Crocodile Douluo for his insolence and for patting his shoulder. But now, he could only endure it.
For a moment, the two old foxes stood there, patting each other's shoulders, smiling on the surface but cursing each other a thousand times in their hearts...
As for the other Grand Priests around them, they couldn't interject at this point and could only force dry laughs, their gazes fixed on Jin Lingfeng, each lost in their own thoughts...
"Xue'er, I won."
"From now on, you are my fiancée. You can't go back on your word."
Jin Lingfeng looked at his little wife on the ground, smiling as he extended a hand to help Qian Renxue up.
Unexpectedly, Qian Renxue pouted, shot him a hateful glare, and then slapped Jin Lingfeng's hand away. She stood up, lowering her head deeply, not wanting her flushed, hot cheeks to be seen by that detestable fellow...
"I... I actually lost... I actually lost to this guy..."
"Do I really have to become his fiancée from now on...?"
Qian Renxue's mind was a mess, and she suddenly didn't know how to face Jin Lingfeng...
At this moment, Jin Lingfeng turned to Qian Daoliu above and his grandfather, Golden Crocodile Douluo, and said, "Great Priest, Xue'er and I have awakened our Martial Souls. I have something I want to say to her now."
"I want to take Xue'er out for a walk. May I?"
Qian Daoliu beamed, smiling as he waved his hand. "Go ahead, Feng'er."
"You beat Xue'er, so you are her fiancé from now on."
"Xue'er, a bet is a bet. You can't throw a tantrum anymore."
"You need to be obedient from now on and get along well with Feng'er. You two go ahead..."
Hearing Qian Daoliu's instructions, Qian Renxue's cheeks grew redder, and her heart pounded like a drum. She wasn't mentally prepared at all. How could she become that detestable guy's fiancée so hastily?
Jin Lingfeng smiled slightly, stepped forward, took Qian Renxue's delicate hand, and said gently, "Xue'er, let's go."
Then, he pulled Qian Renxue and walked towards the main hall.
Qian Renxue timidly raised her head and saw the young man walking ahead. Looking at his back, her gaze became distant.
As she felt the warmth from his palm, a complex, indescribable feeling suddenly bloomed in the girl's heart, making her nervous yet also filled with a maiden's shyness. Her thin lips curved into a small arc...
Suddenly, Jin Lingfeng turned his head to look at her. In that instant, driven by her pride, Qian Renxue almost simultaneously retracted the smile from her lips, replacing it with her usual cold demeanor.
And when Jin Lingfeng turned back, she couldn't help but smile again, feeling excited and joyful, her expression sweet and lovely...
In the courtyard, there was a clear pond with blooming lotuses, exquisitely beautiful.
At this moment, accompanied by light footsteps approaching from afar, a young boy and girl, hand in hand, walked into the area.
The boy looked about six or seven years old, often with a faint smile on his lips. He wore a black tunic, exuding a maturity and handsomeness beyond his years.
The girl was about the same age as the boy, with long golden hair cascading over her shoulders. She wore a golden palace-style short dress that hugged her developing, delicate figure. Although still young, she already possessed the beauty of a stunning woman, captivating with every smile and glance.
The girl was holding the boy's hand, lagging slightly behind. Her cheeks were flushed, and a faint smile played on her thin lips. She looked at the boy before her with complex emotions, feeling both nervous and shy...
Suddenly, Jin Lingfeng stopped by the pond. A bird flew overhead.
He turned around, pointed at the bird, and asked Qian Renxue with a smile, "Xue'er, do you know the difference between you and a bird?"
Qian Renxue glanced at the bird flying away and snorted, "Of course, there's a difference between me and a bird. Because I'm human, not an animal!"
"Jin Lingfeng, how long are you going to hold my hand and take advantage of me?"
"Do you think I'll really agree to be your fiancée just because I lost the duel to you? Dream on!"
Qian Renxue was very nervous because her attitude and feelings towards Jin Lingfeng had already changed significantly on their walk. She wouldn't deny that she had developed a good impression of him now, but this good impression was certainly not enough for her to willingly become his fiancée.
And being her proud self, she instinctively blurted out such aggressive and unreasonable words. Qian Renxue didn't want to be like this, but now that her talent was completely crushed by Jin Lingfeng, she didn't want to be looked down upon or bow her head to this detestable guy.
In fact, with Jin Lingfeng's maturity and handsomeness that surpassed his peers, coupled with his monstrous talent, Qian Renxue didn't dislike him. Although she couldn't accept becoming his fiancée, they could try dating and developing feelings, couldn't they?
After all, a handsome guy with such powerful talent like Jin Lingfeng was even rarer than a beautiful woman. But how could the proud Qian Renxue say such embarrassing words? This made her feel extremely nervous and conflicted...
Just as Qian Renxue was feeling uneasy, Jin Lingfeng smiled slightly, looked into the girl's eyes, and said earnestly, "Xue'er, the difference between you and the birds in the sky is that the birds fly in the sky, but you... are always in my heart!"
Instantly, the young man's gentle words and affectionate gaze made Qian Renxue's heart pound uncontrollably after a moment of slight surprise. Her cheeks flushed crimson, as if they could bleed, making her look incredibly cute.
Qian Renxue was only six years old. How could she withstand Jin Lingfeng's overly mushy teasing? Her mind was instantly in a chaotic mess.
"Jin Lingfeng... you... you have no shame, hmph!"
Qian Renxue felt uncomfortable under his burning gaze. After holding back for a long time, she resentfully spoke, trying to pull her hand from his large palm. However, he only gripped it tighter.
Jin Lingfeng looked at the adorable Qian Renxue before him, realizing his cheesy pickup lines from his past life were quite effective.
But at that moment, he released Qian Renxue's hand and said gently:
"Xue'er, don't worry. From now on, I will keep my distance from you unless you consent."
"But I will start pursuing you. I believe one day you will willingly be with me and become my fiancée."
The sincere smile on the young man's cheeks made Qian Renxue feel incredibly secure at that moment. Unconsciously, her good impression of Jin Lingfeng increased significantly.
She secretly rejoiced. After all, being pursued by such an outstanding young man was something to be proud of. Qian Renxue subconsciously showed a hint of a joyful smile, but her proud nature took over, and she quickly suppressed it.
She let out a light hmph, raising her snow-white chin as she had before, saying:
"Jin Lingfeng, then I'll give you a chance to pursue me!"
"Tomorrow, I'll have my grandfather send someone to accompany me to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain a Soul Ring. If you can still defeat me when I return, then... then I'll allow you to hold my hand!"
Jin Lingfeng very cooperatively patted his chest and said:
"Xue'er, don't worry, I will definitely work hard and seize this opportunity!"
"After all, you are so perfect in my eyes. I swore long ago that I would marry no one but you in this lifetime!"
Qian Renxue's cheeks turned red again, and she glared at Jin Lingfeng with a pout:
"Tch, conceited guy. You haven't even won me over yet, and you're already thinking about marrying me. Dream on!"
"But you better work hard. After all, I am the successor of the Angel Clan, the young mistress of the Martial Soul Hall, and I possess peerless beauty. If I happen to fall for someone else before you win me over, then you'll have absolutely no chance!"
Qian Renxue said with a giggle, her mood becoming very relaxed and happy. This was just her personality – proud, with a bit of a spoiled young lady's temper.
She hadn't expected Jin Lingfeng to not be angry at all. Instead, he deliberately played along, trying to appease her without calling her out. This greatly satisfied Qian Renxue's inner feelings. She looked at the handsome young man in front of her, who was gazing at her tenderly, and for the first time, the thought of dating him might not be so bad crossed her mind
