Ah Yin Agrees to Marry

"I told you, I would protect you."

Qian Yunxiao's tone was exceptionally resolute at that moment.

Ah Yin said softly, "I... I'm a soul beast. Getting close to me... will bring you harm."

She thought of the threat Qianjun Douluo had made before leaving.

Ah Yin did not dare imagine what kind of harm the news of Qian Yunxiao being with a soul beast like her would bring him if it got out.

Qian Yunxiao had been too good to her. Ah Yin could not stay by his side any longer.

From now on... she would wander the world alone.

She would never forget the days she had spent with Qian Yunxiao.

"Don't worry. A mere Clear Sky Sect is nothing to fear. For you, even if I have to make an enemy of the entire Douluo Continent, I would not hesitate!"

Even Qian Yunxiao felt embarrassed. Saying such words made his old face flush.

But Ah Yin truly liked hearing them right now.

She saw the lovestruck look on Qian Yunxiao's face.

Foolish as she was, she had no idea Qian Yunxiao merely lusted after her body.

Still, if that desire lasted long enough, sparks were bound to fly, and affection would grow over time.

"Ah Yin... will you be my wife?"

At that moment, Qian Yunxiao took out a ring he had prepared beforehand.

It was not particularly precious.

Qian Yunxiao wanted to prove that he was not relying on his family's wealth to marry a wife!

Of course, he could not possibly have prepared some cheap, commonplace trinket.

This was already the finest one in Skywater City, worth a mere 190,000 Gold Soul Coins.

At the same time, the ring was also a fairly good Soul Tool.

To avoid giving Tang Hao even the slightest chance, Qian Yunxiao had to make his move.

"Hall Master, I..."

Ah Yin was deeply conflicted now, unsure whether she should agree.

Refuse? She could not do that! Agree? It felt too fast! But then she remembered that she had already known Qian Yunxiao for three months, which did not seem so short! For a hesitant woman like Ah Yin, a forceful advance was exactly what was needed.

Qian Yunxiao directly placed the ring on her finger, leaving Ah Yin no chance to regret it.

Ah Yin's exquisite, jade-like slender hand was simply too much for Qian Yunxiao to resist, and he gently kissed it.

Ah Yin was not a princess. She was an empress.

And Qian Yunxiao was no longer a Hall Master, but... a knight.

After Qian Yunxiao put a ring on this peerlessly beautiful soul beast, she became his possession completely and utterly that very day.

The moment she put on the ring Qian Yunxiao had prepared for her, Ah Yin knew that her heart was filled with sweetness and happiness.

She also understood what choice her heart had made.

"Ah... Hall Master, what are you doing...?"

Ah Yin suddenly cried out, because Qian Yunxiao had already lifted her into a Princess Carry.

Though Ah Yin was startled, her jade-like arms still involuntarily wrapped around Qian Yunxiao's shoulders, gripping him lightly.

When she saw that Qian Yunxiao was heading toward her azure single bed, Ah Yin roughly understood what he intended to do.

Her heart was already beating wildly.

What would it... feel like? She had heard it would be an agonizing pain?

After Qian Yunxiao laid her down, Ah Yin was unable to speak for a while. She did not stop him either, even when he had nearly left her unable to breathe.

Only when she felt that Qian Yunxiao had gone a little too far did Ah Yin struggle free. "Hall Master... we... we're not married yet..."

Yes, Ah Yin still had her own demands.

Before she married Qian Yunxiao, she would absolutely not do certain things.

At this point, Qian Yunxiao naturally had to respect Ah Yin's wishes.

Otherwise, what difference was there between him and that beast Qian Xunji?

"Ah Yin, then... when will you marry me? Tomorrow?"

Qian Yunxiao placed his hand on Ah Yin's soft blue hair and asked gently.

When Qian Yunxiao suddenly stopped, Ah Yin actually felt a trace of disappointment, leaving her too afraid to think about what was wrong with her.

But she still shook her head. "One day... is too fast, isn't it...?"

Qian Yunxiao continued, "Then what about the day after tomorrow?"

Ah Yin shook her head like a rattle-drum again.

The day after tomorrow was still too fast!

Two consecutive refusals made Qian Yunxiao very unhappy!

Yet he did not show it. Instead, he considered Ah Yin's feelings and said earnestly, "You're right. Ah Yin, you are the most beautiful woman in the world. Your wedding must be held beautifully, made into the grandest wedding on the Douluo Continent. Only then would it be worthy of you. We should make more preparations!"

Ah Yin was shy by nature and afraid of people.

There was no way she could hold such a grand wedding.

Qian Yunxiao said that purely to lay the groundwork for what came next.

As Ah Yin listened to Qian Yunxiao, she began imagining that moment in her mind.

She imagined completing a wedding ceremony with Qian Yunxiao while tens of thousands, perhaps even hundreds of thousands, watched them.

Watched by tens of thousands...

No, merely imagining such a scene made Ah Yin's entire body go weak.

"No... no need for that. We... we can just hold the ceremony by ourselves. It doesn't need to be so grand. As long as... your sincerity is there, Hall Master, that's enough."

Ah Yin repeatedly shook her head, rejecting Qian Yunxiao's suggestion.

This was naturally within Qian Yunxiao's expectations.

Ah Yin had originally been a soul beast.

Soul beasts naturally did not view love with the same sense of ceremony as humans.

Ah Yin certainly still could not accept it.

But it was not a big problem. They could take it slowly.

Qian Yunxiao would properly teach Ah Yin to become an "outwardly confident empress" and an inwardly fragile queen.

"You don't want it? Really? Ah Yin, don't try to save money for your Hall Master. You are the most beautiful woman, and you deserve such a wedding."

Qian Yunxiao was overjoyed inside, but his face showed that he was having a hard time accepting Ah Yin's suggestion.

Ah Yin answered honestly, "Hall Master, I like a quiet life. Don't make it too ostentatious. Besides... I'm still a soul beast. I'm... I'm not worthy of you. It would be enough if I could stay quietly by your side."

As she said this, Ah Yin became sorrowful as well.

Why was she a soul beast? Why had she met someone as outstanding as Qian Yunxiao under such circumstances?

What Ah Yin did not know was that the fact that she was both soul beast and human made Qian Yunxiao even more excited.

Because in the world of the Douluo Continent, creatures like her were the most sought after.

"Then let's get married three days from now! Tomorrow, I'll take you to have a wedding dress made. The day after tomorrow, we'll choose a suitable venue. The day after that will be perfect. What do you think, Ah Yin? I can't wait to be with you."

At that moment, Qian Yunxiao displayed his scumbag nature to the fullest.

Seeing the anticipation in Qian Yunxiao's eyes, Ah Yin ultimately chose not to disappoint him and nodded in agreement.

Wonderful! Qian Yunxiao pulled Ah Yin into his arms and whispered sweet nothings to her.

Only at midnight did Qian Yunxiao let Ah Yin go to sleep and leave.

There was no helping it. Ah Yin's bed was simply too small; it was only a single bed.

After Qian Yunxiao left, Ah Yin truly came to hate that single bed.

Perhaps because he was about to become the male lead's father, Qian Yunxiao practically walked with the wind at his back.

"Second Highness!"

Not long after leaving Ah Yin's small manor, Qianjun Douluo appeared behind him as unpredictably as a ghost.
