Will You Still Marry Me?

"Senior Bai, there's something I need to tell you."

Jiang Lin stopped and looked at Bai Qianluo with a serious expression.

"Hmm? What's wrong...?"

Bai Qianluo also turned around to face Jiang Lin.

At this moment, she gripped the hem of her skirt tightly with her slender hands, her heart began to race, and her gaze involuntarily drifted away from Jiang Lin.

"Senior Bai... I... I'm... it's nothing... let me think about it some more..."

Looking at Bai Qianluo's fair and pretty face, Jiang Lin chickened out again.

When Jiang Lin chickened out, he wanted to punch himself!

"Hey kid, are you flirting with me? Or are you going to confess your feelings to me? Aren't you afraid of Jiu Yi?"

Seeing Jiang Lin's timid appearance, Bai Qianluo, unaware that Jiang Lin already knew she was Jiang Shi, smiled gently, her smile as clear as Clear Spring wine, penetrating straight to the heart.

"This is something I'm really scared of..."

If Jiu Yi finds out that she not only has a master and a senior sister, but is also entangled with Senior Bai, then it might really be a bit troublesome.

"Alright, let's go."

Like an older sister, Bai Qianluo flicked Jiang Lin's forehead and walked forward with her hands behind her back.

"Did you come to the Sword Cave to find him, senior?"

Standing beside Bai Qianluo, Jiang Lin planned to test the waters before revealing that he was Jiang Shi.

Otherwise, just self-destructing like this seems a bit dangerous.

"Um."

Bai Qianluo nodded, her beautiful silver-white eyes gazing at Jiang Lin, the color in them like the flowing clouds in the sky, seemingly melting into one's heart.

"Xiangrong said that I would meet him at the Exquisite Sword Pavilion, so I came."

"I see..." Jiang Lin lowered his eyes, feeling even more guilty.

"Senior, you've been searching for ten thousand years, haven't you?"

"Ten thousand years..." Bai Qianluo, with her hands behind her back, looked up at the cave ceiling that glowed with a ghostly blue light. "Yes, without realizing it, ten thousand years have already passed."

Jiang Lin: "Senior, are you still unable to let go?"

Bai Qianluo shook her head. "No way, I've been searching for ten thousand years. If I give up now, wouldn't my youth have been wasted?"

For a moment, Jiang Lin found himself unable to refute.

"And besides," Bai Qianluo kicked a pebble in front of her and smiled, "I like him. He's the only person I've ever liked in my life... He said he would marry me."

"Ugh!" Jiang Lin clutched his chest, feeling as if he had been struck by another knife!

My God! What a tragedy!

What sins did I commit in my past life with Jiang Shi...? What did I do to deserve such a wonderful girl...?

"Jiang Xiaozi, tell me, am I a stupid person?"

The woman spoke slowly, her tone as gentle as a spring breeze caressing Jiang Lin's heart, carrying a tenderness that could touch the softest part of one's soul.

"That's pretty silly."

Jiang Lin sighed deeply and remarked with emotion.

"In the mortal world, everyone talks about Fox Spirits Fox Spirits. In my hometown, there are also many stories of Fox Spirits disrupting the government and bringing disaster to the country and its people."

But how could the world know that while everyone condemns Fox Spirits, among all the demons, only those so-called Fox Spirits are truly the most devoted?

"You little rascal." Bai Qianluo stretched out her fair little hand and patted Jiang Lin's shoulder hard. "Where did you learn these words from? Did you manage to flirt with Jiu Yi like this?"

"That shouldn't be the case," Jiang Lin smiled. "The reason Jiu Yi likes me is definitely because of my handsome appearance and my interesting personality."

"Your soul is indeed quite interesting, but your appearance isn't exactly the most beautiful," Bai Qianluo teased with a laugh. "Back then, countless demons and humans with better appearances than you came to propose to Jiu Yi."

Um... and the result?

"As a result, they were all swatted away by Jiu Yi's claw."

Jiang Lin said narcissistically, "It makes perfect sense."

"Honestly, I don't know why Jiu Yi likes you. Or rather, I don't think Jiu Yi would ever like anyone. Do you have some kind of good point, kid?"

"Perhaps," Jiang Lin said, feigning a moment of thought, "It's one of my specialties."

"..." Bai Qianluo didn't really want to talk to this narcissistic guy anymore.

"And what about Senior Bai? How did he from ten thousand years ago make you so Senior Bai?" Jiang Lin asked, looking at the woman beside her.

"Him...?"

Bai Qianluo's voice trailed off slightly, and in her eyes, which were gradually falling into thought, Jiang Lin saw endless tenderness and love.

"He's very different from you. You're always so unserious, but he's incredibly serious about everything. You seem to be able to maintain a positive attitude no matter what happens, but he always has a long face, looking like he has a grudge against everyone."

You might say strange but funny things, but he's always taciturn, sometimes not saying a word for six months.

However, he seems to be a bit like you. He has an insatiable love life, while you are overly enthusiastic. You are both clearly intelligent, but you are both incredibly oblivious in certain aspects.

You are all Sword Dao Genius, but you never seem to consider yourselves geniuses.

Moreover, you are all very stubborn. It seems that once you've set your mind on something, you're determined to do it well and will never change your mind for the rest of your life.

Yeah, pretty silly... kind of silly...

"But Senior Bai..." Jiang Lin lowered his eyes slightly, "He's gone after all."

Yes... he's gone after all.

I know...

Xiangrong once told me the same thing.

I understand.

Sometimes I think about it at night.

Even if I find him, so what?

Will he still remember me?

Ten thousand years have passed, countless lifetimes have gone by, is he still the same person he was back then?

Before coming here, I was constantly worried: what if he finds someone he likes in this lifetime?

Should I bother him?

Should I bother him?

But I still can't let go...

Even though I know he might not be the same person anymore, even though I know he'll have someone he loves in this life, even though I know he might forget everything about me.

But I still want to get closer to him.

I want to find him, and then look at him.

Ask him.

Will you still marry me?

Ahead of Jiang Lin, a girl whose voice was already trembling slightly turned around.

As she turned around, Jiang Lin's eyes narrowed, and his heart ached terribly.

Within this sword cave, a faint blue light slowly fell upon the teardrop at the corner of her eye.

The girl, with tears welling up in her eyes, stood with her hands behind her back, her eyes crinkling into a smile that was heartbreaking.

Will you still marry me?
