Is It Fake?

Will you still marry me?

The woman's voice drifted slowly through the sword cave.

Blood-red butterflies fluttered around them once more, swirling and landing around the two of them.

Between them, the faint glow of fireflies drifted, and at that moment, it felt as if they were not in a sword cave surrounded by rocks.

Instead, she returned to that summer, to that starry sky, to that meadow where fireflies fluttered. She was still that girl, and he was still that stubborn, chauvinistic sword immortal.

"Senior... I..."

"I'm so sorry."

Bai Qianluo interrupted Jiang Lin.

I don't know when it started, but her beautiful eyes were already filled with tears.

Her little hands hastily wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and she gently kicked Jiang Lin with her small feet raised from under her skirt.

The woman, her eyes brimming with tears, complained "unreasonably," "It's all your fault, you brat! What did you say? What did you remind me of? It's so embarrassing!"

I'm telling you, you absolutely mustn't tell anyone about what happened today, especially Jiu Yi, otherwise my image in Jiu Yi's eyes will be ruined.

Do you understand?

Alright, let's hurry. We're almost at the Array Core.

Hastily wiping away the glistening tears that were about to fall, Bai Qianluo turned around and walked forward.

But before Bai Qianluo could take a step, Jiang Lin grabbed her delicate hand.

"Jiang Xiaozi, you..."

"Stop looking, senior, you've already found it."

Jiang Lin's voice drifted out slowly from behind Bai Qianluo.

Hearing Jiang Lin's voice, Bai Qianluo's heart trembled slightly, and her eyes flickered. "Jiang Xiaozi, what are you saying? What do you mean I found it? Are you still Mi Hu asleep...?"

When Bai Qianluo turned around again, she saw Jiang Lin's earnest gaze, a gaze she knew all too well...

She almost blurted out that name, but in the end, she pursed her lips.

"Jiang Xiaozi, stop fooling around and get going. I don't have time to play with you. Aren't you still looking for your sister-in-law?"

Bai Qianluo struggled slightly, trying to shake off Jiang Lin's wrist, but Jiang Lin gripped it even tighter, as if he would never let go.

"Senior Bai, you might not believe what I'm about to say." Jiang Lin's palms were already sweating, and his body was even trembling slightly with nervousness.

But Jiang Lin felt he had to say it.

Even if Senior Bai was so resentful that he wanted to kill him, Jiang Lin felt he still had to speak up.

"What are you doing? Are you sick...?"

"I am the person you are looking for, Senior Bai."

"What are you saying, Jiang Xiaozi? Stop messing around... Even if you like me, you can't..."

Bai Qianluo's eyes flickered, her mind in utter confusion; she didn't even know what she was saying.

Although Bai Qianluo most likely believed in her heart that he was Jiang Shi, she still dared not truly believe it until the very last moment.

This might be out of fear, or it might be out of a desire to escape, or more likely it might be because she didn't want to put Jiu Yi in a difficult position.

No matter how many times she wished that the man beside her would say those words to her now, dispelling all her doubts and stopping her from searching anymore.

But now, when Jiang Lin said it in person, the girl was so confused that she didn't know what to do.

"I am Jiang Shi..."

Jiang Lin looked directly into Bai Qianluo's eyes and spoke again.

At this moment, Bai Qianluo had stopped struggling, letting him hold her small hands, her eyelids were lowered, and her delicate body was even trembling slightly.

"I am Jiang Shi, the scumbag who was abandoned by Senior Bai..." Jiang Lin repeated again, "I know Senior Bai might not believe me, and I know Senior Bai might want to kill me right now, but I..."

"Why..."

Before Jiang Lin Jiang Lin could finish speaking, the girl's voice, with her head bowed, slowly drifted out from in front of him.

"Senior Bai..."

"Why are you telling me all this?" The girl raised her head, tears already welling up in her eyes, slowly sliding down her cheeks.

"Why! Why did you have to say it!"

Bai Qianluo threw herself into Jiang Lin 'Jiang Lin arms, her little fists pounding against his chest incessantly.

Why didn't you hide it from me anymore? Why did you tell me?

Let me keep searching! Don't let me find out!

Do you know how much trouble it will cause you to say this?

Do you know what Jiu Yi thinks of me? Why did you have to let me know all this?!

Perhaps she was tired from hammering, Bai Qianluo collapsed into Jiang Lin 'Jiang Lin arms, her tears soaking his chest, the warm moisture slowly seeping into Jiang Lin skin and touching Jiang Lin heart.

Jiang Lin reached out to hug her, but just as his hand was about to touch her shoulder, Jiang Lin lowered it.

Looking up at the cave ceiling, Jiang Lin, who remained motionless, was filled with complex emotions.

He wanted to say something, but every time he opened his mouth, he quickly closed it again. He realized that whatever he said now seemed to be wrong.

She didn't know how much time had passed, nor how long she had cried in Jiang Lin's arms.

The crying gradually subsided, but Bai Qianluo still didn't get up from Jiang Lin's arms. Her little head was pressed against Jiang Lin's chest, and she could only sob softly.

"Do you remember? You don't know about things from countless lifetimes ago."

Nestled in Jiang Lin's arms, Bai Qianluo spoke softly.

No... no...

Jiang Lin answered truthfully, still feeling uneasy, but as he sensed her gradually calming down in his arms, Jiang Lin felt somewhat relieved.

As long as Senior Bai doesn't lose faith and confidence in life, and doesn't turn to the dark side, then he can do whatever he wants.

"So how did you come up with that idea?"

Nestled in Jiang Lin's arms, the girl continued to ask You You.

"At the Dream-Eating Palace, I was with my senior..."

Call me Qianluo.

"Um?"

Like a wronged little girl who couldn't be comforted, Bai Qianluo stepped off her shoes, raised her snow-white bare ankles, and gently stepped on Jiang Lin's instep.

"Don't call me senior, call me Qianluo."

"This..." Jiang Lin in a cold sweat.

"Are you going to call me or not?" Bai Qianluo said in a low, resentful voice, her jade-like toes gently lifting Jiang Lin's toes.

"Thousands... Qianluo..."

Jiang Lin blushed and said.

The current Senior Bai is so cute! It's such a contrast to the Senior Bai we knew before, I can hardly handle it!

"When Qianluo and I entered the Dream-Eating Palace and entered the dream together, I learned that I was Jiang Shi's. Um, if Bai Qian... Qianluo, if you don't believe me, I can..."

"No need, I already knew that."

"Huh?" This time it was Jiang Lin's turn to be dumbfounded...

Like a Little Fox, Bai Qianluo gently nuzzled Jiang Lin's chest.

Finally, like a little girl, she raised her head and looked at Jiang Lin.

"So, what you said about marrying me, was it a lie?"
