Opening Their Hearts by the River and Pledging Their Love

"Do you know, if it weren't for your appearance, I might still be the Acting Supervisory Elder, or even have a completely different fate, but ultimately, there would still be the same outcome."

Xiao Tian was slightly taken aback. He turned to look at Ya Fei, choosing not to speak but waiting for her to continue.

Xiao Tian took off his Alchemist's robe and draped it over Ya Fei, wrapping her up.

Ya Fei touched the long robe she was wearing, took a deep breath, and continued:

"From the moment I was born into this large family, I knew that since I had no talent for cultivation, I might become a victim of the Family Marriage Alliance, and the end result would be that I would be manipulated and bound by the family, marrying someone I didn't like and spending my life with them."

As Ya Fei spoke, a hint of resentment and helplessness flashed in her eyes.

"So ever since I was old enough to understand, I've decided that since I can't have the power, I should seize the authority so that I can break free from the control of my family. But, unfortunately, things don't go as planned. Many times, things aren't easy, and sometimes I even feel powerless and desperate."

"But your appearance and your words in Utan City gave me hope. When I first saw your talent and your outstanding appearance, I did have a lot of goodwill towards you. Everyone has an appreciation for beauty."

"At that time, I was considering whether to choose you or someone from the Mu Family family, who was chosen for a marriage alliance. I would feel better if I chose you, at least you're my type."

Xiao Tian listened quietly, and he could feel the hardships Ya Fei had endured and the despair of her futile struggles.

"Back in Utan City, I knew perfectly well that you were after my beauty, and I was taking advantage of your talent and your limitless future potential. Don't think of me as some fickle woman; I've always considered things carefully. If I lose this gamble, perhaps I'll have no choice but to leave this world in despair."

Xiao Tian looked at Ya Fei Ya Fei, gently took her slightly cold hands, and said softly, "I knew what you were thinking from the beginning, because only in this way could your family's wishes be fulfilled, and as I said before, I would help you change your fate."

"But it seems I've succeeded, Sister Ya Fei. Things are different now. You're no longer that pitiful person bound by your family and forced into an arranged marriage, because you have me behind you."

Ya Fei held Xiao Tian 'Xiao Tian hand tightly, feeling the warmth of his palm, and the fear and unease in her heart gradually subsided.

"Younger Brother Xiao Tian, I think I've really fallen for you. Maybe it's because of the help you gave me during my training, maybe it's because you gave me the Youth Preservation Pill, maybe it's because of your shameless and irresponsible behavior, but I've already started to have a genuine liking for you."

"But during the last struggle in the study, when Lei Ou suddenly attacked me, and death loomed over me, I realized that you seemed to have completely entered my heart. Plus, your unwavering act of shielding me gave me an unprecedented sense of security. I've completely fallen for you."

"Sister, I'm completely captivated by you. I wonder if you'd be willing to accept me as your sister."

Ya Fei's eyes sparkled with tenderness as she looked at Xiao Tian with gentle, watery eyes.

Xiao Tian smiled softly, his eyes filled with tenderness and love. He reached out his free hand and gently put his arm around Ya Fei's shoulder.

Ya Fei nestled in Xiao Tian like a docile little female kitten.

"Sister Ya Fei, if you choose to be with me, you might have to give up the power you currently have. What would you choose?"

"I chose power before because I needed it to help me escape my family and protect myself. I've truly fallen in love with you. I'm willing to give up everything for you, and I'm willing to be the little woman behind you. I only ask that you don't abandon me or forget me."

Ya Fei nestled in Xiao Tian, her voice solemn and powerful as she expressed her true feelings, her eyes also holding a hint of allure as she looked at Xiao Tian.

"Okay, I'll never abandon you. You have to stay by my side forever."

A happy smile appeared on Xiao Tian's lips as he looked tenderly at Ya Fei in his arms.

Ya Fei nodded slightly, her eyes filled with even more tenderness, and her face beamed with a genuine smile of happiness.

She released her grip on Xiao Tian's hand, wrapped her arms around his neck, stood on tiptoe, and gave Xiao Tian a peck on the lips.

Just as Ya Fei was about to leave, Xiao Tianyi hand and pulled her close to his body with the other.

"You think you can just take advantage of me and leave? It's not that simple."

Xiao Tian kissed her alluring lips directly. Ya Fei struggled symbolically for a moment, then responded passionately.

After a long while, their lips parted, their foreheads touched, and their lips were still glistening with moisture.

The two of them nestled quietly by the river, watching the water flow gently, enjoying this peaceful moment.

As time went by, Ya Fei and Xiao Tian's feelings for each other deepened. During this time, Ya Fei directly gave up her management position at the Auction House, leaving only a powerful Elder position.

Mittel Tengshan guessed what was going on and agreed immediately.

Because Xiao Tian and Ya Fei were often seen together, most of the Mittel Family knew that their most beautiful daughter was now taken.

Many who secretly admired Ya Fei were heartbroken and devastated.

Inside Xiao Tian's room, Xiao Tian and Ya Fei parted their lips, and Ya Fei collapsed into Xiao Tian.

"Fei Er, do you want to cultivate?"

Xiao Tian held Ya Fei in his arms, his fingers twirling Ya Fei's loose hair.

At first Ya Fei was very embarrassed when someone several years younger than her called her Fei Er, but under Xiao Tian's persistent and shameless calling her that, she went from resisting to completely accepting it.

"No matter how much I cultivate this talent, it's useless. Just being by your side is enough for me."

Ya Fei gently stroked Xiao Tian's face, looking at Xiao Tian with seductive eyes. "Xiao Tian, I'm not going back. This is a beautiful time; let's not waste it."

Are you sure?

Xiao Tian touched Ya Fei's smooth face and asked seriously.

Ya Fei did not answer, but instead proved her choice with her actions.

If Xiao Tian could still hold back under these circumstances, he might as well join the Eastern Depot.

Singing and exercising all night.

The next morning, Xiao Tian was awakened by the blinding sunlight.

Turning to look at Ya Fei, who was still asleep, a gentle smile appeared on his face as he reached out and softly touched her cheek.

Looking at Ya Fei's face, which showed weakness and a hint of fear, he had already been very restrained and caring.

"System, you can begin the transfer."

Xiao Tian said something to the system, and a white, faint light passed through Xiao Tian's hand that was touching Ya Fei and entered Ya Fei's body.

"Xiao Tian, I think there's a white ball of light inside my body."

Ya Fei felt something was wrong with her body, sat up, and asked Xiao Tian in confusion.
