Squeaky-Cute Wants to Get Married? / Take the Initiative, Squeaky-Cute!

With a soft hum from Yae Sakura, Ling Xi and Yae Sakura successfully fired the first shot in the technological and developmental era of the new civilization. The two sides had a full exchange of views on civilization technology and genetic issues, laying a solid foundation for in-depth cooperation between the Previous Era and new civilizations!

"Haaaaaah..."

At home, Rin was watching anime on her phone, yawning and glancing curiously out the window. Strange, usually when her sister and Ling Xi went out on patrol, they'd be back in about half an hour, but tonight...

It's been almost an hour! Why haven't they come back yet?

Rin originally wanted to wait for Yae Sakura to come back before they went to sleep together, but she had already waited for so long.

Huh? Wait a minute...

Ling Xi... could she be secretly eating something delicious with her sister behind my back?

Damn it, those two ate such a delicious meal without inviting me! When Ling Xi comes back, I'm going to bite him to death!

Chapter 544: Sobbing I want to get married?

"Sister, what time did you get home last night?"

The next day, Rin found that Yae Sakura had returned and couldn't help but ask the question out of curiosity. She didn't even know when she fell asleep last night, but her sister definitely hadn't returned before she fell asleep.

"Eh..."

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Yae Sakura's face as she chuckled, "Last night, didn't I go out with Ling Xi to patrol the village? And then..."

Yae Sakura glanced at Ling Xi, hoping for Ling Xi help, but found him happily eating his lunch, so she couldn't resist stepping on his foot...

"Ugh... cough..."

Ling Xi almost spat out her food, but what could she do when she saw the look in her little darling's eyes that seemed to want to kill someone?

"Ahem, Rin, it's like this."

Ling Xi coughed lightly, then said in a serious tone, "Last night, your sister and I went out on patrol, and unfortunately we discovered a trace of Honkai. We investigated all night and didn't return until this morning."

"The aura of Honkai..."

Hearing this answer, Rin seemed somewhat surprised, because she also knew what Honkai was, and immediately asked, "Then have you found anything?"

"Of course."

Ling Xi smiled confidently, "Your sister and I worked hard all night and finally nipped the Honkai in the bud. Don't worry, the village is safe."

"Oh oh."

Hearing this, Rin smiled, seemingly without any suspicion. She simply leaned closer to Yae Sakura and sniffed gently, saying with a smile, "But why does my sister smell so much like Ling Xi? It seems that investigating the Honkai last night was really tough."

"Cough cough, are you alright?"

Yae Sakura also coughed lightly. She didn't know if she was investigating the Honkai last night, but it was true that she had a tough time last night. Although she finished in the first half of the night, neither of them wanted to move at the time, so they didn't come back.

When I woke up in the morning, Ling Xi had caught me and given me a severe beating again, so...

It was tough, really tough.

"Sister, did you twist your ankle?"

Rin looked at Yae Sakura with a big smile and said, "Could it be because you walked too far last night and twisted your ankle?"

Although Yae Sakura was trying her best to walk normally, Rin still noticed something was off. After all, her father had always been strict with her posture since she was little, whether it was sitting, standing, or walking. But...

My older sister's walking posture today was clearly a bit off, as if... she was injured.

"It's nothing, just a minor injury."

Yae Sakura forced a smile as she looked at Rin, while inwardly she hated Ling Xi. If she had known the aftereffects would be so severe, she should have... should have gone home decisively last night.

"Oh..."

Rin merely squinted at the two of them, but didn't say anything more...

"Um, Ling Xi..."

In the afternoon, Yae Sakura also came to Ling Xi's room on her own initiative.

"Cherry!"

Upon seeing Yae Sakura arrive, Ling Xi took the initiative to greet her. Seeing that no one else was following behind her, he decisively closed the door and casually put his arm around Yae Sakura's waist.

"Hmm..."

Ling Xi suddenly hugged her again. Although Yae Sakura felt a little embarrassed, she did not resist.

So Ling Xi carried Yae Sakura to the bedside, sat down together, and asked, "Sakura, is something the matter?"

"Ugh..."

A hint of hesitation flashed across Yae Sakura's face as she whispered, "Ling Xi... last night... last night you gave me everything, right? Then I..."

Yae Sakura asked softly, "What if I get pregnant...?"

"Huh?"

Upon hearing Yae Sakura's question, Ling Xi almost instantly understood what the girl meant. Indeed, last night he had no intention of protecting Yae Sakura all; he had given her almost everything, so...

So, this girl is worried about this issue.

However, Ling Xi wasn't worried about this problem at all, since it was simply impossible, or rather... the possibility was infinitely close to zero.

After all, in the Previous Era, out of so many wives, plus the later twins, only the first one Seele, was infected, while the others showed absolutely no warning signs. So...

Yae Sakura obviously couldn't react.

However, seeing Yae Sakura's nervous expression, Ling Xi suddenly felt like teasing her, so he casually said, "What does that have to do with me?"

Ling Xi smiled slightly and said, "After all, this is your business, it has nothing to do with me."

"Huh?"

Upon hearing Ling Xi's answer, Yae Sakura was stunned, her face showing utter disbelief. She had never imagined that Ling Xi would actually...

"Hehe, just kidding!"

Before Yae Sakura could react, Ling Xi pulled her into his arms and laughed, "If you're pregnant, then let's have the baby. Do you think I can't afford to raise you?"

Yae Sakura "..."

"Snort!"

Yae Sakura gave a slightly aggrieved hum, because she had almost cried because of Ling Xi's joke.

"Okay, okay, I was wrong, I was wrong, Sakura, don't be angry."

Ling Xi quickly apologized and said with a smile, "Although what I said just now was a joke, what I said afterward was from the bottom of my heart. As long as you have this idea, I will definitely support you. Don't worry about the future... as long as I'm here, everything will be fine."

"But..."

Yae Sakura said with some hesitation, "But our affair... we did this without permission. If I got pregnant before I was married, then... Father will kill me."

In fact, Yae Sakura said this, she was basically implying something to Ling Xi, no... it should be said that she was already explicitly telling Ling Xi!

After all, in this era, let alone getting pregnant out of wedlock, even having sex before marriage would result in a severe beating if discovered, or even being considered a disgrace and kicked out of the house.

While Yae Sakura received modern knowledge and education from Ling Xi, so her thinking is naturally not old-fashioned, her Tokiomi is uncertain, and...

Even if they turn a blind eye to Tokiomi, it's impossible to hide it from the entire village!

So now Yae Sakura is actually a little anxious, because if she really gets infected but hasn't married Ling Xi yet, her situation will be very awkward. She either has to leave with Ling Xi before they're discovered, or...

After being discovered by the villagers, he left with his whole family!

After all, Yae Sakura had been through it all and knew how conservative people were in this era, and that her own affairs... were absolutely not allowed!

In short, if it's not handled properly, it will cause a lot of trouble.

Therefore, Yae Sakura decisively chose to come to Ling Xi, wanting Ling Xi to confirm this matter. As long as her relationship with Ling Xi is confirmed, she will not panic at all even if she gets caught in a trap later, and may even feel happy.

Chapter 545: Let's take the initiative, sob sob!

"This..."

Ling Xi thought for a moment and smiled, "It's alright. When you're pregnant, I'll go to your father myself and ask him to agree to what we're going to do. How about that?"

Ling Xi didn't care too much about this matter, since Yae Sakura couldn't possibly get pregnant. As for going to find Tokiomi now... Ling Xi didn't have that idea for the time being.

Of course, it's not that Ling Xi doesn't want to marry Yae Sakura, it's just that she feels there's no need for it at the moment.

After all, Yae Sakura is a Tokiomi maiden trained by Yae Sakura to take office so he can retire and slack off.

As for himself, if he were to steal Yae Sakura's place now, Yae Sakura would obviously be unable to continue serving as a shrine maiden, and Tokiomi would probably be so angry that she would die on the spot.

Therefore, Ling Xi's wish is for Yae Sakura to serve as a priestess first, and then step down after a new priestess has been trained. At that time, she can bring up the matter of marriage, and Yae Sakura Tokiomi probably won't have any objections.

In short...

Ling Xi is not opposed to marriage, but it can't be now.

Besides, the problems that Yae Sakura was worried about at the beginning will never happen, so it doesn't really matter when she gets married!

Another point is that he... is not satisfied with just Yae Sakura, but hopes to take Rin with him!

Therefore, Ling Xi hopes to win over Lin as well, and then take both girls in at the same time. That's... the true meaning of life!

Well, although Tokiomi might still draw his sword and challenge me to a duel when the time comes...

"Eh..."

Upon hearing Ling Xi's answer, Yae Sakura was taken aback, and seemed somewhat conflicted, because...

Ling Xi didn't refuse him, but... she would only agree after he was actually pregnant.

Moreover, he couldn't find any reason to refute Ling Xi's statement, since that was exactly the reason he used to approach Ling Xi, and Ling Xi had agreed...

Yae Sakura: "..." This is too much for me...

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

Seeing that Yae Sakura looked a little depressed, Ling Xi asked her what was wrong.

"Nothing..."

Yae Sakura pouted, somewhat unwilling to acknowledge this guy...

"Sakura, do you have to be in such a hurry?"

Looking at Yae Sakura's expression, how could Ling Xi not understand what this girl was thinking?

"I'm not in a hurry."

Yae Sakura hummed softly and said, "I'm just afraid someone will run away. After all, they've already tricked me into their hands, and their goal has been achieved. Once they're done playing with me, they can run away. Hmph!"

Ling Xi: "..." Are you playing with parallel sentences here...?

"Cherry."

Ling Xi gently hugged Yae Sakura, making her look at him, and smiled, "I'm just a little worried right now. After all, your father is grooming you to be the shrine's heir, and we haven't even taken over the things we discussed yesterday yet. If I go to your father now and ask him to marry you to me, I'm afraid he'll just grab a knife and chop me up."

"What's there to be afraid of? I'll just have a one-on-one fight with my father then."

Yae Sakura snorted, "Father can't beat me now."

Ling Xi: "..." You're too filial...

"There's no need to rush."

Ling Xi smiled slightly and said, "After all, I'm still living at your house now, and I don't have my own place. If we get married now, where will we live?"

"You're staying at our house?"

Yae Sakura said earnestly, "Ling Xi, you were already part of our family. Even after I married you, we're still family, so why can't you live in our house?"

"Staying at your place... um, this..."

Upon hearing this, a word immediately popped into Ling Xi's mind, and at the same time, a familiar background music involuntarily began to play in her head...

Thump thump thump... thump thump... doo doo doo doo...

That's right, the three-year period has come to an end. Welcome Dragon King Returns!
