This Woman Is From Heaven, Seldom Seen on Earth

"Marry you? You?"

Ye Lingling stopped crying and looked up at Fang Xuan, who was standing not far away, her eyes filled with confusion.

"Yes, marry you. Rest assured, I am not the type to shirk responsibility, and besides, you wouldn't be losing out by marrying me."

As he spoke, five spirit rings lit up behind Fang Xuan.

Two yellow, two purple, and one black—the standard, optimal spirit ring configuration.

"A... Spirit King?!"

Ye Lingling's red, swollen eyes were filled with disbelief.

One had to realize that Fang Xuan did not look old at all, at most eighteen or nineteen years of age.

To have reached the rank of Spirit King at such an age, his talent was terrifyingly high.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Fang Xuan, I am 18 years old, a level 52 Spirit King, and my martial soul is the Miracle Seed."

Even with her own talent, she would never have been able to reach the Spirit King realm in another two years.

It was no wonder he had spoken of marrying her; with such talent, she wouldn't be losing out by being with him.

Furthermore, given the current situation, she had no other choice even if she didn't want to—she had already given herself to him.

"Don't worry, if you truly do not wish to, I will not force you. However, I will take full responsibility for what happened today; after all, I am also at fault."

Fang Xuan's attitude was sincere, which earned him quite a bit of favor in Ye Lingling's eyes.

"That... this matter wasn't your fault alone. The primary responsibility was indeed mine, I..."

Ye Lingling trailed off, too embarrassed to continue. She was naturally shy, and being able to handle the situation to this extent was already her limit.

Asking her to verbally agree to marry him was truly difficult for her; after all, they had no emotional foundation, and a day ago, they had been complete strangers.

If not for this incident, they might never have crossed paths, let alone discussed marriage.

Seeing Ye Lingling's demeanor, Fang Xuan roughly understood what she was thinking.

She had forgiven him, meaning half of his life was now secure.

As for the other half, it would depend on his future performance.

Dugu Yan's threat still loomed, but as long as Ye Lingling stood on his side, he doubted she would dare to do anything to him.

After all, if she killed him, her best friend would be a widow for life, and the lineage of the Nine-Heart Begonia would be completely severed.

In this situation, the most Fang Xuan expected from her was some petty schemes to mess with him, but as long as Dugu Bo remained unharmed, everything else could be managed.

"Um, could you please hand me my clothes?"

Watching Fang Xuan stand there without reacting, Ye Lingling felt a sense of trepidation.

She wasn't sure what he was thinking, but she knew that if she didn't return soon, Dugu Yan would likely come looking for her.

If it were discovered that she hadn't returned all night, it would be troublesome.

"Oh, right. Of course."

Fang Xuan snapped out of his thoughts and hurried to pick up the clothes scattered around.

As Ye Lingling watched him gather her garments, her face grew redder with each piece he picked up.

Her mind involuntarily drifted back to the madness of the previous night.

In the end, she became so shy that the blood rushed to her head, and she fainted on the spot.

Seeing this, Fang Xuan was startled.

He rushed to her side to check on her.

Seeing that she had merely fainted, he let out a sigh of relief.

However, since Ye Lingling was unconscious, what was he to do about her clothes? He couldn't just leave her exposed like that.

After some deliberation, Fang Xuan decided to help her get dressed himself; after all, she would be his wife in the future, so it didn't seem like a big deal.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Dugu Yan was frantic after discovering Ye Lingling was missing.

How could her best friend just vanish into thin air?

Soto City was crowded and chaotic, and Ye Lingling was a fragile support-type spirit master with no combat strength; what if someone bullied her?

The more Dugu Yan thought about it, the more anxious she became, pacing back and forth like an ant on a hot pan.

Yu Tianheng watched this scene with a sense of helplessness; as the team captain, he bore undeniable responsibility for a missing team member.

But Ye Lingling hadn't said a word to him when she left.

Still, now was not the time to assign blame; they had to find her first.

"I hope nothing has happened to her."

Ye Lingling was the only support-type spirit master on the entire team, and the healing capabilities of the Nine-Heart Begonia were self-evident.

If not for the inherent flaw of the martial soul—which dictated that only two Nine-Heart Begonias could exist in the world at any given time—its status might even surpass the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, known as the number one support martial soul.

Most importantly, she was his girlfriend's best friend.

If anything were to actually happen, Dugu Yan would risk her life to fight him.

If Dugu Bo were alerted, he would be in for a world of suffering.

After all, even though Dugu Bo was known as the weakest Titled Douluo, he was still a Titled Douluo nonetheless; dealing with him would be as easy as pie.

However, just as he was feeling restless, the person he had sent to gather information finally sent word back.

"I've found out. After the match yesterday, Miss Ye went to a place called the 'Plant Tea House'."

"I didn't ask you where the place was; I asked you where she is!"

Yu Tianheng exploded, standing up and smashing the teacup in his hand onto the floor.

He wanted the person, so why was this guy reporting a location to him?

"Where is it? Did you see Lingling? Take me there quickly."

Dugu Yan didn't care about all that; as long as there was a lead, it was at least better than waiting around like this.

Seeing Dugu Yan like this, Yu Tianheng didn't say anything more, then stood up and followed Dugu Yan as they rushed toward the Plant Tea House.

Meanwhile, inside the tea house, Ye Lingling had already awakened from her dizziness.

However, her face remained incredibly flushed.

Her jade-like hands held a teacup, the fragrance of the tea within overflowing and refreshing the heart; it was no different from the rumored effects, perhaps even exceeding them.

But right now, Ye Lingling wasn't concerned with the tea in her hands; instead, she looked down at the clothes on her body.

They were the ones Fang Xuan had put on her when she fainted.

Thinking about how she had been held by him while being dressed made her feel incredibly shy.

Even though she had already acknowledged their relationship in her heart, she still felt embarrassed.

Fang Xuan, however, didn't have much of a reaction to this; after all, the reactions he should have had already occurred while he was dressing her.

It was truly thanks to his firm willpower, otherwise, he would have surely made a mistake again.

Ye Lingling's figure and appearance were simply too unfair; even thinking about it now made his imagination run wild, his gaze even drifting unconsciously toward those slender legs encased in white silk stockings.

With her exquisite face, graceful figure, and shoulder-length silver hair, every gesture she made exuded an elegant and refined temperament.

It reminded Fang Xuan of a saying from his past life on Blue Star.

"Such a woman belongs only in the heavens; rarely seen in the mortal realm."

And now, this fairy who had fallen to the mortal world had a relationship with him; one could only say that fate was truly ironic.

"It's getting late. After you finish this cup of tea, I'll accompany you back to explain everything clearly to your companions."

What was meant to come would come eventually; Fang Xuan wasn't prepared to run away, choosing instead to face the difficulty head-on.

Dugu Yan was nothing more than a mere trifle; she couldn't do anything to him.

Just as he was thinking this, the front door was suddenly kicked open.

Immediately following, a large group of people came charging in.

The person leading them was none other than Dugu Yan.

When Dugu Yan saw Ye Lingling sitting there drinking tea, the heavy stone in her heart finally dropped.

But as soon as it dropped, she noticed that Ye Lingling's state was wrong.

Her clothes seemed somewhat disheveled, her hair, which should have been neatly combed, had become a bit messy, and why was her face so red?

Could it be...!

"You beast! I'll kill you!"
