Just as Huo Yuhao was immersed in this atmosphere, a voice rang out from outside his tent.
" Yuhao, are you asleep?" The voice was Xu Jiujiu out.
Huo Yuhao was also puzzled. What did this girl want to do so late at night in front of his tent?
However, not wanting to offend them, he spoke up and said, "I haven't yet."
Then he left the tent and saw Xu Jiujiu's figure. Xu Jiujiu stood under the moonlight with a blush on her face. The stars were scattered around her, and she had a unique beauty. She lowered her head slightly, and her cheeks were flushed with a faint blush. She had a bright and moving feeling in the night.
Huo Yuhao didn't just see Xu Jiujiu; he could also sense that Vina, Du Busi, and others were hiding behind a tent not far away, eavesdropping.
Of course, he wouldn't pay any attention to it.
Princess Jiujiu, the night is long and I can't sleep. So you can't sleep either?
Huo Yuhao said it casually.
Looking at Huo Yuhao for Xu Jiujiu, she felt a flutter in her heart, as if her eyes were beating in unison. "Um, Yuhao, can we take a walk? I want to clear my head with you, and also, well..."
Her voice grew softer and softer.
Huo Yuhao smiled gently, "It's alright, you can talk about things here if you want to relax."
Huo Yuhao took out two chairs directly from his Storage Soul Tool.
" Princess Jiujiu, the moonlight is exceptionally beautiful tonight. Would you do me the honor of a chat?"
Xu Jiujiu, she nodded and then sat down next to Huo Yuhao.
Her voice was soft, but trembled slightly as she spoke, " Yuhao, I want to ask you, what about my feelings for you...?"
When Huo Yuhao looked at her, she seemed to be burned by his gaze and hurriedly changed her words: "What do you think of our Star Luo Empire?"
Behind the tents not far away, Vina and Du Busi simultaneously covered their faces with their hands, looking utterly disappointed. Why did this girl have to bring up national affairs again at such a crucial moment?!
Huo Yuhao said softly, "I don't have any opinion. In my eyes, whether it's the country or the academy, I don't have much of an opinion."
"I just want less war and more peace here."
Xu Jiujiu, she seemed to find a sense of security, and her tone became more composed. "What you hope for is also what I hope for. I remember what you said when we first met, Yuhao, 'I've always been trying to be a good princess.'"
Huo Yuhao smiled slightly after hearing this, "I know, the princess's Martial Soul is the Star Crown Martial Soul, just like the stars in the sky, shining and dazzling."
"And Jiujiu, you are also a princess, wearing this Star Crown is like wearing a royal crown. Back then, I just wanted to tell you the meaning of a crown. Now, I want to tell you that it's not that wearing a crown makes you a princess, but that fulfilling the duties of a princess is what earns you the right to wear a crown."
"Since we're just chatting, I feel it doesn't matter what we say right now. The princess can forget what I said; she's already moving down that path, and my words were merely words of encouragement."
Xu Jiujiu, she gently shook her head, the moonlight rippling in her eyes like a gentle wave.
"No, Yuhao, it's like what you said before: a crown makes the wearer stand out and is a symbol of status. But the true meaning of a crown is that when disaster strikes, I will shield you from everything and always let you see only golden hope."
Her voice trailed off, yet grew ever clearer. "But at that time, what I saw in my eyes wasn't golden hope, Yuhao."
Instead, it's a blue that has your color. I've never seen such a dazzling star before, as if you were born to shine.
Perhaps your brilliance will be obscured in the future, but I believe that a faint light will still shine in your heart.
Your future will surely be like the moon in the sky, illuminating everyone in the darkness.
She looked at him with tenderness in her eyes. "Now, you have done it. You built the Spirit Transferring Tower, you changed the conflict between the human race and the soul beasts, and now you have made a contribution to the structure of Douluo Continent."
And there are all the heroic deeds you've done in the past; you've helped people in many countries escape disaster.
Your name will live on forever on the mainland.
Huo Yuhao smiled, his smile remaining calm, "What I did was simply what I wanted to do, and what I was capable of doing."
Xu Jiujiu, she took a small step forward, starlight falling on her shoulders. "You are truly dazzling, Yuhao, drawing people to you unconsciously, like moths drawn to a flame."
"The girls around you are only there because of your personal charm, aren't they?"
Hearing this, Huo Yuhao sensed something amiss and said, " Princess Jiujiu is joking. My relationships with my girlfriends were simply based on a memorable experience."
Xu Jiujiu, her voice was as soft as a sigh in the night wind, "Do those who have no romantic experience forever lose the chance to pursue you?"
Huo Yuhao paused slightly and said, "What do you mean by that?"
Having a beautiful woman by your side, enjoying the moonlight together, is truly a wonderful thing. However, the atmosphere has now become very heavy.
A thin layer of tears welled up in her eyes Xu Jiujiu. She tried to suppress her emotions, but her voice trembled slightly. "Is it true that people like us who can never see each other will never have a chance to be together?"
Huo Yuhao asked, " Princess Jiujiu?"
She suddenly stood up, and Huo Yuhao stood up as well. The night breeze blew, ruffling the hair on her forehead, but she didn't care. She just stared at him, her gaze as fiery and bright as stars.
Xu Jiujiu, he said, " Yuhao, now you don't have to treat me like a princess. Treat me like an ordinary girl. There's no difference in status, no worries about position."
"Now, I want to tell you that I like you. Will you say yes?"
Huo Yuhao was clearly surprised and subconsciously asked, " Jiujiu? Why, did you fall in love with me?"
He walked in slowly Xu Jiujiu.
"Yes, why did I fall in love with you? Why couldn't I forget you after the first time I saw you? Your image lingers in my mind. I'm happy when you win a competition, and I worry when you go to rescue someone alone. I pay attention to your every move. But why did I fall in love with you? I don't know."
She gently touched Huo Yuhao's cheek. " Yuhao, do you know? Sometimes, you don't need a reason to like someone. Right now, I'm just following my heart and liking you."
Meeting Huo Yuhao's gaze, she gently tiptoed and kissed him. Huo Yuhao neither resisted nor pushed her away, but simply let that warm touch fall on his lips, as gentle and fleeting as moonlight.
Du Busi Vina and the others were all smiles, including Dai Hao, Dai Yueheng, and Dai Luoli.
