Xiao naturally extended his hand to Ling Mengxue who was leaning on the bed.

Strong hands hugged her waist and pulled her towards him. Xiao's movements were so natural now. Ling Mengxue's silver hair was shining in front of him. After taking Baizhu's medicine, she seemed to be a little more energetic than before. Xiao muttered to himself in a very low voice.

"Even if I put you by my side now, I still can't let you go. Sometimes you really are..."

[Oh, now it seems like he is the one pestering you. ]

[…Another boring day full of dog food!] The chef also started his complaints.

Hearing the conversation between the two, Ling Mengxue's ears turned red instantly.

She whispered in a mosquito-like voice.

"You two, don't look at it, seriously."

"Hmm? What, Shirayuki, did you just say something?"

"Nothing, yeah."

Xiao widened his eyes in surprise. He clearly heard her mumbling something just now. Was she feeling unwell again?

Ling Mengxue swiftly placed her hand on his cheek and immediately changed the subject.

"Anyway, don't I look fine now?"

"..."

"Come to think of it, not long ago, when I wanted to touch the mermaid line of the immortal, I was always told 'disrespectful to the immortal master'." Ling Mengxue thought of how she had teased Xiao before and couldn't help but find it funny. Every time she approached with a lewd look on her face and wanted to touch the mermaid line of the young immortal, she would be pushed away without any hesitation...

"I heard that people change a lot when they are about to die..."

Ling Mengxue looked at the young immortal in front of her and suddenly said this.

"You're talking nonsense again! If you continue, I'll punish you." Xiao tapped her forehead helplessly, and she sticking out her tongue at Xiao mischievously.

This young immortal was really confused. Where had the man who used to dodge whenever she stretched out his hand gone? Why was there only a little kitten in front of him that looked like it had lost its temper because of its lover?

Ah, this, this...is not bad,...no, I should say, it's quite ok.

However, it would be better if Xiao was willing to open his heart to her. Ling Mengxue knew very little about the Yaksha Immortals and Xiao's past. She had many questions and wanted to know what her lover was carrying. However, even at this time, Xiao still did not seem to be determined to tell her everything.

Thinking of this, Ling Mengxue couldn't help but feel depressed. She stroked his hair. Xiao raised his reddish golden eyes covered by his eyelids, wondering what this little girl was thinking about again. She has been saying this kind of thing these days.

"You, don't you think that I am trying to restrain myself just because your physical condition is not good..."

"......hey-hey."

Hearing Xiao's answer, Ling Mengxue's face instantly turned red. Thinking of that sweet and shameful night, Ling Mengxue felt that she was really too bold that day. Even if she ate one more peanut, she would not do such a thing! It must be the fault of drinking! Yes, it was all the fault of alcohol!

Ah, really, how could she bear to leave this man to die alone? It was impossible. Damn the separation of life and death. No, she couldn't do it!

Ling Mengxue bit her lips hard, but even if she wanted to stay here and stay by his side greedily, it would probably not be an easy thing to do.

Yes, it’s all my fault for being too greedy. Now that the Emperor has become like this, it’s already very difficult for Xiao to be with me all day long. How can I really expect to stay with this man all day long?

Xiao, you are indeed a very gentle man.

Xiao's face looked a little gloomier than usual, and Ling Mengxue knew that he was feeling uneasy and worried about his body. Since when, Ling Mengxue could easily read the young immortal's inner thoughts through his expression.

Looking at the silent boy in front of her, Ling Mengxue burned her hesitant thoughts into ashes, leaving only an extremely determined heart.

"Give me some time, just a little time, Jin Peng."

"...?"

Ling Mengxue's sudden and inexplicable words made Xiao tilt his head.

"Shirayuki, what do you want to do?"

"Yeah, well, my body...if my body can hold up."

Xiao's straight eyebrows suddenly stood up, and Xiao spoke in a very unpleasant tone.

"Your body is already so weak, where are you going to go and make trouble?"

"If, this thing can be accomplished, Jin Peng."

Ling Mengxue tried her best to put on the most beautiful smile. Although she had kept these words in her heart for a long time and always wanted to say them to him, for some reason her throat seemed to be blocked and she couldn't utter them.

After taking a few deep breaths, Ling Mengxue continued.

"Then you and I will be married."

Although she had practiced it in her mind many times before, as a girl proposing to a boy, Ling Mengxue still felt like she was handing him a challenge.

Xiao blinked slowly, and Ling Mengxue stared into his golden eyes. But for some reason, she couldn't read any emotion from them. But, in fact, Ling Mengxue didn't have to worry about Xiao's answer at all.

Why? Because she didn't have the energy to observe his expression.

puff puff

Can Xiao hear his own heartbeat?

Ling Mengxue lowered her head, and Xiao, who had just heard Bai Xue say that she wanted to marry him, took a deep breath. His gentle and low voice floated into Ling Mengxue's ears.

"I don't plan on waiting too long."

"Oh, yes...ah?" Ling Mengxue didn't expect that this time she would not be greeted with the familiar words 'disrespectful to the Immortal Master'.

Her attention was finally focused on Xiao, and she could feel her body beginning to tremble slightly.

"Um...what did you just say? Say it again!"

"You are really a little girl who doesn't play by the rules. You, the one who proposed to me just now."

Although Xiao did not repeat what he just said, he asked her in a sweet and gentle voice.

"Shirayuki, are you serious? Are you really willing to marry me like this?"

Wake up, young man, don't you know how good and handsome you are? Why are you always so unconfident about yourself? It's me who is afraid that you will be snatched away by others! Ling Mengxue couldn't help but wail in her heart.

"Of course, I mean it." Ling Mengxue gave an affirmative answer without hesitation.

The next moment, the distance between the two was only a finger's width, and after this distance disappeared, their warm lips touched each other.

The same intense sweet feeling as before began to spread from her lips to her entire body, answering the question she had asked.
