Chapter 788: Marrying Her?

Translator: Atlas Studios    Editor: Atlas Studios

Growth had nothing to do with time. It was only related to the world. After experiencing many things, a person would naturally mature and grow up.

Yin Huaixi was both excited and heartbroken. “I should have gone to Quanzhou to pick you up personally.”

He had left a hundred elite troops in Quanzhou, thinking that nothing would go wrong, but he had put her in danger.

He thought that he knew everything and was conceited enough to hold the chess piece in his hand and control the overall situation. However, there was nothing in this world that was truly foolproof. One could never be too careful.

He had lost to Yu Youyao because of his conceit.

“With the people you arranged to protect us along the way, it was a close call.” Yu Youyao smiled and changed the topic casually. “I heard from my Third Cousin that the North hasn’t been stable after winter. Large numbers of refugees have surged in from all over the place, and the Northern Barbarians are also restless. There have already been several small-scale battles at the border. Not only do you have to settle the refugees, but you also have to lead troops to war.”

Her Third Cousin had inquired about a lot of information, including the border war.

“You’ve lost a lot of weight too.” Yu Youyao looked up at him.

The once graceful and noble young man also seemed to have grown a lot taller. His body was cold, and he had an additional heroic and majestic aura. It was as if his temples had been cut by knives, and his face highlighted the sharp edges of a knife. His long and narrow eyes were deep, but they were turbulent.

He had also changed a lot.

Even standing in front of her, he felt majestic.

He was the god who supported the entire North.

It made her fall in love and admire him.

“Yu Youyao.” Yin Huaixi gently lifted her chin, his eyes reflecting her pale, thin, and haggard face. “You saved my life.”

He had heard that there was a secret religion in the Western Region. The King of the Brahmin Sect, “Vina Nightja”, was cruel by nature and had a demonic temperament. Shakyamuni had sent Guanyin to enlighten him.

Guanyin could not subdue Nightja no matter what she did.

Helpless, she transformed into Concubine Ming and consorted with Vina Nightja. In the warm arms of the Guanyin, Vina Nightja was dispeled of all evil. His heart was filled with love, and he finally converted to Buddhism and became the lord of all Vajra.

Sometimes, Yin Huaixi also suspected that Yu Youyao had all kinds of abnormalities and even mysterious things like the spiritual dewdrop. Was she a living Bodhisattva sent by the heavens to save and reform him?

Yu Youyao’s eyes widened as she saw Yin Huaixi approaching her. His red lips hung below her nose.

“According to the rules of Youzhou, you saved my life. From now on, my life belongs to you.” Yin Huaixi lowered his head and his thin lips met her flower-like lips. The delicate and soft patterns on her lips were like stamens, and there was a faint fragrance that tugged at his heartstrings.

Yin Huaixi suddenly closed his eyes.

“Don’t, uh.” Yu Youyao’s eyes widened. Yin Huaixi pressed hard against her lips, blocking her unfinished words.

The unbelievable softness suddenly made Yin Huaixi feel a desire to ravage it. He wanted to eat the flower lips and chew them hard.

In the end!

Yin Huaixi sighed faintly and let her go. He hugged her to his chest. “How about devoting your life to me?”

Yu Youyao was stunned.

If she didn’t know that Yin Huaixi had already passed the path of an elder, she might have been ignorant, hesitant, and even rejected him. However, Yin Huaixi had told her before he left Quanzhou.

It made her heart feel like vines, and distracting thoughts appeared in her mind.

When they parted, her shy face had just bloomed, and she felt the affection of a girl. She wrapped this affection in the sweet and sour green fruit, hiding it in the Shaoxing Wine that had been hidden in the cellar for more than ten years, and also in the song “The Three Variations of Yangguan.”

For the past three months, she deliberately did not think about him.

However, this person did not need to be deliberately thought about. Her longing for him was already bone-deep.

When she ate, drank tea, played the zither, practiced calligraphy, or read…

Every time she thought of him, her lips would curl up slightly. Even when they parted, she did not feel bitter. She only felt calm.

Yu Youyao asked in a low voice, “Did you plan this long ago and just wait for me to walk into a trap?”

Yin Huaixi had already planned it.

When he left Quanzhou, he told them that there was an engagement between them and revealed this to her grandmother and elders. As a result, she abandoned etiquette and dogma, leaving her shy face.

When they arrived at his territory, Yin Huaixi did not even pant. In broad daylight, he could not wait to express his feelings to her.

It was as if she had already stepped into his cage from the moment she stepped into the North.

She knew that the stronger a person or beast was, the stronger they would have a strong sense of territory. Naturally, they would treat the prey that stepped into their territory as theirs.

And that was exactly what he had done.

It was straightforward and rough.

He did not hide it at all.

Yin Huaixi chuckled. “Do you remember what I said before I left Quanzhou?”

Yu Youyao’s heart skipped a beat, and his words seemed to echo in her ears. “I’ll wait for you!”

At that time, Yu Youyao’s heart was hazy and ignorant, and she felt bitter and happy. However, she actually did not really understand the meaning of these words.

It wasn’t until this moment that she suddenly understood.

Yin Huaixi had never been a passive person. When he said these words, he had already become the person who had been chosen and accepted.

He did not say, “I’ll wait for you in the North.”

There were only four simple words. “I’ll wait for you.”

He did not set a condition and time limit for these words.

“I’ll wait for you!”

Actually, there was no time limit and no conditions.

Yin Huaixi said softly, “Yu Youyao, I’ve been waiting for you.”

For a moment, Yu Youyao had mixed feelings. “You just said that according to the rules of Youzhou, if I save your life, you’ll belong to me from now on.”

She had gotten rid of the words “your life”.

She directly changed it to, “You belong to me from now on.”

It was straightforward and passionate.

It was bold and reserved.

Yin Huaixi immediately held his breath and felt his heart stop beating. “Yes.”

Yu Youyao’s face burned. She lowered her head and stared at the tips of her shoes. “Since this is the rule of Youzhou, now that I’m in Youzhou, shouldn’t I follow the customs?”

Yin Huaixi chuckled. “Of course. In ‘Zhuangzi: The Tree on the Mountain’, it’s recorded that one has to follow the customs and orders.”

It was as if quoting from the classics was more convincing.

Yu Youyao pursed her lips slightly, and there was a small smile in her eyes that was as bright as the stars. “You know that I have to observe mourning for my Grandmother for three years, so…”

Yin Huaixi hurriedly interrupted her, as if she was about to back out in the next second. “I know. I promised the Old Master that our marriage would be discussed in three years.”

He even mentioned her maternal grandfather. Was he afraid that she would go back on her word?

Yu Youyao chuckled inwardly and deliberately frowned. “So, our marriage hasn’t been agreed, and the token is just a verbal agreement?”
