Chapter 129: Chapter 129: The Most Touching Confession_1

Shen Tianxing met his gaze, as tender as rippling water, and the gloom that had just touched her heart seemed to instantly dissipate into clarity.

She gave him a soft smile and replied gently, "Okay!"

Dugu Zixi reached out and tenderly stroked her face, and even added, "Good girl~"

Shen Tianxing rolled her eyes at him speechlessly and then burst into laughter, chiding him, "You still think you’re my master! This time around, I won’t let you be my master."

Dugu Zixi chuckled softly, "Mm, I don’t want to be your master either, I just want to be... your lover!"

The word "lover," whispered by Dugu Zixi, sounded particularly deep and tantalizing, causing Shen Tianxing’s heart to quiver as if it had been touched by electricity.

As the two looked into each other’s eyes, the staff from the etiquette company came over to remind Dugu Zixi and Shen Tianxing that the banquet would start in ten minutes and asked the two leads to make their final preparations.

Twelve o’clock on the dot.

All the guests who had come to the banquet had arrived without exception.

The coming-of-age ceremony for Dugu Zixi, as well as his and Shen Tianxing’s engagement banquet, officially began.

The first to take the stage to speak was General Dugu, clad in a crisply pressed military uniform.

He looked around at the guests present and, with a booming voice still full of strength, he expressed his gratitude.

"Honored guests and dear friends, on behalf of the Dugu Family, I thank you for taking the time to attend my grandson Dugu Zixi’s coming-of-age and engagement banquets..."

His stern and resolute face, typically marked by seriousness, displayed a clear sense of excitement as he spoke these words.

After pausing for a moment, he continued with emotion, "Today is a very good day, for the Dugu Family has two joyful events to announce to everyone!"

"The first piece of good news is: our family’s eldest grandson, Dugu Zixi’s 18th birthday has arrived, which signifies that the new heir of the Dugu Family has grown into adulthood. From this day forth, he will officially step into society to shoulder the responsibilities and duties he’s meant to bear, contributing his own strength to society, to our clan, and to our family."

"The second piece of good news is: my eldest grandson, Dugu Zixi, has been fortunate to find his kindred spirit, his future partner—Miss Shen Tianxing of the Shen Family."

A beam of striking light just happened to fall upon Shen Tianxing’s head.

The enormous display screen also revealed Shen Tianxing’s true face.

Her exceptionally beautiful features and the calm and composed temperament of someone from the Fairy Realm dazzled all the guests in an instant.

Immediately people began to whisper among themselves, "No wonder she caught the eye of the young master Dugu, she’s really beautiful!"

"Of course, if she weren’t outstanding, how could she have caught the attention of the Dugu folks?"

"It’s not just about her beauty, I heard that her medical skills are top-notch too, even curing what the national doctors couldn’t – both the young master Dugu and General Li."

"No way? How old is she? To possess such amazing medical skills? Is she a genius?"

"Haha, well isn’t she just a genius!"

"Shh... stop talking, let’s discuss it after we get back, and first listen to the old general’s speech."

The audience once again focused their attention on the stage.

The powerful and sonorous voice of Elder Dugu resonated throughout the venue, "Today is also the engagement banquet for Zixi and Tianxing. On behalf of our Dugu Family, I warmly welcome Tianxing to join our Dugu Family, to become one of our own. Here, I wish them a lifetime of love and companionship, growing old together. Thank you, everyone!"

After Elder Dugu gave a slight bow to express his gratitude to the crowd, he returned to the main family’s seat with the assistance of security officer Liu Yao.

The host, waiting for Elder Dugu to step down, then picked up the microphone with a smile and said, "Next, please welcome our most handsome and dashing male protagonist of today—Mr. Dugu Zixi, to come up and speak."

Dugu Zixi stood up and adjusted his suit before he proceeded, step by step, onto the stage.

His exceptionally handsome face showed not a hint of panic, only calm composure, as if he could easily handle anything that came his way, commanding respect rather than to be underestimated due to his youth.

There he stood on the stage, his deep gaze sweeping across the audience. Everyone present felt an oppressive force bear down upon them, instinctively holding Dugu Zixi in solemn respect.

This dominant and overwhelming presence was deliberately exerted by Dugu Zixi, letting everyone know that he—Dugu Zixi—was not to be trifled with!

In whichever world, Dugu Zixi firmly believed in the principle that might makes right, and the strong are revered.

Moreover, in his previous life in the Fairy Realm, he was an esteemed figure whom even the Immortal Emperor had to give face to and dare not provoke.

In this mundane world of mere mortals, if he, Dugu Zixi, could not become the supreme being among men, would that not be a joke?

At this moment, Dugu Zixi, in everyone’s eyes, appeared as a Sky God descending to earth, as stable as Mount Tai.

In Shen Tianxing’s eyes, however, it was as if she saw her master from a previous life once again—the one who stood proudly above the world with astonishing talent—standing before her again.

Suddenly, she felt a warmth in her eyes...

Dugu Zixi, standing on the stage, suddenly looked toward her and, seeing her reddened eyes, flashed her an stunning smile.

The next moment, Dugu Zixi withdrew the imposing aura he had released.

Everyone below the stage felt a relief and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, Shen Tianxing heard Dugu Zixi speak, "Respected guests, good afternoon! I am Dugu Zixi!"

Below the stage, applause thundered...

Dugu Zixi continued, "Here, I want to thank my parents for giving me life and my relatives for their love. In addition, I want to specially thank one person, my fiancée—Shen Tianxing."

"I believe many of you know that doctors both domestic and international once declared that I, Dugu Zixi, would not live past eighteen. But now, here I stand before you, well and alive."

"All of this is thanks to my fiancée, who saved my life. I am deeply infatuated with her, and have decided to devote myself to her, to spend our lives together."

"On this occasion, I hope that she will accompany me in all the important moments of my life! Please allow me to invite Miss Shen Tianxing, my beloved fiancée, onto the stage to introduce her to everyone."

The dazzling lights fell upon Dugu Zixi, following his steps to illuminate Shen Tianxing.

Shen Tianxing watched Dugu Zixi with sparkling eyes, brimming with deep affection and emotion.

In her past and present lives, this really was the first time she had heard Dugu Zixi speak such a lengthy speech at one go.

Most importantly, he had just expressed his affection for her with so many words, in front of so many people.
