Chapter 1190 - Chapter 1190 Chapter Four Hundred and Eighty-Four A Lifetime

Chapter 1190: Chapter Four Hundred and Eighty-Four: A Lifetime Chapter 1190: Chapter Four Hundred and Eighty-Four: A Lifetime Yun Xiu stifled her shyness as she reached out her hands, grasping Tang Luo’s limbs to pry him from the wall, sizing him up and down.

The weak aura Tang Luo now emitted, having directly faced a blast of cloud energy equivalent to a Yellow Rank Spirit Art, was cause for grave concern.

“See if you dare to be so frivolous in the future…”

With her face blushing red, she chastised softly, her gaze lowered, yet her eyes dared not meet his as she took hold of his pulse.

“Thump-thump, thump-thump, thump-thump thump-thump.”

Though his pulse was steady, it was faster than usual. Yun Xiu thought it was the cloud energy that had shaken up his qi, and just as she was about to ask where he felt discomfort, she lifted her head only to meet his intense gaze.

Having learned from experience, Yun Xiu tried to withdraw her hand, but it was quickly seized.

“What… what are you doing?”

Despite being the one with higher cultivation and greater strength, Yun Xiu, with her wrist held, felt entirely weak. A burning heat flowed from her wrist throughout her body, making her breathing heavy. She could only plead softly to Tang Luo, “Let go…”

“I won’t.” Tang Luo stubbornly replied, “You’ve already hit me, shouldn’t I finish what I started?”

Saying so, he moved quickly as lightning and planted a kiss on Yun Xiu’s cheek.

“Boom~”

It was like being pressed against a piece of warm jade, the soft and fragrant taste made Tang Luo feel as if he was floating above the clouds, blissfully longing for immortality.

In that moment, time seemed to stand still, followed by Tang Luo’s dizzy, swirling delight.

It wasn’t a metaphorical spinning, but a literal, physical, spinning.

The man with a foolish grin was once again blasted into the sky by cloud energy, and instead of realizing the danger, he blissfully closed his eyes, stretching out his hands with a contented expression.

“Smack!”

Tang Luo, tumbling several yards before crashing to the ground, lay there as if nothing had happened. He didn’t immediately open his eyes or get up, but instead propped his hands behind his head, and after a while, he finally opened his eyes smacking his lips.

As for the victim of the sneak attack, after propelling him into the air, she fled the scene, her face blushing, not daring to stay in the courtyard any longer.

But Tang Luo believed she would always come back. After all, this was their home, and besides…

The second burst of cloud energy was lighter than the first.

Oh ho ho ho.

…

The most wonderful love in the world is perhaps when I like you, and at the same time, you also happen to like me.

Since that semi-coerced kiss, the relationship between Tang Luo and Yun Xiu took a significant step forward.

Although neither addressed the incident from that morning openly, in the days that followed, whenever their gazes met, there was an unspoken intimacy, causing the young lady to shyly look away each time.

Beyond their morning soup ritual, Tang Luo would invite her to the rooftop to stargaze after her daily return and share stories of himself and his distant homeland.

This homeland, of course, was not Xiling, but a much more distant place, that blue planet existing only in memory.

Clearly, Yun Xiu had no idea about the mystery of this place, assuming it was one of the thousands of worlds the Han Family used for refuge, and for various reasons, this world was no longer reachable.

For this, Tang Luo did not offer much explanation, simply holding Yun Xiu’s hand as they lay on the rooftop, talking idly until it was time for her to train, then reluctantly letting go.

“It’s time for your training.”

“But… the sunrise will be beautiful.”

“Tomorrow’s will be just as beautiful, and I will continue to watch it with you.”

“`

“Hmph.”

With a slight frown on her aquiline nose, Yun Xiu lazily stood up, stretching her arms and exuding boundless beauty. Twisting her body towards Tang Luo, she asked, “Do you know the rules for marrying a girl from the Yun Family?”

“Tell me after you finish practicing your Spirit Art.”

Tang Luo smiled, helping Yun Xiu stand on the rooftop, “There’s plenty of time, we can talk about it slowly.”

…

The next morning

“Do you know what’s different about the girls from the Yun Family compared to other families’ daughters?”

“Especially smart and beautiful?”

“Flatterer.” Yun Xiu let out a light spit and then said seriously, “The girls from the Yun Family, they are not appendages to men.”

“???” Tang Luo scratched his chin and said with uncertainty, “So, does that mean I have to marry into the family?”

“Of course not.” Yun Xiu gave Tang Luo a sideways glance and explained, “The girls from the Yun Family, they do not share a husband with others.”

Upon hearing this, Tang Luo was overjoyed, “So, does that mean we are settling down for life right now?”

“Not at all.” Yun Xiu’s face turned red, “I’m just reminding you that the girls from the Yun Family are not easy to marry!”

Tang Luo put down his soup bowl, sat up straight, and gestured with his hand, “Just say the word, Miss, if I even frown, I’m no hero.”

“Don’t be too sure of yourself, these conditions are not as simple as you think,” Yun Xiu said with a sweet voice.

“Oh? To be honest, I love a challenge. If there’s no difficulty, I feel like something’s missing. Apart from not sharing a husband, what other conditions are there?”

“Then you’d better listen carefully,” Yun Xiu said seriously, “When marrying, we do not adopt the husband’s surname. Can you accept that?”

“No problem,” Tang Luo replied calmly, “Is there anything else?”

“You agree so quickly, it’s clear you haven’t thought it through. I won’t say any more.”

“Now straightforward agreement is also a fault?” Tang Luo felt wronged, “Actually, in my opinion, what you said is not important. Whether to adopt the husband’s surname, or to take a concubine is not important, even if you don’t want to have children, I don’t think it’s important.”

Yun Xiu was startled. In this world of Xiehe, where the seven-out practice was prevalent, this was the first time she heard such a view. Curious, she asked, “If those things are not important, then what is important?”

“I love you, you love me; that’s what’s most important,”

Tang Luo looked directly into Yun Xiu’s eyes and said earnestly, “Aside from love, everything else is trivial.”

“But love is the least reliable,”

Yun Xiu looked into Tang Luo’s eyes, responding with the same seriousness, “For someone like you, with so many responsibilities and entanglements, it will dilute your focus. Of course, I believe you love me, but how long can you love me? One year, three years, or five, ten years? What happens when the love fades away one day?”

After a moment of contemplation, Tang Luo responded, “If you don’t believe I can love you for a lifetime, then I’ll love you day by day; month by month; year by year; until the day we close our eyes, it just so happens to be a lifetime.”

“Sweet talker.”

…

At least once in a lifetime, you should forget yourself for someone. Without seeking any outcome, companionship, or even ownership. Nor even asking for their love, only wishing that during the most beautiful period of your life, you meet them.

This is the love creed of a romantic playboy, yet it does not belong to the pragmatic Longxi’s Pride.

When Yun Xiu looked into his eyes and asked how long he could love, he truly hesitated.

Because for such matters, even he could not say for sure, just like countless others standing before love, feeling helpless and uncertain, thinking about the long life ahead, who could predetermine anything?
