Chapter 199 - Confessions

"Well, looks like you guys have started to invade my privacy. Tsk tsk...I'll appreciate it if you guys can stop messing around my places."

Ouch!

Her words definitely didn't sound pleasant to the Immortals.

"Miss Li, we are aware that you are unhappy about what we did back in Master's house. But that's because we wanted to surprise you. We wanted to tell you that you are the most important person in our lives." The Heaven Emperor tried to explain.

The rest of the Immortals were quick to nod their heads. They were not liking the angry little mate who was looking at them with her cold gaze.

Li Ming shook her head lightly as her lips twitched into a small side smile which appeared more like a smirk.

"Yeah, it is right that I was initially mad at you guys for leaving me alone without answering the question. However, I am angry now because you guys have started to cross your limits." 

The Immortals kept looking at her with confusion and fear as Li Ming continued.

"Do you know that the crystals that you have buried in the soil were actually supposed to be placed at the roof of this nursery?" 

Her question was answered by several gasps and shaking heads.

"Do you guys know that the liquid that you have used to irrigate the plants was actually a potion that I was experimenting on? Even I have no idea what will happen to these plants now!" 

Her voice was rising as she kept pointing out the things that the Immortals had ruined because of their surprise.

"Do you guys know that I have worked hard for weeks to prepare these beds, the plants, the snow essence crystals, and the potion? Do you know that you have ruined almost half of my work within an hour?" 

Li Ming stopped to take in a deep long breath. She did not want to hurt them but she needed to tell them when they should stop.

On the other hand, the six Immortals were completely shocked and heartbroken after realizing that they had ruined so much.

They could tell that she was keeping herself from letting out her anger at them and somehow, it only made them felt worse if even possible.

"Sweet..."

Li Ming didn't let the Supreme Immortal speak as she raised her right hand in a stop signal. She was in no mood of listening to their explanation or any other thing that they were going to say.

She would not be able to keep her anger in control for much longer. Maybe she would listen to their side of the story when she would calm down but at that moment, she just wanted to be left alone.

"I mostly keep you guys away from my things because I know you all are not familiar with them. Well...., just forget it.....!" 

Li Ming covered her eyes with her hands for a few seconds while taking in a deep breath.

Somehow looking at the guilt and sadness that was covering their faces succeeded in calming her down.

She uncovered her eyes to excuse herself, however, she was soon engulfed in a warm hug from behind.

Zhang Yong snuggled his face in the crook of her neck and inhaled her fragrance. He didn't say anything but silently stood there hugging her tightly.

It didn't take much time before Li Ming could feel herself relaxing into his touch. Her mind, her body, her anger, everything calmed down slowly.

It was not until a few silent moments had passed when she realized exactly what the Shadow Lord was doing.

"Did you just used your dragon powers to calm me down?" Li Ming asked the Immortal who was tightly holding her in his arms.

However, her tone was no longer sounding angry. 

Zhang Yong just nodded his head slightly but didn't say anything. 

She was about to speak when suddenly her attention was pulled towards the rest of her mates who were coming towards her.

Were they all planning to hug her too? Li Ming's mind was suddenly filled with images where she was engulfed in a group hug by her mates.

She shook her head to get rid of her thoughts. How could her anger suddenly convert into want? 

The Immortals stopped in front of her and before she could even react at their proximity, her shocked gaze watched the five Immortals kneeling in front of her.

She was not expecting to see something like that. What was she supposed to do?

"W-what are you guys doing?" She asked while trying to get herself out of Zhang Yong's arms.

However, the Shadow Immortal didn't loosen up his hold on her, making her turn to glare at him.

Meanwhile, the Moon Immortal took hold of one of her hands while Ruoshan held the other one tightly.

"We are aware of our faults and we are also guilty. We should not have interfered with the things that we do not know about. Little One, can you forgive us? We are ready to work on our shortcomings. All we need is for you to be there for us." 

The others were quick to nod their heads to show their consent. 

"Yes, Xingan. We are very sorry for what we did. We have no idea that something like this is going to happen. We just wanted to tell you that you are the most precious one to us." Ruoshan said as he kissed her palm softly.

"You are everything to us. We have waited for so long just to be with you. No one could take your place in our lives and hearts. You never have to question that." 

This time it was Wen Guiying who spoke as he looked at her with his eyes filled with love and warmth.

"We respect our Master. He has been our greatest support and guardian for thousands of years. He had taught us so much. We can never repay him even if we try for the rest of our lives, but......but he's not you."

Li Ming turned her eyes to look at Hei Long, the one who was speaking at the moment as the rest listened.

"Even though I've known you for a short time, but you are someone who has brought meaning to our Immortal lives. We are grateful towards our Master but when it comes to you......it's just pure love." 

Hei Long stared right in her eyes as he said those deep words that surrounded Li Ming's heart with so much affection.

"I've known you for the shortest period, but I have waited for you just as long as them. The one and only girl who can make us feel complete, who can make us feel happy. And that's exactly what you make us feel. If you are happy then we are happy. If you are sad then we are sad. If you are worried then we are worried. We are one with you."

The Heaven Emperor was the one who spoke in the very end. However, his words were just as touching as the others.

Li Ming realized that she had a.ost forgot how to breathe. She was enjoying the best moment of her life as her mates showered her with their love.

Yes! Pure love. She could see in their eyes that all of them love her. 

There was a long silence and no one spoke for the next few minutes. The Immortals were still kneeling in front of her and Zhang Yong was standing behind her as he circled his fingers softly on her belly.

"When was the last time you guys kneeled in front of someone?" Li Ming asked suddenly out of nowhere.

Looking at the expression on the Immortal's faces, it was clear that they were not expecting her to ask such a question.

"I imagined you guys kneeling down in front of me like this while proposing to me. This is quite different from my imagination, but I think it will work since it's your first time. Looks like I will need to train you guys so that you can propose to me in the right way when the time is right." Li My g said as she tapped her finger on her chin.

The Immortals were looking completely lost. However, she could see their expressions changing as they stared at her slightly smiling face and the sparkle in her eyes.

Even Zhang Yong had loosened up his grip on her as he tried to look at her face.

"Wait, are you trying to say that you forgive us?" Ruoshan asked as he looked up at her face with hopeful eyes.

"I can forgive you guys..." Li Ming watched as their eyes suddenly filled with happiness at her words.

"...but you will need to help me in my work since you are the one who ruined it. I'm in no mood of exhausting myself again and this time I'll guide you all." 

Just as she finished, a pair of warm lips landed on hers as she received a sweet and quick kiss from Ruoshan.
