C58

In order to treat Shang Tianyao's injuries, Shang Tianxuan had spent a large amount of gold to clear the Nanxiang Inn. By the time Chaxianyu and the others reached the main hall of the inn, there were no longer any patrons left inside the building. The hallway was filled with Shang Tianxuan's soldiers who were standing guard.

The atmosphere immediately became solemn, as if they had arrived at a military camp.

Chaxianyu moved closer to a golden orb that was spinning beside him, lowered her voice and said, Windraiser, we have arrived. How do you feel? Is Fu Yao awake?

The sound of splashing water came out from within the golden ball. A clear male voice approached from afar, the ending sound rising, joyful and joyful. Salty Miss Yu, I'm fine. It's all thanks to Master Wu's spell and seal. There's water and herbs here, and my wounds are quickly healing … Saying that, she paused for a moment before her mood seemed to drop. It was just that her elder sister hadn't awoken yet …

hurriedly comforted her. Don't be anxious, it might be because Fu Yao's injuries are more severe, and she would have to spend more effort to do so …

Salted fish! You're finally here! When Chaxianyu raised her head, she saw a sixteen or seventeen year old youth standing in front of the carved railing on the second floor of the inn. The youth had delicate facial features, bright eyes and white teeth. He wore a crescent-white needle pick gown, bright yellow pantaloons, and tall brown leather boots. The most eye-catching thing was that the youth's black hair was combed with a pair of high red and purple dragon crowns. He stared intently at Chaxianyu, then ran down the stairs towards her direction. Chaxianyu had also recovered from her shock at this moment, and facepalmed herself. It was the Second Prince of Shang Country …

Before she could finish, the youth pulled her into his embrace.

Chaxianyu was shocked. Just as she was about to struggle, the boy tightened her arms and hugged her. I like the name you gave me.

His Highness Shang Tianyao. A snow white sword was unsheathed from its sheath, Shier Hong's face was ashen, his lips had an enchanting smile, Her Highness had something to say, "My servant girl is afraid of strangers, and she is not used to being intimate with others yet …"

Shang Tianyao was still smiling. He was not anxious at all as he grabbed Chaxianyu's shoulders and turned to raise his eyebrows at Shier Hong. Oh? The salted fish is your servant girl? He then slowly curled his lips, appearing to be very innocent. Give me a condition. What do you want? This prince can give it to you.

— Give me the salted fish. I'm going to take her back to Merchant State.

Ah?! Chaxianyu was dumbstruck, she almost jumped up from the ground. Broom head, what nonsense are you spouting! I'm not an item! After that, she hurriedly added, "I will also never go to Shang Zhou with you!" After which, she said worriedly, "Are you injured?" Do you understand what you're saying?...

Shier Hong's face had already turned extremely ugly. Clenching his fists, his golden eyes shone with a dangerous light, and his tone suddenly became cold, Your Highness Shang Tianyao, even if you are from the royal family of a merchant country, this request is too difficult, and I am sorry that I cannot agree to it.

Shang Tianyao then held Chaxianyu's hand. He stopped his smile and turned around, revealing an expression of unprecedented seriousness to Chaxianyu, and asked word by word. Salted Fish, are you not willing to go to the Shang Yue with me?

Chaxianyu turned pale with fright, she retreated a few steps and resisted. Why should I go to Shang Zhou with you? I still need to find the legendary city of Guangye … Go to my mother...

But I want you to stay with me.

The noble young master who was dressed in fine clothes suddenly looked gloomy, he lowered his head and increased his strength to hold onto Chaxianyu's hand, his eyes revealing a look of sorrow, he said, "Can I not go?" The journey is long and the future is uncertain. Salted fish, I don't want you to get hurt again.

I like you. I'm willing to protect you and protect you for the rest of my life. Chaxianyu opened his eyes wide, not caring about the pain, the smiling white-robed youth in front of him slowly knelt on one knee. Holding the girl's hand, he sincerely pressed it to her chest, she raised her head and looked at the panicking her, his eyes bright and resolute.

The young man's tone was sincere, as if everything could not be more natural. 'Can't you stay by my side and be my wife?'

Chaxianyu was already petrified by the thunder. She petrified for two minutes and struggled to swallow a mouthful of saliva, wanting to cry yet unable to speak. That me, me, and you, you... Her head was in a mess, and she was stammering words with all her might. I … I've always treated you like a good friend … I've never thought about it... So, it was too sudden for me … I'm in a mess right now...

Luo Rongji, who was standing by the side with his arms between his legs, suddenly snorted. Chaxianyu thought that he was smiling and raised his head in shock. The man only turned his face away coldly and impatiently threw a sentence at her with his eyes closed, completely bored.

No matter what, hurry up and finish it. With a disdainful tone, Luo Rongji clearly no longer had the patience.

Chaxianyu's head became two heads bigger. She lowered her head, looked at Shang Tianyao who was kneeling down and grabbing onto her with anticipation written all over his face, and raised her head to look at the people around her — Luo Rongji who had an unhappy expression on their faces, Wu Zhiya who did not have any big reactions, Shier Hong who was filled with indignation and gnashing his teeth, and the two mermaids who were wrapped in a golden ball of light and no one could tell what had happened.

Tian Yao, it seems like your marriage proposal won't work.

The tall general, wearing a crimson red cloak, walked out leisurely from behind the bead curtain with his hands behind his back. He was laughing heartily. Look at what you've done, you've frightened this lady. Why don't you apologize?

Shang Tianyao stood up with his head lowered and bowed. Brother, you saw it.

Chaxianyu also quickly curtsied. This humble girl pays her respects to the First Prince!

Shang Tianxuan smiled as he helped Chaxianyu up, and turned to teach Shang Tianyao a lesson. Don't try to be naughty, this girl's martial arts are strong and ambitious, she is anxious to get on the road, and only met you by chance, don't be stubborn.

Everything in the world had to come first, then come second. Everything in the world had to be taken seriously. She has a clear goal and a firm will. Moreover, she has already explained the reason to you. Shang Tianxuan said meaningfully. You, other than the title of the prince of the dead nation, what else do you have?

I... Shang Tianyao panicked, but was unable to refute it. Seeing Chaxianyu's pair of eyes that was devoid of any impurities and looking at him with clear eyes, he suddenly felt empty in his heart.

Shang Tianyao pursed his lips, and slowly lowered his hand. After thinking for a while, he finally spoke in a low voice. I see.

The young man lowered his head and stood firmly in front of Chaxianyu. His face was mostly obscured by the shadows, and his voice trembled as he tried to hide his emotions. Salted fish, you can go. You don't have to come back to Shang Zhou with me... It's my fault that I didn't care about your feelings.

You are free and should not be bound to anyone. You should do what you want.

Chaxianyu was startled, and then instantly heaved a sigh of relief. Seeing that the boy still had his head down, looking unhappy, he quickly followed up, Ah, mm... You too, broom head! I'm sure we'll meet again... She smiled and sincerely extended her palm towards the teenager. "Thank you for your assistance during the circus. I will always remember you as a good friend!"

When he raised his head, his face was filled with tears. Salted fish, if anyone bullies you, you tell me, I will beat them until all their teeth fall out … Chaxianyu was so frightened by the youth's sudden tears. She subconsciously pulled up her sleeves to wipe them away, but Shang Tianyao gently held her by the arm and pulled her forward. Chaxianyu staggered a few steps, and when the youth lowered his head, a light and warm kiss landed on her forehead.

His eyes were curled up and there were still some tears hanging from them. He revealed a mouth of white teeth as he forced a smile, and lightly released Chaxianyu's hand.

I will always like you. As long as you want to come back, the doors of the Shang Prefecture will always be open for you.

Chaxianyu, I will be waiting for you.
