Chapter 73 Xue Bai’s Heartfelt Feelings

Xue Bai's Heartfelt Feelings

"Alright, Celestial Maiden Xiao'er, are you going to explain to me why we are at another Auction House?" Xue Bai asked.

Currently, Xue Bai and Xiao'er were standing hand in hand in front of the second most popular Auction House in Snowy Wind City. Like the Golden Hall Auction House, which was backed by Li Rou, giving it home field advantage, the Auction House in front of the two was backed by the Yan Clan.

And since the two clans had been allies for almost two years now, Yan Zhenyu's Myriad Treasures Auction House was able to grow to twice its size with the support of Xue Feng.

However, as prestigious and high-end as it was, they had just attended another Auction, so why were they here?

"Hehe! Young Master Myriad Treasures Auction House also is having an Auction currently!" Xiao'er giggled.

"And I also assume you have a VIP membership card for this one too?" Xue Bai spoke as he managed to guess where this was going.

"Young Master is so smart! I do have one, so come on, let's enter!" Xiao'er yelled excitedly as she pulled Xue Bai into the Auction House.

Submitting himself to his fate, Xue Bai let Xiao'er drag him into the Myriad Treasures Auction House.

The second Auction went by quicker than the first, and soon enough, it ended before Xue Bai knew it.

Xue Bai didn't even bother to pay attention and merely cultivated in the back of the VIP room. He gave Xiao'er permission to spend as much money as she wanted, but with the condition that she doesn't spend more than 8 thousand Spirit Stones.

The Small Success Stage wasn't as far away as Xue Bai thought. Not only was he able to use the Blood Ignition Pill cheat, but also the Liver Vein allowed him to purify his blood as well as his Dantian.

From the progress Xue Bai made in the 3-hour auction, Xue Bai calculated that he would be able to complete the Small Success Stage within a week. Then, adding on the following four stages he had to progress through, Xue Bai estimated that it would take about a month and a half to complete the Blood Exchange Realm's Purification Stages.

Satisfied with his progress, Xue Bai opened his eyes and looked over at the ball of excitement in front of him.

"Xiao'er, how was it? Did you find anything you liked?" Xue Bai asked with a smile.

"Humph! I'm not telling!" Xiao'er replied as she pouted and turned her head.

At her reaction, Xue Bai could only smile wryly. Xiao'er had taken him out to accompany her, but he ignored her during one of her planned trips, making her angry. Thankfully it wasn't for long, so the maid wasn't shunning him altogether but just being petty.

Thankfully Xue Bai had a trick that always worked to bring her out of her petty moods.

So standing up from his cross-legged position, Xue Bai went over to Xiao'er and stood in front of her.

Smiling brightly with puppy dog eyes, Xue Bai looked at Xiao'er and asked, "Xiao'er, I'm sorry. Can Celestial Maiden Xiao'er bring her noble self to forgive me?"

Seeing the puppy eyes from Xue Bai, Xiao'er wavered a little, but she hardened her will and turned her head away from Xue Bai.

"Young Master, that won't work on me anymore!" Xiao'er announced proudly to mask her lack of confidence.

Slightly surprised that it didn't work, Xue Bai knew he had to take it up a notch, so he grabbed the petite hand of Xiao'er and made her turn to face him.

"Come on, Xiao'er, can you really not forgive me?" Xue Bai asked again.

And finally, the defense of Xiao'er crumbled, and she hugged Xue Bai, pulling him into her bulging mountains.

"AHH! You're too beautiful Young Master. How can I not forgive you!" Xiao'er squealed as she suffocated the boy.

Xue Bai, now with a higher cultivation base than before, relished in his position but eventually had to pull himself out before he died of suffocation.

After the two made up, Xiao'er continued to drag Xue Bai across Snowy Wind City for the rest of the day.

Whether they were shopping in a high-end retail store or in Mountain Herb Pavillion, Xiao'er didn't leave one stone unturned and managed to go to every shop she planned too much to the exhaustion of Xue Bai.

It was only late at night when Xue Bai was almost broke did Xiao'er finally finish her day. And after calling Big Wang to come and pick them up, the two stood next to each other, waiting.

"Young Master, how was today? Did you have fun on the date I prepared for us?" Xiao'er asked curiously as she sat down on a bench next to her.

"Oh? So you're finally brave enough to call it a date now, huh? I thought you would accidentally say it first." Xue Bai raised his eyebrow as he looked over at the now-seated Xiao'er.

"I already basically said it a few times today already. I might as well say it now that the day is over." Xiao'er spoke as she rocked her feet back and forth.

"But enough of me. What did you think of our first date?" Xiao'er asked again.

But Xue Bai once again didn't answer the question but instead asked his own.

"Xiao'er though mother and father didn't tell you all of the details, surely you know that I am going to be special in the future, right?" Xue Bai asked in a solemn tone.

After seeing Xiao'er nod, Xue Bai continued to speak in the same solemn tone, "I know your feelings, and to be honest. I feel the same way. But this world is going to be very cruel in the upcoming years. And love is going to be one of the very last things on my mind. But if you can endure the long wait for my acceptance, then fine, I will accept your feelings."

Not expecting such a serious response from Xue Bai, Xiao'er didn't know how to respond for a minute and stayed silent as she processed his question.

Expecting such a similar situation, Xue Bai stood up and walked over to Xiao'er.

Holding her hands once again, Xue Bai spoke, "Xiao'er, forget my previous words. No matter your feelings for me, I will keep you by my side. You can call me arrogant or a control freak, but I want you to stay with me forever."

After saying so, Xue Bai bent down a little and gave the stunned maid a peck on the lips.

​ "While I don't know why you are so scared at the thought of being abandoned, Xiao'er, know that I will never abandon you. Even if in the future I don't stay faithful to you alone and have other wives, or if a day comes when I get angry at you. I will still have you by my side. The past five years with you by my side have been amazing, and I couldn't have asked for more from my personal maid. You aren't expendable in any way, but the opposite. So be more confident in yourself. You are my, Xue Bai's, maid. In the future, you will only be by my side as I climb through the Baishen Plane." Xue Bai continued to speak as he finished talking about the feelings in his heart.

Xiao'er was still stunned by the huge events that had happened in momentum and couldn't reply for a minute. But after she finally digested everything, tears of happiness fell from her eyes.

"I'm sorry Young Master, but don't worry, Xiao'er will be the best Xiao'er she can be from now on!" Xiao'er announced proudly as she wiped the tears from her eyes.

"Good. But wipe your tears. Big Wang is here now. And he most likely saw them already." Xue Bai said as he helped her.

After cleaning up her teary face, Xue Bai and Xiao'er stood up from the bench and went over to Big Wang.

"Young Master, is Miss Xiao'er okay?" Big Wang asked, concern apparent in his tone.

Xiao'er was Xue Bai's personal maid. If she were bullied or wronged, then Snowy Wind City would be turned upside down. And Big Wang, the bodyguard who didn't follow them, would be punished.

Shaking his head, Xue Bai answered, "Xiao'er is not crying out of being bullied, but happiness. So it's fine, Big Wang. Just drive the carriage."

Big Wang wanted to ask more, but he noticed that Xue Bai turned on the noise cancelation array. So assuming his Young Master didn't want to be disturbed anymore, he turned the carriage around and went back to the Duke's Estate.
