509: Together, Finally

Anything that endangered the continent had to be destroyed so Ming Xi was busy studying and trying to find the issue with the seal. The problem with the seal was a strange one. He remembered using Xiao Chun’s purification ability to clear away all the blood people last time. Everything had been purified and the seal reinforced. He even kept the weak points secret.

And yet the seal broke, from the human side no less. This was what made it so incomprehensible to Ming Xi. Few people could break a barrier he created. Amongst those known, none of them would have helped the Blood clan, so who had done it was even more of a mystery.

Ming Xi had been consulting the classic texts in order to devise an unbreakable seal. He had made some progress by the time Feng Wu arrived.

Feng Wu approached when she saw him raise his head.

“Senior Ming Xi.” Feng Wu said before slowly stepping inside. Her steps were firm and her eyes clearly expressed her attachment.

Ming Xi waved to her and said, “Come here.”

Feng Wu walked over obediently. She stood in front before squatting down to his level. She held up his injured hand and inspected it. It was still cold, but now it wasn’t stiff and could flex a little.

“Does it hurt?” Feng Wu held his hand like it was a treasure.

“It doesn’t hurt. Do not worry.” Ming Xi patted her lightly on the head.

“I miss you.” Feng Wu spoke seriously as she turned to look up at him. She had missed him and thought about him every day. Was this love?

Feng Wu didn’t know. All she knew was that Ming Xi was a very important person to her. She wanted him to be Xiao Ye’s father and the three of them to be a family together forever.

It was just how Feng Wu was: simple and direct.

Ming Xi’s eyes trembled slightly when he heard her. “I. . . missed you too.”

Yes, he had missed her. In fact, not a day went by when he didn’t think of her and her expressionless face. There was no expression on her face now, but somehow he thought it was really cute.

“Xiao Wu...” Ming Xi whispered her name softly.

“What?” Feng Wu blinked her eyes which were a little misty.

“Would you like to be my sweetheart?” Ming Xi could feel the sweat forming on his hands. His heart was racing and thudding so loudly it was like a drum in his ears.

“If we're sweethearts, then we’ll definitely get married!” Feng Wu’s voice was filled with expectation as she looked at Ming Xi, her face utterly seriously.

Marriage?! This... was a little fast!

...

Jier was on Feng Wu as soon as she returned to the camp area. He knew she’d gone to see Ming Xi and he wasn’t optimistic about the couple’s prospects. Ming Xi would be the future ruler of the Ancient Silver Moon kingdom, and his wife would therefore be the future queen. With Feng Wu’s temperament, would she make a good queen?

Honestly, as long as Ming Xi was willing to spoil her, Feng Wu could live a good life as queen even if she chose not to participate in worldly affairs.

Wasn’t the current queen doing just that? After she gave birth to Ming Xi, the youngest prince, she moved and lived alone in a different courtyard and spent her days gardening and raising birds. The king accompanied her every day and their relationship was still going strong.

Maybe Feng Wu could live her life privately behind closed doors away from the public eye, like the current queen.

Jier was thinking of ways to help Feng Wu, but Ming Xi had to accept her, and perhaps just as important, the people of the Ancient Silver Moon kingdom had to accept her as well.

Feng Wu had a rough background and she wasn’t your average girl. Then there was Xiao Ye; this little guy was part of the package. Would the people of the Ancient Silver Moon kingdom accept her as their queen?

The odds were low.

Jier couldn’t bear it when he thought how cruel reality would be for Feng Wu. He didn’t want to watch her jump into the vortex, but he didn’t know how to stop it. Honestly, if it wasn’t for Ming Xi’s status, they would have made a perfectly fine couple.

Feng Wu didn’t understand human social interactions, but she was simple and pure. Ming Xi was clever and open-minded with a big heart. Jier had no doubt Ming Xi would take good care of Feng Wu if they got together.

But Ming Xi’s background was too high! And Feng Wu already had a child. For Feng Wu to be together with Ming Xi would be incredibly difficult!

The more Jier thought about it, the more his head ached. It was too early to think about it now, but it would be too late to think about later.

Jier had been chatting with Feng Wu for a while when it suddenly hit him. The nearly impossible had happened! They had gotten together!

Jier was so shocked when he realized it. This was too scary! There were no warning signs! My goodness, this was purposefully scaring people to death!

Jier could see Feng Wu was in a good mood. It looked like she had made progress with Ming Xi.

Jier couldn’t bear to burst her bubble, so he kept his concerns to himself.

Forget it, just let her be happy for a while. Telling her would only give her problems.

Jier ran back to his tent after finishing his conversation with Feng Wu. He needed time to digest everything.

He was sighing so much, his roommates had to ask if something was wrong.

“Xiao Wu finally got together with Senior Ming Xi.” Jier sighed after sharing.

“Isn’t that a good thing? Feng Wu has liked Senior Ming Xi for so long now, and now her wish is fulfilled. I bet she’s probably dying of happiness right now.”

“What’s there to be happy about?! Those two aren’t suited for each other at all. I’m afraid Feng Wu is going to get hurt later on.” Jier bemoaned.

“There’s nothing to worry about. Senior Ming Xi knows proper moderation. If he’s decided to be with Feng Wu, then for sure, he won’t make her sad.”

Ming Xi was one of the few seniors who didn’t have any romantic drama attached to his name, and yet, was still loved by so many female students.

“Huh? How can things be that simple? You guys don’t get it.” Jier stopped caring what his roommates thought. He sighed and walked away.

The confused roommates: How can we understand if you don’t explain!
