1181 Defeating Xi ili
Seeing Yuan's surprised reaction, Xi ili couldn't help but blush a little.
"Why are you acting like that now? You didn't even react to it the last ti I said it."
"You said that during our last match as well?" Yuan was surprised to hear this since he doesn't recall it and he has an amazing mory.
"Don't tell … you didn't hear it?" Xi ili was speechless, but this explained his lack of reaction, sothing she would think about from ti to ti.
"Sorry…" Yuan could only apologize to her.
"Don't worry about it."
And she continued, "But don't think I will go easy on you because I want to marry you!"
Xi ili increased her Dragon's Gaze strength all the way to its limit, her golden eyes glistening like jewels under sunlight.
Unfortunately, it had no effect on Yuan, who had vastly superior Soul Strength.
Not wanting to completely humiliate Xi ili in front of so many people, Yuan would slowly increase his Dragon's Gaze strength.
"..."
Xi ili could feel an invisible pressure that was not there before slowly enveloping her body, pressing down on her body and making it difficult for her to breathe.
'This is… I am losing to his Dragon's Gaze?' Xi ili almost couldn't believe it.
A year ago, she easily dominated Yuan with half of her full strength, so how did she beco weaker than him in such a short ti? Since ti flowed differently for her, it felt even shorter than what humans would normally feel.
This made her wonder if the difference between soone who awakened seven pillars and soone who awakened all nine pillars was truly that vast, as it was like heaven and earth.
Eventually, Xi ili could no longer endure it any longer and lost consciousness for a mont.
During that brief mont of unconsciousness, she fell right into Yuan's arms, who was prepared to catch her before she even closed her eyes.
The entire place beca dead silent as every soul there witnessed Xi ili lose for the first ti… ever.
And it was even in her specialty— Soul Strength.
Yuan held onto Xi ili's soft body until she recovered her consciousness.
"So you defeated …" Xi ili mumbled as she continued to rely on Yuan's body for support, almost as though she didn't want to move.
After taking a mont to process her defeat, Xi ili said, "Alright. Since you won, I'm going to marry you now."
"What about your arranged marriage?" He asked with a stiff smile.
"Like I'd already said, it's not an arranged marriage! We are not even engaged!" she said with a slight frown on her face.
Since this appeared to be a family problem, Yuan decided not to intervene too much, and he still wasn't sure if Xi ili was joking about marrying him or not, as she was the type to make these kinds of jokes without batting an eye.
"Anyways, I am getting hungry. Wanna grab sothing to eat? It'll be my treat." She asked him.
Yuan couldn't refuse free food and imdiately nodded, "Sure."
After saying goodbye to the dragons in the Ancestral Dragon Temple, Yuan followed Xi ili to get so food.
anwhile, the dragons continued to talk about Yuan and Xi ili's relationship even long after they were gone.
"So the rumors were true! That Princess Xi is in love with that human!"
"What about the Azure Dragon Family? I heard that they have been sending a lot of gifts to the Xi Dragon Family recently."
"Isn't that just the Azure Dragon Family trying to court her? I don't think they're in that kind of relationship yet, especially since there's no official news."
"I have a feeling that sothing big will happen soon…"
After leaving the Ancestral Dragon Temple, Yuan and Xi ili visited many restaurants and food stalls, filling their stomachs while completely forgetting that there was a feast waiting for them back ho.
"The food in this place is truly unique. I doubt I will be able to find this food in the outside world." Yuan sighed as he finished his last plate of food.
"If you live here, you will be able to eat it every day." Xi ili said in a joking tone.
"As good as that sounds, I have a lot of work outside." Yuan still answered her seriously.
"Hmmm…" Xi ili suddenly started staring at him intensively.
"I am just noticing this now that we are sitting down and relaxing, but you have really matured a lot compared to last year. You no longer seem as ignorant, either."
He smiled, "I will take that as a complint."
After another mont of silence, Xi ili opened her mouth again, but she was more serious this ti.
"Hey… I don't think I have heard your response yet. I was serious when I said that I want to marry you. Or are you against it because I am not human?"
Due to the heavy subject, Yuan couldn't give an imdiate response and had to take a long mont to think about it.
"This matter… I believe it is bigger than just the both of us. Of course, I don't have any issue with you not being a human. Unfortunately, I have zero experience when it cos to marriage, so I cannot give you a satisfactory response."
"Then ignoring all of the other details, would you be willing to marry ? I will follow you to the outside world if I have to." Xi ili said with tightly grasped hands.
"If I ignore everything, then I wouldn't mind marrying you. However, there are things that I cannot ignore, so I wouldn't be able to do so."
After all, he already has two official partners. If he really had to consider marriage with soone else, he'd need their opinion on the matter as well.
"Is that so…" Xi ili turned silent after hearing Yuan's unofficial rejection.
'As I thought, it's a little too early to be talking about marriage to soone who I've only recently t.' Xi ili never thought she'd be rejected by the opposite sex, but she also realized her own rashness and pondered upon it.
