Imdiately, she masked it, showing no sign of anything unusual.
Chen Mo sighed silently upon seeing this.
Shen Zhixia had always been like this, burying all her sorrow in her heart, silently digesting it alone, never bringing negative emotions to others.
But she is also human, with flesh and blood, and there will inevitably be tis when she cannot bear it.
"Speaking of which, I really must thank Daoist Qingxuan this ti, or else things would have gone awry." Chen Mo spoke up.
Ling Ningzhi first used the Thunder Technique to eliminate all the Fierce Beasts, then forced herself to burn her blood to block the ill-intentioned Ji Lianxing, and finally helped him hold up the Blood Net for a mont’s respite.
The most important thing is, without Ling Ningzhi’s company, the Daoist Venerable would not have arrived in ti...
And all of this was just because Ling Ningzhi made a promise to Shen Zhixia.
Shen Zhixia said softly, "Actually, I have already given the Daoist a gift of thanks."
Chen Mo asked with so curiosity, "What did you give her?"
Shen Zhixia looked up at him, her eyes filled with complex emotions, "I gave her a part of my most important possession."
"Hmm?"
Chen Mo was confused.
He wanted to ask further, but no matter what, she refused to say more.
Shen Zhixia leaned against Chen Mo’s chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, and asked, "Brother, you once said that no matter how many won there might be around, there would always be a place for in your heart, right?"
"Of course." Chen Mo said earnestly, "Zhixia is always the most special in my heart, and no one can replace her."
"Then I can rest assured."
Shen Zhixia smiled with satisfaction.
As long as she has a place in his heart, titles and such don’t really matter.
The so-called marriage contract and ceremonies are nothing but formalities, as long as their hearts are bound together, that’s enough.
Although deep down there might be so regret, life is like that, there can never be perfect things, can there?
Like right now, being held in his arms, she already felt very content.
Chen Mo naturally saw through her thoughts, and after pondering for a mont, he said, "Zhixia, I brought you a gift."
Shen Zhixia’s eyes lit up, "What gift?"
Chen Mo said, "Close your eyes first."
"Okay~"
Shen Zhixia obediently covered her eyes.
Chen Mo took out a Creation Gold Contract from the Suru Bag and imrsed his Divine Thought into it, and words appeared on the paper out of thin air.
Monts later.
Chen Mo said, "Alright, you can open your eyes now."
Shen Zhixia lowered her hands, looked up expectantly, and upon seeing the golden contract paper before her, her expression was sowhat puzzled.
"This is..."
"This is a second-grade Creation Gold Contract, effective below the third grade. Once signed, both parties will be bound by the Power of Laws, unable to break the contract."
Chen Mo smiled and said, "I tore up the previous marriage contract, so I am giving you a new one this ti."
Shen Zhixia looked at it carefully.
...
Respectfully to Miss Shen:
It is said that good fortune is predestined and perfect matches are made in heaven. I, though unworthy, am fortunate to receive your favor, admiring your virtue and beauty, and am deeply moved by your profound feelings.
Two hearts in sync, as solid as gold and stone, with this sincerity, dare I express my true feelings.
First, a vow to grow old together:
Willing to emulate swans carrying reeds, not afraid of wind and frost, traversing countless mountains under the stars, this body can be shattered, but this will shall not waver.
Second, a pledge as enduring as gold and stone:
With the Three Lives Stone as witness, revealing my heart and courage, remaining steadfast through poverty and wealth, living and dying together.
Third, an oath to heaven and earth:
May the heavens show rcy and witness this sincerity. Should this oath be broken, willing to endure the retribution of thunder, grass and trees woven like threads, rocks standing unyielding.
Written with tears and ink to express heartfelt feelings, if favored despite my shortcomings, I shall regret nothing even unto death.
Chen Mo respectfully bows again.
In the spring of the xinmao year, the 750th year of Great Yuan.
...
After reading the above content, Shen Zhixia was stunned.
She never expected that the gift Chen Mo prepared for her was a "marriage contract" written with a Creation Gold Contract?!
"I did not set an expiration date for the contract, aning that once this marriage contract is signed, it cannot be changed for life."
Chen Mo looked deeply at her and asked seriously, "Zhixia, will you marry ?"
"Yes! Of course, yes!"
Shen Zhixia held the contract to her chest, nodded vigorously, her eyes reddening, tears falling like raindrops.
It turns out, Brother Chen Mo knows everything...
He can always keenly capture the loneliness she inadvertently reveals and see through the vulnerability behind her pretended strength.
The strong fortress built in her heart crumbled in this mont, and those suppressed grievances, sadness, and deeply buried emotions surged out like a flood breaking its banks.
"Naughty brother, always making cry." Shen Zhixia looked at him with tearful eyes, her nose crinkled, "If it’s a trick, you have to deceive for a lifeti!"
Chen Mo didn’t say a word and directly infused the contract with a wisp of Divine Sense.
Shen Zhixia did the sa.
The golden contract paper glowed with brilliance, and in the unseen realm, an intangible bond tied the two together.
The contract now took effect.
Chen Mo reached out to wipe away her tears and said with a laugh, "Alright, you’ve cried so much that you look like a little cat. Now you’re going to be the Chen Family’s young madam, so you have to mind your image a bit."
"No, it’s just a signed marriage contract, I haven’t really gotten married..."
"My lady."
"Hmm?!"
"What should you call ?"
"..."
Shen Zhixia’s cheeks turned red, and bashfully she stamred, "Hus...husband!"
She then buried her face in Chen Mo’s chest like an ostrich, refusing to lift her head for a long ti.
The two quietly embraced, their breaths mingling, making the whole world seem peaceful and serene.
After hesitating for a mont, Shen Zhixia said softly, "Brother, I also have a gift for you... you should close your eyes first."
