Chapter 634 I will definitely come back!
It turns out that what he had been losing all along was the courage to face his fate.
He felt miserable, that living was worse than dying. He could never find meaning in life, and even when he was moved, it never truly touched his heart. He envied others, but he could never be like them.
So he was always like an observer.
But he was clearly in the prime of his life.
His tragedy was unfortunate, but there has always been much misfortune in this world.
He has never truly been himself, never lived for himself.
He used to hate being born into this world.
He had clearly overcome the hurdle of his origins, and even the trouble that the so-called bloodline of Yuechuan Kingdom might have brought him was taken care of by others without reservation.
He then realized that he had always been free.
He trapped himself.
His mother ended that misfortune with her own life, hoping that he could live a free life in the future.
But he never actually went out.
The calamity that befell Yuechuan Kingdom made him realize for the first time the cost of war and the value of life and responsibility. He should not dwell on the past.
It's time to move on.
The moment that thought settled, he recalled that chaotic day when he should have run away but chose to stay. For the first time, he realized that he was not entirely useless.
It turns out that he was also capable of doing things within his power for people he didn't want to be involved with.
Then he will be able to do more things within his ability in the future.
Mingruo looked up at the magnificent sea of flowers and suddenly smiled with relief.
Then, with firm steps, he turned towards the main hall.
……
The battlefield outside the Gu God Temple was gradually cleared away, and the Gu God Temple was gradually restored to its former appearance.
Countless people still come to worship, prostrating themselves at every step.
The incense at the Gu God Temple remained as thriving as ever.
Just now, Wen Qingqing came to tell Sheng Yunjiao that they had finished their business and could prepare to go back. Sheng Yunjiao thought for a moment, then ran to the incense burner, took some incense, and devoutly lit three sticks of incense.
Seeing her devout expression, Yan Yue curiously leaned closer and asked, "Sheng Xiaosi, what are you praying for so devoutly?"
Sheng Yunjiao was startled by his sudden voice and glared at him: "None of your business!"
"Tell me about it! I've told you so many stories, and you even said you'd share the money you made from writing storybooks with me. I'm just curious what you wished for, but you won't tell me!" Yan Yue looked at her with a grin.
Sheng Yunjiao blushed slightly. "What business is it of yours what I'm asking for? Can't I ask for a husband?"
"You..." Yan Yue's teasing tone abruptly stopped. Images flashed through his mind: how he had rushed back to the capital, heard of her accident, and just missed her; how he had rescued her from the water that day. Back then, the joy of their reunion had overshadowed everything, but now he felt a chill run down his spine. On this trip to Yuechuan, he had almost died, and she had almost lost her life too. They had been so close; they might never have seen each other again!
Upon thinking of this, Yan Yue's heart clenched painfully.
"Sheng Xiaosi, how about I be your husband?" Her heart made her decision before reason: "I'll marry you!"
"You..." Sheng Yunjiao stared blankly at Yan Yue, her mind a complete blank, her face flushed red, and she stammered, "You, what kind of joke is this!"
Yan Yue grabbed her hand and stared at her intently: "I, I'm not joking, I'm serious! Sheng Xiaosi, no, Jiaojiao, I like you. I don't know when it started, maybe a long time ago, but I've always liked being with you and chatting with you! I've always wanted to go to the battlefield and become a great general. When I first came to the Southwest, I was so excited. But don't laugh at me, the first time I went out to suppress bandits, my hands were shaking. I realized that the real battlefield was nothing like what I had imagined. When I went back that night, I felt so lonely for the first time!"
"During that time, what I looked forward to most was receiving your letters. Everyone else was too lazy to write to me, but you would patiently tell me stories about the capital and ask me if anything interesting had happened in the southwest. I was so happy then, so happy to be able to share those moments with you. Only then could I truly feel that I was still the same person I used to be, and that I must live well!"
"When I returned to the capital, the Emperor wanted to bestow a marriage upon me, and I was terrified. Although I dislike the Sixth Princess, the most important thing is that I don't want to marry anyone else from the bottom of my heart! When I heard that something happened to you, I was so worried that I wanted to take a gun and kill those beasts who bullied you!"
"So do you know how happy I was when I found out you went to Huazhou City? I longed to go find you day and night, but fate was against me. Not only did I not go to find you, I almost lost my life in Huoyin Mountain! Between life and death, I thought countless times, I didn't even tell you, will you be angry with me? Will you never talk to me again!"
"Jiaojiao, I'm very serious, extremely serious, I've never been this serious before!" Yan Yue looked at her with utmost seriousness, raising his finger as if to swear an oath to the heavens: "I, Yan Yue, swear that every word I've said is true. If I've lied to Sheng Yunjiao, may I..."
"Stop, stop, stop!" Sheng Yunjiao quickly covered his mouth: "Men's words are deceitful, what's the use of your oath? I believe you, okay?"
Yan Yue chuckled and excitedly hugged her tightly: "So you've agreed to be with me, right?"
Sheng Yunjiao blushed and pushed him away: "What did I promise?"
"Marry me!" Yan Yue said urgently. "Don't worry, when I get back, I'll have my father go to Huazhou to propose marriage..."
Yan Yue paused abruptly, somewhat hesitant to look Sheng Yunjiao in the eye: "I'm sorry, Jiaojiao, I spoke too quickly. My father can't go to Huazhou right now. I... I still want to go north with my cousin. I might... I might have to propose to you later!"
"I...I...If I can come back, I will definitely go to your door to propose marriage in person! If I can't come back, you...you shouldn't wait for me..."
Yan Yue lowered his head, his face flushed red. He suddenly regretted his impulsiveness. Who would say they were going to propose marriage and then back out?
Sheng Yunjiao raised her hands to cup his face, lifting it up to meet his eyes. "Yan Xiaoyue, how can you be so spineless! I already agreed, how could I go back on my word?"
Yan Yue stared blankly at Sheng Yunjiao and blurted out, "You promised me?"
Sheng Yunjiao looked at him, then suddenly leaned over and quickly kissed him on the cheek. "See? Now you believe me? I've stamped it. If you don't come back..."
"I will definitely come back!"
