Chapter 494: Husband, do you think that’s right… “That girl saved him, and it was assumed that the man would leave soon after his injuries healed.

But unexpectedly, that wasn’t the case.

This man actually set his sights on his savior.

When dealing with a man like this,

the girl initially wanted nothing to do with him.

Therefore, the girl truly did not want to accept his repeated declarations of love.

But what was unexpected was this:

This man was so persistent, so persistent that it even surprised the girl!

No matter how many times the girl rejected him, he never had the slightest thought of giving up.

And it must be said,

this man was actually quite interesting.

He gradually caught the girl’s attention.

So, even though the girl didn’t like the man,

she didn’t know why—even though this guy wasn’t particularly handsome, the girl became increasingly concerned about him.

Moreover, even when the girl repeatedly rejected the man, he simply refused to give up.

And every time the man confessed his feelings to the girl, the girl cared a little bit more.

It even reached the point where,

the man’s position in the girl’s heart grew heavier and heavier.

Gradually,

the girl realized

that she actually liked him a little bit.

However, in the girl’s heart, pursuing the Great Dao was still far more important.

She only had a slight favorable impression of this man.

Compared to her pursuit of the Dao and her responsibilities, the girl felt this slight fondness could be ignored.

In the girl’s heart, she had come to the Mortal World for experience, not for romance.

Therefore, even though the girl had a slight favorable impression of the man, she still did not accept his proposal.

After all, immortals and mortals walk different paths.

She possessed an immensely long lifespan,

while he only had a hundred years.

After a hundred years, the two of them would still be separated.

Thus, the girl ruthlessly rejected the man time and time again, and even maintained a great distance from him.

But one time, after the girl rejected the man, he became extremely disheartened.

He looked as if he had lost all will to live, and his entire demeanor was sluggish and listless.

Seeing the usually cheerful man turn into this state,

the girl felt terrible.

But she knew that long pain was worse than short pain, and this was something that had to be endured.

And it was after that incident that the man rarely paid attention to the girl anymore.

He even maintained a certain distance from her.

Sometimes when the girl went to look for him, he would deliberately be absent.

Even if he was present, he was extremely distant.

Seeing his guarded attitude towards her, the girl pouted angrily, looking quite unhappy.

However, the girl thought carefully again.

She felt that perhaps this was the best opportunity—the best chance for her to leave him.

So, for almost half a month,

the girl and the man had no communication.

Although they lived in the same courtyard, it was as if they were in two different worlds.

During those nearly two weeks, the girl did not see the man.

Her heart grew increasingly empty.

She actually still wanted to talk to him, and wanted him to continue coming to chat with her.

But she knew that what she was doing was wrong.

Moreover, since she had rejected him, she had no right to expect anything.

But no matter what, she had saved his life, so he should at least talk to her properly.

Yet now he was like this, saying nothing, ignoring everything, seemingly avoiding her constantly.

How could this man be like this?

The girl knew her anger was unreasonable, but she was angry nonetheless.

The girl even felt like moving out of the courtyard, because she sensed that her Dao Heart was becoming slightly unstable.

But just the day before the girl genuinely planned to move out of the courtyard,

this man found the girl again and began speaking to her.

Although it was only a simple “Have you eaten?”

it was extremely important in the girl’s heart.

That single, simple sentence from the man made the girl abandon the thought of moving out of the courtyard.

Subsequently, the girl and the man continued to live in the courtyard.

She didn’t chase him away, and the man didn’t leave.

However, shortly after, the girl learned from her best friend that the man seemed to be planning one last confession.

She learned from her best friend

that if his confession failed this time,

he would leave this town and never return to this place.

Listening to her friend’s words, the girl gently bit her red lip… For several days, the girl was somewhat absent-minded.

At one point, the girl couldn’t even cultivate properly.

In the girl’s view, she should not accept the man’s feelings.

She should reject him, let him leave properly, and completely sever their relationship.

After all, immortals and mortals are different; she should maintain a certain distance from him.

But the thought that this man would leave and she would never see him again made the girl extremely agitated.

She didn’t want him to leave, but the girl felt she absolutely couldn’t accept his feelings.

The girl felt she only cared about him, and wasn’t sure if it was love, because she had never liked anyone before.

Furthermore, the girl had no experience in loving anyone.

She didn’t know how to be a good partner if she accepted him.

She was even more unsure how she would live with him in the future.

Moreover, being the Saintess of Zilin Holy Land, if she truly accepted his confession,

would that cause a great impact on him?

Would her Master be angry with her?

Or if her Master found out about this, would she deliberately harm him in order to make her leave the Mortal World?

One question after another surfaced in the girl’s mind.

The girl truly didn’t know how to choose.

How the girl wished that everything her best friend said was just hearsay, rumors, or lies.

That way, she wouldn’t have to face such a difficult dilemma.

But soon, when the man placed a letter in the girl’s room,

and the girl returned and saw the letter,

she already knew.

She couldn’t avoid it.

Everything her best friend had said was true.

Opening the envelope and reading every word on the letter, the girl fell into deep contemplation.

He had set a time.

And as time advanced day by day,

the girl felt even more restless and uneasy.

How she wished that day would never come.

But that’s how things are: the more you dread something, the more likely it is to happen.

The girl wished time would pass slowly, but this period seemed to fly by quickly.

Soon enough, that day finally arrived.

The night before that day, there was a heavy snowfall.

That night was a bit cold, and the girl didn’t sleep at all.

She kept thinking about what she should do tomorrow.

Should she go?

If she went, how should she face him?

Very early, just as the dawn sky was breaking, the girl heard the sound of a door opening on the other side of the courtyard.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, the girl jumped, like a startled little animal.

In the girl’s memory, she had never been this nervous before.

The girl knew he must be leaving and waiting for her under the willow tree!

After the man left, the girl also dressed and put on heavy makeup.

Then the girl sat alone in the courtyard.

The girl raised her head, looking at the snow-falling sky.

The girl couldn’t help but fall into her own thoughts.

As time slowly passed, the appointed hour drew nearer and nearer.

Finally, the girl made a decision: she decided to let him go.

That is to say, on this day, she decided to reject the man.

If he wanted to leave, then let him leave. After all, she and he had no future together.

Since that was the case, it was better to make him truly give up hope.

So, just as the appointed time was about to pass, the girl walked over to the willow tree.

When the girl saw the man, her heart pounded very fast.

The girl walked up to the man.

The man sincerely confessed his feelings to the girl.

Listening to his confession, the girl felt very happy inside.

She also knew that there was a snowman here.

Hidden inside this snowman was a ring that he had personally carved.

After the man finished his confession, people nearby came out and started cheering and teasing.

Although the girl thought this move was a bit strange, she felt a strong sense of warmth.

However, looking at the man’s sincere smiling face, the girl ultimately shook her head and rejected him.

When the girl refused, the man’s face turned completely Pale, as if all color had drained away.

The girl felt a sharp pain in her heart watching him.

The girl stepped forward, wanting to explain further.

For example, revealing her identity.

First, explaining that she and he were separated by the boundary between immortals and mortals.

Next, telling him that he didn’t need to like her.

That she actually wasn’t worthy of his affection.

But just as these words were about to leave her mouth, the man kept backing away.

In truth, the girl’s heart was also weeping.

Although she was the one who rejected him,

in the girl’s heart, she felt that her heart had never ached so much.

Finally, seeing the man gradually leaving, the girl took a step forward, wanting to chase after him.

But in the end, she still stopped herself.

The distraught girl stood on the snow for a very long time.

Until his silhouette completely vanished from the girl’s sight, and until the man’s friends and the girl’s friends had all left.

The girl remained standing in the snow.

She looked at the small snowman piled up in the snow.

Goose-feather-like white snow continuously fell from the sky.

Until her hair and shoulders were completely covered by the white snow.

The girl didn’t know how much time had passed, but finally, she crouched down.

Extending her small hand, the girl reached towards the snowman.

At the location of the snowman’s heart,

the girl dug out a ring carved from jade.

The girl knew the meaning of this ring.

Because the girl had once heard the man mention it.

This was a custom in his hometown.

If one wore this ring on their ring finger, it meant accepting the marriage proposal.

Which meant agreeing to marry him as his wife.

Holding the ring, the girl sat down next to the snowman.

She watched the rays of sunlight filter through the gaps in the willow tree, casting light upon the surrounding snow.

In the very end, the girl opened her palm.

Looking at the exquisite jadeite ring, the girl then slipped it onto the ring finger of her left hand.

At this moment, the girl had made her decision.

She no longer wanted to think about so many things.

She didn’t want him to leave; she wanted him to stay by her side forever.

So even if immortals and mortals were separate, and even if she was the Saintess of Zilin Holy Land,

and even if her Master disapproved,

and even if she didn’t know how to be a good wife in the future,

regardless of everything, the girl had truly made up her mind.

She was going to be with him properly.

Thereupon, the girl chased after the direction the man had left.

She wanted to tell him that she would marry him.

On the town streets, the girl continuously asked about the man’s whereabouts.

After asking many people, the girl finally found the man in a tavern, drunk and passed out on a table.

Looking at him completely unconscious from drink,

the girl felt a little angry, a little helpless, but also a little bit happy.

Even though the girl knew this happiness was inappropriate,

the girl still felt that at least she was in his heart.

Finally, the girl personally carried the man on her back from the tavern back to the courtyard.

Placing him on the bed, the girl washed his face, wiped his body, and changed his clothes for him.

Then the girl looked at him.

The girl watched for a very long time.

In the girl’s heart, this man was now her husband.

He was the one she would spend her life with.

And when the man woke up, he saw the ring on the girl’s hand.

Actually, at this moment, in the girl’s heart, if the man were to ask anything, she would tell him.

But since he didn’t ask her anything, she felt there was no need to say anything yet.

Anyway, as long as they loved each other, that was enough.

Finally, the girl and the man got married.

Moreover, due to various reasons, the girl originally wanted to tell the man her identity at some point, but she always missed the chance.

So today…

Jiang Qingshang gently bit her thin lip, her trembling eyes looking directly into Lin Xun’s eyes.

“Today, that girl wants to tell that man her true identity.

Although she doesn’t know what the man will ultimately think, today might be the best opportunity, and she can’t delay any longer.

Husband, do you think that’s right…”
