She Shocks The Whole World After Retirement Novel - Chapter 263
Chapter 263: Proposal, The Most Romantic Confession
Sheng Xiao’s smile was short-lived. He quickly regained his composure.
After putting down the fish plate, Sheng Xiao suddenly said, “I’ll perform a Star Plucking Spell for you.” A dragon’s roar was heard. Sheng Xiao stepped on Black Qing Sky Dragon’s head and the two of them flew into the forest behind them.
Yu Huang could not see Sheng Xiao and only heard the commotion caused by Black Qing Sky Dragon in the forest. Although she was curious about what Sheng Xiao was doing, she still waited patiently.
About three to four minutes later, Sheng Xiao suddenly rushed into the sky from the forest. He stood high in the sky and said to Yu Huang, “Watch carefully!”
Yu Huang didn’t even blink.
Sheng Xiao opened a white jade bottle. The mouth of the bottle was open. Little butterflies shining with blue light flew out of the bottle. They filled the sky above Yu Huang’s head. In the dark night, the little blue butterflies fluttered their wings. They were like stars falling in front of Yu Huang.
Yu Huang subconsciously reached out her hand to touch them. Only when she reached out her hand did she realize that she was still a distance away from those stars.
Sheng Xiao used his spiritual power to control every butterfly and made them gather into the shape of a huge heart. Sheng Xiao pushed them toward Yu Huang and they floated in front of her.
Yu Huang quickly put down the fish plate. She stood up and poked the butterflies. The butterflies immediately scattered. In an instant, Yu Huang was surrounded by the butterflies. This dreamy scene made Yu Huang hold her breath.
The butterfly circled around Yu Huang for a while before transforming into the shape of a huge ring in front of her. At the base of the ring, the two small butterflies used their wings to hold up a golden ring.
Sheng Xiao flew down from the sky and stood in front of Yu Huang. He said, “I heard that you have an Eternal Eye that can see the past and predict the future.”
Sheng Xiao bent down and locked eyes with Yu Huang. Yu Huang could clearly see his eyelashes. “Wine, look. Is my future filled with you?”
Sheng Xiao opened his heart to her. Yu Huang looked into his dark eyes. She saw the scenes she had seen in his eyes again.
It was a blissful family of four.
Yu Huang shook her head and said, “That’s not right.”
Thinking that Yu Huang was saying that she would not exist in his future, Sheng Xiao’s handsome face became sulky. “…Is that wrong? We’re not together?”
Sheng Xiao found it difficult to ask.
When Yu Huang heard Sheng Xiao’s question and saw the dark look on his face, she realized that Sheng Xiao had misunderstood again. She chuckled and said, “There are two cute children.”
Hearing that, Sheng Xiao’s expression lit up. “Children? Is it a boy or a girl?”
“Two little girls.”
Sheng Xiao suddenly smiled.
He took off the ring on the butterfly’s back, then the butterflies immediately flapped their small wings and flew away.
Sheng Xiao grabbed Yu Huang’s left hand and held the ring. “Do you know that there are very few beast tamers holding wedding ceremonies in the Holy Spirit Continent now?”
Yu Huang revealed a puzzled look. “Why?”
Sheng Xiao said, “Because a wedding requires marriage under the witness of the heavens. Do you know about the marriage compact?”
Yu Huang asked thoughtfully, “The marriage compact you’re talking about is referring to the marriage contract?” There were many kinds of contracts in this world, and the marriage compact was an ancient contract, a contract that many beast tamers would form when they got married.
A marriage compact referred to the soul contract between a husband and wife. From then on, there would be one of you and one of me. If one party betrayed the other, the other party could control the other party’s life.
But Sheng Xiao shook his head. He said, “A marriage contract is just an ordinary contract. Many beast tamers can form a marriage contract with each other when they fall in love. But a marriage compact is a contract that requires one to worship the heavens and ask for the blessings of the heavens. It is an existence that is more stable and powerful than a marriage contract.”
“If a marriage contract is a long string planted in a couple’s body, then a marriage compact is a string used to tightly bind a couple’s souls together.”
Yu Huang was stunned when she heard that.
How could there be such a compact?
She had heard from Lin Jiansheng that once a marriage contract was formed, one party had to die, or both parties had to choose to break it. The marriage compact was even more powerful. It would probably be even more difficult to break this contract.
Sheng Xiao said, “Ten thousand years ago, when the beast tamers held their weddings, they only needed to sign a marriage contract. But later, something happened that changed the rules of heaven…”
Yu Huang was interested and asked curiously, “What is it?”
Seeing that she wanted to hear it, Sheng Xiao explained patiently, “It is said that ten thousand years ago, there was a very powerful Beast Tamer who lost his lover forever for some reason. After he survived the Divine Master level’s calamity, the heavens gave him a wish. The Beast Tamer asked the heavens for something, which was a marriage compact.”
“Marriage compact bonds are a marriage line planted by the heavens in the bodies of a couple. This kind of marriage line can surpass the physical body and reincarnation, and it will be branded on this pair of lovers forever. People who are given marriage compacts by the heavens will become eternal lovers. They can’t get a divorce.” 1
Yu Huang’s mouth fell open. “You can’t divorce? No wonder. I’m afraid no one is willing to form such a contract.”
“Yes.” Sheng Xiao sighed with emotion. “If a couple who has been married wants a divorce, both of them have to bear the wrath of the heavens to break the marriage compact.”
And the so-called wrath of the heavens referred to the most extreme power of nature. The strongest thunderbolt, the coldest freeze, the wildest strong wind, the hottest fire…
With four such powerful energies stacked together, even an immortal would be tormented to death, let alone an ordinary Beast Tamer.
Therefore, almost no one was willing to form this marriage compact.
“The heavens are hard to understand. Perhaps it was because he was moved by that senior’s love for his wife. After that, whenever a Beast Tamer held a wedding, the heavens would reward them with a marriage compact. And those who were planted with a marriage compact were unable to break it. As time passed, everyone didn’t dare to hold a wedding.”
“Therefore, in the current cultivation world, beast tamers no longer dared to worship the heavens and the earth. Most of them will hold an engagement ceremony. Couples with deep feelings will plant a marriage contract during the engagement ceremony and be considered to have gotten married.”
Marriage compact was like a curse, cursing them to be together forever.
However, everyone liked new things and hated old things. Who could guarantee that they would not encounter a better person in the future? Who could guarantee that the person they married today was really a good match?
Therefore, only those who had an unforgettable love and were certain that they would forever be with each other would take the risk to hold a wedding and pay their respects to the heavens and the earth.
Of the six great cultivation families in the Divine Moon Empire, only the head of the Sheng family, Sheng Lingfeng, had bowed to the heavens and earth with his wife and had a marriage compact.
“I just wanted to tell you…” Sheng Xiao raised the ring and knelt on one knee in front of Yu Huang. He looked up into Yu Huang’s bright and clear eyes and asked softly,” Yu Huang, are you willing to marry me and worship the heavens with me? ” 1
Yu Huang’s heart fluttered.
Worshiping the heavens together was the most passionate confession in the cultivation world. Few male cultivators dared to make such a promise to female cultivators.
Not many female cultivators could heartlessly refuse such an oath.
At this moment, Yu Huang should be moved to the point of tears. The original Yu Huang had more than ten years of acting experience. If she really wanted to cry, Yu Huang could cry.
But…
Yu Huang smiled.
She smiled and reached out her left hand. “I’m willing to worship the heavens with you.”
Sheng Xiao heaved a sigh of relief.
He solemnly wore the golden ring on the middle finger of Yu Huang’s left hand. He held that hand and raised his head to tell Yu Huang, “When the Cong Lang Mystic Realm is over, I will bring my parents to your house to propose a marriage. After the year is over, we will hold a wedding to commemorate. What do you think?”
The corner of Yu Huang’s lips curled up slightly. “If you dare to, we can publicly worship the heavens in front of the high mountains and sea tonight.”
Sheng Xiao was touched and almost agreed.
Fortunately, he was rational and did not do anything foolish. “Not tonight. The wedding is a serious matter and can’t be rushed. I’ll marry you in the grandest manner.”
“… Okay!”
