Lucky Farmer Girl: I rely on metaphysics to support my family

Chapter 761 Listening
That night, Tang Wan had just lain down, but couldn't fall asleep; she was still waiting for news from the War King.

A moment later, the sound of a special bell specially designed for the War King rang out in the space.

She quietly got off the kang (a heated brick bed) and gently went into the bathroom.

Then, with a thought, Tang Wan entered the space and simultaneously picked up the bell placed there.

The bell rang, and the War King's deep yet gentle voice sounded from the other end: "Wan'er, I'm done with my work. It's so late, have I disturbed your rest?"

"No, have you settled in yet?" Tang Wan replied softly.

"Yes, the delegation has settled in, and the defenses have been arranged." He paused, a hint of weariness in his voice.

Tang Wan could naturally hear the fatigue in his voice, and couldn't help but say with heartache, "You need to rest. Do you still have the water I brought you to strengthen your body and replenish your energy?"

The War King understood Tang Wan's subtext, but he felt it was unnecessary to waste it, so he smiled and refused, "There are still some left, but I don't need them right now. I'll just take a nap."

He discovered that this stuff not only strengthens the body but also helps with wound healing. He couldn't bear to waste such a good thing. He was just a little tired and would be completely fine after a good night's sleep. There was no need to waste such a good thing.

"Don't worry about wasting it, I have plenty here, feel free to use it!" Tang Wan replied generously.

The War King's deep laughter reached Tang Wan's ears from the bell's direction. He said with a smile, "I know Wan'er is capable and has many treasures, but I can't send your treasures over right away. I'm just a little tired from traveling today. I'll be fine after a night's rest."

Tang Wan didn't say much after hearing what the War King said, because he was telling the truth.

Now I only regret not sending more spiritual spring water over back then.

When the War King received no response from Tang Wan, fearing she was angry, he called out softly, "Wan'er? Are you angry?"

Tang Wan's frustration was interrupted by the War King, who replied, "No, how could that be!"

Tang Wan spoke as she walked into the villa in the space.

She had just picked up the bell, and while talking, she stood still.

The War King was relieved to hear that he wasn't angry. He had been worried that if they didn't contact each other for a long time, he might irritate the other person when they did.

"That's good. How has the Northern Desert been lately? Is everything alright at home?" The War King asked, choosing a safe topic.

Tang Wan's lips unconsciously curved into a smile as she replied, "Everything is fine."

Then, Tang Wan mentioned that the new wine brewed by the Yu family had been launched on the market, and she proudly emphasized, "This will also be a source of income for me in the future!"

"Wan'er is very capable!" the War King praised sincerely.

Besides the new wine, Tang Wan also told the War King some lighthearted stories about the recent autumn harvest at home, the operation of the workshop, and the trivial matters of the state government shops.

The War King was a good listener, occasionally interjecting with a question or two, but mostly praising Tang Wan.

They talked for a long time, from the autumn colors of the northern desert to the situation in the capital.

The War King also talked about the attack on the Southern Desert and what he saw and heard during the march.

The two chatted more and more congenially, and the estrangement and awkwardness that had accumulated over the past two months gradually melted away. After an unknown amount of time, the War King's voice suddenly paused.

When he spoke again, his tone became unusually solemn, even a little nervous: "Wan'er!"

"Hmm?" Tang Wan responded. She also noticed a change in the King of War's tone and wondered why the King of War was suddenly calling her name so solemnly.
The War King took a deep breath before asking, word by word, "Once this matter is settled, I will return to the Northern Desert and wish to propose marriage to the Tang family. Are you willing?"

After saying this, the War King became somewhat nervous, fearing that Tang Wan would disagree, and was already thinking about how to persuade her.

Tang Wan's heart skipped a beat!
A marriage proposal! Although the War King had mentioned it before, for some reason, when the topic of marriage proposal came up again, Tang Wan's cheeks instantly burned, her heart pounded, and all sorts of thoughts rushed through her mind.

She had long understood his feelings.

During his time in the Southern Desert, her worries and anxieties made her see her own heart more clearly.

It's clear that she has fallen deeply in love with the King of War at some point in her life.

Even so, I am different from ordinary people and have my own mission.

Thinking of this, Tang Wan's expression turned colder, and she said in a calm tone, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness, but as you know, I spend my days catching ghosts and exorcising evil spirits, so I'm afraid I'm not suitable to be a princess."

After all, royal rules are strict, and as a princess, how could she run around outside all day and do things that were not in line with her status?

Upon hearing Tang Wan's words, the War King hurriedly replied, "This is nothing. The one I'm seeking to marry is someone extraordinary like you. Do whatever you want. The royal palace will not be a cage that confines you. I will be your support. If you wish, I can accompany you when you're exorcising ghosts and evil spirits!"

The War King wished Tang Wan would agree to anything she said right now. He wasn't afraid of exorcising evil spirits or catching ghosts, since he still had Wan'er's talisman to protect him!

Tang Wan was satisfied with the War King's answer. At least the War King understood and respected her wishes. As for the War King's offer to accompany her, there was no need for that. So she quickly refused, saying, "There's no need for you to accompany me. Just don't interfere with me!"

Although the War King's kung fu is very powerful, exorcising ghosts and evil spirits is not something an ordinary person can do. Although the War King has a good destiny, he can't withstand the long-term effects, so it's best to give up.

Although the War King was somewhat disappointed, he knew he didn't have the ability and would likely be a burden if he followed, so he had to give up the idea and added, "That's fine then, just one thing: you must prioritize your own safety and don't make me worry."

“Okay! I will pay close attention!” Tang Wan replied earnestly.

"Then what other concerns do you have?" the War King asked calmly.

He was no longer as nervous as he had been at the beginning; instead, he was thinking about how to resolve Tang Wan's concerns.

After a moment's thought, Tang Wan concluded, "So we've reached an agreement: even if we get married in the future, I won't be confined to the inner courtyard of the mansion. In other words, I retain my freedom and space to act as I see fit, right?"

“That’s right! I support you in doing what you love!” the War King said sincerely.

Hearing this, Tang Wan couldn't help but smile slightly and said, "Since Your Highness supports me doing what I like, then I'll ask for the moon."

"Since I agree, you may speak freely." The War King did not mind Tang Wan setting conditions; having conditions meant he would agree to the marriage as long as she agreed.

Although the War King said that, Tang Wan did not respond immediately.

After hesitating for a moment, Tang Wan slowly said, "This condition may sound a bit unbelievable, but it is my truest thought. If Your Highness cannot agree, it is alright. In the future, if Your Highness needs me, I will still do my best."
