My cultivation is too warm

Ling You had barely finished speaking, and before Xu Mo and the others could say anything, Ming Hun on the other side shouted excitedly.

Then, staring at Lingyou in disbelief, he asked, "Elder, what did you say? Marriage? Us?"

Lingyou nodded. "What, you don't want to?"

After hearing this, Minghun hurriedly waved his hands and said, "No, no, no, what I mean is... I... I... it's just... Elder, are you really willing to marry me? You're not..."

He was so excited that he became incoherent, his mouth trembling as he spoke for a long time before he finally managed to utter a complete sentence:
"Elder, you don't need to force yourself just because I saved you."

Although his relationship with Lingyou was almost like that of a couple, he always felt that it was just the Grand Elder deliberately catering to him, rather than that he truly liked her.

The ghost's words earned Lingyou a roll of her eyes; she was speechless at the man's stupidity.

Not only Ling You, but even Xu Mo, an outsider, was amused and annoyed by Ming Hun's words.

Xu Mo stepped forward, grasped Minghun's shoulder, and with one hand moved his head. He then addressed Lingyou, saying:
"Come, come, my good brother, please open your eyes and see who this person is?"

The ghost, bewildered, replied, "It's the Grand Elder."

Xu Mo was furious, then raised his voice and said, "Since you know who she is, how did you conclude that she doesn't like you?"

"Anyone, or even anyone who isn't human, as long as they have eyes, can see at a glance how much she loves you. And you actually say she's forcing herself? Brother, I'm really ashamed to even look at you like that."

The Soul of the Underworld looked shocked. "Brother Xu, do you mean that the Grand Elder didn't force himself on me, but genuinely likes me?"

"Otherwise what?" Xu Mo said irritably.

Upon hearing this, Minghun stared blankly, somewhat incredulous. The fact, so dreamlike and surprising, made him feel as if he were truly dreaming.

Then he stammered, "But, but..."

He had many questions in his mind, but he couldn't express them in words.

He just felt that although he and the Grand Elder got along very well, there was always something missing between them. He felt that the Grand Elder did not really like him, but was just deliberately putting on a show so that he would work harder in his cultivation.

This feeling was something he had since they were very young, back in their small mountain village, before they joined the sect. Therefore, he believed that the Great Elder's intentions had always been the same as when they were children, and had never changed.

Seeing the dazed and wooden look on the ghost's face, Lingyou finally couldn't help but speak:

“When you were little, my father disliked you a lot. He said you were too naughty and wouldn’t let me play with you. He even said that if he saw us being too close, he would break your legs.”

“Back then, I really, really, really liked you. I wanted to play with you, but I didn’t want your father to break your legs because of it, so I deliberately kept my distance when I played with you.”

Lingyou said "I like it" three times in a row to express her feelings that she had suppressed for so long.

She never confessed her feelings to the ghost.

When I was a child, it was because my father stopped me.

After joining the sect, he didn't want to implicate Minghun's cultivation.

She actually understood why Minghun was so shocked and why he thought she had never liked him, because all along, she had unconsciously kept her distance from him at the last moment.

It was precisely this feeling of being neither close nor distant that led to the misunderstanding by the spirit.

So, actually... it's not the ghost's fault, but your own. Keeping him hanging like that, you were really wicked.

However, she also felt a sense of pride and deep happiness. Such a long wait would have made anyone else disheartened and left long ago.

But the spirit never changed its mind; it always liked and loved itself deeply.

She felt incredibly lucky to have fallen for a ghost.

Upon hearing Ling You's words, Minghun was stunned for a moment. Then, his entire face seemed to be enveloped in happiness as he smiled foolishly and said, "Elder, are you saying that you've liked me since you were very young?"

Lingyou blushed and nodded, replying with a light laugh, "Yes, I've liked you for a very, very long time."

Although she was smiling, everyone could sense the seriousness in her tone.

Then she extended a hand to Minghun and whispered, "So, Minghun, are you willing to marry me and spend the rest of your life with me?"

Seeing this, Minghun quickly grasped her hand and replied excitedly and earnestly, "Elder, you should know that I have been waiting for this day for a very, very long time, perhaps even longer than you have liked me."

"Now that this day has finally come, I will never let you leave my side, Elder, no matter what."

After saying that, the two did not hug each other, but simply smiled at each other. They no longer needed to hug to express their feelings at this moment. They were already the happiest couple and did not need to do anything special.

After the two calmed down, Xu Mo finally spoke up: "Now that my elder brother and sister-in-law have agreed, when do you think would be a good date for the wedding?"

The spirit looked at Lingyou, who pondered for a moment before replying to Xu Mo with composure, "We've just arrived in this era and need to adapt to this new world. How about we set it for a month from now?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Minghun chuckled and said, "I'll listen to the Grand Elder."

Xu Mo nodded upon hearing this, "In that case, I'll show my elder brother and sister-in-law the new Canggu World these next few days."

After settling down, the group chatted for a while. Xu Mo first taught them some basic life skills, then gave each of them a cell phone, and then quietly led Liang Huanhuan and the others away.

The two had just explained their feelings to each other and probably needed some time to talk things out. It wouldn't be good for them to stay here, so they were even allowed to have dinner together.

The night passed, and the next day, Ling You found Xu Mo alone, bowed deeply to him with utmost solemnity, and said thank you.

Her actions left Xu Mo completely dumbfounded, staring at her with utter confusion.

Lingyou explained very seriously, "Actually, when we came out of the space-time rift, I felt that we were really going to die. That feeling of death was very clear, it didn't seem like a lie. But in the end, we survived."

"Although I can't explain why, after seeing you, Brother Xu, I had a very strong feeling that the reason why Minghun and I were able to survive was because he and you became sworn brothers."

After saying that, she realized that her behavior was a bit funny, so she waved her hand and explained, "This is just my feeling. In any case, I wanted to come and thank you, Brother Xu. Besides, we were indeed saved by you, so it is only right to say thank you."

Then she shook her head. "Although this is just my feeling, I really think that guy Minghun is sometimes... lucky fools."

After she finished speaking, she gracefully bowed to Xu Mo again to say goodbye, "That's all I wanted to say. Then, I'll trouble you to show us around later, Brother Xu. See you later."

After saying that, she turned and left.

Xu Mo stood there dumbfounded, feeling a little emotional. Was this a girl's intuition?
That's truly terrifying! (End of Chapter)
