Half-life immortal

Chapter 136 Please Be My Wife
Xue Qinglan felt that this excuse was too...too unbelievable, no matter how smart she was, no matter how much she imagined, she would not be able to guess the answer Xu Shili gave her now, if getting married was just an excuse, why did she find her?
She felt that her luck was so bad that she was hit by falling rocks when she went out. There are so many women in Da Luo, but taking a step back, there are also many women in Jiangdu City!Even if you look around in the palace, there are many beautiful women. Why did the emperor ask her to marry after watching her dance?This is too unfair!
She said angrily: "Since it's just an excuse, why do you have to get married? Can't you do something else? For example, sacrifice, divination, etc., or it's not bad under the banner of expropriating young men! Why do you have to do something else?" Get married? And you have to—”

She wanted to say "I must marry you", but the words stopped at the end of her mouth, and she had several thoughts in her heart: She was a little dissatisfied after hearing this, but what did Xu Shili do? What do you think?Is he willing to let his marriage be used by the emperor like this?Also, the emperor obviously has many choices, why choose her?Is it really because I saw her dancing and thought she was good?

But these are not the reasons for her anger. What she is really angry about is because the emperor just talked to himself and set up a conspiracy without asking her personal opinion at all!unacceptable!She, Xue Qinglan, hasn't nodded yet, getting married, getting married!

Xu Shili comforted him: "Junior Sister Xue, please don't get excited, I've already made up my mind that your name and surname will not be announced during the engagement, and I will only say that you are Yue Qingwu's apprentice. Say your name is Xiaoxue. As long as your name is not leaked, the impact on your reputation will be minimized. And when the banquet is held, only some people will participate, and you can still cover your face with tulle."

Xue Qinglan said angrily: "Oh, brother Xu, it's not a matter of fame! Aren't you angry? Being used like this."

Xu Shili fell silent suddenly, and silently looked at Xue Qinglan, as if he had something to say.

Xue Qinglan could see that he wanted to say something with this expression, and said, "Just say what you want to say, don't look at me like that."

Xu Shili lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "Actually, Junior Sister Xue, I may not be able to fight side by side with you as the senior brother of Taiqing Mountain for a while. When I return to Daluo, I must serve as the third prince." Appear, and you will stand in another team as a cultivator, and we will be far apart."

"And then?" Xue Qinglan didn't think about this question, but now that Xu Shili raised it, she didn't think it was a big deal.

Xu Shili raised his head abruptly, and said, "If you are not by my side, I can't protect you. And if you can temporarily become my wife, then you can stand by my side as a matter of course, no matter what happens afterwards, I promise to protect you with my life and not let you suffer any harm."

Xue Qinglan blinked, then laughed, and said, "Senior Brother Xu, what are you talking about? How could it be so dangerous. And I'm also very powerful. You didn't see that, but I can actually protect myself."

"It's different," Xu Shili shook his head repeatedly, pressed Xue Qinglan's shoulder, and said to her seriously: "I mean, I want to have a chance to protect you. Junior Sister Xue, if you can become my wife , even if it’s just pretending, I will treat you sincerely and do my best to make you willing to stay and continue to be my wife. Can you, can you give me such a chance? "

Xue Qinglan was completely stunned, looking at his very determined eyes, she thought: Is this a marriage proposal?

She was full of uncertainty and said: "Brother Xu...Are you serious? Are you sure you're not fooling me?"

Xu Shili looked at her firmly, and said, "Well, I'm speaking from the bottom of my heart, and it has nothing to do with Father's idea."

When he said that, Xue Qinglan was immediately in a dilemma. Things changed too fast, which was beyond her expectation.Although she always thought that Xu Shili was a perfect man and the dream partner of most women, but when it was her turn, she hadn't thought about getting married yet, let alone staying with Xu Shili for the rest of her life. But now Xu Shili confessed his love to her so suddenly.

The second senior brother Situ Xiu had told her that he liked her half-jokingly before, but she understood Situ Xiu's temperament and knew that it was mostly a joke.But Xu Shili is different, he is more upright and rigorous, he never speaks lightly, and today he said these words to her so formally and seriously, it shows that he is really interested in her...

Oh, Senior Brother Xu, you are so annoying!How do you make things more and more complicated!Originally, it was just pretending to be a kiss and it was over. What should people do when you say that?Isn't this a fake show?

She felt that she had to think about this question for a long time before she could figure it out, but the trouble was that Xu Shili just looked at her eagerly, waiting for her reply.How should she reply?She couldn't figure it out herself, not only did her mind not sort out the matter clearly, but it became more and more chaotic!
She had no choice but to say tentatively: "Brother Xu, regarding the fake marriage, is it your idea or His Majesty's idea?"

This question is obviously also a problem, because according to Xu Shili's current attitude, she is very suspicious that His Majesty the Emperor would not choose other excuses, but Xu Shili is the reason why she must come.In this way, the army can be dispatched logically, and a concern for his son can be settled. It really kills two birds with one stone.

If you explain it that way, everything makes sense.

Xu Shili said without the slightest hesitation: "Father mentioned it, but I think he probably saw my feelings for you. And the reason why he appeared in Baijiang Tower today may be because I used the palace His power paves the way for you, thus attracting his attention."

"Is that so?" Xue Qinglan couldn't help but feel ashamed, and finally the problem was her own?

Xue Qinglan broke free from his hand without a trace, walked to the window, looked up at the bright sunshine outside the window, and said in a gloomy mood, "Senior brother Xu, can you let me think about it?"

Xu Shili was actually very nervous. He felt that his heart had never been beating so fast. Hearing this, he hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, Junior Sister Xue, I pushed you too hard. In fact, don't give me the answer, you are free." Yes, you can leave whenever you want. I just hope you can try to stay... Really just try once."

Xue Qinglan thought for a while, and said, "The marriage bestowed by His Majesty the Emperor is really just a fake marriage, right?"

"En." Xu Shili nodded with a complicated mood.

It's okay if they get married in a fake way, Xu Shili has helped her so much, it's nothing if she helps him a little in return.Anyway, it wasn't a real marriage, and he wouldn't do anything to her, and with her temperament, the so-called fame and other things couldn't catch her eyes.In the past, when she lied to others, she often said that she was someone's concubine, daughter-in-law, etc., in order to solicit sympathy from others, so what's the difficulty in pretending to be a princess now?
From the very beginning, she never worried about her reputation. What is a reputation? Can she get copper coins...

It doesn't matter if she is a maverick, anyway, her thinking angle is completely different from Xu Shili's worrying direction, but she doesn't want to give up her whole life so easily.And if it's just a little favor for Xu Shili according to the order, temporarily taking care of him and the emperor's face, and repaying some of his kindness, maybe you can get some money out of it, as long as Xu Shili doesn't force She, no matter how you think about it, it's only good for her, not bad.

And she also knows Xu Shili's temperament, he is a gentleman, he will not force her to do something she doesn't like.So this fake marriage conspiracy is feasible!

As for how to make Xu Shili give up on her after the fact... This is a problem, after all, this is the first time someone confessed to her, and she was at a loss what to do.

In the past, she was just a very ordinary woman, but now, her face has not changed, but her whole temperament has changed drastically, and finally someone really likes her.In fact, to be honest, she was very happy.

There is no woman who doesn't want someone to like her, and he is such an excellent man, even if Xue Qinglan is very picky, she can't find anything wrong with Xu Shili.He is not only a prince, but also an extremely powerful immortal cultivator. He has great leadership skills and values ​​love and righteousness. It can be seen from his attitude towards his companions and mother. Such a man is so good that Xue Qinglan can't pick anything Bad situation.Xue Qinglan was greatly surprised that he actually liked her, and she still hasn't fully accepted this fact until now.

Thinking about it this way, Xu Shili is also a good choice!There's no need to rush to deny it, maybe she really won't want to leave after getting along for a long time!
Taking a step back, she still has a choice. If she still doesn't want to be with Xu Shili, Xu Shili has said that she can leave at any time!It has always been her style to go after the benefits. Faced with a choice that is beneficial but harmless, what reason does she have to refuse?
She quickly made a decision, just as quickly as she made decisions in the past, and said to Xu Shili with a smile: "Senior Brother Xu is right, since there is something that needs my help, I should do my best to help. As for the future There is no rush now."

Xu Shili was overjoyed and said, "You agreed?"

Xue Qinglan rubbed her nose, and said emphatically, "Yes, but I hope Senior Brother Xu will keep your promise and ensure that my name and surname will not be leaked out, and you will not regret it afterwards."

The remorse she said was naturally what Xu Shili said about giving her freedom, she didn't want to be chained to a certain place for the rest of her life.However, the reason why she agreed so quickly was not because she placed all her bets on Xu Shili. In fact, it was more because of her own changes.

After these three months of growth, she has undergone earth-shaking changes. First of all, with the growth of her strength, her self-confidence has also increased. Even in the face of a giant like Da Luo, she believes that it is no problem for her to retreat completely. .The second is her own personality, whether it is a name or a name, it is not so important to her that it is indispensable.She was originally an orphan with no name and no surname, so the so-called name was just a code name she gave herself, and as for name festivals, she never appeared in Xue Qinglan's dictionary.

Of course Xu Shili agreed again and again, unable to suppress his joy, he rushed over to hug Xue Qinglan, but his always rational nature restrained this impulse, and finally gave him a light hug to show own joy.He also understands that Xue Qinglan's promise now is more of a compromise, it does not mean that she is really willing to become his wife, and how far they will go in the future depends on his efforts.

Seeing him so happy, Xue Qinglan couldn't help feeling a little ashamed, and after thinking about it, she still asked the question in her heart: "Senior brother Xu, what do you like about me?"

It's not that she is ashamed of herself. Although she thinks she is excellent, the excellence she thinks does not seem to be the kind of excellence that men like.In this world, especially among the many female immortal cultivators, there are more beautiful, outstanding, smart and capable, gentle and gentle people than her. She feels that her greatest advantage is her strong ability to survive. But such advantages don't seem to be a place that men like...

So she really couldn't figure out why and when Xu Shili fell in love with her, why didn't she see it all the time?I just think that he is very kind to every junior and senior sister!
Xu Shili was really happy. Hearing this, he said, "Actually, I don't know. Maybe I was attracted by you, Junior Sister Xue...by Qinger, your unique charm. Maybe you didn't realize that, among the same crowd, , you are the only woman with a unique radiance, your strength, intelligence, bravery, and occasional mischievous humor are all part of your unique charm."

"Oh..." Xue Qinglan nodded half-understood. In fact, she didn't think she had any "unique charm" at all. It was probably because Xu Shili had seen too many orthodox immortal cultivators, so he saw her. Such a female gangster would find it novel.This is not surprising at all, as time gets longer, he will also find a part of her that is different from what he knows like Feng Yutian, and then will he still be able to say what he said today? Woolen cloth?Certainly not!

To put it bluntly, this is not called love, at best it is a short-term liking. After he loses interest in her, he will stop thinking about marrying her as his wife, right?
Xue Qinglan felt that she had discovered Xu Shili's true thoughts, and she was determined.No matter how complicated anything seems on the surface, as long as the reasons and essence are clear, it is not difficult to solve.

But Xu Shili didn't seem to notice her thoughts, and continued: "I don't know if you still remember the first time we met. At that time, you were riding on a white goose, and I passed you by. I think this girl is very special and different from others. And you are the first girl I met who dared to make faces at me in Taiqing Mountain for so many years."

Xue Qinglan also remembered the "passing by" that she regarded as an episode at that time, and said with shame: "I didn't know who you were at the time! Later, Xiaobai scolded you severely!"

"Hahahaha!" Xu Shili laughed out loud when he heard the words, "But we didn't see you change your mind about me after we met again. Then what did you think afterwards?"

Xue Qinglan pouted and said: "What else can I think, you can see that you are a rich and powerful young master, who is not in the same world as me! But you helped me deal with the old man in the Sutra Pavilion, I have always been grateful Revenge, since you have helped me, then I will reluctantly remember your face."

Xu Shili smiled and said, "That's when you remembered my face? I didn't know that my sense of existence was so meager."

Xue Qinglan said confidently: "I was very busy at the time! There are so many unfamiliar faces on Mount Taiqing, and I still have to remember them one by one? I don't have a photographic memory! Besides, people's memory is limited. Of course, the extra space must be used in the most critical places! I have that memory, so I might as well read more about my exercises!"

"Okay, okay, what Qinger said makes sense." Xu Shili finally embraced her calmly, but Xue Qinglan hesitated for a moment and did not refuse.The two began to have a long conversation in this deserted palace, it seemed that even Xu Shili had forgotten that this was the palace he hated the most.

When the excitement cooled down, Xu Shili remembered the specific arrangements for the future, and said, "Qing'er, I told them that your name is Xiaoxue, so I will also call you Xiaoxue in front of outsiders, okay?"

"It doesn't matter, you can call it whatever you like." Xue Qinglan doesn't care about such trivial things.

Xu Shili liked her understanding more and more, and said: "I will say to the outside world that you are the dancer at Baijianglou today, but as soon as this word gets out, I think Miss Yue and others will know that Xiaoxue is referring to you. Miss Yue should be fine, she won't object, but do we need to explain it to others?"

"Others? Who else?" Xue Qinglan couldn't think of who else could control her freedom.

Xu Shili thought she was asking the question knowingly, and sighed, feeling that the name should not be said by him, but Xue Qinglan blinked at him, so he had no choice but to honestly say: "It's Junior Brother Feng, don't you need it?" Explain it to him?"

Xue Qinglan suddenly realized, and said: "Ah, you are talking about Feng Yutian! It's been a long time since I mentioned this name, if you don't mention it, I will almost forget it! Uh... His Majesty the Emperor has not even mentioned our fake marriage. The eldest prince and the second prince didn't tell me, so it must be a secret, why don't you go out and talk nonsense?"

"Of course it's inappropriate, but Junior Brother Feng...he shouldn't be considered an outsider."

Xue Qinglan said irresponsibly, "Then it's up to you!"

With a wave of her little hand, she gave Xu Shili the right to make the decision, which made Xu Shili very puzzled.Because he always believed that Xue Qinglan and Feng Yutian had a long-standing love affair, and Yulian had also asked him because of this matter before, which gave him a lot of headaches.He originally thought that this would also be an obstacle between him and Xue Qinglan, but Xue Qinglan's performance was so open-minded, which was really beyond his expectations.
