Are you really trying to cultivate immortality? Something feels off.

Xie Weixing was already laughing, his shoulders trembling slightly: "We did that kind of thing? What kind of thing?"

I didn't do anything last night, so why are you making it sound like I slept with him? I don't have that ability.

Is it really that urgent?

Are the brave the ones who get to enjoy puppy love first?

"Exactly," Tan Suiting was practically bursting with excitement, "It's something that can only be done with the Crown Princess. I'm sorry, Kunkun, I thought I was dreaming."

After a long silence, Xie Weixing cleared his throat, still smiling, and said, "Dreaming?"

"Um."

"Did you dream about me?"

"Um……"

"Who am I?"

"...You are my senior brother."

"Who is the Crown Princess of the East Sea?"

Tan Suiting was stunned for a moment, and even he, who was slow to realize, knew that Xie Weixing was teasing him.

He remained silent for a moment, his heart pounding in his chest, then reached out and took the hand of the person in front of him, whispering, "It's you."

Xie Weixing grasped his hand again: "Who am I?"

Tan Suiting lowered his eyelashes: "...Xie Weixing."

Say it again.

Do I need to say it again?

Tan Suiting touched her brow with the back of her finger, then hugged him shyly, her earlobe pressed against his cheek, feeling warm and hot: "Senior brother..."

"Stop being coquettish," Xie Weixing pinched his waist, "Speak quickly, I want to hear it."

Tan Suiting paused, took a breath, and quickly said, "The Crown Princess of the East Sea Dragon Clan is Xie Weixing. He is my senior brother."

Xie Weixing was pleased to hear this, let out a long sigh of relief, and began his interrogation: "Do you remember what you said last night?"

Tan Suiting buried her face in his shoulder: "I remember some of it..."

"Some?" Xie Weixing, being hugged too tightly, tilted his head back slightly. "What have you forgotten? Let your senior brother help you remember."

Tan Suiting pursed her lips: "I just can't tell which part is a dream and which part is real."

"That's all," Xie Weixing said casually. "In short, whatever I was like in your erotic dreams, that's what my feelings for you were before."

Tan Suiting was stunned.

"Not only that," Xie Weixing tugged at his hair, raising an eyebrow slightly, "I'm even more extreme in my realism."

"Senior brother," Tan Suiting met his gaze, realizing something, "you've liked me for a long time, haven't you?"

"Yeah," Xie Weixing yawned, "I liked you back in Qingyu Sect. I was thinking, how can someone be so good-looking? So handsome? So tall?"

It turned out it wasn't a person, but a dragon.

Tan Suiting was embarrassed by the compliment and gently twisted his clothes with her fingertips: "I also think you are handsome, especially handsome."

"Liar," Xie Weixing squinted, "You were clearly very mean to me back then."

"I'm not lying," Tan Suiting retorted, frowning. "It's true that I think you're strange, and it's also true that I think you're good-looking."

"Oh...when will you go back to that state? The aloof dragon?" Xie Weixing teased. "Right now you're just a silly little dragon."

Little Yellow Dragon.

Tan Suiting squeezed her fingers between his, holding him tightly as if afraid he would run away, and whispered, "...I'm only clumsy with my senior brother."

……

Swish swish.

Xie Weixing instantly felt as if three Cupid's arrows had pierced his heart.

So the world's number one divine bow isn't the Emperor's appointed divine officer? Get out of here! Above the divine level, what's more exciting than the arrival of true love?

He was so charmed he almost vomited blood, and reached out to pinch Tan Suiting's cheek: "My sweet baby."

How could she possibly make him like her?

"Kunkun," Tan Suiting squeezed his hand, "From now on, we'll be Daoist partners, right? You won't look for anyone else, and I'll be the person you love most in this life, right?"

Looking into the little dragon's bright eyes, Xie Weixing nodded solemnly and whispered, mimicking him, "Yes, you are the person I love most in this life—"

Tan Suiting didn't think Xie Weixing was laughing at him. His usually cold lips curved upwards slightly, revealing a faint dimple: "Then let's go back to the Nie residence now, then back to the sect to tell our master and senior uncle, and then go to the East Sea, okay? Although I can't get married yet, we can get engaged first, and then you will be my Crown Princess."

He cheered himself up, his speech becoming noticeably faster and more excited: "The Empress Dowager showed me the Crown Princess's crown, it's very beautiful, the same color as the Crown Prince's robe. Kunkun, you've never seen me wear the Crown Prince's robe before, because the last time I wore it was when I went to the Southern Frontier to kill Su Boyu's entire clan. Although I don't think it looks good on me, I think it would look great on you. You look good in anything, you..."

"Wait a minute?" Xie Weixing frowned, realizing something was wrong. "What do you mean you can't get married yet? Wasn't it said that the Dragon Clan is known for its bold and open-minded culture, with many women having children before the age of twenty-five?"

Tan Suiting paused for a moment, then explained, "That's an ordinary citizen. The Dragon Clan has a rule that direct descendants of ancient bloodlines cannot marry before the age of twenty-five. Dragons are strong and warlike, and most of them prioritize cultivation over finding a partner. My father and mother were almost two hundred years old when they became Daoist partners after reaching the Nascent Soul Realm."

Xie Weixing was dumbfounded.

……

Grass.

This time, they've really gotten involved with minors.

Grass.

I'm about to get an electric shock.

Xie Weixing couldn't help but imagine himself as the Dragon Clan's Empress.

My obedient son went to the sect to cultivate from a young age. He never complained about hardship or fatigue. He was obedient and reserved. But when he was over 20 and still a minor, he suddenly brought back a girl with dyed white hair and insisted on getting married.

What's the difference between this and a son who is academically excellent bringing home a short, hunched-over boyfriend who wears Chelsea boots and chews gum?

If he were the Dragon Clan's Empress, he would be sharpening his knives right now.

Sharpening their knives, they prepare to strike the lion.

"So, late marriage and late childbirth are the norm among your dragon race?" Xie Weixing asked. "Do you expect me to wait until I'm over two hundred years old to marry you?"

Hehe, haha. Isn't it a bit too early?

Xie Weixing frowned and began pacing back and forth, thinking, "Do your parents really approve of me? Although I am indeed very handsome, talented, and lovable, I'm only at the mid-Nascent Soul stage now. Wouldn't it be inappropriate for them to propose marriage to me?"

The world's least insecure person has appeared.

[You can criticize yourself, fine, but what's the point of praising yourself after saying a few words?]

[Background music starts playing: ding ding ding, don't cry when you're sad... You want to break off the engagement, but you think I...]

[A poor boy with illusions gets noticed by a rich girl (?)]

These two kids dating is hilarious!

Tan Suiting's eyes followed him closely, never leaving his side.

「来南川一趟你回去就说要跟我订婚，你年纪还这幺小，师尊生气怎幺办？师伯气吐血了怎幺办？小师叔气得要揍死我怎幺办？」谢未醒认真思考，「还有你们龙族是不是也有什幺长老啊这那的，万一跟南川聂府的一样棒打鸳鸯逼你跟其他人成亲怎幺办？你们龙族有没有什幺必须生下传承人的规矩啊？」

「没有这些规矩，」谈随亭很利落地回答，「师父师伯生气，你就都推到我身上，本来就是我的错，是我想跟你成亲的，他们不能骂你。小师叔揍你，我是太虚境，可以跟她打，如果打不过，师父师伯也不会亲眼看着我被打死。」

Xie Weixing: ...

Wow, the confidence comes from the fact that Feng Jilan won't just stand by and watch Fu Yao beat him to death.

This is very much like the Feng Hua Sect.

Xie Weixing retorted unreasonably, "Your dragon clan is so powerful and wealthy, who can say for sure? What if there really are such bad people? Trying to break us up, crying and wailing, threatening to kill yourself if you dare marry me, what do you say then?"

Tan Suiting paused for a moment, his brows furrowing slightly, his eyelashes lowered, his expression unchanging: "What can I say? Have a safe journey."

Xie Weixing: ?
