"Wash your hands!" Just as she was about to touch the piece of meat she had her eye on, a loud reprimand came from behind her.
Ziyan quickly retracted her hand, turned around, and glared at the Demon Prince with her big, sparkling eyes, clearly displeased.
Just as Ziyan pouted and innocently bit her lip, she saw the Prince rushing towards her.
Before Ziyan could resist, she was captured by him and roughly pulled to the wash basin. He grabbed a face towel, soaked it in water, wrung it out slightly, and began to wipe her small face.
The attentive prince not only washed Ziyan's face but also cleaned her hands thoroughly before finally letting go.
In an instant, the girl who had just been frowning and biting her lip now looked at him with affectionate eyes and a beaming smile.
"Alright, go eat!" The Demon Prince, having finished his task, spoke gently with a warm smile as he instructed his Beloved Child.
"Okay! You hurry up too," Ziyan replied obediently before returning to the table to sit quietly, waiting for him to finish so they could have dinner together.
Next, the two sat at the table feeding each other bites of food. They shared dishes back and forth in a harmonious atmosphere filled with love and warmth.
The originally cold room became much warmer due to three large fire pits quietly burning in the corner.
The pair inside the room, perhaps due to the warmth of the fire or their own shyness, both showed a hint of blush on their faces. The scene was quite intimate!
"Are you not going to take me back to the Yard?" Ziyan asked hesitantly while blinking her eyes at the nearby Demon Prince.
"Uh? No need. You will stay here with me tonight," the Demon Prince replied without hesitation.
"But my sister—" Ziyan started to say that her sister might feel lonely or uncomfortable alone.
However, she was interrupted by the Demon Prince, "Your sister understands everything, and there are many people taking care of her. You don’t need to worry."
At this point, a mysterious and strange smile appeared on the Demon Prince's face as he continued, "If I'm not mistaken, your sister's most loyal bodyguard—Wu San is already on his way there."
"Uh? You—how did you know this?" Upon hearing this, Ziyan was taken aback and looked at him in surprise.
"Tch! Nonsense. Do you think your Future Husband is really that clueless?" Ling Yuxuan retorted sarcastically.
"Oh, you don't think I'm a fool, do you? Well! I underestimated Future Husband's abilities," Ziyan said with a pout.
"Hehehe—Alright, Future Wife, let's rest! Tonight, This King will keep you company and hold you tight for a good night's sleep." Ling Yuxuan laughed mischievously as he stepped forward, picked up his beloved girl, and placed her on the bed. He helped her out of her clothes, covered her with a blanket, and then proceeded to undress himself. After everything was settled, he slipped under the covers and quietly held her, ready to drift into sweet dreams together.
Thus, the busy couple who had been running around all day lay in bed, nestled against each other.
"Do you think Wu San and my sister are really together?" Ziyan had intended to close her eyes and sleep well. However, as soon as she shut them, the scene from yesterday afternoon of her sister playfully teasing Wu San flashed in her mind.
"What do you think?" Ling Yuxuan shot a glance at his incredulous partner.
"Uh? Wasn't I asking you?" Ziyan replied in surprise and grievance.
"Fool, isn't Wu San good?" Ling Yuxuan suddenly smiled lightly and countered.
"I didn't say he was bad; it's just that Wu San, hmm! How should I put it? I just have this strange feeling inside," Ziyan honestly didn't know what to say.
"It's just that he's a Death Warrior who has signed a death contract, right?" Ling Yuxuan noticed Ziyan's doubts and thought to himself that if she wouldn't say it, he would voice it for her.
"Uh? Yeah—" Ziyan answered hesitantly and casually.
"So what if that's the case? As long as they truly love each other, we can give him his freedom back and return his Contract," Ling Yuxuan casually dismissed Ziyan's worries.
Listening to her Demon Prince's suggestion, Ziyan remained silent, feeling inexplicably anxious.
Suddenly, she had an idea. "No! I won't return the contract to him for now; I want to see how much he truly loves my sister!"
"What do you plan to do?" Ling Yuxuan furrowed his brows. He knew very well that this little girl would never let her family suffer losses. Suddenly, he felt a cold sweat for Wu San.
"What can I do? Naturally, I'm a bit cautious after being bitten by a snake once; I'm wary of ropes for ten years. I'm worried that this Wu San is too clever, while my sister—can't you see? She's carefree. Not just thick-headed but even thicker-headed! I'm just concerned that he might be scheming against her," Ziyan paused as she entered deep thought.
After a long silence between them, it was still Ling Yuxuan who spoke first: "So—what's your plan?"
"It's simple. If they truly love each other, that's fine; I'll arrange a unique and extravagant wedding for them. But first, I need to send someone to Hengfeng County Town to seek my mother's opinion. If she thinks it's feasible, we'll go ahead with the arrangements."
As she spoke, Ziyan gently cleared her throat and continued, "However, I still have to keep his life-and-death contract for him for another ten or twenty years. If he continues to love my sister as he does now, then at that time, I will return the contract to him. What do you think?"
If it were someone else, they would likely be astonished by Ziyan's decision and her meticulous thoughts. Even those who are used to being kind-hearted like Dong Guo might consider her a bit too cruel.
However, Ling Yuxuan did not find anything wrong with the decision made by his beloved child because he understood her very well. Having experienced so much abandonment in her past life, she naturally became a bit more sensitive and often harbored doubts about everything; in fact, she was not wrong.
Having gone through such a painful and distressing life filled with extraordinary events, it was no wonder that even family members could not recognize each other openly.
Is it unreasonable for someone to live their life without seeking to harm others? Is it wrong to have a sense of caution?
The answer is: definitely not.
Therefore, Ling Yuxuan wholeheartedly agreed with his beloved child's cautious decision and thought. As the saying goes: one should not harbor malicious intentions but must remain vigilant against others!
Thinking of this, Demon Prince Ling Yuxuan immediately nodded without hesitation, "Yes, what my future wife said makes perfect sense. Then let everything be arranged as you wish. Alright, we’ve both had a tiring day; we can handle this tomorrow without any rush. Right now, let's get a good night's sleep." "Mm!" Ziyan nodded and slowly closed her eyes again.
As this young couple nestled closely together and fell into a deep sleep, outside the house, the first snow of winter began to fall softly. The snowflakes grew larger and soon filled the sky, occasionally small flakes hitting the window panes and quickly melting away.
While those inside slept soundly and deeply, the world outside transformed into a white wonderland as the snow continued to fall heavily, making everything around them brighter and whiter.
This scene continued until dawn the next day when Ziyan turned slightly in her sleep and instinctively reached out beside her.
Feeling that she was alone in bed, she opened her eyes and was immediately dazzled by a bright light that forced her to squint again.
When she opened her eyes once more, she realized that both inside and outside the room seemed exceptionally bright.
The pure white light suggested that sunlight was streaming in with a hint of orange-yellow.
Ziyan felt as if she were seeing things and quickly shook her head. When she looked outside again, she suddenly understood: it must be snowing.
Snowing? Surprisingly, Chu County hadn't seen snow in many years; as the saying goes, "A timely snow promises a good harvest!" It seemed that next year would surely bring greater abundance. With this thought in mind, she imagined the beautiful scene outside now covered in a blanket of white.
Ziyan immediately got out of bed and discovered that someone had already prepared a complete set of thick skirts and robes for her on the dresser in front of the bed.
Ziyan felt a warmth in her heart as she quickly finished dressing and grooming herself. Finally, she threw on her cloak and rushed out of the house into the corridor, only to hear a series of "whoosh, whoosh" sounds coming from the rooftop, resembling the sound of sword blades cutting through the air. Could it be that he was practicing swordplay on the rooftop?
Without hesitation, Ziyan dashed up to the rooftop like a gust of wind. As she expected, her Demon Prince was indeed practicing his swordsmanship seriously amidst the falling snow.
Dressed in white, with snowflakes swirling around him, the long sword glinted with a bright cold light as it followed the movements of his fingers.
The scene was truly enchanting.
In a moment of inspiration, Ziyan called out with a voice as clear and bright as a silver bell, "Someone, bring my sword to me!"
There was no response at first, but after a brief moment, hurried footsteps echoed. Two guards appeared on the rooftop, having come up from below.
They were holding Ziyan's treasured sword. Without further pleasantries, she removed her cloak and directly took her Black Iron Sword from one of the guards before leaping into action.
With her pale yellow attire and sword in hand, Ziyan charged straight at the white-clad Demon Prince.
"Don't hold back; let's have a fair match," she said firmly, her gaze unwavering and showing no hint of fear.
"Alright, then I will take this seriously!" The Demon Prince, Ling Yuxuan, nodded calmly before launching an attack towards Ziyan.
In an instant, the two were engaged in an intense duel, neither willing to give an inch.
