Chapter 724: 724 turned into a little shorty.
However, he soothed himself in his heart, his Little Jiujiu was just young, and now, it was only natural for her to be naive about feelings.
He couldn’t press her too hard, or he would only end up pushing her further away.
He must be patient, for one day, he would gradually occupy her heart, and she would only have eyes, and heart, for him alone.
Thinking this, Sikong Yixiao leaned in close and whispered by Ye Jiu’s ear, “Don’t worry, without your consent, I won’t casually touch anything here.”
“That’s not what I meant…” Ye Jiu explained, “Giving you the Jade Pendant was to make transporting grain more convenient in the future. You can also use everything here freely, it’s okay, this stuff is precious in our world but really amounts to nothing in other worlds.”
What she was reluctant to part with wasn’t the items here, but rather the feeling that her world had suddenly been marked by someone else’s presence, causing some sense of loss.
“I know, Jiujiu, I can give you my everything, including my life. How about I come to propose after the rebellion in Nanchang is quelled?” Sikong Mo asked.
Ye Jiu’s legs went weak at Sikong Mo’s words.
Fortunately, Sikong Mo was holding her; otherwise, she figured she would have made a truly embarrassing scene.
“Did I scare you?” Sikong Mo raised an eyebrow.
“A little.” Ye Jiu didn’t argue.
Between them, it had only been since the last time she kissed him that they occasionally had some intimate little touches, but aside from that, everything was restrained by emotion and rationality.
All of a sudden, he was talking about proposing. What kind of joke was that?
Sikong Mo’s voice now held a hint of cold disappointment, “Unwilling?”
“It’s so sudden, and I’m still so young, not ready yet!” Ye Jiu flushed red.
Sikong Mo’s arms tightened a bit more, as he bent down closer to her, “It doesn’t matter, I’ll wait for you.”
Indeed, it was his own impatience.
But the progress in the capital city had thrown him into disarray.
Considering the situation in the capital city, they would probably take her back soon.
And once Ye Jiu reclaimed her identity as the Commandery Princess of the War Prince Residence, marrying her would become infinitely more difficult for him.
At the very least, the War King would be hard to deal with, and the old Emperor would definitely not agree to the War Prince Residence marrying a Princess or Commandery Princess from the Imperial Family.
Moreover, Ye Jiu was seen by Master Ling Yuan as a person of great fortune; she was indeed extraordinary.
If she were to go to the capital city, her uniqueness would surely astonish everyone even more.
Thinking of her uniqueness, and then of his own identity, marrying her seemed as difficult as reaching the heavens.
Otherwise, Sikong Mo would not have entertained the idea of settling the marriage before she returned.
Because once the status was confirmed, nobody could oppose it.
Unfortunately, Ye Jiu was unaware of Sikong Mo’s thoughts. They also missed the best opportunity to define their relationship.
As a result, their path of love in the future was fraught with many more twists and turns.
As soon as Ye Jiu left the space, she began to guide the Spiritual Energy within her body, converting it all into Inner Strength and storing it in her Dantian.
It was only by dawn that Ye Bai and Ye Hei returned.
Ye Jiu called the two eagles into her room, closed the door, and locked it.
Then, turning to Ye Hei, she asked, “So, can you transform into a human now?”
Before Ye Jiu’s eyes, Ye Hei’s figure slowly began to change, and then, a handsome young man in his twenties appeared before her.
However, just like Ye Bai, Ye Hei also had a tall and mighty stature, even a bit taller than Ye Bai, making Ye Jiu look quite small by comparison.
