Chapter 110: Wish 2

Changyi looked at Ji Yunhe, but she already turned around, waved her hand and walked away.

"I have to rush to the next gate to lay down a foundation for the boundary there. I'm going." The sunlight sprinkled down, casting a golden tint across Ji Yunhe's fading back.

"Your Highness?" Qu Xiaoxing waited until Ji Yunhe was no longer visible before asking.

"Shall we go back?"

"I almost said yes." Changyi was still looking in the direction where she had left.

"Almost..."

He lowered his head and looked at the frost covering his fingers, nearly sealing them. He curled them into a fist and the frost shattered, falling to the ground like snowflakes. Changyi said, "Let's go."

...

"Ten days." Kongming gathered the silver needles back into his satchel.

Of course Changyi knew what he was talking about. His body would completely freeze into ice in ten days. The bit of temptation he had on the way back was immediately snuffed out.

Marriage, whether for a demon or a human, was a major life event. If not for these unexpected misfortunes, he would be preparing for it right now. He had marked Ji Yunhe, and kissed her...

Thinking about the few rare and precious moments, Changyi suddenly felt his increasingly cold body warm up a bit.

Looking at Changyi, Kongming did not sneer or tease him. He just casually asked, "What are you thinking about?"

"Ji Yunhe," Changyi said honestly.

"Think about her some more, it's good for your health," Kongming said.

"Your face turned a little rosy just now." Changyi cleared his throat.

"Today, before coming back, Yunhe asked me to marry her."

Kongming stopped. "Right now?"

"She said after everything's over."

"You can't wait til then, do it now," Kongming said.

"Setting up the boundary cannot stop, but we can get her to take half a day off and come back. Do it quickly and get it checked off of your bucket list." He paused then continued, "Time waits for no one. If you miss it now, you may never get another chance.

" What he said clearly showed regret over his own affairs.

Changyi was not good at comforting people, so he silently handed Kongming a cup of tea. Kongming refused the tea and looked at him.

"You look like you don't want to get married?"

"I don't want to delay her."

"You two wasted so many years already, stop being so wishy-washy." Kongming got up and walked out.

"If it were Ji Yunhe running out of time, would you marry her? Would you feel like she's delaying you?"

Changyi froze. He stood up and was about to speak when Ji Yunhe stepped through the door pulled open by Kongming.

She said to the monk, "I knew you'd be a great help." Ji Yunhe patted him on the shoulder.

"If you run into issues with Luo Jinsang in the future, I will help you talk to her." Kongming threw her a glimpse.

"I didn't do this for you." Then he went out the door and closed it behind him.\n\n Ji Yunhe looked at the closed door with a smile, then turned to face Changyi.

"Big-tailed fish, I died once before, so I know the regret felt at the last moment. Don't blame me for using some tactics. I really don't want to keep wasting our time together," Ji Yunhe said.

"I want to marry you not for a title, but for an identity. This identity might not be important now, because what is important to me right now is you. but Changyi..." She paused, her lips still a casual smile.

"In the days without you, this identity will be very important to me."

In the days without him, she would take on his surname and capture his presence into her life and soul.

"This is not delaying me," she said. "This is fulfilling a wish."
