Xi Meili's Decision

After realizing that Xi Meili had passed out while standing, Xi Shengmo quickly carried her to the bed.

"To think she'd lose consciousness from this… Where did all that effort she put into mental training go?" Xi Mingze was truly speechless.

Xi Shengmo merely shook his head in silence.

While she was asleep for the next several minutes, Xi Meili had a dream about the moment she asked Yuan if he was willing to marry her at the restaurant.

"Sorry, but I cannot be with you, since I already have a partner." Yuan said to her with a regretful-look on his face.

"W-What? Who?!"

"She's a Divine Beast just like you. In fact, you've already met her— the Divine Serpent that came to this place with me."

"N-No way…" Xi Meili mumbled as tears flowed from her eyes.

It was at this moment Xi Meili woke up from her dream to find herself sleeping on the bed beside her mother.
