Capítulo 3: Chapter 3: Fairy's Defenses Crumble
--
Su Youruo's lips twitched!
With sharp eyes, Li Daoxuan almost burst out laughing. Hmph! I'll expose your pretense as a fairy, your aloof facade, your composed demeanor...
Even if you're a True Immortal, I can still break through your defenses.
"Young master, the porridge is here!"
Just as Su Youruo felt embarrassed and unsure of what to do, Xiao Man finally arrived, secretly relieving Su Youruo.
"Bring it here, give it to me!" Instead of getting up as he intended, Li Daoxuan sat back down, clearly wanting to tease the cold, aloof fairy on the bed.
Taking the bowl of Eight Treasure Lotus Seed Porridge, Li Daoxuan put on an air of righteousness and scooped up a spoonful.
"Here, let me feed you."
Su Youruo felt awkward and uncertain. In her memory, no one had ever fed her like this before. It felt somewhat strange.
"Your injuries are severe. Don't move around in the next few days to avoid reopening the wounds."
Xiao Man, Xiao Yu, Su Youruo: "..."
This time, Xiao Man and Xiao Yu were also dumbfounded. The two young girls felt a bit resentful—wasn't this all done for the young master's sake?
Su Youruo's face turned red. No matter how strong her inner self was, no matter what she had experienced, her heart couldn't remain calm and collected at this moment.
"Don't you like it?"
Su Youruo: "..."
"Come on, take another big bite."
"Yes! Exactly! When you're ill, you must replenish your nutrition so that your body can recover quickly."
Unable to watch Xiao Man and Xiao Yu being teased, the two girls exchanged glances, silently agreeing, and left together.
And so, the days passed by, peaceful yet warm.
Li Daoxuan occasionally engaged in cultivation for a while, and during his leisure time, he would tease Su Youruo. As for the matter of marriage and children, it remained on the agenda.
One day, Xiao Man brought a flamboyantly dressed lady. Before Xiao Man could speak, the lady took the initiative:
"Sir, you wish to marry, correct?"
"Indeed."
"Could you share your requirements?"
Li Daoxuan pondered briefly and replied, "The requirements are simple. Firstly, she must be beautiful; secondly, she must have a good figure; thirdly, she must be knowledgeable and capable of managing a household; fourthly, it would be best if she is a cultivator; fifthly, she should..."
The matchmaker's face turned green, and she interrupted, "Are you sure you want to get married?"
"With such perfection, why would I need you? Bah! Trying to humor me by finding a wife."
The matchmaker promptly turned and departed without any further ado.
On the side, Xiao Man struggled to contain her laughter. Li Daoxuan asked in puzzlement, "Are my requirements too high?"
"Haha! They're not just high, they're excessively high."
Heavenly River City was but a small city. Where could he find such a perfect woman? However, Li Daoxuan was adamant.
"System, can I marry an ordinary woman?"
[You can, but it won't activate the system.]
And so, the matter of marriage and children was put on hold.
Under Li Daoxuan's meticulous care, Su Youruo's external injuries healed, and she could walk normally once more.
What made Li Daoxuan most proud was:
The aloof fairy who once disregarded mortal affairs had finally been drawn down to the mortal world by him.
Under his influence, Su Youruo's personality had undergone a significant change. At least she wasn't as cold as before.
No longer was she unapproachable and lifeless. Sometimes, one could see her enchanting smile.
Sometimes, she would jest and play around with Li Daoxuan and Xiao Man.
On this sunny day, with flowers in full bloom, Li Daoxuan leisurely reclined on a rocking chair, basking in the sunlight.
A stunning figure approached him, her steps heavy.
Li Daoxuan knew who it was without opening his eyes.
"You're here! Sit."
"Thank you!"
"Thank you for looking after me all this time!"
Li Daoxuan squinted, then closed his eyes again, teasingly saying, "Oh! So you're being polite now?"
"Why are you thanking me? As long as you stop secretly planning to hit me, I'll be thankful."
"Puchi!"
With this laughter, the flowers seemed to lose their color, outshone by the vibrant garden. People were no match for the flowers' beauty!
Li Daoxuan happened to witness this scene and fell into a moment of reflection.
"Hey! Li Daoxuan, snap out of it!"
Li Daoxuan felt no embarrassment and grinned, "Xiao Su, you look truly stunning when you smile! Smile more often!"
"What do you mean, Li Daoxuan? Are you implying I'm not beautiful otherwise?"
"And furthermore! What did you mean just now? When did I ever want to hit you with a stick?"
"Cough cough! I heard you always wanted to beat me up!"
True to form, Li Daoxuan would go to great lengths to tease Su Youruo, often leaving her speechless.
Su Youruo felt a bit embarrassed and said, "Thank you! Honestly, sometimes I genuinely feel like hitting you with a stick."
"But I know you're doing all this to make me happy!"
Li Daoxuan spoke seriously, "Sigh! Based on your current condition, you must have moved on, right? You no longer consider ending your life, do you?"
Su Youruo rolled her eyes and said defiantly, "Hmph! I'm not that fragile."
"I never once contemplated ending my life, and I still wish to..."
Her words abruptly halted, nearly revealing too much.
Su Youruo glared at Li Daoxuan, her mood suddenly dropping.
Li Daoxuan's tone turned grave, "Are you contemplating departure? Are you here to bid me farewell?"
In truth, Li Daoxuan had anticipated this day for some time. Su Youruo didn't belong here; she bore too heavy a burden.
Su Youruo avoided eye contact, weakly stating, "I...I..."
Originally intending to leave without a word, she couldn't bring herself to do so. She had spent several months here, living happily.
But hatred filled her gaze and vengeance consumed her thoughts. She yearned to reclaim all she had lost.
"I'm leaving."
"I have a path of my own to follow, and I won't endanger you."
Su Youruo produced a backpack from somewhere, slung it over her shoulder, then abruptly rose and turned to depart.
"Youruo! Can you stay? Can you stay for me?"
Li Daoxuan's voice was firm and earnest, "I understand your deep enmity. I know you're not an ordinary person, and I know your enemy is formidable."
"But none of that matters to me!"
"Stay! Let's face it together!"
"Youruo!"
"Marry me! I'll marry you!"
Su Youruo trembled, tears streaming down her pale cheeks.
But Su Youruo remained silent. Her heart was in turmoil, torn over what decision to make.
At that moment, Xiao Man and Xiao Yu materialized out of thin air. The two girls stood behind Li Daoxuan, clutching their small fists.
"Sister Su, please stay. We can't bear to see you leave."
Su Youruo trembled once more, eventually steeling herself and opting to stay.
How could she leave amidst such an atmosphere?
Li Daoxuan took several strides forward, turned Su Youruo's body around, and then...held her tightly in his embrace.
Xiao Man and Xiao Yu leaped in excitement, cheering, "Yay...Sister Su finally decided to stay, that's wonderful!"
Li Daoxuan had been concerned about finding a wife and starting a family, and now the perfect candidate stood before him.
How could he allow her to slip away?
Li Daoxuan and Su Youruo had only known each other for a few months, yet emotions are complex and difficult to elucidate.
In truth, Li Daoxuan didn't comprehend Su Youruo's thoughts either, so he could only take a chance and attempt to find out.
Xiao Man and Xiao Yu were remarkably perceptive. With the matter resolved, they vanished mysteriously, affording the two ample space.
"You're still refusing to let go?"
Su Youruo finally spoke up when Li Daoxuan showed no inclination to relent.
"I
won't let go! I can't bear to let go! I fear you'll vanish as soon as I release you," Li Daoxuan persisted stubbornly.
"Let go! Must I remain if I don't depart?"
"Really?"
Su Youruo: "..."
