We Agreed On Experiencing Life, So Why Did You Immortals Become Real? Chapter 364: I Want to Look at the Plum Blossoms a Bit More

"Stare..."

Looking at his fiancée's dark gaze, Xiao Mo smiled and explained, "Miss Lian Li travels the world. She probably just happened to arrive in Qin Kingdom."

"Oh." Qin Siyao responded.

"However, Miss Lian's martial path truly has limitless prospects, and she's also formidable in military campaigns. If Miss Lian enters our Qin Kingdom, she will definitely make many contributions to our nation."

"Just contributions to Qin Kingdom?" Qin Siyao huffed.

"Of course." Xiao Mo smiled, finding Siyao's jealous appearance somewhat adorable, "Don't overthink it. Miss Lian Li and I are merely friends."

"Hmph!" Qin Siyao turned her head away, her small hands continuously rubbing together in front of her as she muttered softly, "I'm not overthinking anything..."

"Then I'll have someone tell Miss Lian that I'm not home and she should go directly to the Ministry of War." Xiao Mo said with a smile.

"No need..." Qin Siyao turned around, lowering her head, "You... you can just meet her. I'm not the jealous type. What reason would you have not to meet her?"

"Of... of course it's true..." Qin Siyao nodded, "I... I'll go back first..."

With those words, Qin Siyao ran out, returned to her own courtyard, then secretly crouched by the wall, eavesdropping with her divine consciousness.

"This girl."

Xiao Mo knew Siyao was definitely eavesdropping with her divine consciousness, but Xiao Mo didn't mind and didn't set up any formation to block divine consciousness detection.

"Please invite Miss Lian in." Xiao Mo said to the maid.

"Yes, Your Highness."

The maid bowed and withdrew.

Before long, Lian Li walked into Xiao Mo's courtyard.

Looking at this woman who had become acquainted with him through combat, Xiao Mo indeed felt like he was seeing an old friend.

At this time, she was dressed like a wandering heroine of the martial world, possessing that unrestrained temperament, the dignity of someone who had been a general for many years, and also some measure of refinement from a great family.

"This humble woman Lian Li pays respects to the Frost Prince." Lian Li cupped her fists in salute to Xiao Mo.

"Miss Lian need not be so formal. It has indeed been quite a while since we last met." Xiao Mo gestured for her to rise and asked curiously, "Does Miss Lian wish to become a guest minister of our Qin Kingdom?"

"What, is that not acceptable?" Lian Li said with a smile, "Could it be that the Frost Prince looks down on this humble woman?"

"Of course not." Xiao Mo poured a cup of tea for Lian Li, "If Qin Kingdom could gain Miss Lian's assistance, it would naturally be our nation's fortune. I'm just somewhat surprised."

Lian Li shook her head, a trace of sorrow in her eyes.

"These past days, I've traveled among the various nations, watching the common people, watching the nations wage war, and I've had many thoughts.

I wanted to try helping others, but what good is helping one person, ten people, a hundred people?

Now the various nations wage endless war, the fighting never stops, everything is futile.

Not long ago, I heard my uncle had surrendered to Qin Kingdom and serves under the Frost Prince.

So I came to the Qin capital, wanting to catch up with my uncle.

Chatting and chatting, my uncle said the Frost Prince has the ambition to bring peace to the world and also the ability to bring peace to the world.

And at this time, Qin Kingdom widely accepts talented people from across the land.

My uncle urged me to remain in Qin.

After thinking for several days, I wanted to come visit the Frost Prince, to presume to seek a position as guest minister, to assist the Frost Prince, and also to repay past kindness."

"Miss Lian is too modest. If you don't mind, you could first serve as my vice general and remain in the capital. Afterwards, based on the military merits you achieve, I will grant you an official position. How does that sound?" Xiao Mo asked.

"As it should be. Many thanks to the Frost Prince." Lian Li bowed in gratitude.

"By the way, I've heard the Frost Prince is getting married." Lian Li took out a jade pendant from her storage bag, "This humble woman has nothing much to give. This jade pendant is called the Marriage Pendant. I carved it with my own hands. It's not any precious item, but I wish the Frost Prince and Princess a harmonious union for a hundred years and to grow old together with white hair."

Xiao Mo accepted the jade pendant, "I thank you on Siyao's behalf."

"Then this humble woman will take her leave first and not disturb the Frost Prince further."

"Miss, take care." Xiao Mo bowed in farewell.

Lian Li cupped her fists in salute, her eyes gazing deeply at Xiao Mo for a moment, then turned and left.

Half an incense stick's worth of time after Lian Li left the Xiao Manor, only then did Qin Siyao come to Xiao Mo's courtyard.

Compared to her earlier jealousy, Qin Siyao's expression now looked much more relaxed.

"Miss Lian has left?" Qin Siyao asked.

"She's left." Xiao Mo smiled and took out the jade pendant, "This jade pendant is a congratulatory gift Miss Lian made with her own hands. It's a Marriage Pendant. The man and woman each wear one half, and when combined, they form a complete piece."

"This jade pendant is so beautifully made. Miss Lian truly has skillful hands and an ingenious mind." Qin Siyao accepted the jade pendant, her fair fingers gently caressing it.

"I told you, Miss Lian and I are just friends, nothing more. Do you believe me now?" Xiao Mo said with a smile.

"I... I never said you two had anything..."

Qin Siyao lowered her head guiltily.

"However, Xiao Mo..." Qin Siyao raised her head, looking seriously into Xiao Mo's eyes, "If you like her, you can also take Miss Lian as a concubine."

"Silly girl, what are you saying?" Xiao Mo lightly tapped the woman's head.

"I'm really not lying this time..." Qin Siyao covered her small head like a squirrel, "As long as you treat me well in the future and don't ignore me, it really doesn't matter if you take concubines."

"You..." Xiao Mo pinched her small face, "Siyao, you said in this life you only like me, right?"

"Yes, yes." Qin Siyao nodded.

"If that's the case." Xiao Mo smiled, "Then why can't I only like you alone in this life?"

"But Xiao Mo..."

Qin Siyao raised her eyes, blinking.

"Even if you like other women, I will still only like you in this life."

"..."

Looking at the woman's clear eyes, Xiao Mo was slightly stunned, his heart feeling as if something soft had gently stirred it.

"Silly girl."

Xiao Mo flicked Qin Siyao's brow and strode out of the courtyard.

"Hey, Xiao Mo, did you hear me or not? I... I gave you a chance. If you miss this village, there won't be this shop." Qin Siyao puffed out her cheeks and called out to Xiao Mo, "If you don't agree today, I won't let you marry other girls in the future."

"No need." Xiao Mo waved his hand.

"You..."

Hearing Xiao Mo's answer, Qin Siyao felt a bit dejected. She had finally worked up the determination to say these words...

But... Xiao Mo's answer was like peach blossom pastry, making Qin Siyao feel sweet and soft inside.

"What are you standing there for? Are you coming or not? The plum blossoms in Pure Fragrance Garden have bloomed. Didn't you want to go see them with me yesterday?" Xiao Mo turned around and said.

"Coming, coming..."

Qin Siyao put away the jade pendant and trotted after him, walking beside Xiao Mo.

Walking on the stone path of Pure Fragrance Garden.

Qin Siyao's mood was as light as the snowflakes drifting down from the sky.

She would look at the plum blossoms around them at times, and at the man beside her at other times but after a while, Qin Siyao's gaze focused once more on Xiao Mo's large hands.

A small thought slowly emerged in the woman's heart and this thought grew larger and larger, gradually occupying the woman's entire mind.

"Should be okay, right?"

"This shouldn't count as lacking modesty, right?"

"We're getting married the year after next anyway."

"Xiao Mo shouldn't think I'm a frivolous woman, right?"

Qin Siyao's heartbeat grew faster and faster. Her gaze looked at Xiao Mo's palm even more frequently, her thoughts twisting like silk threads.

Quietly, Qin Siyao's fair, slender jade fingers secretly reached toward Xiao Mo's palm but every time Qin Siyao was about to touch Xiao Mo's palm, she would draw back again.

Yet before long, Qin Siyao's slender hand would secretly approach Xiao Mo's hand again.

This went back and forth many times. Finally, Qin Siyao seemed to make up her mind, her index finger lightly hooking Xiao Mo's finger then the woman's slender jade fingers slowly buried themselves at Xiao Mo's fingertips.

Finally, the woman's fingers crossed and interlaced with Xiao Mo's, palms pressing together.

Feeling the roughness and warmth of Xiao Mo's palm, Qin Siyao's cheeks grew even redder.

Xiao Mo turned his head to look at the woman beside him.

Qin Siyao lowered her head, the blush on her cheeks having spread to the roots of her ears, like the plum blossoms blooming in the garden.

Xiao Mo's lips curved slightly upward. He acted as if he knew nothing, but his hand slowly tightened its grip on the young girl's soft, boneless small hand.

The force from her beloved's palm made the woman freeze slightly. The woman's head lowered even more, but her body pressed even closer to Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo and Qin Siyao walked step by step through Pure Fragrance Garden.

White snow fell from the sky, slowly covering the footprints the two left behind.

After walking one circuit through Pure Fragrance Garden, Xiao Mo said to Qin Siyao, "These snow plums are indeed quite beautiful, but the snow seems to be getting heavier. Shall we go back?"

"Let's... let's walk a bit more..." Qin Siyao gently shook her head, "I want to look at the plum blossoms a bit more..."

"Then let's walk a bit more." With fingers interlocked with Qin Siyao's, Xiao Mo continued walking on the stone path of Pure Fragrance Garden.

After walking for who knows how long, Xiao Mo asked again, "Shall we go back?"

"A... a bit longer..."

After another incense stick's worth of time, Xiao Mo looked at the woman beside him, "Shall we go back?"

"A... a bit longer..."

Qin Siyao tightly gripped Xiao Mo's palm, feeling the warmth of his hand.

"Just a bit longer..."
