Immortality? Nah, I choose to marry instead!

Chapter 32: A secret plan

Chapter 32: A secret plan

Quanzhi's heart was half-full with sweetness and half-full with affection.

A scholar dies for a confidant; likewise, a one-sided lover dies of happiness when their feelings are being answered.

The red clouds over her cheeks were proof of how happy she was.

"Shenshah, are you speaking ttt-truth?"

With some nervousness, she completed her sentence.

A little bit of hesitation was expected as I was pushing her in one go.

"BeBecause if I wake up tomorrow and you say that you don't want me anymore or you changed your mind, then.."

"...then my heart won't be able to take it and will break forever."

Shenshah had already answered her feelings, now she knew it was her time to confide in him.

But before that ..she, for one last time, still needed to hear if this was all a reality.

Looking at her scintillating eyes containing so many emotions, I gently held her shoulders.

"Quanzhi, me , you, this moment right here between us is as real as the air we are breathing."

"I am running out of time, I know you still may feel conflicted whether to stay in the sect or to follow me."

"When you look back in the future, I don't want you to regret and think you made today's choice in a hurry. Therefore, I won't force you to come with me."

"I may not be able to provide you with an outstanding future this sect can offer, I may even end up having lots of people who share a part of my heart. But the only thing you ought to know is that as long as you choose me, I will do my best so we can live happily. Together, we shall build a big family of our own and step up to the heights that we had always imagined."

Whatever needed to be spoken was already spoken.

Now, it was time to give Quanzhi some time.

A buffer time where she can figure out everything and will leave this sect behind for me.

Such things must never be forced.

Whenever feelings of heart are being involved it's better to give everyone involved their individual space.

Hearing my words, Quanzhi's eyes stagnated.

Yes, following Shenshah meant abandoning all the spirit stones she regularly gets, abandoning the chance to be soon promoted to the inner sect and forswearing all the opportunities this top sect can provide to her.

One must know her situation was much different from Xenia, who due to her grave injuries had long become a liability for the sect.

Unlike Xenia, with each passing day, Quanzhi's talent was blooming more and more.

She was a very promising disciple, who was just a step away from building her foundation.

Given her aptitude, just some years more and even surpassing the transformation stage was a sure thing for her.

She took a deep breath,

"Shenshah, do you think I am the type of woman who will care about all these things?"

"I am not like that holy maiden of the inner sect or top 4 famous beauties of our sect that care about these materialistic stuff."

"I, Quanzhi may be a little timid and afraid to say what is in my mind but the only thing I believe in is.What I feel in my heart!"

"From the very first time I had feelings for you, I had long decided to follow you."

"The reason for that hesitation you can see on my face is completely different."

"Oh! Then, What's the reason then that's still holding you to come home with me."

Suddenly Quanzhi became a little vigilant, she carefully looked to the left and right to make double-sure there was no one around.

Earlier traces of being emotionally vulnerable disappeared although as it seemed she was about to share a great secret.

Under my puzzled eyes, Quanzhi moved closer to me, putting her soft hands on either side of my left ear; she slowly whispered the secret that was holding her to go with me.

At first, I thought it was not something significant but the more I heard her..the more the minutes kept passing with her sweet voice, the more my pupils kept dilating.

After she spoke everything, the fact that she held Shenshah so intimately just a second ago made her blush even harder.

"This is great!"

"But the thing you are doing is very dangerous."

I would lie if I say I was not worried about hearing her shrewd plan.

"Don't worry, I will do it only when I am fully prepared."

In excitement, Quanzhi made a fist as she tried to reassure me.

"Okay, I have to leave now"

"You already know where I live."

"Since you said it will take 15 days, I will try to prepare everything till then."

Knowing it was time to leave, we both got up.

Her eyes were still full of yearning but she knew she must wait.

To give her a cherishing memory, while she was still absent-mindedly admiring me, I quickly gave her a short peck before going out.

The touch on her lips was a momentarily feeling, by the time Quanzhi realised what had happened, Shenshah had already gone out.

Outside the cave, Shao was eagerly waiting for me.

I don't know if it's my illusion, her eyes looking at me seemed to be a bit weird.
