Maybe My Soulmate! (GL)

Chapter 117: Chapter 117 - "Are they a couple now???" - "Su Yubing's affirmation!!" - "The Trials Of The Forebears (part 25) - Water Elemental Territory (part 18)

Thinking about all the dark turns in her life, Su Yubing suddenly felt a little suffocated and couldn't help but feel her breathing stagnant as the corner of her eyes turned red slightly as if tears would fall from them in the second.

She subconsciously tried to conceal her emotional ups and downs before Mo Yuxin noticed them but how could Mo Yuxin not notice her complex emotions as well as the sudden burst of sadness from her heart which made even Mo Yuxin affected.

Before Su Yubing could even calm her emotions, She was suddenly pulled into a warm yet extremely familiar embrace as a slender and white jade like hand quitely wiped a single drop of tear from the corner of her eyes which seemed to have escaped from her control. Su Yubing couldn't help but feel warm in her heart as her chocked voice escaped her mouth,

"I-I.. ummm... It's....

But before she could say anything further a slender yet cold finger blocked her mouth from opening as a clear and soft voice reached her ears,

"Shhh....

It's okay. I know." All that was said were these few words but that was enough to convey a mountain of emotions between these two women.

Su Yubing felt warmth overflowing her heart as the heavy and complex emotions completely disappeared from Su Yubing's heart and a single audible hum reached Mo Yuxin's ears and she felt the immeasurable dependence and love contained in it which made her extremely happy.

At this time Su Yubing suddenly couldn't help think again in her heart that it was truly wonderful as to how much has happened in this short period of time.

From knowing Mo Yuxin to acquiring her heavenly constitution to sharing their feelings with each other to such an exaggerated journey. Everything about this time in her life would be remembered by her for as long as she lives.

She also couldn't help but think, what would happen when she introduces Mo Yuxin to her family. Would they be shocked or oppose us?

But thinking of her doting parents, they would probably agree to anything she says as long as it doesn't hurt her.

Thinking of her beautiful mother and her strict on the outside but shy on the inside father, Su Yubing couldn't help but laugh a little suddenly and Mo Yuxin looked at her sudden laughter in confusion but couldn't help but be happy that she wasn't getting influenced by negative emotions anymore.

She suddenly leaned towards Su Yubing and asked in a low and suppressed voice,

"What happened? You are laughing suddenly?"

Hearing her question, Su Yubing looked towards Mo Yuxin and said with a warm voice,

"Umm.. it's nothing. I was just thinking about my parents. I was thinking what they would feel when I introduce you to them after we return from the trials."

Suddenly hearing Su Yubing mention her parents as well as her intention to introduce herself to her parents, Mo Yuxin couldn't help but feel nervous all of a sudden as her hand holding Su Yubing's couldn't help but tighten unconsciously and she couldn't help but say,

"I-Is it okay?? Would they hate me when they see me? I am a woman after all....."

Hearing her words as well as her nervous look in her eyes as she clutched the corner of her clothes with her other hand, Su Yubing couldn't help but find her extremely cute as she truly looked like a large fluffy dog waiting for it's owner with its big eyes.

She suddenly let out a low laughter and said with an obvious smile in her eyes,

"It's okay. Cultivators don't care about the gender of a person as long as it's the person they like.

My mother and father have seen the larger world in their times of travelling and they even have quite a few friends who are a couple like us." Su Yubing explained to Mo Yuxin in simple words but what caught Mo Yuxin's attention the most was the last of her words, 'Couple like us!!'.

Her mind felt like it was buzzing from inside out as the world around her seemed to have turned into a soft mushroom of clouds as she felt as if her soul itself was soaking in a pot of honey and she couldn't help but ask Su Yubing again in a trembling voice,

"W-what did you just say??"

Mo Yuxin's suddenly grabbed Su Yubing's waist and pulled her closer towards her as her hot breath sprayed on the side of Su Yubing's face making her feel particularly embarrassed and shy.

Looking at Mo Yuxin's suddenly reaction, Su Yubing was a little confused for a few moments before her clear words started ringing in her mind as she realized suddenly what the source of Mo Yuxin's reaction was.

Thinking of the words she said as a matter of course, Su Yubing felt extremely shy as if she would bury herself in a hole if she found one right at this instance.

Su Yubing who was known as the flower of Azure Dragon City, had porcelain white cheeks that seemed to be stained with a very rich red paint, from the sides to the tip of her nose, even the corners of her eyes were not spared.

"W-why?"

Because of shyness, her voice was almost inaudible but Mo Yuxin who always kept almost all her attention on her and even always noticed the miniscule differences in her actions clearly noticed her shy voice.

But to Mo Yuxin, her soft and shy voice felt like a kitten's soft paw scratching against her heart making her feel itchy all over as her hand on Su Yubing's waist couldn't help but become a little more bold and started exploring the unknown white and soft territory almost subconsciously as Mo Yuxin leaned in Su Yubing's ears and said in a hoarse voice as if she was restricting a violent storm behind her voice,

"Yubing.... Did you just admit to us being a couple??" Mo Yuxin's gaze was dark and her eyes seemed like a calm and treacherous sea surface hiding unfathomable waves of storms and she didn't let Su Yubing off so easily as such a chance when Su Yubing expresses her feelings to her clearly in words is hard to come by.

Su Yubing herself as embarrassed as she could be as the feeling of her cold hands exploring on her waist almost made her moan in comfort and she immediately lowered her head and buried them in Mo Yuxin's neck like a little rabbit burrowing itself in it's most comfortable territory.

Of course Mo Yuxin saw how shy she was as she felt that if Su Yubing had rabbit tail or ears, they would probably droop down with shyness.

Feeling that she was too shy, Mo Yuxin suppressed her overflowing desires and calmed herself down before she was about to change the subject, least Su Yubing becomes angry.

But before before Mo Yuxin could open her mouth to say something, Su Yubing's muffled voice floated into her ears,

"A-aren't w-we a couple??"

Hearing her voice and the contents of it, Mo Yuxin suddenly felt as if she was dreaming and an immeasurable warmth flooded her heart making her almost drown in them as she said in an extremely gentle tone,

"Yes. Yes. We are a couple because I really really love you Su Yubing."

Mo Yuxin has always been extremely straight forward with expressing her feelings to Su Yubing but before this day, although she felt that they have both established a relationship of lovers but because Su Yubing herself didn't say anything to her in words, Mo Yuxin couldn't help but be a little anxious and unsure in her heart.

Of course, Mo Yuxin knew the internal struggles in Su Yubing's heart. Her complex emotions were also the reason she couldn't completely express her love to her openly. She knew that these were the knots in Su Yubing's heart and it would probably take quite some time to resolve them.

And Mo Yuxin was ready to wait as long as it took and she also wasn't too anxious as although Su Yubing never expressed her feelings to her openly but she always expressed her deepest feeling in her heart by her actions and silently accepted all her heart.

But now that Su Yubing accepted her heart and herself with her own words, Mo Yuxin couldn't help but feel extremely happy as the slight insecurities in the depths of her soul disappeared with just a few affirmative words from her.

Hearing Mo Yuxin's heartfelt and straightforward expression of Love, Su Yubing couldn't help but become even more shy as her face almost flushed with a pink blush but the next moment, a very familiar mechanical voice resounded throughout the water elemental territory which captured the attention of both of them,

"Congratulations to the two inheritors for completing the trial 'water elemental territory' as well as for completing the second condition in such a short amount of time which is simply unprecedented.

Because such a scenario has been deemed impossible by the creators, as the guardian spirit of the trials, I had to look through all the clues to..
