Chapter 1196: Chapter 1196: Marry Me
Speaking of which, Teacher Yirou and Mr. Chen Song truly are a match made in heaven.
Yi Rou looked at the rejuvenated Chen Song, her eyes reddening with tears brimming in her eyes.
For them, this relationship was both sweet and torturous, as Chen Song, with his Magic Source destroyed, could not possibly accompany Yi Rou to the end.
Now, the biggest problem they faced has finally been resolved.
Before the Magic Source was destroyed, Chen Song was a High-level Magic Star; now that it has been restored, he remains a High-level Magic Star, with his lifespan extended by eighty years compared to ordinary people.
In eighty years, Chen Song is confident he can upgrade from a High-level Magic Star to a Magic Spirit, further extending his lifespan.
Even if his magic power is temporarily unable to surpass Yi Rou, at least the time he can spend with Yi Rou has increased significantly, and with magical power, he can better take care of Yi Rou.
Seeing the two holding hands and gazing at each other, Qin Sisi knew she was a bit superfluous at that moment. She cleared her throat lightly and said, "Um, you two go ahead and talk; I have some matters to discuss with Teacher Yin Xi, so I’ll take my leave."
With that, she turned and left the basement.
Actually, she wasn’t lying; besides helping Mr. Chen Song restore his Magic Source, she also had something she wanted to ask of Teacher Yin Xi.
Although Chen Song knew he should thank Qin Sisi properly, at that moment, there was indeed much he wanted to say to Yi Rou, and his gratitude to Qin Sisi had to be postponed.
Watching Qin Sisi leave the basement, Chen Song was about to embrace Yi Rou when she suddenly pushed him away and turned as if to leave.
Chen Song hurriedly embraced her from behind, choking out, "Yi Rou, are you still mad at me?"
Yi Rou bit her rosy lips with her white teeth, sobbing softly, then turned around and said resentfully while glaring at Chen Song, "Yes, I blame you. I blame you for being so impulsive back then, making yourself miserable and making me sad for so many years..."
Chen Song clasped Yi Rou’s shoulders earnestly and replied, "Yes, blame me, it’s all my fault, I was wrong. I promise to listen to everything you say from now on and never make you sad again. Will you forgive me?"
Seeing Chen Song’s anxious and longing expression, Yi Rou couldn’t bear it and raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, gently saying, "Fool, I have long forgiven you. Didn’t you know?"
Overjoyed, Chen Song held Yi Rou tightly in his arms.
But Yi Rou pushed Chen Song away once more, speaking solemnly, "But there’s something I must make clear: I can forgive you, but I will not forgive the Phantom Spirit family, and I will not forgive Lian Li. The Mei Lan family and the Phantom Spirit family will always stay out of each other’s affairs. If they cause trouble, I will not let it slide. As for Lian Li, what happened before is in the past, but if you ever have any contact with her again, it’s between you and me, like this stone."
As she spoke, Yi Rou twisted her palm, and a fist-sized stone on the ground was grasped in her hand. She clenched it tightly, and the stone instantly turned to powder.
Chen Song released Yi Rou and solemnly replied, "I will always stand by your side in family disputes. I have wronged you once; if there is a second time, how could I face you? I will end it myself without you having to lift a finger."
Yi Rou slightly raised an eyebrow: "Can you resist the Illusion Techniques of the Phantom Spirit family?"
Chen Song replied nonchalantly, "I have practiced your Heartbreak melody very well."
Yi Rou shook her head, sighing, "It’s a pity that if the opponent’s magic power is much stronger than yours, the Heartbreak melody might not be effective."
Chen Song’s expression tensed, instantly feeling the pressure.
Over the years, he had always stayed by Yi Rou’s side, never stepping out of the Heavenly Magic God’s Castle. He never accompanied Yi Rou when she returned to Miaoyin City during holidays, for fear of another ambush by the Phantom Spirit family.
On the surface, the Heavenly Magic God’s Castle seemed like just a magic school, but inside, it housed top experts like Master Yipiao of the Demon Sacred Realm, and it was strongly supported by the Jiuxi Royal Family. The Phantom Spirit family, no matter how bold, dared not act recklessly at the Heavenly Magic God’s Castle.
"Do you understand what I mean?" Yi Rou gazed into Chen Song’s eyes.
Chen Song nodded, "I understand."
Although he had regained his Magic Source, it was merely a new beginning. Without sufficient magic power, he could neither protect his loved ones nor ensure his safety.
In his heart, nearing sixty, Chen Song felt a surge of youthful fervor. Decades of a semi-reclusive life had worn away much of his ambition, but at this moment, he was more aware than ever that only with sufficient power could he properly safeguard his happiness.
Seeing Chen Song’s earnest and determined expression, Yi Rou secretly swooned. Back then, she was captivated by his righteous and indomitable character.
However, on the surface, she feigned annoyance and said, "That’s more like it."
Chen Song smiled slightly; after being together for so many years, he understood Yi Rou well. When she said this, she was actually expressing her recognition and satisfaction with him.
He extended his arms to embrace Yi Rou, gently kissing her hair at the temples, and whispered, "Yi Rou, will you marry me?"
Yi Rou’s heart raced wildly, avoiding Chen Song’s fiery gaze, uncertain of how to respond. After a moment, she couldn’t help but feel a bit aggrieved, pouting, "You want me to marry, and I just will?"
Previously, she had both openly and subtly hinted at him many times, but he always played dumb, unwilling to approach her. Now wanting to get married, how could it be so easy?
Chen Song chuckled, "You can ask anything of me, and I will do my utmost."
Yi Rou’s eyes turned as she said, "Alright, when you become a Magic God, I’ll marry you."
Chen Song’s face turned crestfallen instantly, "My dear, could you lower the requirement a little, to becoming a Magic Spirit?"
Yi Rou raised her chin proudly, "No way, I’m already a Magic God now. You need to be at least about the same level, right? Besides, don’t you really want to..."
Chen Song finally understood what was troubling Yi Rou. He embraced her tightly, whispering in her ear, "Who said I don’t want to? Yi Rou, I was just an ordinary person before, afraid to hold you back, afraid I couldn’t give you happiness, so I didn’t dare to want, I couldn’t want. Every word you said, I remember. Although I was refusing, I truly wanted it inside, and it was very tough to endure. Now that I have regained my magic power, I don’t want to endure any longer. Will you marry me, please? Please?"
Listening to Chen Song’s passionate and lingering confession, Yi Rou let out a soft sigh. At this moment, what else could she say but "yes"?
After suffering for so many years, they should cherish the rest of their lives more.
Those little prides and grievances, just let them go!
