Chapter 9: The Novel's Heroine is My Fiancée!
--------------------------------------------------------
Creak!
The palace door gently opened.
Lin Ru, dressed in a thick mink fur coat, entered the room. Her beautiful face radiated a mother's gentle and dignified aura.
After entering, Lin Ru carefully closed the door, fearing that any cold air might harm her precious son.
She walked lightly to the bedside, and upon seeing her son's sweet, sleeping face, she couldn't help but smile warmly.
Bending down, she kissed Ji Xiu's forehead and softly whispered in his ear,
"Xiu'er!"
"Wake up!"
She didn't want to wake him from his sleep, but knowing the urgency of the situation, she had no choice.
"Mm?"
"Mother!"
"Is something wrong?"
Ji Xiu lazily opened his eyes and asked in a soft voice.
"Good son!"
"Mother has something to tell you!"
Lin Ru lovingly stroked Ji Xiu's soft hair and spoke earnestly.
"Oh!"
Ji Xiu nodded. He was curious about the identity of his mysterious fiancée.
"Xiu'er!"
"Mother and your grandmother have arranged a marriage for you!"
Lin Ru smiled helplessly.
"Mm!"
"Who is she?"
Ji Xiu asked directly.
"Her name is... Mu Bing!"
"She is your grand-aunt's last disciple!"
"And the future master of the Ice God Palace!"
Lin Ru pinched Ji Xiu's cheek, her tone full of complexity.
Though she was reluctant to let her son get married so early, she had to admit that Mu Bing was a perfect match for him. Moreover, once Mu Bing became the master of the Ice God Palace, it would bring immense benefits to the Ji family.
Therefore, this marriage was not only set in stone but also crucial.
"Mu Bing!!!"
Upon hearing this name, Ji Xiu frowned deeply.
Mu Bing!
In the original story...
She was the heroine!
Also, the Empress of the Immortal Clan!
She was reborn during the peak of the Devil God Ji Xiu's reign, which meant his future self, and returned to ten thousand years ago!
In the future...
She would be the one to seduce him!
She would fake a marriage with him!
On their wedding night, she would stab him with the Soul Destroying Nail!
And in the final battle, she would be the one to pierce his heart with a sword!
Simply put...
The heroine Mu Bing, with her heart-killing tactics, would be one of the most crucial culprits leading to his future downfall!
"So it's her!"
"The heroine has arrived!"
Ji Xiu thought thoughtfully, a playful look in his eyes.
In the novel, Ji Xiu first met Mu Bing at the age of eighteen. Moreover, Mu Bing appeared as Ji Xiu's elder. In terms of seniority, Mu Bing was technically his aunt...
Because of this, Ji Xiu never expected her to appear at this point in time, let alone get engaged to him!
"This is interesting!"
Ji Xiu's mind raced as he began to formulate countermeasures.
The heroine's arrival was something he couldn't ignore!
At that moment, Lin Ru asked earnestly,
"Son!"
"Do you know what marriage means?"
To her, her three-year-old son couldn't possibly understand the concept of marriage. It was essential to explain it to him clearly, to avoid any misunderstandings that might offend their guests.
"Of course I know!"
"Marriage means you can kiss..."
"And sleep together!"
"Just like Mother and Father!"
"Never to be separated!"
Ji Xiu replied with a smile.
Hearing this, Lin Ru's face turned red. She glared at Ji Xiu playfully, intending to refute him, but found herself at a loss for words.
Finally, she could only pinch Ji Xiu's cheek and reluctantly say,
"Though your words are crude, the logic is sound!"
"As long as you understand!"
"In the future, you and she will be together for life!"
In her eyes, it was enough that her son understood this much. As long as he behaved properly tomorrow and didn't make a fuss, it would be fine.
With that, Lin Ru tucked Ji Xiu in and gave him one last reminder,
"Son!"
"Tomorrow, your grand-aunt and Mu Bing will come to the Ji residence!"
"Make sure you behave and don't cause trouble!"
"Alright!"
Ji Xiu nodded.
Satisfied, Lin Ru finally left.
Now, lying on the bed, Ji Xiu stared at the bright moon outside the window. The moonlight reflected in his clear eyes, which shone with a cold glimmer.
"Mu Bing, huh!"
"Perfect timing!"
"This is... quite the coincidence!"
Ji Xiu's lips curled into a smile.
He had just bought a profound technique called the Flying Dragon Exploring the Clouds Hand!
He didn't expect to be able to put it to use so soon.
He eagerly anticipated what kind of surprises Mu Bing would bring him!
With that, he took out the manual for Flying Dragon Exploring the Clouds Hand from his inventory and began to cultivate it!
"With my comprehension and talent!"
"Mastering this profound technique should take no more than a day!"
Ji Xiu took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes.
Mu Bing!
The heroine!
The Empress of the Immortal Clan!
She was a veritable gold mine waiting to be tapped!
He couldn't wait!!!
