Chapter 770: Have You Had Any Regrets Over These Years?

Three days later.

The relationship between Qin Jian and Zhu Zhuqing had also reached fulfillment.

Following the order, he returned to Blazing Academy once more to spend three days with Shui Bing'er and Huo Wu.

After that, he returned to the Star Dou Great Forest.

It was still as fresh and moving as ever.

Qin Jian flew in a straight line, heading directly into the depths of the forest.

"Da Ming, walk, walk, I'm not telling you to crawl!"

Before he had even landed, he heard Xiao Wu's loud, clamorous voice.

Qin Jian looked down, but he did not see the incomparably massive figure of Da Ming that he had expected.

"Da Ming has transformed?"

Qin Jian landed, observing the... little boy lying on the ground before him with great interest.

"Brother!"

Xiao Wu, who had been lecturing Da Ming, jumped up at once and leaped onto Qin Jian with extreme familiarity.

Qin Jian could only support her buttocks with his hands to keep her from falling off him.

"Xiao Qing is back?"

Da Wu, in a green dress, sat on a tree branch and waved to greet him.

Er Ming, who was left at the end, stood not far behind Da Ming, laughing, "Walking is so simple, yet Second Brother actually can't learn it, ho ho ho..."

"Idiot! That's because I was always swimming in the water before!" Da Ming's angry voice had also become exceptionally childish.

Qin Jian couldn't help but laugh: "Da Ming, don't be in such a rush to stand up and walk. You must first learn to crawl, then learn to maintain your balance, and only then comes walking."

"Walking is so hard..."

Da Ming turned his head to look: "Big Brother, weren't you a flower back then? How did you know how to walk as soon as you transformed?"

Qin Jian pondered: "Perhaps it's a natural gift."

Da Ming: "......"

"Alright, alright, Da Ming's lesson for today ends here. Er Ming, take him to find something to eat."

Da Wu jumped down from the tree.

"Xiao Wu, what kind of wedding do you want?"

Qin Jian patted her back and set her down.

But Xiao Wu still held onto his neck and wouldn't let go.

"Hmm... can you make our home bloom with flowers?"

She pointed to the area around the lake and said: "Just like when you transformed, flowers bloomed for a radius of ten miles. It was so beautiful."

"Whatever Xiao Wu wants, I will make it happen for you."

Qin Jian reached out his hand, his eyes turning a pale Purple.

"Hum."

A faint ripple spread outward, and a Purple ring of light was seen dispersing from his body.

Wherever it passed, flowers grew out of thin air.

In an instant, they completed the process from birth to full bloom.

The Purple ring of light grew larger and larger—one mile, ten miles, a hundred miles... until it covered the entire Star Dou Great Forest!

With him as the center, brilliant and colorful flowers bloomed across the whole world.

At this moment, all the Soul Beasts in the entire Star Dou Great Forest quieted down.

Because the fragrance of the flowers carried an aura of peace and tranquility, smoothing out their ferocity and allowing all the Soul Beasts to catch their breath.

The elegant floral scent permeated the air. Xiao Wu took a deep breath, her beautiful little face flushed and glowing; it was very moving.

"Hum."

Qin Jian smiled slightly, his eyes shining once more.

Suddenly, more flowers bloomed beneath his and Xiao Wu's feet, slowly weaving into a thick carpet of flowers.

At the same time, the crisscrossing trees nearby were also covered in flowers.

In a moment, this place was decorated into a natural world of flowers.

"So beautiful..."

Xiao Wu spun around in the sea of flowers, just like an elf in a painting dancing gracefully.

"Do you like it?"

Qin Jian looked at her with doting eyes.

Xiao Wu slowly stopped her spinning figure, looked back, and smiled: "I like it."

Flower petals drifted down like snow, stirring the heart.

Before they knew it, Da Ming and Er Ming had returned.

Er Ming squatted at the edge of the flower sea, and Da Ming lay on his head.

"Mother..."

Xiao Wu turned her head to look at her mother nearby, her smile moving: "I'm getting married!"

Da Wu leaned against the flowers on the tree trunk and smiled slightly: "Didn't you decide on him a long, long time ago?"

"Xiao Qing..."

She looked at Qin Jian: "There are no fixed rituals for Soul Beast weddings, but as for you two, you made a promise long ago, didn't you?"

Qin Jian thought for a moment, then opened his hand, and an ancient wooden comb appeared in his palm.

Seeing the comb that was still as clean as new, Xiao Wu's eyes suddenly softened.

"Come, Xiao Wu..."

Qin Jian took her hand, had her turn around halfway, and stand with her back to him.

"I will comb your hair..."

He skillfully untied the hair tie holding Xiao Wu's hair, gave it a slight tug, and her long hair, which almost reached the ground, cascaded down.

Slowly, he combed through it strand by strand, over and over again.

Da Wu, Da Ming, and Er Ming all watched quietly.

This was the ceremony for Qin Jian and Xiao Wu to become husband and wife.

Even though Qin Jian combed very slowly, because Xiao Wu's long hair was soft and smooth, it wasn't long before he had it combed neatly.

He had intended to help her tie her hair back up, but Xiao Wu suddenly turned around and grabbed his hands.

Her long hair danced lightly, and she looked ethereal and beautiful.

"Do you like Xiao Wu with her hair down?" she asked, blinking her eyes.

With her hair tied up, she is an elf; with her hair down, she is a fairy.

Qin Jian reached out and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear: "I like it, I like it very much."

"Then from now on, at home, I won't tie my hair up."

Xiao Wu's pink, snow-white arms hooked around his neck, her breath as fragrant as orchids: "Xiao Wu wants..."

For a Soul Beast to seek intimacy, it is just this simple and direct.

"Puff, puff, puff..."

Dozens of vines rose from the ground, enclosing the two of them within a thirty-meter radius, blocking them from Da Ming and the others' sight.

Thousands of flowers bloomed on the vines, their fragrance like a thin mist, also isolating the sounds inside.

Qin Jian sat down in the sea of flowers, placing Xiao Wu's lithe body on his lap and holding her tight.

Her long hair, bright as silk, spread out, adding even more of a goddess-like aura to her.

"It has clearly only been a dozen years or so..."

Xiao Wu pressed tightly against Qin Jian's chest and said softly: "Why does it feel longer than the past Ten Thousand Year? The simple happiness of the past seems to have been diluted by the turmoil of these years..."

Qin Jian held her slender waist tight with his left hand and gently stroked her smooth, tender face with his right.

"Because back then we weren't human yet, and our world was as simple as a blank sheet of paper; even if the memories lasted a long time, we would slowly forget those repetitive, unchanging days..."

"But after taking human form, we truly came into contact with human emotions; slowly, we learned to love, learned to cherish, and learned to stay together..."

He kissed Xiao Wu gently on the center of her brow: "Xiao Wu, have you had any regrets over these years?"

"None at all..."

Xiao Wu's pure eyes flickered gently: "Without these experiences, I might still be unable to understand what kind of feelings I have, and I wouldn't have been able to make a lifelong promise..."

She raised her head, wrapped her arms around Qin Jian's neck, and whispered: "I only feel regret that even now, I still haven't been able to help with anything; all those crises and dangers, you have been resisting them alone..."

"As long as you are still by my side, as long as I can still see your carefree smile, I have already received the greatest support..."

Qin Jian gently stroked her cheek, kissed her slowly, and gradually pressed her down into the sea of flowers...
