CHAPTER 305: For This Love, I Will Charge Forth!
"However, I only like you!" Gu Duxing said urgently and assuredly, "Not long ago, I went out for three days... there were many beautiful women, but none of them compared to Sister Xiao Miao. I couldn't even bear to look at them... You don't know, Ji Mo and Rocky Luo were staring like fools, but I just couldn't look at them..."
In order to express his love, Gu Duxing didn't blink as he sold out his two brothers... and trampled them underfoot.
"But... but that's not okay!" Gu Miaoling wiped her tears vigorously. Despite her sorrow, her heart nearly broke into a smile at Gu Duxing's words, and she gently said, "Little brother, you need to understand... a husband and wife are only called that when they are together; right now, I am trapped here for life... Don't be foolish."
She gently stopped Gu Duxing from speaking and said in a low voice, "Little brother, Sister Xiao Miao is very grateful for your feelings... You know, from today onwards, I am no longer afraid of this imprisoned dragon cave... But you... you can't be this foolish..."
"My little brother, you need to find a gentle and lovely girl to accompany you through life's storms... to be together until old age... that is what a husband and wife truly are..."
"You should go back now... don't stay here. Don't be foolish, be good..." Gu Miaoling gazed affectionately at Gu Duxing, staring for a long time, her eyes shimmering with tears, but a gentle smile blossomed on her lips: "With your words, Sister Xiao Miao's life... will not be in vain..."
"No!" Gu Duxing exclaimed: "Isn't it just an imperial level expert? Sister Xiao Miao! Wait for me, within two years, I will reach the imperial level! I swear! I swear on the souls of my ancestors..."
"You dare!" Gu Miaoling said sharply: "If you continue, I'll die right here in front of you!"
Gu Duxing stopped, looking at her, suddenly smiling gently, and said, "Sister Xiao Miao, if you were to die here now... then we could become husband and wife immediately..."
The implication of this sentence made Gu Miaoling tremble all over.
She lunged towards the railing like a mad person, shouting desperately, "No! You can't!"
Gu Duxing reached over the railing and gently yet firmly embraced Gu Miaoling’s cold body. She shivered, and suddenly, a fierce blush spread across her face...
"Sister Xiao Miao, look, when you entered here, I was only a sword sect third rank... but now, I am already a sword sovereign fifth rank! Within half a year, I will definitely rise to sword king! Do you believe me?" Gu Duxing said in a low voice.
"Sword sovereign fifth rank?" Gu Miaoling stared blankly at him: "Really?"
"Of course it's true!" Gu Duxing said proudly: "And, I definitely did not take any shortcuts; every step was earned through my own hard work." As he spoke, he leaned closer to Gu Miaoling’s ear and whispered, "I met an extraordinary person who taught me a method to quickly advance... Hmm, no one else knows about this."
To reassure Gu Miaoling, Gu Duxing made up a kind story.
"Really?" Gu Miaoling looked at him with sparkling eyes.
"Of course it's true! Otherwise, I swear!" Gu Duxing raised his hand.
"Don't!" Gu Miaoling quickly stopped him, saying gently: "I trust you."
"Mm." Gu Duxing smiled contentedly. Although there was still an unyielding cold railing between them, they both felt an overwhelming warmth and happiness at that moment.
"By the way, that extraordinary person later became my boss; he gave me a good thing to give to you." Gu Duxing wanted to reach into his breast pocket to fetch something, but he didn't want to let go of Gu Miaoling, so he had to awkwardly pull it out in a very strange posture...
And then, like a treasure offering, he stuffed a jade box into Gu Miaoling's hands and quickly embraced her again.
"What is this?" Gu Miaoling lowered her delicate neck, playing with the small jade box.
"Don't open it yet. Open it when you get inside," Gu Duxing said softly: "This is an Essence of Fire."
"Ah?" Gu Miaoling was taken aback. The Essence of Fire was a rare treasure; a piece as small as a fingernail, when worn, would ensure that no matter how cold the environment was, one would not feel the slightest chill.
