2903 The Proposal 2 (2/2)

Gu Xijiu began to tease him, \”You do not even know where I come from. How is that even love?\”

Meng Wuya looked at her slightly awkwardly and said, \”Little Jiu, have you heard of love at first sight? Your ethereal beauty has bewitched me.\”

She could feel chills down her spine at this point. The man was taking it too far. She was not someone who could be fooled by these superficial words.

Unimpressed, she looked away. \”You are a very good looking man, my prince. Why should you give your heart to someone so ordinary, like me? Stop making fun of me.\”

Troubled, Meng Wuya tried to explain to her, \”Your looks are nothing but a cover for your body. Your depth of character is what I admire the most.\”

\”Oh, what about my character? You brought me here as soon as we met. There was hardly any conversation. How did you get to know me any better?\”

Meng Wuya was dumbstruck, so he took a while to gather his words. \”Little Jiu, to you, that was our first encounter by the hill, but to me, I have been thinking about you since I first saw you some time ago.\”

That did not quite make sense. She had just disguised herself when she first arrived in the Devil Kingdom, so the persona she carried was still fresh and new. How long had he been thinking about her, exactly?

Gu Xijiu continued, \”How many days have you been back in the kingdom?\”

Meng Wuya answered, \”Not long ago. I have not been around in the Devil Kingdom much until I heard about you. I came all the way back, only to fall in love with you. However, I had to keep these feelings to myself because you are already the fiancée of the National Master. Seeing him with my sister prompted me to review his life by using the Tracing Spell. That is how I came across those images.\”
