Chapter 379: Fifty Years Promise (1/2)

Hearing the answer from Xue Wei, Wang Xiaoyun managed to get her emotions under control. Even so, she looked at Xue Wei with distrust.

”Listen to me first,” Xue Wei said gently. ”Luoluo is a spirit. She was kept captive for a long time; her powers used to fuel an academy at the continent Yan Dalu.

”She had forgotten who she was and everything that had to do with her life. She was very pitiful and all alone, so I adopted her as my sister.

”Back then, she was a brat, a tiny child. I might be a beast, but I already have you, and I have absolutely no interest in children.

”She has been a child by my side since she started following us, and even now she has grown older, she is just a slightly older child. She will always be my little sister.

”I don't mind explaining to you, but please believe in my sincerity as well. I cannot leave Luoluo alone. She is my sister. But I cannot leave you either. You are the one in my heart, the one who took it away so many years prior and still make it beat rapidly. Without you, I would never have the strength to face the day after tomorrow. It is for our sake that I am increasing my strength.”

Wang Xiaoyun had at first been devastated, but after hearing Xue Wei's explanation, she suddenly turned nervous.

She had exposed her emotions with no restraint because she thought that she would be turned down, but now she was embarrassed because she had overthought the whole situation.

Xue Wei reached out his hand and cupped her cheek into his palm.

”I cannot return to Chang'an right now,” he said regretfully. ”I need to get stronger before I go back and face those old monsters. But when I can, I will come and end the war. When the war is ended, I will take you as my lawful wife. You will have to wait until then,” there was a bit of pleading in his eyes.

”I know that we are no longer as young as we were when we first met, but our lifespan is much longer now we are so far down the road of cultivation. I promise that before fifty years have passed, I will come and make you my wife.”

Wang Xiaoyun's eyes widened in shock when she heard his promise. At first, she had thought that it was many years, but when she was reminded that he needed to stand on top of the continent, she knew it was already the shortest time frame he could offer her.

Fifty years. It sounded like a lot, but the truth was that to cultivators, it was not that much time. Although she was unsure if she would be able to survive that long, she would hold on with her last breath for Xue Wei's sake while fighting against the beasts.

Although she no longer held hatred towards all beasts, the ones who were engaged in the war, she could not let go of them.

Especially Chu Huiyin, the ice harpy. She had to kill Chu Huiyin with her own hands, Chu Huiyin, who had murdered her entire family!

Thinking about Chu Huiyin, coldness seeped into her bones, but moments after, she looked at Xue Wei and took a deep sigh.
