Chapter Fourteen : Sweetheart

It been a week since they stayed in Fanyin Village.It was about time for them to leave.But FengJiu pleaded Dijun for them to stay a bit longer, because there will be another festival held on.It was the Maiden Festival, and FengJiu had always wanted to know how it was celebrated here after all QingQiu and Fanyin Village didn't had a close relationship thus it was impossible for her back then to visit.But since she was now imposing as someone else , why miss the chance to attend it!


The festival starts in the evening , and it was still early so she had some time to kill.Mostly to bid farewell to her friends and dragging the demon lord with her who was too emotional for his own good.Sometimes she wonder..is he really a demon? he was quite kind but his vocabulary suck but at least he can still talk properly and attending the academy helps him a lot.


Demon are known for being aggressive and brute.They speak with their fists not words, thus the reason why the demon lord's speaking manner was quite bad but still good enough to fool people..most of the times cause infront of the royal family besides Meng shao and his cousin, he will keep his mouth shut tight and let FengJiu do the talking.


The young queen and the demon lord was sitting besides each other with a heavy sighed.They were getting a good scold from their teacher who used to teach them daoism.And both of them pretty much cause trouble each time it was his class.Either by locking him up in a tunnel that he fell or burn his seat when he was about to sit down.


They were too michievous for their own good and they always get away from their punishment by escaping before getting caught but today since they had to bid everyone a goodbye they had no choice but to confront him.Which he gave them a piece of his mind.The teacher was already old,his beard was white and long until his chest, his hair was neatly tied up with a hairpin.He was wearing a green tunic and a snow white robe.His eyes was filled with furious and both of them had to suffer for hours.


"..I can't feel my leg"


"me neither..."


Both of them couldn't even get up even if they wanted to.They fell flat on the cold ground and burst into laughter.It was their last day to be together as brother and sister.The demon lord honestly didn't know that people from Deity clan was actually this playful, he heard they were all elegant and hypocrite stuff.But she was different,she wasn't exactly like those he had heard about.


The snow that was piling up around them was sinking them in.They gaze up to the sky as it was paint with the colour of blue to lightly orange.The golden hue no longer bask them.But yet there they were,laying down on the ground for half a day.


"It a good thing we are immortal.This is not our last meeting you know.If I get marry with Jiheng I will invite you as a special guest"


A proud smile beamed on his face.She look at him for once to observe the flawless face that was envied by girls .His well shaped face, his flawless snow white skin and dark eyes was more alluring than most girl--Yet he was a boy.Thus, gaining jealousy from girls throughout their stay here.He even once thought up that he could save up a beard but the young queen didn't agree with him- It was impossible to hide his beauty much less trying to disguise it with a beard.Even though beard represent masculinity ..this demon lord was too pretty for his own good.


"If you get marry"


"hey!"


The young queen was tackle to the ground once she sat up-The demon lord shove them flat on the snow and literally buried half of body in it.FengJiu who fell flat on the snow frown.Both of their face was covered with snow , no need to even mention their hair-Their jet black hair now spread on the ground creating a beautiful contrast of black and white.The demon lord was sitting in front of her with cross legs and grin in proudness!She could only shooks her head to get off the snow but suddenly stop when he leaned sligtly closer.


"I just realize your birthmark...is quite pretty"


But before he could even touch her forehead a large snowball flew at his face and knock him out for good-


"my hand slip"


..The young queen hardly believe that but decided to bury the young demon lord under the snow without feeling any guilt and stab a stick on it like it was a grave.


"Your hand slip quite far ehh grandpa Dijun?"


The small prince of heaven popped out his head from behind the silver haired immortal.He was wearing a light blue robe that was thick enough for him to endure the cold.His eyes turn glassy when he saw FengJiu..did he miss her that much? The young queen's heart soften.The small dumpling quickly ran toward her .She was wearing a bright red robe with a white jade hairpin on her hair.Her clothing was simple yet elegant enough to capture people's attention .


The small prince was running toward her hurriedly while the silver haired immortal only follow him unhurriedly.


The small dumpling was looking around as if he was meeting her in secret.He immediately came to stop when they were infront of her as he bow in respect.


"A-Li greets Princess Jiuge of owl clan"


But the dumpling couldn't contain his excitement and once again FengJiu was pushed against the snow-


"Aunt! I miss you so much!~"


A-Li was whining ever so cutely infront of her with glassy eyes,fidgeting his fingers shyly.Her cousin is too cute for his own good-FengJiu hugged the little dumpling and ruffled his hair softly with full of affection.How she miss this small dumpling.


"I see you are just fine here hmm? Xiao Ju"


The snow that was covering her snow white skin was nowhere cold as her Aunt's gaze.It was so cold that she felt like her whole body went numb.Her aunt was a high goddess, and the only one that exist currently.Her refined figure bring shame to others.No one in the world would dare to compare to her..And no one dare to offend her even the heaven lord himself respect her.


She was wearing a simple light peach robe that flutter like an illusion.The colour suited her very well especially with her long dark raven hair.Her long slender finger was brushing against her favourite fan-the Kunlun Jade Purity Fan.The fan was embedded with a craving made out of jade that bring out it refined aura even more.A wave from it can send immortals flying away, the only person who can ever control it was her aunt,Bai Qian.


Usually her eyes was tender but right now it was fierce like a storm-FengJiu immediately avert her gaze to Dijun was holding a wreath of flower.It was simple yet elegant enough,it was a mix of pink yueling flower and white begonia.It was nicely made which was quite expected from the silver haired immortal..But that was not the point right now!


'Dijun!help me!'


The silver haired immortal raised an eyebrow and keep on playing with the wreath of flower.


'..I will make you some snacks"


..She wasn't sure if Dijun were a foodie or not..but he is always please with the food she cook..so hopefully it was enough to bait him.


..Unfortunately Dijun shows no intrest while the glare from the High goddess grew even intense that the young queen felt like it was piercing right through her.


"I will be indebt to you!and deffinitely pay you back!"


There was a hint of mischief in his eyes before it quickly melt away.He took a step forward and reach out his hand toward the young queen while swiftly placed the wreath of flower on her head.She hesitately took his hand and was forcefully pulled against him.Both of her hands was against his chest and her pale skin flush pink.They were being so close and infront of her own her aunt--


The young queen find herself struggling to get away from the silver haired immortal but was completely lock.Her face keep on getting even redder as she stop struggling knowing he would only pull her closer.


"D-Dijun...."


He look at her curiously before shifting his gaze toward the high goddess infront of them who was fumming.Clearly, Dijun was too thick-skin to even care about what she thinks.


"High Goddess Bai Qian, Xiao Bai has promise me that she belong to me this entire evening,so we will be taking our leave now."


Right in front of her, the high goddess's niece was taken away under her nose.A-Li who was standing there look at the pair in shock! his mouth was wide open and it could even fit two eggs in it! He have to tell this to his third uncle(LianSong)!


....
........


"T-Thank you for saving me Dijun...."


She mumbled under her breath.Everytime they are alone she couldn't help but feeling the butterfly in her stomach rising drastically.Her blood was boiling and she wanted to bury herself in the snow-It was really a bad idea to be alone with Dijun.She knew they already cut their ties 300 years ago.She knew he was just someone that belong to the past to him.She fairly knew that Dijun care for her because she was from QingQiu..but why is it her body always betray her especially her heart.It was beating so loudly that she was afraid he could hear it.


"How are you going to repay me Xiao Bai"


FengJiu ponder for a moment..that was a good question.How in the world should she pay him? Should she serve him tea for 100 years? but he already have servants to do that.Play chess with him? impossible, he is too good.


"Is there any wish you have in mind?"


a fade smile curled on his thin lips as he held onto her hand and yank her close.


"Marry me"


"....What?"


FengJiu stood there for half a day.She was trying to swallow what he had just said.Dijun love to tease her that for sure..but saying such a thing was absurd even for him!


"Please don't joke around"


He already rejected her countless of times.And finally he propose to her?-what gotten into him? did he took the wrong medicine.But the gaze that fix onto her eyes was calm,without a hint of michievous.


"..You said we can't be together...y-you said we are not fated..y-you said..."


Her voice crack.She was sobbing,she didn't even know why she was being this emotional.She wasn't supose to be this emotional and yet she was crying infront of him.


"it's my fault Xiao Bai"


He no longer called her Jiu'er but that was fine for her..calling her Xiao Bai was driving her crazy.It was making her heart race so much it felt like it was going to explode.


"But I was never afraid of destiny.Even if we are not meant for each other, this time I will fight for us"


The stern in his voice cause shiver down her spines.Never once she heard Dijun said that in such a serious manner as if he would go against the world if he had to.


"But for the realms sake..."


His cold finger found it way on her warm cheek.It was brushing against her skin ever so softly that she felt comfortable being near him now.


"I will protect what belong to me , I won't abandon the realms.But when it is in dire situation and in needs of me , I will be there"


But that what scares her the most..what if Dijun were to die? she would follow him to death.


"I-I...."


"do you not love me Xiao Bai?.."


Even though there was no hint of emotion on his face, his voice was full of bitterness as if he was being rejected.


"..I never thought I was too late..I never thought you would have fallen for that demon lord"


..FengJiu stood there dumbfounded.Did Dijun misnderstood their relationship? Xiao Yan is her best friend.They do not harbour any feeling toward each other.Sometimes they are just like siblings.


Dijun only stood there infront of her as he pulled back his hand swiftly.His gaze no longer retain the warmth it usually shows.


FengJiu felt that it was really silly of him to think such a thing.Who knows that DongHua Dijun could be jealous?


She leaned against him and found her arms wrapping around his neck and nuzzle against his neck.She then nested her head against his chest with a michievous smile.


"Have I ever said I am in love with Xiao Yan? He is nothing but a friend"


..There was still no response from Dijun..he was really sulking --She then pressed a gentle kiss on his cheek and nested on his chest again.


"I have only loved you all this time,there's no way for me to fall in love with another"


With that his face brighten a bit and he finally wrapped her in his warmth.
