Chapter 302 My Ah Xu, Turns Out He's a Big Romantic
Zhai Rong stared intently at the person in front of her.
Time hadn't diminished his charm in the slightest; instead, it had added a calm and expansive aura, gradually merging with the person she had just rediscovered in her memories.
She stared blankly, about to say something, when the man rushed over and pulled her into his arms.
The cold pine resin lingered on her body, masking the effects of the alcohol.
Jun Ce was initially cautious, then tightened his arms inch by inch, as if afraid that if there was even the slightest gap, she would seize the opportunity to slip away.
"Rong'er... Rong'er..."
"It really is you...it really is you..."
Her fragrance, her body temperature—never before had he captured them so vividly. Jun Ce's heart shattered and then mended itself, yet it carried with it the last trace of fear and hesitation that she might leave again, preventing him from indulging in excessive joy.
His tears fell on her neck, burning her completely.
In her drunken haze, Zhai Rongyu heard him murmur over and over again.
"I miss you so much."
"Rong'er, I miss you so much."
He held her close, pulling her into his arms, and felt that nothing in the world was more beautiful than the word "truth".
He'd trade anything for it.
As long as I can keep her.
The Dragon King, who once looked down upon the world, was now nothing more than a trapped beast begging for mercy before her.
So humbly yearning for her grace.
Zhai Rongyu paused for a moment, then reached out and hugged him.
She had intended to tease him and convince him that he hadn't regained his memory, but seeing him like this, how could she bring herself to do it?
“Ah Xu…” she sighed softly.
Hearing the familiar address, Jun Ce buried his head even deeper, his broad body trembling slightly. "Rong'er, I've been waiting for you for so long."
"For a very long time."
Even when he was being torn apart and devoured by countless demonic beasts deep within the Crimson Abyss, losing her was more unbearable than this. The ticking of time, each second like the cruelest bell hammer, struck him so hard that even his soul ached.
Yet he was like a self-destructive fool, personally collecting anything in the world related to her, picking up those sweet memories again and again, and then brewing them into the most poisonous and potent poison, which he willingly drank.
He was willing to suffer this kind of torment for the rest of his life.
But the gods took pity on her, and she returned.
He had always been arrogant, never placing his hopes on external factors, believing that anything was possible with human effort and that human will could overcome fate. But today, he was willing to place his elusive hope in it, and from this moment on, he began to have faith.
"Please don't leave me again, okay?" he pleaded.
As Zhai Rong's drunkenness gradually subsided, her clear mind was filled with heartache for him.
She didn't know how to comfort him, so she could only gently pat his back and say "okay" over and over again.
They hugged for a long time.
Jun Ce only let go of the person in his arms after confirming that it was not an illusion.
Zhai Rongyu raised her hand to cup his face, her thumb gently stroking the dark circles under his eyes and the thick stubble on his face, and sighed softly.
"Ah Xu, what happened to you?"
He looked like he hadn't slept all night.
Jun Ce couldn't say anything, he just stared at her with red eyes.
Zhai Rongyu pulled him by the hand and led him to sit down by the locust tree. She burned the talisman and a razor appeared in her hand.
"I'll shave you."
"Okay." Jun Ce's voice was hoarse, and he leaned in like an obedient dog, his eyes fixed on her, his dark pupils filled with infatuation.
Zhai Rongyu carefully scraped him, her expression focused and her movements gentle, yet it seemed as if she was deliberately soothing him, as she kept talking to him.
She told him about her dream, the embarrassing incidents at the Xuantian Sect, and what she had just seen at the Dragon Palace...
She said a lot, hoping to use these trivial realities to dispel his fear and make him believe that she had really come back and would never leave again.
Jun Ce felt her gentleness, his heart felt like it was being warmed in water, and he let her do whatever she wanted.
"How did Ah Xu know it was me?" she asked.
Jun Ce looked at the person in front of him. The shimmering water reflected her face, and she was more beautiful than he had ever imagined.
She is different from before.
He had known all along that her true appearance was not what he had seen before, but when he actually saw her, he found himself at a loss for words.
Just one look into those eyes was enough to tell him that she was his Rong'er.
It can't be wrong.
“I just knew it,” he said in a low voice.
A smile appeared in Zhai Rongyu's eyes.
"Ah."
"My Ah Xu is indeed a great romantic."
Jun Ce's heart was touched by her words, and if asked to make a sacrifice at this moment, he would be willing.
“In Rong’er’s eyes, he is a romantic.”
He looked at her intently.
Zhai Rongyu was slightly taken aback, and blushed under his burning gaze.
She quickly focused on her hand movements.
Jun Ce then realized that he seemed unable to hear her thoughts anymore.
He actually breathed a sigh of relief.
"Alright." Zhai Rongyu finished shaving the last bit of his beard, put away the razor, gazed at his face in the gentle seawater, and finally couldn't help but lean in and kiss his lips as a reward, "Good boy, A-Xu."
It was unclear whether she was referring to him for waiting so long or praising him for not making any sudden movements.
She kissed him and then they separated.
Before they could get much closer, he grabbed the back of her head and said, "If Rong'er wants to reward me, this isn't enough."
His lips followed, his tall figure casting a shadow, encircling Zhai Rongyu in his arms.
Their lips met again, and he gently yet forcefully took her breath.
The fish, bewildered, swam around them, stirring up flower petals that fluttered in the water, ruffling their hair and robes, and entwining them in the water.
"Rong'er...you still owe me a wedding night."
Jun Ce breathed heavily, biting the corner of her lips as he murmured.
Zhai Rongyu's whole body was burning up. "No...not here..."
Even though there's a barrier here, it still feels like being in the open with no shelter... How could she possibly accept that?
Jun Ce smiled slightly and picked her up.
"Don't worry, let's go in."
After he finished speaking, he refused to release her lips, lifting her up slightly and continuing to kiss her passionately.
Zhai Rong weakly clutched at his robe, and as her consciousness faded, she heard a deafening roar coming from outside the Divine Palace.
"You audacious thief! Release the Lord!"
The Moon Shadow Guards stood in unison outside the barrier, using their water elemental power to shake it like ants trying to move a tree.
He was especially diligent, even when he was alone.
The golden barrier resounded with loud bangs, disturbing the envoys who had come to offer their congratulations. Before they knew it, the area outside the Shenque Palace was crowded with people.
Zhai Rongyu: ...
Jun Ce: ...
He held the girl in his arms, his tall frame frozen in place, veins bulging on his temples.
"Get out of my sight, all of you!!!"
The furious roar of the dragon pierced through the barrier of the Divine Palace, scattering the Moon Shadow Guards outside and sending them sprawling to the ground.
The guests covered their ears, their eyes wide open and even bloodshot.
The Moon Shadow Guards rose as if nothing had happened and dispersed the guests, saying, "Go back, go back, everyone go back."
This scene was all too familiar to them.
Just like that night when we lined up to watch the moon.
Zhiying and Feiying exchanged a glance, absolutely certain that the thief inside was Miss Zhai Er.
