After Being Entangled By the Obsessive Heroine [Quick Wear] - Chapter 42 [End of World 2]

Xian Ning slowly opened her eyes and looked at her. “What did you say?”

Qin Rong looked back at her, her gaze serious and firm. “I love you. Please, be my cultivation partner.”

Xian Ning didn’t know how to answer. She knew she shouldn’t agree, but she couldn’t find the words to refuse.

From the beginning, she had been pushed along by her mission and had never considered her own feelings for Qin Rong.

She had instinctively resisted, unwilling to consider their relationship, but in their time together, feelings had already grown.

Xian Ning’s heart gradually cleared. She loved the person in front of her. It had nothing to do with her mission or anything else. It was a pure, heartfelt love.

Qin Rong waited for her answer, her expression becoming visibly nervous. At first, she thought it was a sure thing, but as Xian Ning remained silent, she grew uneasy.

Why wasn’t she agreeing?

Did she not love me?

But if she didn’t, then why…

Xian Ning was still in her arms, her neck and chest covered in kiss marks. The intimate marks on her body were proof of the night’s debauchery. Qin Rong could clearly feel her deep passion. So why wouldn’t she marry her?

A torrent of thoughts rushed through Qin Rong’s mind. She grabbed Xian Ning’s wrist. Her beautiful phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a look of possessiveness.

“Are you thinking of leaving me again? You can’t! Absolutely not!”

Xian Ning’s wrist hurt. She felt like her bones were about to be crushed. She knew Qin Rong was acting this way because of her insecurity, and her heart felt a faint pang of sadness.

“I’m in the palm of your hand. How could I leave?”

Qin Rong was half-believing. “Really?”

“Of course, it’s real. You’ve had your fill of me so many times. Are you going to be irresponsible?”

Xian Ning snuggled into her arms, her almond eyes wide, looking innocent and pitiful. Qin Rong’s heart softened instantly. She kissed her on the forehead.

“Then why aren’t you willing to marry me?”

Xian Ning retorted, “When did I say I wasn’t willing?”

Qin Rong was speechless. She hadn’t said it, but wasn’t her long silence a sign of her unwillingness?

Xian Ning knew from her expression that she had created a new story in her head, imagining all sorts of things.

But at the end of the day, it was all due to a lack of security.

Come to think of it, she had never given her a promise. It was normal for her to feel insecure.

“Qin Rong.”

“Hmm?”

Xian Ning cupped her face and smiled. “Rong Rong.”

“Hmm? What is it?” Qin Rong was utterly serious, her dark eyes reflecting Xian Ning’s face.

Xian Ning stared at her own reflection in Qin Rong’s eyes, her smile widening. “Have I ever told you that I love you?”

Qin Rong was first stunned, then said in a low voice, “No, you never have.”

“Well, I’m telling you now.” Xian Ning pecked her on the lips. “I love you.”

Qin Rong’s pupils trembled, and her eyes turned red. It was a long time before she said, “I love you too. So, so much.”

She buried her face in Xian Ning’s neck. Xian Ning felt a dampness on her shoulder. The little crybaby must be crying again.

Then she wondered, “Again? Qin Rong has barely cried in front of me.”

How strange.

Xian Ning patted her back gently, her eyes curved into a smile, her expression even softer than before.

After a while, Qin Rong lifted her head, her eyes red, and looked at her. “Say it again.”

Xian Ning: “Huh?”

“Say ‘I love you’ again, so I know I’m not dreaming.”

Xian Ning leaned into her ear and whispered, “I love you. I love you. I love you. Is that enough?”

Qin Rong’s eyelashes fluttered. Her gaze deepened, and she held onto Xian Ning’s slender waist.

“Did you do that on purpose?”

Xian Ning blinked innocently. “What are you talking about? Didn’t you want to hear it?”

Qin Rong couldn’t deal with her. She lowered her head and gently bit her lips twice, then moved to her neck, making the faint marks on it even messier.

Xian Ning held her head, her mouth slightly open, her eyes closed. Her long fingers tangled in Qin Rong’s thick black hair, a perfect match for the intimate atmosphere.

The sun hid behind the clouds, and the light grew dim. The thin bed curtains swayed in the breeze, and their entangled, pale bodies were a blurry sight.

There was no lamp lit in the room, only the moonlight that had snuck in through the window. Xian Ning was on top of Qin Rong, sweat trickling down her face, her eyes hazy and tired.

“Qin Rong, if you don’t stop, I’m not marrying you!”

Her voice was so hoarse it was almost a whisper. It had no threat in it at all. Instead, it sounded like she was pouting.

Hearing her playful complaint, Qin Rong kissed her cheek. “One last time.”

“Mmm!” Xian Ning bit her lip. She couldn’t say no.

When she heard Xian Ning say she loved her, Qin Rong lost all control. She wanted nothing more than to die in Xian Ning’s arms.

She was so overwhelmed that she almost hurt Xian Ning. By the time she calmed down, Xian Ning had already passed out in her arms.

Qin Rong brought in some cold spring water to wash them both. Then she held Xian Ning in her arms and fell asleep, her heart content.

She would find her master tomorrow and have him officiate their wedding.

Xian Ning had a very deep sleep. The sunlight on her face felt warm and pleasant. Her heart felt warm, and her body was even warmer.

She turned her head and saw that Qin Rong had her completely wrapped in her arms, making her sweat.

“…”

Xian Ning carefully moved her hands away and created some distance between them.

There was no need to cling to each other in such hot weather.

The leaves outside rustled. Xian Ning’s sharp senses detected that someone was coming.

She put on her clothes and went out, just in time to see her master and Elder Jiang pushing open the courtyard gate.

“Master, Elder Jiang, why didn’t you let us know you were coming?”

Peng Lian smiled without a word. Jiang Hanjin said in a calm voice, “We sent a messenger bird, but… you two didn’t notice it.”

Xian Ning thought about it. She really couldn’t remember. Suddenly, something flashed through her mind, and her face instantly turned bright red.

If the messenger bird had come when she and Qin Rong were…

That was a messenger bird!

It didn’t understand anything and would repeat everything it heard. It didn’t know what it should and shouldn’t say.

And Qin Rong had no filter and said all sorts of vulgar things…

Looking at her master’s smile now, the situation became incredibly awkward.

Just as Xian Ning was about to say something, Qin Rong’s voice came from the doorway. She moved like the wind and hugged Xian Ning tightly.

“I thought you had run away again.”

She sounded relieved but also a little wronged. Xian Ning patted her hand, comforting her. “I told you to stop overthinking things.”

Qin Rong buried her face in Xian Ning’s neck, rubbing against her neck and cheek like a spoiled cat.

Xian Ning glanced at her master and Elder Jiang, feeling a little embarrassed. She said in a stiff voice, “I won’t run. Say hello to Master and Elder Jiang first.”

Qin Rong looked up, surprised. “Master, why are you here?”

Peng Lian raised an eyebrow and exchanged a look with Jiang Hanjin. They weren’t surprised.

This girl only had eyes for her junior sister and couldn’t be bothered with anyone else.

“After we finished dealing with the demon clan, we happened to pass by here on our way back to the mountain, so we came to see you.”

Peng Lian looked Qin Rong over and saw that the demonic energy in her body had been completely removed. Xian Ning seemed fine as well.

She asked, “I heard Fan Hua say you swallowed the Heavenly Spirit Jade. Are you feeling alright?”

Xian Ning shook her head. “No. It doesn’t seem to have had any effect.”

Other than her cultivation improving, there were no other side effects for now.

“That’s good,” Peng Lian said, her expression relaxing. “But don’t let your guard down. The Heavenly Spirit Jade was in the demon clan’s possession for many years and was tainted with a lot of evil energy. It could be troublesome if it has a backlash. If you feel anything is wrong, you must tell us immediately so we can come up with a solution in time.”

Xian Ning felt a warmth in her heart. She smiled sweetly. “Okay, I’ll remember. Thank you, Master.”

Whether it was her or the original host, even after their cultivation had been stagnant due to the forgetfulness spell, her master had never looked down on her and had always cared for her deeply.

Her master was a true stroke of luck.

Peng Lian looked at Qin Rong, who had been trying to speak for a while. “What is it? Say what’s on your mind.”

Qin Rong knelt down in front of her, her voice serious and sincere. “Master, I want to marry Xian Ning.”

Jiang Hanjin frowned, her face solemn. “This is against the rules. Our sect has never had a precedent for disciples becoming cultivation partners.”

Qin Rong had no intention of backing down. She looked at Jiang Hanjin, her eyes filled with an unwavering resolve she had never shown before.

“Then we will be the first.”

Jiang Hanjin was about to say more, but Peng Lian stopped her. She looked at Qin Rong and let out a soft sigh.

“This child is too stubborn. She won’t change her mind easily once she’s made it up. Let them be.”

She knew what had happened. If it weren’t for a bit of luck, this child would have been ruined.

The thought of her prized disciple almost becoming a demon made her heart ache.

As long as she wasn’t murdering people or setting things on fire, she would let her do as she pleased. After all, the future of the immortal sects depended on them.

Jiang Hanjin didn’t press the matter further. Xian Ning suddenly realized that she seemed to have a lot more compassion than she thought.

“Get up. I’ll allow this. The two of you will come back with me to Jade Clarity Mountain and have your wedding there.”

“Thank you, Master!” Qin Rong was overjoyed, her eyes shining brightly.

Xian Ning bowed with her. Peng Lian said softly, “That’s enough. I’ll be thankful if the two of you don’t cause me more trouble.”

The two looked at each other and their eyes curved into a smile at the same time.

On the way back to the mountain, Peng Lian gave them a general overview of what happened to the demon clan.

They had forced them back into the demon territory and stationed disciples from the immortal sects on the outer perimeter. There should be no more trouble for the next hundred years.

Jing Ji was killed by the enraged beast while trying to escape. There was no trace of his body left.

As for Fan Hua, she was a little out of her mind after she woke up. They had intended to kill her, but Li Zhao pleaded for her life and offered to imprison her for life, with himself as the jailer.

Hearing this, Xian Ning seemed to understand something.

Qin Rong was not happy with this outcome. If Xian Ning hadn’t been unconscious at the time, she would have killed Fan Hua.

But since it was already over, she couldn’t say anything more.

However, if Fan Hua ever tried anything again, her sword would not hesitate to be stained with blood.

Qin Rong was usually quite reserved, but this time she couldn’t hide her joy. Within half a day of returning to the mountain, everyone in the sect knew she was going to marry Xian Ning. Xian Ning was confused why people kept coming to congratulate her until she found out that Qin Rong had been telling everyone, as if to announce it to the world.

Xian Ning laughed helplessly, accepting the blessings from her fellow disciples. She turned to look at the smug Qin Rong. “Why are you being such a show-off?”

Qin Rong replied righteously, “They asked first.”

“How did they ask? Did they ask if you had lunch and you said, ‘Yes, and Xian Ning and I are getting married’?”

Qin Rong was surprised. “How did you know?”

Xian Ning: “…” How could I not know?

Xian Ning pinched her face, a laugh in her voice. “Stop worrying. I’ll be with you forever, okay?”

Qin Rong didn’t say anything, just hugged her and rubbed her face against Xian Ning’s shoulder.

“A lifetime isn’t enough. I want the next one, and the one after that. We must be together for all eternity.”

“Alright, alright. Whatever you want.”

*******

On their wedding day, not only her fellow disciples but also important figures from other sects with close ties to the Jade Purity Sect or those who had disciples who became cultivation partners came to witness the ceremony.

The two, dressed in deep red robes, completed all the rituals in front of many respected elders.

The wedding banquet was a success. By the time the guests had all left, it was already nighttime. The two walked hand in hand to their wedding chamber, which was decorated with festive cheer, and sat down at a table to drink the ceremonial wine.

“You promised me. You have to be with me for all eternity. No take-backs.”

Qin Rong held her wine cup, wrapped her arm around Xian Ning’s, and looked at her with an intense gaze.

Xian Ning brought her wine cup to her lips and smiled. “No take-backs. But you have to remember me and come find me.”

A smile touched Qin Rong’s deep eyes. “I will definitely find you!”

After they finished their wine, the two took off their robes and went to bed. Xian Ning was exhausted after being on her feet all day and wanted to ask Qin Rong if they could go to sleep early. But when she turned around, she was met with Qin Rong’s deep, alluring eyes.

“Don’t even think about it.”

Xian Ning said, “I haven’t even said anything!”

“Whatever you were going to say, the answer is no. Tonight is our wedding night. We can’t waste it.”

Before Xian Ning could ask how to not waste it, she was already pushed onto the bed. Qin Rong showed her exactly how to not waste the night.

The night was bewitching, the bed sheets a mess of red, and the red candles burned all night.
