Acceptance

Young Mistress An Guang turns her back as she calmly dries her body using her inner energy force before wearing her outfits. When she tries to dry her hair by using a soft towel, the handsome stranger takes the towel from her hand.

"Let me do it for you."

She stares into the large mirror before her to see that he is diligently yet gently dry off her hair.

"You are the Heavenly Lord aren't you? By stating that the Longevity Pearl belongs to you first, you are that person. The one that the Left Chancellor is somewhat wary of."

The stranger chuckles before he says, "My name is Zhenxin. An An, you can call me by my name only. There is no need for you to be formal with me. As my fiancee, you have the right to treat me as you like."

Young Mistress An Guang glares at the man standing behind her and thought, "What on earth do you mean by that? Who is your fiancee? Treat you as I wish? Am I looking for an early death? Heavenly Realm is a cut above the rest. Though Celestial Realm is a class of its own, Heavenly Realm is the creme of the crop of all Realms."

"Heavenly Lord Zhenxin, An Guang knows her place. An Guang does not wish to offend the Heavenly Realm."

Heavenly Lord Zhenxin smiles as he gently holds onto her shoulder and stares into the mirror as well, "An An, my people know that it is not wise for them to go against my will. I am supposed to be in seclusion to cultivate and undergone a trial but I abandoned it just for you. Though I steeled my heart and told myself that we will meet soon but U cannot help myself."

"Heavenly Lord Zhenxin, admitting that you are abandoning such a significant matter is not something you should be proud of. Aren't you the ruler of the Heavenly Realm?"

"Is that so? Aren't Ancestor Zu just the same as me? That old man has always skipped his responsibilities and let the Elders took care of 'business'..."

Young Mistress An Guang closes her eyes in exasperation before she says, "These carefree idiots are too much for me to handle... Zu Zu is already that old so he can be excused."

Heavenly Lord Zhenxin wanted to say something but he laughs and says, "Indeed... He is already that old. I am still young but my cultivation has exceeded him so I can take it easy and concentrate on you. You are fifteen now, it is the right time to ask your hand in marriage officially from your parents. Dark Lord An seems to be a bit unwilling when he signed the blood oath. Maybe Light Mistress Guang will be sympathetic towards my predicament."

Young Mistress An Guang sits on a rock nearby as she continues to watch him in a rather calm manner, "Almighty Heavenly Lord Zhenxin, my marriage matters will only be decided by myself. My parents would not force me to do something that I do not like."

Heavenly Lord Zhenxin takes a deep breath as he looks at her with a rather sorrowful gaze in his eyes, "An An, in your previous lifetime. I did not fight for your love because I thought you would be happy. And, I died during your first night due to a broken heart. Please let me be in your life in this lifetime. You will slowly fall in love with me sooner or later as I am an exceptional man."

Young Mistress An Guang who, at first, sympathize with him when she sees his rather sorrowful gaze and hears his sincere words felt that he is indeed a sincere man. But when she heard his last few words, she wanted to kick him to oblivion as she feels that this obviously good-looking man is rather conceited for his own good.

"Heavenly Lord..."

"Zhenxin."

"Heavenly..."

"Zhenxin gege."

Young Mistress An Guang takes a deep breath before she says, "Zhenxin, can you please leave. Sooner or later, someone will notice that I have taken more time than usual for my bath."

Heavenly Lord Zhenxin smiles and walks towards her. When he stands in front of her, he kneels on one of his knees as he stares into her face with a wide smile on his face.

"An An, thank you for giving me this chance. You will not regret it. An envoy from the Heaven Realm will come for a visit a month from now to officially ask permission from your parents for our engagement. Please do not reject my love..."

Young Mistress An Guang stares into his eyes and she sees his sincerity as she smiles and nods her head in reply. If this man is indeed her fated partner, she should let him prove his love towards her. He smiles at her before he pulls her into his embrace. She wanted to push him away but this gentle-looking man is somewhat too strong and she can only let him hug her.

Heavenly Lord Zhenxin is extremely happy to be able to hug her and as he hugs her, he can smell the fragrance from her hair and intoxicating fragrance from her body as well. He wanted to push her down on the ground and let him has his way on her but that will make her hate him so he gently strokes her smooth hair and calm himself down.

Young Mistress An Guang notices the sudden rise of heat coming out from his body and thought, "This pervert..."

"En... You caused me to be this way, An An. But I will not force you to do anything that you did not want to do. If need be, you are the one who will be doing the push downs."

"You can read my inner thoughts?"

Heavenly Lord Zhenxin chuckles and says, "Of course."

Before she could ask more, a loud voice suddenly says, "An An, are you done? You take quite a long time there. Are you alright?"

In a matter of seconds, Heavenly Lord Zhenxin has vanished into the thin air leaving Young Mistress An Guang all alone. She smiles and softly says, "He comes and goes according to his whim..."

Air Maiden Yangzi walks into the area and immediately check on the surroundings, "An An, why did you not call for assistance after you are done with your bath? Look at you... Changing on your own. Is there someone else in here?"

"Yangzi... I can change on my own. Anyway... Let us go back to my sleeping chamber. I feel quite sleepy."

Air Maiden Yangzi smiles and says, "En... Let us go then."
