CH 125: New couple

CH 125

(nobody's POV)

Honestly, Ali had thought that it would take just a little while like everyone else, but the moment the drop of blood fell on the sealed Purple Black Peony, it began to glow a red light!

The light didn't stop glowing, it brightened by each second! And with it, Gui Mei's smile and nervousness while he watched Yue Guan focus!

As the red light brightened more and more, the sealed Purple Black Peony began to shake. It feels like Gui Mei body and soul was connected with the Purple Black Peony, because he also began to shake along with it!

And after a few more seconds of the sealed Purple Black Peony shaking as if it was in the center of a hurricane, it blossomed with a bright, lovely red light!

While holding the Purple Black Peony which was glowing from its red parts, Yue Guan shakily turned towards Gui Mei who had a speechless and amazed expression.

With a nervous and almost afraid face, Yue Guan bit his bottom lip as he slowly walked towards Gui Mei, his long time friend and brother :"M-Mei... I-I..."

He shakily took a deep breath before looking at Gui Mei with a determined but blushing face :"Mei, for a very, very long time... I... I have had... feelings for you. I know that it's wrong! B-but I...!"

But he was cut off while he had his eyes closed from nervousness and fear by Gui Mei suddenly grabbing his cheeks and kissing him on the lips!

Ali put his hand over his mouth as he smiled like a teenager girl finally seeing her friend getting together with her crush!

Yue Guan's eyes shot open in shock as he gasped when he finally understood what was happening!

His eyes began to shake as tears of happiness started forming in his eyes before he smiled into the kiss and returned it with excitement as the tears flowed down!

After a few seconds of kissing, putting all the love that was sealed inside for all these years, they parted.

Yue Guan looked at Gui Mei with uncertain, desperate eyes as he chocked out :"M-Mei, does that mean... That you also have feelings for me?"

A smile formed on Gui Mei's pale, handsome and tattooed face as he nodded with tearful eyes :"I do, Guan, I do!

I have had feelings for you for a very long time. But, I was always afraid that you wouldn't feel the same.

So I didn't want to ruin our friendship. Even if I could be by your side just as a friend and brother, I would be happy just by being by your side.

But now, I... I can finally let it all out. These feelings that have been hidden so deep inside my heart for so many years.

Yue Guan, I love you. I have for many years. I saw the prove that you also love me, but I still want to hear the words that I have dreamt about so many times. Do you... Accept my love? Do you also love me?"

A smile that was brighter than the sun in Gui Mei's eyes formed on Yue Guan's face as he nodded excitedly and with tears running down his eyes :"yes! Yes, Mei, I-I love you! I have for many years!"

The happiness was finally too much for Yue Guan to hold in as he started full on crying and throwing himself onto Gui Mei's guarded chest.

Gui Mei circled his arms around the smaller frame of the femboy beauty as two years also fell from his eyes :"you silly old fool, why are you crying? Shouldn't you be happy now?"

His words didn't calm down the smaller beauty as he squeezed his arms around his larger frame for dear like with the full strength of a level 96 douluo, in fear that he would suddenly go away :"waaah! I... I'm just so happy!

Waaaah, You don't know how much and for how long I've wanted this! And don't you dare call me old, you jerk! I'm always 20 years old!"

Gui Mei looked down at the beauty, at his beauty, who had pulled away to shoot him a warning glare as he touched a sore spot.

But the glare couldn't stop the fondness and love that was in his eyes, he knew that himself by looking into the eyes of Gui Mei who had the same expression.

The two started to chuckle while holding each other in their own little world. But they were pulled out of that world when they saw from the corner of their eyes Ali and Bibi Dong looking at them with gentle smiles, looking like an old married couple.

The two pulled away with embarrassment as they coughed into their fists to hide it :"we're very sorry for the shameful display, your holiness."

Ali raised his hand and shook it with a toothy smile :"no no, don't be! It's honestly satisfying to see you two finally getting together. Congratulations to the both of you! I'm really happy to see you two happy and together."

Bibi Dong beside him also nodded with an approving smile :"Xiao Ali's right. It's nice to see two of my most loyal subordinates finally finding their happiness. Congratulations."

The two titled douluos looked at each other before smiling and giving a bow to Bibi Dong :"thank you, your holiness."

They then turned to Ali as they both smiled :"And thank you as well, Xiao Ali. You have done us a great favor today."

Yue Guan smiled at him as he nodded :"mhm! He's right, Xiao Ali. Thank you so much, we will never forget this. Oh, and here you go."

He held out the slightly red glowing Purple Black Peony for Ali to take, but he just shook his hand with a smile :"you can keep that, it's the proof of your love after all~.

Since you managed to pluck it, it's a separate flower of itself now. And just like the Lovesick Heartbroken Scarlet, it will never wither.

It isn't consumable, but it has a nice scent and can relax the mood. Just keep it in your home or wherever you want and enjoy its beauty."

Yue Guan nodded with a smile as he looked at the Purple Black Peony with fondness and love while gently caressing it.

Gui Mei smiled with fondness while looking at his now lover before turning to Ali :"Xiao Ali, I will never forget what you have done for us today. Truly, thank you. Tell me, is there anything I can do to help you?"

Ali smiled as he chuckled lightly :"just one small request. It's about my other lover, Zhu Zhuqing. She doesn't have any teachers, would you please accept her as your disciple?"

Gui Mei immediately nodded without hesitation :"of course! Being so talented that she reached level 40 at such a young age, she is truly a genius.

I have never had a disciple, if I have one of such a talent, I will definitely be proud and do my best to help her!"

Ali nodded gratefully before a teasing smile made its appearance on his perfect face :"thank you, uncle Mei.

Oh, and when you accept her as your disciple, your problem of not being able to have children will be solved~."

A shy look took over the two before Yue Guan blushed, pouted and pinched Ali's cheek :"Xiao Ali, don't you think that you're rushing us at this point?"

Ali gave a chuckle that was muffled by his stretched cheek before he explained :"not at all. You see, by accepting her as a disciple, quite a few problems will be solved.

First, a very gifted individual with a high talent will join the martial soul hall. Second, uncle Mei will find a very talented disciple.

Third, since you don't have any children and can't have any unless you adopt one, and Zhuqing's family makes it so that you will think being an orphan is better, her and your problem will be solved.

Believe me, you know that I don't like to brag and will state facts, she is a very kind girl under that cold beauty demeanor.

Even though I have loved her as much as I could, the place of parents and a lover are still different things.

Once she becomes your disciple, I know that she will care a lot for the both of you. Her kindness is contagious, so I know that you will treat her kindly as well.

And besides! I have been calling you uncle Guan and uncle Mei for six years now! I don't mind calling you fathers in law!"

The new couple looked at each other before smiling bashfully and Yue Guan nodded with a small blush :"okay, we definitely treat her with kindness.

We have watched you grow up, so we know that you would never speak empty words. Once she comes here and becomes Mei's disciple, I will definitely try to spend some time with her.

I would definitely love to have a sweet daughter if she is willing. So? When are you going to bring her here?"

Ali gave a teasing, toothy smirk as he raised an eyebrow :"oh? Impatient to meet your future step daughter already?"

Yue Guan's cheeks grew even redder as he pinched Ali's cheek again :"you~! Can you give a break to the poor me after teasing me so much?"

Ali laughed as he pulled his cheek out of Yue Guan's delicate fingers :"never! Teasing you is just too much fun!

Haha, but anyway, don't worry. Just prepare yourselves and get used to your status as lovers for now.

You will be meeting her in the Continental Soul Master School Elite Tournament when we come to martial soul city."

His words caused Bibi Dong to frown as she cocked an eyebrow :"Xiao Ali, are you not going to participate as a member of the martial soul hall's team?

Ali raised his hands as he shrugged nonchalantly :"the only reason why I will join the Continental Soul Master School Elite Tournament is because of being able to fight and show off!

Who am I going to fight here? The only fighting the martial soul hall's team will do is at the third round of the tournament.

I will die of boredom till then! But don't worry, I am not planning on fighting AGAINST the martial soul hall's team either.

For the first and second round, I will participate as a member of the Shrek academy. But in the third round, I will return to the martial soul hall's team.

It will also be a great chance to reveal my real identity and show the world who the greatest genius in the entire world is."

Bibi Dong thought about it for a second before nodding in approval :"alright, I will allow that. You can have your fun, but then you will join the martial soul hall's team at the third round."

Just when she finished talking, a growl came from where Hu Liena was absorbing her sacred herb.

When they all turned towards her, sharp soul power waves emitted from her as she rose a few meters into the air.

They stopped talking as they focused on Hu Liena who was releasing soul power strong enough to shake things a bit!

Her martial soul, the charming fox appeared, but it seemed to be going through some changes!

As her martial soul growled lowly, it finally released a low roar before two extra tails grew from it!

It's appearance also changed slightly. Dark purple lines appeared on some parts of its body before it disappeared and Hu Liena descended on the ground.

She sighed softly before smiling and opening her beautiful eyes. Ali whoaed as he looked at her, it seems that since her martial soul evolved, her charm abilities also became stronger.

Even Ali's eyebrows twitched when she looked at his eyes. She smiled brightly before throwing herself into his embrace and kissing his cheek :"thank you, Ali! My martial soul really did evolve!"
