With the threat of Yue vanquished, peace returned to the ethereal realm, allowing Li Mei and Zhang Wei to immerse themselves in their love. The days that followed were filled with laughter, shared dreams, and quiet moments of intimacy, strengthening their bond further.
One afternoon, as they strolled through a vibrant meadow filled with blooming flowers, Li Mei turned to Zhang Wei, her eyes sparkling with mischief. "What do you think our future holds?" she asked, playfully twirling a blossom between her fingers.
Zhang Wei stopped, a thoughtful expression on his face. "I see a life full of adventures, challenges, and joy. But most importantly, I see us—together."
Li Mei's heart fluttered at his words, and she felt a surge of love for him. "Together," she echoed softly. The thought of a shared future filled her with warmth.
Later that evening, as the sun set in a blaze of colors, they sat together on a hill overlooking the valley. The sky transformed into a canvas of oranges and pinks, creating the perfect backdrop for a moment Li Mei had been longing for.
"Li Mei," Zhang Wei began, his voice steady yet filled with emotion. "You have filled my life with light. I want to spend my days with you, exploring every corner of this realm and beyond. I want to face every challenge together. Will you marry me?"
Li Mei's breath caught in her throat, and tears of joy welled in her eyes. "Yes! A thousand times, yes!" She threw her arms around him, and Zhang Wei lifted her off her feet, spinning her in a joyful embrace.
