Volume 1: The Genius Doctor's Hidden Edge Chapter 61 - Sudden Engagement (Part 2)

  "Ah! None of my business!" Seeing Su Zhen Nan pounce towards him, Duan Wuji hastily withdrew his hand and swiftly leapt to another tree to avoid the attack, panting heavily as he cursed: "You... you want my life?!"

  "Like water, you... how..." He was anxious and angry, hastily putting his outer garment that had been scratched by the wolf's claws on her body, covering up her suddenly exposed spring light.

  At this moment, I knew I was in a sorry state. Seeing Emperor Xian and several others gathering the wolf pack and looking over, my eyes involuntarily reddened: "There are four-legged snakes on my body..."

  As soon as he heard, Su Zhen Nan glanced at her body and saw the four-legged snake lying on her chest. His eyes sank, his palm exerted martial power, and with a wave of his hand, without touching her body, the four-legged snake was swept up by the airflow and flew into mid-air. Several sword lights flashed, and with a few whooshing sounds, it was cut into several segments and scattered on the ground.

  Tang Xin glanced at him, then turned to look under the tree, where a group of wolf corpses lay, and the strong smell of blood wafted up, causing her to cover her nose and mouth with her hand while leaning against the trunk. Her expression seemed as if she had been frightened by the bloody scene below.

  Seeing herself in such a state of disarray in front of several people, Su Ruo Shui hastily closed her outer garment to cover up the exposed skin, while lowering her head in shame and not daring to look at their expressions.

  "Tang Xin, it's alright, don't be afraid." Emperor Mo flew to her side and gently patted her slightly trembling back.

  "Are you hurt?"

  "It's just a superficial wound, nothing serious." He said nonchalantly, but upon smelling the strong scent of blood below, he suggested: "Let's change locations first. When day breaks, we'll head back!" Originally planning to come to Mount Floating Clouds for a leisurely trip, who knew they'd encounter something like this.

  "Alright, let's go!" Several people nodded and only then did they find a clean place to bandage their wounds.

  At noon, in the town closest to Mount Floating Clouds, Tang Xin was eating a bowl of vegetables with her head down, while Emperor Mo occasionally helped her pick up some dishes. Liu Shaobai and Duan Wuzhi sat opposite them, while Su Ruoshui, due to last night's awkwardness, had already returned to the Imperial City in the company of Su Zhen Nan as soon as they left Mount Floating Clouds.

  "Come on, eat some more."

  There was an extra piece of pork rib in her bowl, she looked up and saw Di Shang smiling at her with a refined and elegant smile. The gentle gaze and the doting expression made her blush involuntarily, she responded softly and continued eating.

  As he gazed at her rare shy expression, his heart skipped a beat, thumping rapidly, that joy was inexpressible, that satisfaction couldn't be compared to winning first place in the Imperial City martial arts competition. Suddenly, an impulsive thought surged up in his mind.

  He wants to marry her! Let her be his woman!

  Liu Shaobai opposite looked at him, holding a cup of wine in one hand and a fan in the other, smiling: "Ah! I'm really envying you to death."

  Duan Wuji couldn't help but feel puzzled, and he had originally wanted to give Tang Xin some side dishes as well. However, when he saw Di Shang Mo sitting next to her, he forcibly restrained himself.

  Di Shang looked at them for a moment, then said: "Tang Xin, find some time to accompany me back home, okay?"

  She raised an eyebrow slightly: "To your home?"

  "Uh, I want my parents to meet you."

  "Isn't this... going too fast?"

  "Just pretend we're going on a trip, I think my mother will definitely like you."

  As she saw his gentle gaze fall on her, Tang Xin hesitated for a moment: "Let's talk about this later!" Although she had a good feeling towards him, it seemed that she still couldn't distinguish whether this good feeling was because she loved him or because he had saved her before and triggered a good impression.

  "Alright, have it your way." He nodded and helped her pick up some dishes: "Here, try this one."

  "Hey, have you guys heard? The number one estate in the world seems to be getting ready for a wedding. Two days ago, a friend of mine said that the master of the Di Estate sent someone with great fanfare to deliver betrothal gifts, heading straight for the Imperial City to propose marriage for his son!"

  "Really? I heard that Di Shang Mo got first place in the imperial city's martial arts competition, he's a dragon among men, which family's daughter is lucky enough to marry him?"

  "The Su family, the imperial city's Su family, is also one of the top aristocratic families. And Miss Su Ruo Shui is the number one beauty in the imperial city. This couple can be said to be a match made in heaven, with the talented young man and beautiful woman making people envy!"

  Listening to the conversation from another table, Emperor Xian's hand paused, his eyebrows furrowed slightly. His father personally went to the Su family to propose a marriage for him? Why didn't he tell him about this? He glanced at Tang Xin, but saw that she seemed not to have heard anything, her expression unchanged, and his heart skipped a beat.

  Liu Shaobai raised an eyebrow, looking at the two of them with a hint of a smile on his lips and amusement in his eyes. This was something they would have to face sooner or later, but he hadn't expected it to happen so soon. He was actually a bit curious about how things would play out.

  "Di Shang Mo, how can you do this? If you want to marry Su Ruo Water, why are you teasing Tang Xin?" Duan Wu Zhi stared at him with wide eyes, muttering under his breath: "And still competing with me, what a scoundrel!"

  Looking at her calm expression, he felt a tightness in his chest and frowned, saying in a low voice: "I don't know about this matter, but I won't marry Su Ruo Shui." As soon as the words fell, he grasped one of her hands: "Tang Xin, after we go back, I'll tell my father about our affair."
