Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

Chapter 1095: Casanova Erha, Making a Name in Baiyu!



A single thought, heaven.

A single thought, hell.

Life, or death!

To ascend the peak of life, or to reincarnate anew.

Standing at this crossroads that determines the future of his life, Xu Ying gritted his teeth fiercely and chose to trust Erha's judgment.

Swish!

Xu Ying abruptly rose to his feet, braving the icy longsword aimed at him.

If not for Lan Ruoxi's keen reflexes, retreating half a step at the critical moment, that sword would have already pierced Xu Ying's neck.

Lan Ruoxi's breathing grew slightly hurried.

Her delicate brows furrowed slightly.

As she watched Xu Ying rise, a trace of disappointment and mockery flashed deep in her eyes. She inwardly thought: "As expected, just another man trying his luck. As long as he can use me to connect with Grandfather, he'll achieve fame and fortune. Love? What love exists in this world..."

Yet...

Just as Lan Ruoxi prepared herself to accept Xu Ying's departure,

she suddenly noticed Xu Ying gazing at her with deep affection.

Uh...

Lan Ruoxi's whole body trembled.

What kind of look is this?

Why does it make me feel so hot all over?

What exactly is going on with Xu Ying?

Lan Ruoxi herself hadn't realized that her heart was somehow beginning to grow restless, even faintly expectant.

Xu Ying stared at Lan Ruoxi with utmost seriousness.

He could clearly feel the edge of the sword was just 0.3 inches away from his neck; if the woman before him trembled slightly, she could cut his throat.

In this moment...

Xu Ying decided to put to use Erha's ultimate secret technique and say the words to Lan Ruoxi standing before him.

He didn't know what the outcome would be after saying those words.

Would it be as Erha said, that Lan Ruoxi might fall for him?

Or would he be killed outright by her?

But he decided to gamble!

Hoo...

Xu Ying exhaled a long breath of cloudy air, and a glimmering tear rolled down from the corner of his eye, landing with a tick on the edge of the sword. It was like an invisible string quietly plucking at Lan Ruoxi's heart. Xu Ying gazed at her with deep affection and said in a slightly gravelly, low voice, "Ruoxi, from the very first mission I undertook with you, I deeply fell in love with you. I have told myself many times, even if the world turns to ruin, even if seas dry up and rocks crumble, even if mountains of swords or oceans of fire stand between us, I will chase after you, I will be with you. But..."

Xu Ying's voice grew deeper and deeper, alternating between despair, hesitation, and resolve.

"When I saw those seniors who were more outstanding, stronger than me confessing to you and pursuing you, I chose to silently retreat, watching from that dark corner where you couldn't see me, blessing you from afar. I thought they could bring you greater happiness. Yet..."

"Every time I saw you rejecting them one by one, every time I saw you hurt by those false suitors, my heart ached so much it was hard to breathe. Every time you resolutely dismissed each scheming pursuer, my heart felt as if it were being slashed open!"

"Until today, I finally gathered my courage and decided to tell you the words I've hidden deep within my heart for so long but never dared to say..."

Xu Ying let out a long sigh.

He placed his hands behind his back and stood firm.

At this moment...

Xu Ying entered into a certain rhythm.

He could already feel Lan Ruoxi's hand, which gripped the sword, slightly tremble—a sign his words were beginning to move her.

Truly impressive, Erha!

What Erha taught him truly worked!

Xu Ying's heart steadied further. According to Erha, he had already succeeded halfway. Raising his head slightly, he closed his eyes and said, "Once, there was a sincere love before me, but I didn't cherish it. If Heaven were to grant me another chance, I would definitely say three words to that girl..."

"Wha- what three words?" Lan Ruoxi asked reflexively.

Her eyes were already turning red.

Xu Ying spoke, enunciating each word with gravity: "I! Love! You!"

Hiss!

Lan Ruoxi's body trembled.

Her delicate hand gripping the sword shook visibly.

Her heartbeat accelerated.

Her breathing grew hurried.

A flush spread across her face.

Xu Ying was overjoyed and seized the momentum. Facing Lan Ruoxi, their gazes locked, he spoke earnestly and emotionally: "If I must add a time limit to this love, I hope it is..."

"For!"

"A!"

"Lifetime!"

Clang!

Lan Ruoxi's longsword fell to the ground. Her face was already awash with tears.

It's done!

Xu Ying was stunned.

He hadn't expected to actually succeed!

As Xu Ying stood dazed, he suddenly saw Erha frantically waving its paws, its dog face full of urgency.

Xu Ying's heart skipped a beat, recalling Erha's instructions for the final step.

He stepped forward abruptly.

One hand pulled Lan Ruoxi's slender waist into his embrace, while the other cradled the back of her neck.

Their eyes met once again.

"Ruoxi, I love you!"

Xu Ying spoke lovingly. Without giving her time to react, he leaned in and kissed her deeply.

This kiss lasted an eternity!

Hiss!

All the onlooking experts were dumbfounded and exclaimed: "Wh- whoa, Xu Ying actually succeeded?!"

"Unbelievable. He actually managed to win over the notoriously unapproachable one?"

"What's so unbelievable? Xu Ying was so sincere, and he was deeply devoted to Senior Sister Lan Ruoxi. They're truly a match made in heaven!"

"Exactly! A good man like Senior Brother Xu Ying deserves someone like Senior Sister Lan Ruoxi!"

"Sob, sob... If someone loved me like Senior Brother Xu Ying loves her, I would definitely say yes too..."

In that moment.

Whispers rippled through the crowd.

Xiao Yi and his group exchanged glances.

Xiao Yi laughed helplessly: "Who would have thought Erha had such skills? Under this kind of assault, even a woman with a heart of steel wouldn't stand a chance, right?"

Little Lin stroked his chin thoughtfully: "I noticed there are quite a few people here who are struggling to win their beloved's heart. If Erha charged them for help, wouldn't there be endless business opportunities?"

Jin Yi crossed his arms and spoke sternly: "When do we start? Count me in!"

Da Heng: "..."

Xiao Yi: "..."

Meanwhile...

Xu Ying was already holding the bashful Lan Ruoxi's hand, and the two of them approached Erha.

Lan Ruoxi asked curiously: "Xu, this dog is?"

Xu Ying said solemnly: "Ruoxi, this is Erha, our benefactor. Without its help, I wouldn't have had the courage to confess to you, nor could I have touched your heart."

"Ah? So that's how it is!"

Lan Ruoxi suddenly understood. "I did find it odd earlier—Xu Ying, you're not someone who would say such words."

"Hehe, though those words were Erha's guidance, they are all my true feelings!" Xu Ying scratched his head awkwardly.

"Hmph!"

Lan Ruoxi snorted softly. Then she and Xu bowed together toward Erha, saying, "Thank you, Erha, for bringing the two of us together!"

"Bringing lovers together is merely my duty!" Erha patted its chest and laughed heartily.

Little did they know...

This scene would soon be spread everywhere.

In no time...

Throughout the Sacred Baiyu Domain, tales spread of a dog—a Love Sage.

Countless lonely singles within Baiyu, who had struggled for years without success, flocked to seek guidance from Erha.

This newfound fame greatly boosted Little Lin and his team's business ventures, earning them a fortune.

However...

These events did not hinder the unfolding of the marriage proposal assembly.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day...

A resonant chime echoed from the four major cities simultaneously.

Everyone opened their eyes and looked toward the central square of each city: "The marriage proposal assembly has begun!"
