Adopting A Stray Cat Chapter 1203: Ten Years

Chapter 1203: Chapter 1203: Ten Years

Wen Xuan shook the Dreamy Snow Jade Flute in his hand and said gently, "To thank you for the Dreamy Snow Jade Flute, I specially brought you so gifts."

"What gifts?" Perhaps she was familiar enough, Qin Sisi didn’t bother to be polite.

Wen Xuan took out so sheet-like items similar to leather from the storage ring, which had various patterns on them.

"What are these..." Qin Sisi had never seen these things before.

Wen Xuan explained, "These are designs of so weapons and magical defense equipnt. Don’t you want to beco a high-level forgemaster? Just by relying on your imagination, what you make might lack elegance. Following these designs would make them look more exquisite."

Qin Sisi’s face showed a joyful smile. These were exactly what she needed. Recently, she had felt problems in this aspect. For example, the magical defense equipnt forged in Seven Pearl City using the stones from the Yin-Yang Cave, though effective, was clumsy in style, which would inevitably affect the price.

She repeatedly examined these designs. The weapons and magical defense equipnt were all exquisite and cleverly designed. If she could forge them, not only would her forging skills improve, but the prices of her forging items would also increase significantly.

"Thank you." Qin Sisi expressed her gratitude to Wen Xuan.

"Thank

for what? I should be the one thanking you." The two exchanged pleasantries and then laughed together.

Qin Sisi put away the designs and asked with concern, "How are you doing now?"

Wen Xuan raised his head, thought for a mont, and said, "Overall, quite well. Assisting Great Grandfather in managing Miaoyin City, I’ve learned a lot."

The Great Grandfather Wen Xuan referred to was Chief Chixun, who was Wen Xuan’s grandfather’s elder brother.

Recalling how Wen Xuan had teased her earlier, Qin Sisi gossiped, "Has your great grandfather talked about marriage for you, wanting to hug great-grandchildren soon?"

Wen Xuan was taken aback and replied with a bitter smile, "You hit the nail on the head. Not just Great Grandfather, my grandfather, and my parents as well—everyone’s concerned about my marriage. It’s really unbearable!"

Qin Sisi laughed and couldn’t help but chuckle. After laughing, she half-jokingly and half-seriously said, "In that case, why not go along with them? Have you t any girl that moves your heart?"

Wen Xuan’s smile beca a bit stiff, and his eyes looked aside as he answered vaguely, "Not at the mont, so I don’t plan to consider this matter for the next few years. I want to learn more things and also strengthen my magic power."

Wen Xuan spoke righteously, but Qin Sisi, being sharp, sensed that Wen Xuan’s evasive eyes seed to be hiding sothing.

Qin Sisi hesitantly asked, "Wen Xuan, do you already have soone in your heart?"

The always gentle and calm Wen Xuan surprisingly blushed slightly upon hearing this question.

Qin Sisi beca more convinced of her guess and couldn’t help but pursue further, "Who is it? Do I know her?"

Wen Xuan sighed and said, "Never mind, I might as well tell you. After all, it’s all in the past now."

Qin Sisi blinked at Wen Xuan. She hadn’t realized that Wen Xuan actually had a girl he liked.

After pausing for a while and showing a hint of wistfulness in his eyes, Wen Xuan asked softly, "You’ve been to Midair City, is Li Li... is she doing well?"

"Li Li?" Qin Sisi looked at Wen Xuan in astonishnt. Could it be Li Li?

Wen Xuan sighed and continued, "I heard she personally killed Jiu Ge’s mother. Although Jiu Ge did not kill her, he certainly wouldn’t keep her by his side. However, Li Li ultimately couldn’t bear to leave Jiu Ge and still remained in Midair City. Actually, I knew long ago that in her eyes, in her heart, there was only Jiu Ge. I just felt it was unworthy for her."

Qin Sisi was silent for a mont, then softly said, "Whether it’s worth it or not, it’s her own choice."

Wen Xuan nodded and said solemnly, "I know, I won’t interfere with her choice. I just want to wait a few more years. In case one day, she suddenly figures it out, lets go, and leaves Jiu Ge, maybe I’ll have a chance."

Qin Sisi slightly shook her head, "The likelihood of that is very slim, you could even say there is none."

Wen Xuan smiled wryly, "I know the chances are small, but if I never experienced waiting, I’m afraid I’ll regret it later."

Qin Sisi looked at Wen Xuan and asked, "How long do you plan to wait?"

Wen Xuan thought for a mont and replied, "Ten years. After ten years, if she is still wholeheartedly by Jiu Ge’s side, I’ll let it go and seek my own happiness."

Qin Sisi couldn’t persuade in any way. Li Li chose to protect Jiu Ge, Wen Xuan chose to wait for Li Li, Jing Jing chose to love Qing Xun with her life—these are their own choices, neither right nor wrong, just obsessions of the heart.

Wen Xuan is willing to wait, so let him wait. Ten years is not long for a magic practitioner.

"Does she know you’re waiting for her?" Qin Sisi asked, thinking that if Li Li had no clue about this, Wen Xuan’s wait would be aningless.

"She probably knows." Wen Xuan’s voice was very low. That elegant and fierce face always intruded into his mind so unexpectedly.

Back then, he hadn’t activated his Wind Attribute magic. He and Qin Sisi struggled to find the Hollow Spirit Spin in Wind Valley. It was Li Li who gave him the Fixed Wind Bead, allowing him to reach the Hollow Spirit Spin as quickly as possible to activate the Wind Attribute magic.

On the first Water Magic class when he couldn’t cross Tianshui Lake, it was Li Li who helped him travel with the wind. That ti, Li Li held his hand. Her hand was cold, like her expression, and Wen Xuan felt a desire to warm it up.

In the final assessnt, Li Li lost to Qin Sisi by one point, but she showed no hint of regret, grievance, or anger. She remained dignified and composed.

She always wore black and red attire, clear and handso like ice, pure and sharp like the wind, free and easy.

Upon graduating and leaving the Heavenly Magic God’s Castle, Wen Xuan bravely invited Li Li to visit Miaoyin City, but Li Li flatly refused, saying she only wanted to return to her master’s side as soon as possible and wouldn’t go anywhere else.

At that mont, Wen Xuan realized that this wind-like woman was soone he might never have.

Later, after hearing about the enmity and love entanglent between Li Li and Jiu Ge in Midair City, Wen Xuan wrote a letter to Li Li containing only a few words: "I wait for you, ten years."

Wen Xuan’s affection for Li Li was just like Li Li’s attitude towards victory and defeat, dignified and composed.

If he waits and succeeds, it is a blessing, a joy; if not, it’s understandable, and there’s no need for regret.

Ten years is a promise Wen Xuan made to Li Li and to himself.

If ultimately nothing cos of it, he will let it go. The rest of his life is long, and he will et many people and see many sceneries. There will be people and things that can fill the blank space in his heart.
