Wobbling Fairy's sniffles only ca to a slow stop hours later.
"I... I'm sorry... I don't know..."
Wobbling Fairy seed taken aback by her own words, and soon enough, when Ryu looked down, he found that a lot of the pure innocence in her eyes was gone.
But he had already expected this.
The reason Wobbling Fairy always had wine on hand was because her body was too special. Even wine that could knock a Dao God out could be purged as impurities from her.
If she wanted to stay drunk, not only did she need especially strong wine, she needed to be sipping at it constantly.
After spending hours on nothing more than crying, it wasn't a surprise that she had slipped out of her drunk state.
But what was surprising to her was that she had spent so long focused on crying that she didn't even realize when she slipped back into her "real" self. Usually, the
demarcating line was clear as day to her. But this ti, it wasn't until she spoke that she realized the change.
Ryu loosened his grip on her and looked down at her tear-stricken face. There was a calmness in his eyes that made her even more confused.
Should she be offended by how casually he was taking her grief? Or should she feel safe leaning against such a pillar of support?
She didn't know... and she also didn't know how much these thoughts were being colored by her dislike of Ryu either.
That was until Ryu cupped her cheeks and wiped her tears away with his thumbs.
For so reason, Wobbling Fairy found herself not resisting, and the confusion in her eyes only deepened.
What if this wasn't related to Ryu at all and she was really just so fragile that any hint of kindness had left her in a middling ss?
Of course, she had received her fair share of kindness in her life... but was it the right kind? Was it kindness directed at her "real" self? Or was it the innocent version of her everyone seed to like being around?
Even for Ryu, it seed that the only reason he was giving her a chance now was because of that innocent side of herself.
"Sotis living creatures are contradictory." Ryu suddenly said softly. "It's perfectly fine to clash with even yourself. There is no one person in the world that has a perfectly linear train of thought. Don't think that you either have to be one thing or the other."
Wobbling Fairy's eyes widened. Suddenly, her eyes were brimming with tears again, but she quickly wiped them away herself, feeling that it would be too embarrassing if she started crying again.
"You're coming with ." Ryu said.
"Huh?"
Wobbling Fairy was so numb to all the surprises that she didn't even quite know how to react to this one.
"You're coming with ." Ryu said. He didn't usually like to repeat himself, but for his won he seed to bend his own rules all the ti.
"What? Why?" Wobbling Fairy didn't know how to react.
"Why wouldn't a wife travel with her husband?"
Wobbling Fairy didn't even know what to say. Hadn't she already told Ryu that she wouldn't be his wife? How could one man be so shaless?
"Let's go."
Wobbling Fairy found herself being tugged along.
"What is your na?" Ryu asked. "Your real na."
Wobbling Fairy opened her mouth to respond, and then froze as though she had forgotten the answer. Her brows furrowed.
"You know your last na, at least. Right?" Ryu said with a grin.
Wobbling Fairy was rendered speechless again. But before she could react, her waist was swept into Ryu's arm and he appeared high above the Rebirthing Cultus Sect. Almost instantly, several gazes landed on the scene of the blushing Wobbling Fairy and Ryu whose face seed to be almost a little too proud right now.
"Today, I'll be announcing a union between your Sect's Wobbling Fairy and I, Ryu Tatsuya."
With Faeries and Fey of the Sect were taken aback again, but recalling the ti Ryu spent years in Wobbling Fairy's courtyard, they turned downcast soon after. Wobbling Fairy didn't even know how to call out and refute, and she didn't seem to have the strength to say the words at all.
Star River appeared in the skies with a frown on her face, staring daggers at Ryu. Wobbling Fairy was practically everyone's little sister. How could she just be swept up into marriage like this without anyone knowing?
And by the likes of this shaless bastard at that? That was just unacceptable.
"Objections?" Ryu asked innocently.
Star River looked toward Wobbling Fairy, only to find that she wanted to find almost anywhere to hide, even if that place was Ryu's chest.
Seeing her little sister in such a state, Star River already realized that Ryu was at the very least not lying entirely.
Star River also mistook the changes to Wobbling Fairy's temperant as the difference between a young maiden and a mature woman.
Though she had guessed wrongly, the conclusion was much the sa nonetheless.
Star River scowled, rembering the first words that Wobbling Fairy had spoken to Ryu and feeling even more aggrieved.
Little sister? Didn't you say you didn't like this man? How did you let him trick you anyway?
Star River's little nose wrinkled up and even as a Dao God she didn't seem mature
enough to hide it properly.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
"Stop!"
At that mont, Ryu heard a voice he hadn't heard in a while.
His wife's disciple... Rinushka.
He had no idea where she had gone, but her temper seed to be just as great.
"Stop what?" Ryu asked almost disinterestedly. He had suddenly gone from a man who looked to be joking around to one whose patience was wearing thin.
"I don't know what you've done to my little sister, but I'm going to make you pay for
it."
Ryu shook his head. "As my wife's disciple, you are technically my daughter in martial law now. I would advise you step down, lest. I be forced to embarrass you."
