At this mont, the faceless old eunuch seated at the sa table suddenly said in a quiet voice, "I may be a eunuch, but I am still a man. If soone were to show such favor, I would marry them. If there were two, I would marry both. I would cherish, love, and spoil them at ho. Doesn't a man need to have this kind of responsibility?"
Mr. Tantai laughed and said, "That's exactly how one should live life!"
Mr. Weichi laughed too, "Absolutely!"
When these three n voiced their thoughts, the others couldn't help but whisper in agreent.
Chu Mo raised his eyebrows slightly.
Nayi suddenly gave a soft smile, her face blushing, as she looked at Chu Mo and said, "I want to...hear your honest thoughts. Although I...I also hope that you could accept this matter, what I desire most is... for you to follow your heart."
Whew!
A smile spread across Chu Mo's face, as he said, "Having such a beautiful woman like the princess show favor to ...is indeed a blessing that will take several lifetis to deserve."
Upon hearing the word 'princess', a glint of surprise flashed across Nayi's eyes, followed by a hint of shyness. However, her expression quickly turned gloomy, for being cunning as she was, she heard the underlined aning in Chu Mo's words. She asked, her voice trembling slightly, "But what...?"
Chu Mo shook his head, smiling, "There are no 'buts'."
"No 'buts'?" Nayi was taken aback for a mont. Then, her eyes radiated with imnse hope as she gazed at Chu Mo, seemingly infatuated.
Chu Mo looked at Nayi with tenderness, "I'm not as good as you imagine."
"I'm willing." The daughter of the Prairie, who was bold in love and hate, said this sentence without hesitation, although she was a bit shy.
"Then, give so ti, okay?" Chu Mo looked at Nayi sincerely, "There are so things that I need to sort out first. If I agreed improptuously, it would be not only disrespectful to the other person, but also disrespectful to you."
Nayi nodded her head cheerfully without any signs of discontent, "I can wait as long as it takes!"
"It will not take too long!" Chu Mo reassured.
At that mont, Long Qiushui picked up a cup of water, as she was still breastfeeding and was unable to drink wine. Her status alone demanded respect and all the attendees, including the faceless old eunuch, had to give her due respect. Everyone's attention shifted towards Long Qiushui.
"Our son Moe, has already said enough, hasn't he? Isn't that so, my future granddaughter-in-law?" Long Qiushui turned to Nayi and gave a soft smile.
Even a fervorously passionate woman of the Prairie like Nayi couldn't help but blush in shyness at being addressed as 'granddaughter-in-law'. She lowered her blushing face shyly.
"I propose, let's have a toast!" Long Qiushui suggested.
"Cheers!" All the attendees raised their glasses, their faces filled with warm smiles.
Everyone was in high spirits during the al, which lasted till late into the night.
After dinner, Chu Mo went to his grandfather's room.
A father again in his old age, he was naturally elated. However, he remained worried over the last couple of years due to the lack of news about Chu Mo. But now, seeing his grandson return safe and sound, he let loose and had a few more drinks than usual.
In the study, Long Qiushui gently prepared tea for the both of them before leaving with a smile.
She had to take care of others who were also drunk, like Nayi.
Watching Long Qiushui leave, Chu Mo smirked and gave his grandfather a thumbs-up, "Grandpa, you're truly fortunate. Finding grandma is the greatest luck of your life!"
Fan Wudi gave Chu Mo a glance, admonishing with a stern face, "No respect for your elders!" He hid his broad grin behind a teacup.
"You are luckier than ! Isn't Nayi such a great girl? She's outgoing and enthusiastic, but also cultured. Most importantly, she's the queen of the Prairie!" The grandfather looked at Chu Mo and said.
"Your grandson isn't bad either," Chu Mo replied, "Your grandson is the King of the Great Chu Kingdom after all!"
"Enough! Without Yani and Fufu, your title of 'King' would still be just a title till today," rebuked Fan Wudi.
Chu Mo nodded in agreent, "That's true."
"So, I don't understand why you have always been hesitant to accept Nayi? From my perspective, this is an extrely good matter." Fan Wudi looked at Chu Mo with a serious expression, "We're not talking about a political marriage here, but the fact is, if you two unite, the relationship between the Chu Kingdom and the royal court of the Prairie will beco even closer! Even if it's the Great Xia..."
ntioning the Great Xia, the old man heaved a sigh. A trace of sorrow flickered in his eyes.
He had painstakingly fought many battles for the Great Xia for half his life, only to be rewarded with a proposal of execution in return. His heart was completely cold now.
"The Great Xia has never been a threat," Chu Mo replied with an indifferent smile, "Haven't your grievances been avenged by your grandson, grandpa?"
Fan Wudi appeared taken aback. The effect of the alcohol seed to wear off, and he looked at Chu Mo, "What did you do? I heard that as soon as you appeared....you went to the Great Xia and...you got involved in a fight with soone from the palace?"
Chu Mo nodded, "Indeed, I killed the palace's guardian."
"..." Fan Wudi was completely shocked and looked at Chu Mo, "Is it that elder-level powerhouse from the Heavenly Sword Sect? I recall...that man seed to be at the Innate Realm..."
Chu Mo nodded, "Correct."
"You, you killed an Innate Realm powerhouse?" Fan Wudi's face expressed disbelief as he looked at Chu Mo.
"Not only did I kill that man, but I also visited the Heavenly Sword Sect and exterminated all the powerhouses that injured back then," Chu Mo said with a slight smile. Yet, his eyes were filled with a cold determination, "Those people had wanted my life on several occasions. I couldn't just take their hits passively and not show any resistance, could I?"
"My...My goodness...What realm are you in now?" The old man's expression was of pure disbelief as he looked at Chu Mo.
His grandson was still his beloved grandson, but Chu Mo had changed to an extent that made the old man feel a sort of disconnection.
In just two years, how could his grandson have experienced such drastic changes? This... was truly hard to believe.
Chu Mo looked at his grandfather, speaking with so emotion, "In this mortal world, I originally only had you, my grandfather, as my kin. Now, there are so many more people. Regardless, I have to protect all of you. If anyone dares to be your enemy, I will never let them off!"
The old man's eyes welled up with tears, "I know, grandson. I understand your heart."
When the old man found Chu Mo, he knew the child was not ordinary. But he had never imagined that Chu Mo would achieve such great things.
Seeing Chu Mo grow up to be so successful, the old man was truly joyful.
"As for why my strength has progressed so quickly in just two years, I believe you will know soon," Chu Mo said mysteriously, a hint of a smile on his face, "For now, I will keep it a secret."
"You, naughty boy..." The old man jokingly scolded, unaware of Chu Mo's "You will know soon," and how that would bring extraordinary opportunities for them all. (To be continued.
