"The young master seems to have defeated a Holy Maiden from the Full Moon Sect, proving the effectiveness of the dicinal pills you invested in him!"
"???"
…..
"Why are you looking at like that?"
As the sunset painted the sky, the Green-haired girl blinked, her clear and warm eyes fixed directly on Yino.
Ruoning's recent words had touched Yino's heart deeply.
Truthfully, since his rebirth, very few people could move Yino's heart—except for his aunt. But Ruoning had succeeded.
Perhaps due to their childhood connection, Yino felt her eyes held a special tenderness—a charm he'd never discovered before, with an irresistible allure.
"You're only feeling so moved because you initially thought I'd be afraid of you because of your demonic arts!"
Ruoning crossed her arms, puffing out her cheeks slightly. Bathed in Yino's captivated gaze, she couldn't help but blush shyly, though she still tried to sound clever, huffing twice.
Yino's lips twitched, left speechless.
Because of Ruoning's portrayal in the ga, Yino had never truly considered her a potential wife. Yino was a practical man who would only invest emotions in won he could pursue who offered a good return on investnt.
Take the ill-fated senior sister of the Wuji Sect, for example. Yino was willing to give the Azure Forest's Heart directly to Yuyan because he was betting on her stock—certain that Yuyan's future would lead to a critical mont, which would be the perfect opportunity for him to swoop in.
People only truly cherish those who stand by them in desperate tis. Once he made Yuyan fall for him, the returns would be unimaginable.
In contrast, Ruoning? She was a heroine, a noble lady with a bright future of fa and fortune. In the original plot, her life was far smoother than Yuyan's. The more fortunate Ruoning's path, the less worthwhile it was for Yino to invest his feelings.
After all, happy people need love the least. Yino was almost inconsequential in Ruoning's life.
But now, unexpectedly, Ruoning seed to value emotions more than he had imagined.
Those childhood mories continued to appreciate in value!
"Silly..."
"Not everything in this world can be asured rationally!"

Suddenly, Ruoning spoke, her sweet smile pulling Yino back to reality.
Yino paused, and the girl put her hands behind her back, leaning forward to whisper near his ear with a mischievous softness:
"I'm not one of those narrow-minded demon-slaying types."
"To , our ten years of childhood mories are more precious than this world's so-called righteous and demonic paths!"
"Besides, you're so obtuse!"
"I helped you lie in the secret realm. Isn't the answer obvious without needing to ask?"
At the end, Ruoning laughed, pulling back from his ear and playfully poking Yino's nose.
Yino thought carefully and realized she was right. Xumo had nearly been driven mad by Ruoning, clearly showing she'd side with Yino regardless of reason.
"Sorry, I was a bit slow to understand..."
Yino sighed, feeling slightly awkward.
But Ruoning seed to have seen through his thoughts, puffing out her cheeks: "You don't have a slow mind. You've always treated like an outsider!"
Yino had no coback. Among his childhood friends, Ruoning understood him better.
He shrugged, changing the angle to ease the tension: "No matter. From today, you're my fiancée. We'll eventually share a bed and be family."
"Then... you can't make empty promises. Co to Jiangnan quickly after you're done in the Western Region!"
Whenever Yino got serious, Ruoning's face would imdiately blush, her speech becoming stamred—their long childhood friendship making his confession feel strangely jarring.
But while Ruoning was shy, Yino felt nothing unusual. He put his hands behind his back and said seriously: "I can do that. But now that we're engaged, I need so advance paynt to feel at ease."
"Advance paynt? What paynt?"
The girl's long eyelashes batted, looking puzzled.
Yino stared at her cherry lips, saying aningfully: "What if you change your mind after returning to Jiangnan and we're apart too long?"
"What? Impossible!"
"No, I need advance paynt."
"What... what do you want?"
Hearing this, Ruoning seed to sense sothing from Yino's possessive gaze.
Rembering what Yino did to Liuli in Azure Forest, she instinctively pressed her legs together under her dress, hugging her chest and looking warily at Yino.
"You can't be thinking..."
"My mother said that kind of thing can only happen after marriage..."
Being from a noble family, Ruoning was still sowhat hesitant about such matters.
Yino raised an eyebrow, feigning confusion: "Are their rules so strict that you can't even kiss?"
"Eh...?!"
Ruoning was surprised, blinking her beautiful eyes. She hadn't expected Yino to be so innocent, and she blushed even more.
"A kiss is definitely okay!"
"Then kiss ."
Yino didn't move, standing with his hands behind his back.
They'd been speaking softly to avoid others hearing.
"Kiss you... now?"
Ruoning tried to appear calm, but her wandering eyes betrayed her inner nervousness to Yino.
"Isn't this easier than publicly fulfilling that decade-old bet?"
"I guess... so..."
Ruoning fidgeted with her hands behind her back, her heartbeat quickening.
Her previous tension was just imagination, but now it was real—she was about to actually kiss Yino!
In a daze, the green-haired girl suddenly stepped forward, pressing her lips to Yino's cheek.
Because she was shorter, she had to stand on tiptoe, leaning forward. As her body weight pressed against Yino, he naturally wrapped his hands around her waist.
"Mm... mmm?"
Ruoning had finished kissing, but Yino still held her. She made confused sounds against his face.
"Cheek won't do. Lips to let you go," Yino silently opened his mouth, holding her even closer.
Ruoning naturally wrapped her arms around Yino.
After a mont's hesitation, she tilted her head and leaned in, pressing a sweet, deep kiss—
"Mm."
Yuyan stood nearby, feeling like she'd watched a silent play, witnessing the female lead kiss him. Her fist clenched, as if only now truly sensing a crisis.
