TSFLIP Chapter 395

“Ma-Marriage?” She raised her head in surprise.

Thinking she was unwilling, he hurriedly said, “I understand. For a cultivator, you’re still quite young. Normally, you wouldn’t want to marry so soon. But I promise I will treat you well. I will… always cherish you, holding you close to my heart.”

This was the first time he had ever spoken words of affection—not only did it leave Fengguang completely captivated, but it also made his face flush slightly.

“It’s not that I don’t want to marry you,” she said hesitantly. “It’s just… I feel like we’re moving a little fast…” They had only just confirmed their relationship, and now they were already talking about marriage?

Fang Yue gave a bitter smile. “It’s not fast… because I will marry you once I’ve cleared my name.”

But when would that be?

The one behind all of this was the master who had raised him. And all of it—just because of jealousy. How ridiculous was that? The esteemed, detached, and supposedly unworldly Daoist Yimu, feeling jealous of his disciple?

Fengguang could sense the turmoil in his heart. Feeling a pang of sympathy, she leaned in and kissed the corner of his eye. “Don’t be afraid. I’ll be with you.”

“Fengguang…” His slender fingers slid into her long, ink-black hair, stroking it gently from the crown of her head down to where it cascaded over her waist, left loose without a hairpin. A soft smile curved his lips. “You won’t leave me, will you?”

“Mm… I won’t leave you.” She rested her cheek lightly against his chest, a storm of emotions swirling inside her.

The system had barely appeared in this world. Did that mean everything was up to her to decide? Or… did it mean that even if she chose to be with Fang Yue, the system had silently accepted it?

Fang Yue continued stroking her silky black hair before pressing a kiss to the top of her head.

Doctor Sun, despite his unreliable demeanor, was undeniably skilled. Just as he had promised, within ten days, Fang Yue was able to get out of bed and walk.

But Fengguang didn’t dare let her guard down. His injuries had been severe—she needed to take good care of him.

Sitting at the counter, Doctor Sun spat out a melon seed shell and muttered sarcastically, “What’s the fuss about? It’s just an injury. You’re fussing over him like a woman in confinement after childbirth.”

“Shut up!” Fengguang snapped at him while helping Fang Yue.

Fang Yue chuckled and patted her head, soothing her like one would a ruffled cat.

Doctor Sun clicked his tongue. “Tsk, tsk. This guy’s just a quiet, boring one. What’s so good about him? I don’t get what you see in him, little girl.”

“Fang Yue is handsome,” Fengguang answered without hesitation. Then she lifted her head to look at him again. She saw the gentle warmth in his gaze, the way he looked at her with such deep affection that made her heart race. “And… he likes me. And I like him.”

Doctor Sun shook his head, pretending to sigh. “Tsk, tsk, tsk… Such a shameless little girl.”

“None of your business!”

“Hmph, I couldn’t care less. Since he can walk now, take him outside for a stroll. Moving around will help strengthen his muscles and bones.” With that, Doctor Sun picked up his abacus and clicked the beads. “By the way, his medical expenses were covered by your white jade hairpin.”

“Hey!” Fengguang stomped her foot in protest.

Doctor Sun threw up his hands. “What? What?”

Fang Yue lowered his gaze to her and said gently, “It’s alright. Even though I was unconscious that day, I heard your conversation. I know… you used your white jade hairpin to exchange for medicine for me.”

“I… I didn’t mean to hide it from you…” She blinked at him pitifully, her eyes filled with guilt. Anyone who could still blame her after that surely had no heart.
