On the way to the Heavenly Realm, while passing through the mortal world, Kua Fu cautiously came to a halt.
He seemed afraid of stepping on something precious, taking each step with utmost care as he hopped forward, treading lightly on the mounds of earth.
Curiously, I looked at the tiny creatures below, no larger than ants, and couldn't help but ask, "Are these... humans?"
Kua Fu stared intently at the ground and replied simply and decisively, "Yes!"
I glanced at the sparse crowd on the ground and then at Kua Fu's serious expression filled with compassion for these beings. It touched a soft spot deep within me.
That place is called kindness.
I thought to myself that the deities were mistaken... Brothers and sisters should not shine together in this world, especially when it was in such dire straits.
Slowly, I closed my eyes, unable to bear another glance at the tragic scene. But just as I shut my eyes, a wave of excruciating pain suddenly surged through me.
"Kua... Fu..." I murmured weakly, "I want to..."
Before I could finish the word "vomit," I lost control and began to heave.
In an instant, flames erupted wildly from my stomach. With a loud boom, the entire mountain peak was engulfed in roaring fire.
Seeing this, Kua Fu quickly set me down gently on a nearby peak and without hesitation rushed into the flames. Noticing there were no villagers on the mountain, he immediately began to lift countless boulders and throw them onto the fire with all his might. After a moment of effort, the blaze was finally extinguished.
"Next time you feel like throwing up, call me," Kua Fu said softly as he returned to my side.
I wanted to reply, but as soon as I opened my mouth, a surge of flames erupted from within me.
Seeing the fire intensifying, Kua Fu didn't hesitate to leap directly into the flames. Just as the scorching heat was about to reach his face, I felt a jolt of panic and quickly turned away to avoid it.
But at that moment, he firmly grasped my chin with both hands, forcing my face to turn back towards him, and swiftly covered my mouth with one hand.
I stared at his face in shock; it was the closest we had ever been. So close that I could see his slightly curled eyelashes clearly. I locked eyes with him, and gradually, he began to falter under my gaze, his eyes darting away in a flustered manner.
His breath brushed against my face, filled with a man's unique restlessness and an undeniable hint of desire.
I could distinctly feel his breathing becoming more rapid, his body growing hotter.
My own breath quickened involuntarily, and that indescribable longing severely clouded my mind. The air I had been trying so hard to hold back slipped out of control, surging violently within me, rushing towards my mouth.
"Mm... mm..." Just as I was about to spew fire again, Kua Fu suddenly sealed my lips with his.
I instinctively struggled, but he held me even tighter. As I opened my eyes and caught a glimpse of his face, I noticed how intensely focused he looked. Seeing him like this made my struggling hands fall limply to my sides.
Since you’re so devoted, I might as well cooperate! After what felt like an eternity, Kua Fu slowly pulled away from the kiss, lowering his head slightly to gaze deeply into my eyes.
For the first time, he no longer avoided my gaze; instead, he stared at me with wide eyes filled with affection.
"I'll ask the Jade Emperor for you another day!"
I looked at him in surprise, disbelief filling my eyes, but I quickly lowered my head, feeling shy.
Did I hear that wrong? He was clearly proposing! He actually wants to marry me! He has fallen in love with me!
"Anyway, I've seen your body... and since I've kissed you, I have to take responsibility. Besides, if I don't marry you, you probably won't be able to get married at all..."
What? As soon as I heard that, I angrily lifted my head, my face contorted with rage.
So that's why he wants to marry me! What about the deep affection in his eyes just now? Did he really need to come up with so many excuses? Would it kill him to just say he loves me?
Before I could explode in anger, he quickly lowered his head and kissed my forehead. Then he scooped me up in his arms and hurriedly ran towards the Heavenly Realm.
I lay obediently in his embrace, gazing at his chiseled and handsome face. My mind couldn't help but wander, imagining myself marrying such a flawless handsome man and even having countless adorable babies with him... Oh dear, the more I thought about it, the more shy I felt!
