Chapter 605 - 557: You’ve Already Accepted the Betrothal Gift—You’re Not Planning to Back Out, Are You, Sis?

Chapter 605: Chapter 557: You’ve Already Accepted the Betrothal Gift—You’re Not Planning to Back Out, Are You, Sis?

"Restore another one?"

Bai Lan looked blankly.

Bai Huan and a group of Bai Clan elders were also dumbfounded for a while.

The happiness came too suddenly, they found it somewhat unbelievable.

So...

Generous?!

"Son-in-law, what do you mean by this?"

Bai Lan took a deep breath, suppressing the excitement in his heart, and asked.

Bai Huan was already thinking about taking Qin Yu to meet his descendants, didn’t he understand?

He wanted to marry another!

For anyone else wanting to marry a Bai family woman, unless they could bring great benefits.

But Qin Yu is different!

Bai Huan even thought that if Qin Yu wanted to use repairing Ancient Arrays as a betrothal gift, he could marry as many as he liked!

"To be frank, Yaoyin... is already my Dao Companion."

Qin Yu spoke truthfully.

Bai Yaoyin, to protect her sister, had not mentioned this to Bai Lan, but since they were here, she naturally wanted to acknowledge her young wife.

Couldn’t let her suffer grievances forever.

"Yaoyin?"

Upon hearing this, the elders’ expressions froze.

Second Elder Bai Feng felt somewhat dazed, was Bai Yaoyin his Dao Companion?

Then... why did she deliberately let him see Qin Yu’s intimate behavior with Bai Yaosha?

Was it to prevent him from bringing Bai Yaosha back?

Thinking this, the Second Elder immediately felt at ease.

Qin Yu had clearly repaired an Ancient Array before Bai Yaosha arrived at the Great Yan Imperial City’s Leisure Pavilion, it was because of Bai Yaoyin!

Bai Huan paused his movements, so this kid wasn’t choosing again but already had a Dao Companion?

"Yaoyin is your Dao Companion?"

Bai Lan’s expression was most colorful.

He finally understood, when he first mentioned Qin Yu and Bai Yaosha to Bai Yaoyin during their communication, why the girl reacted so strongly.

Could it be, Bai Yaoyin at that time... was already secretly involved with Qin Yu?!

Why didn’t she tell him?

Thinking about him urging Bai Yaoyin to hover between the two...

Bai Lan couldn’t say what he felt.

Guilt?

Definitely some.

As a father, not only did he not respect his daughter, but actually made such ridiculous requests of her.

And Bai Yaoyin, to protect her sister, willingly did it, even purposefully let her sister and her husband return to the Bai Clan territory, how painful must her heart be?

This foolish daughter!

Wait...

If Bai Yaoyin is his Dao Companion, then what about Bai Yaosha?

Bai Lan looked back and saw the latter with her head slightly bowed, her ears red.

The Ancient Array repaired earlier was Bai Yaosha’s betrothal gift?

For a moment, Bai Lan’s heart was complex.

As a father, in such absurd situations, he should be angry, reprimand, and refuse.

But at this moment, he felt no anger in his heart, even thought it would be great if he could have more daughters.

"Clan Leader, this might be a bit difficult for you, so how about this, I have a granddaughter..."

The Great Elder spoke earnestly and righteously.

"No, it’s not difficult!"

However, before the words finished, they were interrupted by Bai Lan.

Did he not know what this old guy was plotting?

And the Supreme Elder and other clan elders were also eager, if he didn’t express his stance, they would definitely make use of the situation!

"Son-in-law, since Yaoyin is your Dao Companion, I must respect your choices."

Bai Lan took a deep breath, showing a kindly smile.

Not bound by worldly morals!

Bai Lan felt he was a great father!

"Thank you, Uncle Lan."

Qin Yu was somewhat anxious, after all...

Not everyone could accept this kind of situation, especially considering the other party was an Ancient Race Clan Leader.

Fortunately, Bai Lan remained warm, without any anger, seemingly unconcerned about the matter.

"This old fellow, his luck is too good, right?"

The Third Elder cursed softly in his heart, sighing secretly.

Other clan elders felt disappointed, but in front of so many people, couldn’t act without principles.

Otherwise, they would definitely bring the most beautiful young girls from their descendants to talk with Qin Yu.

As for Bai Yaosha, the elders held no blame towards her.

Compared to a marriage alliance with the Kong Family, Bai Yaosha’s betrothal gift made the Bai Family value more!

"Buzz..."

The Great Elder shook his head, unwilling, but without any delay, immediately unsealed another Ancient Array.

This array had over two hundred sixty array patterns, of which only eight were complete.

Though this Ancient Array wasn’t as intricate as the previous one, the power contained within was extremely dense, faintly exuding a terrifying aura of slaughter.

"This Killing Array is also a part of our Clan Protection Array. I wonder if you, little friend Qin, have the confidence?"

The Great Elder asked tentatively.

The most crucial point is that this array complements the one just repaired, and if perfected, it will greatly enhance the Clan Protection Array.

"I will do my best."

Qin Yu nodded, looking over.

Under the Celestial Eye, the originally broken array patterns gradually revealed themselves.

As Qin Yu began his work, the clan elders behind him put aside other thoughts and remained silent.

Only then did Bai Yaosha raise her head to gaze at the tall figure standing before the ancient array, her mind a whirl of thoughts.

Ever since she chose to stay outside to escape a marriage alliance, she thought she might never have the face to return to the clan land and face her clan members.

However, what she feared did not happen.

The clan elders not only didn’t blame her, but they even valued her highly.

All these changes happened because of the young man in front of her.

The promises Qin Yu made on the way back to the clan land were not mere words; he truly delivered!

...

As night deepened, silver light gently streamed through the window lattice like a fine woven net, covering the entire room with a veil of hazy brilliance.

Bai Yaosha stood quietly in the soft moonlight, her eyes empty and distant, gazing at the figure sitting cross-legged on the bed.

His profile, outlined by the moonlight, was distinct and sculptural, causing a glimmer in her eyes and a tumult of thoughts.

The moments they spent together flooded her mind like a gentle tide, each scene clearly visible, compelling her to draw closer, wishing to reach out and touch that slightly weary face.

"What’s the matter?"

Qin Yu’s voice, carrying a hint of laziness and warmth as he emerged from his meditative state, sounded at the right moment. He slowly opened his eyes, just in time to catch Bai Yaosha’s slightly dazed yet deeply affectionate gaze, stirring his heart.

Bathed in moonlight, her stunningly beautiful face was graced with an ethereal aura.

Bai Yaosha wore a thin silk dress, beneath which a faint glow outlined her graceful figure, like a fairy stepping out of a painting, exuding an exquisite allure.

"I... It’s nothing, really."

Bai Yaosha seemed to awaken from a dream, quickly averting her gaze, and after a moment’s hesitation, she mustered the courage to look at Qin Yu again, whispering softly, "Qin Yu, thank you so much."

Qin Yu’s gaze locked onto the fairy-like figure in the moonlight as he stood up, approached her slowly, and gently wrapped her in his arms.

Unexpectedly, she didn’t resist at all but instead nestled gently in his embrace.

The feeling of soft warmth made it impossible to resist.

Bai Yaosha gently rested her cheek against his solid chest, listening to his strong and steady heartbeat. Though she felt shy, she wasn’t as nervous as before.

"Uncle Lan has agreed, are you still not going to relent?"

Qin Yu chuckled softly, inhaling the fragrance at the tip of his nose, tightening his embrace slightly.

"Relent?"

Bai Yaosha paused, a blush blooming on her charming face.

Her father had agreed, but she hadn’t!

"The bride price has been accepted, sister won’t back out, will she?"

"I, I won’t!"

Bai Yaosha’s heart was filled with shyness; she couldn’t bring herself to say it.

Even though her father and the clan elders had already acknowledged their relationship, the thought of her sister helping her so wholeheartedly only to return home to find her and her sister’s man...

So embarrassing.

"Why don’t you... rest first."

Suddenly, Bai Yaosha seemed to realize something, a surge of panic rising within her.

"Together?"

Qin Yu had no intention of letting her go.

He could tell that Bai Yaosha’s mindset had subtly changed; previously, she would have fled from such contact.

But now, though a bit tense, she showed no signs of struggling.

Just a little... reluctant to let go.

She was still being reserved.

"Let, let me go, who wants to be with you."

Bai Yaosha’s body was tense, her eyes trembling, biting her lip in deep embarrassment.

"Yaosha."

Qin Yu couldn’t help but reach out to brush away the hair from the beautiful face.

Her brows arched gracefully, hiding endless shyness, her autumn-water eyes shimmering brilliantly, yet too shy to meet his gaze directly, occasionally lifting her eyes, full of confusion and bashfulness.

Beneath the delicate and straight jade-like nose, her rosy lips pressed lightly together, as if trying to hide her full-hearted shyness behind her teeth, blushes spreading from her cheeks like resplendent evening clouds, reaching to her ears.

Usually, her sister-in-law would only turn her back to him, and even when guiding her in comprehending array patterns, he had never seen such an expression.

Bai Yaosha slightly lowered her head, unable to meet his gaze, feeling the breath on her face, her heart pounding so fast it seemed about to leap from her throat.

"Hmm."

The next moment, Qin Yu leaned forward and captured her lips, causing a "boom" in Bai Yaosha’s mind, leaving it blank, her beautiful eyes widening suddenly.

Under this familiar breath, an unprecedentedly wonderful sensation filled Bai Yaosha’s heart.

Is this what sister called a kiss?

It seems...

It’s quite nice?

God, what am I thinking!

In her heart, Bai Yaosha felt a wave of panic, utterly unsure how to face this.

She wanted to refuse, but thinking of the efforts of Qin Yu and her sister, and even her father’s tacit acceptance, she found herself with no reason to refuse.

Moreover, she didn’t really resist this feeling.

For a long time.

Bai Yaosha felt she was nearly out of breath.

Finally, their lips parted.

A thin line sketched a shameful arc between the two.
