Chapter 105: Too Happy

Chapter 105: Chapter 105: Too Happy

Vierlia had indeed thought about this for a long time. She had pondered the reason why Shen Yun kept his distance from her, and then, she finally figured it out.

Shen Yun had once told her that he could not sacrifice his own happiness for the sake of his people, but she could. This meant that in her heart, even if they married, Violet would always be more important than her husband. Coupled with Xiao Jiu and Xiao Jie’s situation, there was no mistaking it. This was the truth!

Shen Yun was a man with absolute possessiveness. Only by giving everything to him could she truly gain his approval. Hence, tonight’s confession.

But Shen Yun was completely dumbfounded. This was way too sudden! Plus, wasn’t there some sort of misunderstanding? Why did his Queen fiancé suddenly feel like she was acting like a slave girl?

"You really don’t have to do this," Shen Yun said, his mouth twitching slightly.

"No!" Vierlia squeezed his hands, tears of grievance welling up in the corners of her eyes. "I’m serious... As soon as I find an heir for Violet, I can abdicate my position as Queen immediately and go back to Earth with you..."

She had genuinely thought this through carefully. Her inward reliance on Shen Yun and her burgeoning love for him didn’t actually conflict with her responsibility and affection for Violet. In fact, as long as she stayed by Shen Yun’s side, even if she was no longer the Queen, Violet’s future would still be bright.

On the contrary, if things continued as they were and the engagement was annulled, given Shen Yun’s aptitude, it wouldn’t be long before he became an existence she could never reach. Just the thought of that possibility almost consumed her heart with sorrow.

However, Shen Yun’s expression was slightly contorted. He had never once wanted Vierlia to abdicate and become a full-time housewife! It was better that she was a Queen!

Shen Yun felt like crying. They had just been having a perfectly good time eating fish and teasing the cat. How did this suddenly turn into a massive crisis where his true strength might be exposed? Plus, she was squeezing his hands so hard it hurt.

"Your Majesty," Xiao Jiu suddenly chimed in, arriving like a savior. She gently placed her hands over Vierlia’s, which were tightly gripping Shen Yun’s. "I believe you might have misunderstood my Master."

"Hmm?" Vierlia couldn’t help but look at Xiao Jiu.

"Master has never thought about leaving you after defeating the enemy." Xiao Jiu’s face was filled with a gentle smile, perfectly tinged with a hint of envy. "Keeping a certain distance is only because he hopes to see his feelings for you more clearly from afar. True love only grows more fragrant with time, and even distance cannot cause it to fade in the slightest..."

"Exactly... That’s exactly what I was thinking," Shen Yun said with a long sigh.

At this moment, Xiao Jiu seemed to radiate a dazzling, multicolored halo in his eyes. It looked like he was saved. Damn it! After returning to Earth this time, he was going to enter secluded cultivation immediately. Until he reached the Golden Core stage, he absolutely would not see Vierlia again. He really couldn’t handle this kind of excitement.

"So that’s how it is...?" Vierlia was a little surprised, and her face flushed slightly.

She hadn’t expected it to be like this. In that case, he was keeping his distance because he truly viewed her as his fiancée.

"I don’t have much confidence, though." She bit her lower lip and gave Shen Yun an incredibly wronged look. "I’ve already bared all my feelings to you, but you’ve never expressed yours to me."

"How have I not..."

"Master, she’s acting coquettishly," Xiao Jiu’s voice suddenly echoed in Shen Yun’s mind via telepathy, and she blinked at him.

Whatever!

Xiao Jiu stifled a laugh from the sidelines. Erin hid her face behind a fishbone, seemingly a little embarrassed, but her eyes were wide open.

In short, this night was quite unforgettable for Shen Yun. In the end, he even found himself lying on the grass, Xiao Jiu in his left arm and Vierlia in his right. They lay there counting the stars, while Erin was still excitedly catching and roasting fish.

It wasn’t until a layer of morning light draped over the horizon that Vierlia reluctantly left Shen Yun’s embrace. But she didn’t maintain the appearance of a lovestruck maiden for long. At the very least, when Shen Yun opened his eyes, he was met with the sight of a super energetic Queen.

"Good morning, dear Yun." She gave Shen Yun a smile brighter than the morning sun. "Do you have any plans for today?"

"...What’s with that cloying nickname?" Shen Yun sat up, feeling his right side completely stiff.

Fortunately, his strength was already fully at the Divine Thought Stage. If an ordinary person had spent the entire night holding a Golden Core Queen who hadn’t reined in her strength, they would have been utterly crippled.

"Do you not like it?" Vierlia rested a finger against her chin. "Because in our language, we also have terms that add suffixes to a lover’s name. In that case... Hubby? Darling?"

"Those are even more cloying, alright..." Shen Yun chuckled.

"If we’re talking about cloying, the way Xiao Jiu calls you ’Master’ is the most cloying of all." Vierlia placed her hands on her hips, her cheeks puffing out slightly. With a great weight finally lifted from her heart, the Queen gradually revealed her playful side in front of Shen Yun.

"But Master loves hearing Xiao Jiu call him that. Isn’t that right, Maaaster~?" Xiao Jiu also sat up at this moment, hugging Shen Yun’s arm and calling out to him in an incredibly soft, sweet voice.

Shen Yun’s heart fluttered at the sound. It was only early morning, yet he was already surrounded by beauties. Was his life perhaps a bit too blissful? Oh well, it wouldn’t do to complain about being happy. Not cherishing one’s blessings was just asking for a lightning strike.

"Where’s Erin?" Shen Yun looked around but didn’t see the cat-eared girl. Only the remnants of the campfire were left on the ground. Had that kid really roasted fish all night?

"She likely went to say goodbye to her tribe," Vierlia said, looking into the distance before suddenly turning back. "Dear Yun, if you don’t have anything going on, could you accompany me on a trip to the Winged Race?"

"No problem." Shen Yun nodded.

Right then, Xiao Jiu’s voice suddenly echoed in his mind again. "It seems we won’t need to go, Master, because they’re already here."

"They’re here?" Shen Yun paused in surprise.

"Master defeated the Demon King yesterday, so they definitely sent people to spectate. If they aren’t stupid, they are definitely coming to apologize now." Xiao Jiu’s signal waves could scan very far.

It wasn’t just the Winged Race. Even the Elf Race and other nearby beastkin tribes were all bringing their entourages and rushing over.

Just then, Alicia darted out from the forest and dropped to all fours before Shen Yun.

"Master, the representatives of the non-human Alliance request an audience, meow."
