Heaven-defying Elementalist Emperor - C3
To Luo Tian, the distance of three hundred meters was as long as a hundred years.
Luo Tian really wanted to take out his purple spirit ring and propose on his knees so that he would become his most beloved woman in this life.
It had to be said that the red-clothed girl’s smile was extremely beautiful, like a flower on the roadside. Anyone who saw it wouldn’t be able to refrain from wanting to touch it in the future. However, this smile gave off an unreal feeling, as if this smile hid an indescribable sadness. However, sorrow only flashed across his eyes, even Luo Tian who was looking at the pink clothed lady did not see any clues.
“I just arrived too.”
Although this was what Luo Tian said, he had another thought in his heart. Forget about waiting for a while, even if he had to wait for his entire life, he would be willing to wait as long as it was possible. Thinking about his purpose for coming here, Luo Tian took out the Purple Spirit Ring from his pocket, knelt down on one knee, and said gently: “Leng Yue, marry me!”
At this moment, Luo Tian’s face was brimming with a blissful smile. As long as Wang Lingyue agreed, she would be able to go back and prepare for the wedding. However, the beautiful expectation and reality formed a stark contrast. Wang Lingyue’s next sentence was like a bolt out of the blue for him.
Wang Lingyue looked at the purple soul ring, a look of shock flashed past her face, then she said: “Luo Tian, I cannot take this ring!”
Luo Tian only felt that Wang Lingyue’s gaze was a little strange, but he did not think much about it, and said: “It doesn’t matter to you, as long as you agree to be my wife, I …”
“Why do you have to go through all this trouble?” Wang Lingyue sighed, and then changed the topic, “You should return the ring! This amount of money is enough for you to live for a long time … ”
Luo Tian was stunned, he suddenly had an ominous premonition, and said: “Leng Yue, what’s wrong with you today?”
“I’m fine…” Wang Lingyue obviously did not want to continue with this topic. She pointed to the nearby Mei Chong Lake and said, “Accompany me to the lake!”
Luo Tian did not leave. He stared into Wang Lingyue’s eyes and said word by word, “Do you still remember that night three years ago when you and I made that promise by the Plum Rush Lake?”
“So what if I remember? So what if I don’t?” Wang Lingyue’s eyes could not bear it anymore as a light flashed past them, and in the end, she still said those words.
“You once said that as long as I can prepare a wedding ring, I will be my wife …” Luo Tian would never forget the words the two of them had said on that night three years ago.
When he thought about the past, Wang Lingyue’s eyes turned cold, and he said coldly: “Luo Tian, children’s play, cannot be taken seriously, why do you need to engrave it into your heart?”
Luo Tian’s background was rather pitiful. He was an orphan who had been abandoned, and was picked up by his grandfather later on. According to grandfather, when I picked him up that year, I saw him falling from the sky and named him Luo Tian. Later on, his grandfather took in a lot of orphans on and off, and taught them since childhood that there was trust in a man’s words. As a result, Luo Tian’s words had long been engraved in his heart.
“Your words are not child’s play. I will remember every word in my heart.” Luo Tian’s expression was solemn, as he enunciated every word.
Wang Lingyue sighed, her eyes filled with an unbearable look, and said faintly: “Luo Tian, you’re too kind, I’m really a little worried about you.” She paused, turned her head to the side, and continued, “This world is not as simple as you think it is. It is full of uncertainties, and it is not something you have to promise others.”
Luo Tian understood these words, but he did not understand why Wang Lingyue had said it like that. He could not help but ask: “Could it be that even an oath can be changed so easily?”
“You haven’t changed, I’ve changed …”
Wang Lingyue looked at the purple spirit ring on Luo Tian’s hand, his expression becoming somewhat complicated. In the end, she clenched her teeth and said seriously: “Luo Tian, I am no longer the me of the past, and you are no longer the you of the past. When grandfather was still alive, I had indeed promised you that I would marry you when I grew up.
“Does the promise between us have anything to do with grandfather’s death?” Luo Tian could not help but ask.
“It doesn’t matter. In other words, it has a lot to do with me. After my grandfather passed away, I was adopted. From then on, I became a stranger to myself.” Wang Lingyue’s eyes were ice-cold and heartless as she changed the topic, “Originally, I thought that after we separated, you would slowly forget your promise and forget about me …”
Luo Tian stared at Wang Lingyue, looking at the woman he loved the most, he had sworn to protect her for his entire life, and his eyes were filled with tears. As the saying goes, a man should have tears in his eyes, but he should not have tears in his eyes. It was just that Luo Tian did not believe what Wang Lingyue had said, he did not believe that the vow between the two of them could change as soon as it was said.
“No, you’re lying to me, you’re lying to me, right … …” After waiting for so many years for such an outcome, Luo Tian was unable to control his emotions and shouted at Wang Lingyue.
“Luo Tian, it’s not that I’m lying, it’s just that you’re lying to yourself.” Wang Lingyue felt that there was no point in continuing to speak like this, and her eyes became even colder. She changed the topic, “Luo Tian, I originally didn’t want to tell you these things, and since you can’t let go of it, then I’ll tell you the reason.”
“We are not children anymore. Marriage is not child’s play. How could we be so reckless?”
“Your current situation should be the same as before! “Do you want me to marry you and stay in the thatched cottage?”
“This is not the life I want. You can’t give me the happiness I want.”
“…”
