We Agreed On Experiencing Life So Why Did You Immortals Become Real Chapter 371

[ … words ]

Soon, news that the Chu Kingdom and Yan Kingdom had stationed troops at the Qin Kingdom’s border spread throughout the entire court, and even many common people knew about it. Moreover, the news continued to spread wider and wider.

The territories of Chu Kingdom and Yan Kingdom did not border the Qin Kingdom directly.

Between Qin Kingdom and both Chu Kingdom and Yan Kingdom, there was a small nation sandwiched in between each.

These two small nations, caught between the great powers, had managed to thrive by playing all sides, maintaining a delicate balance with the two great nations, primarily focused on offending no one.

The Qin Kingdom had even bestowed considerable favors upon these two small nations yet unexpectedly, they had actually allowed passage to the Chu and Yan Kingdoms.

This made the people of Qin Kingdom extremely furious.

The Qin Kingdom’s ruler even flew into a rage at court, declaring that not only would he destroy the two small nations in between, but he would also teach Chu Kingdom and Yan Kingdom a lesson!

Before long, the Qin Kingdom’s ruler issued his command.

Xiao Mo would lead the Northern Frontier army to resist Chu Kingdom, while the famous Qin Kingdom general, the Western Pacification Prince, Chang An, would lead troops to resist Yan Kingdom.

After all, there were still many aristocratic families and nobles in Zhei Kingdom who appeared obedient on the surface but were constantly scheming in their hearts.

Otherwise, if there were another rebellion on the Zhei Kingdom side, that would truly be troublesome.

When the decree from the Qin Kingdom’s ruler arrived, Qin Siyao looked at the imperial edict and fell into prolonged silence.

Qin Siyao knew that once her husband left this time, she didn’t know when he would return, and their wedding would be postponed again but Qin Siyao also understood that this was a critical moment of life and death for Qin Kingdom, and it was not the time for her to throw tantrums.

The current Qin Kingdom needed her husband.

On the evening before Xiao Mo’s departure, Qin Siyao said nothing and simply packed Xiao Mo’s luggage in silence.

Actually, the military camp had everything, but Qin Siyao still felt that personally organizing her husband’s belongings would give her some peace of mind.

Xiao Mo watched as Qin Siyao folded one piece of clothing after another in the room, placing various daily necessities into a storage bag. His heart also felt somewhat guilty.

“Siyao, that’s about enough. It’s already very late, go rest for a bit.”

Xiao Mo stepped forward and took Qin Siyao’s small hand.

Qin Siyao shook her head, “It’s fine. Let me check if there’s anything else you’re missing, I’ll bring it all for you.”

“I really don’t lack anything.”

Xiao Mo smiled and pulled Qin Siyao’s delicate hand, sitting down on the edge of the bed with her.

Qin Siyao lowered her eyes, her expression full of reluctance. Those beautiful eyes seemed as if they would start crying at any moment, making one’s heart ache.

“Siyao, I’m sorry. This time, I have to leave again. It’s my fault. Our wedding will have to be delayed again.”

Xiao Mo sighed and gently stroked his fiancée’s hair.

“Xiao Mo, it’s not your fault.”

Qin Siyao shook her head vigorously.

“Actually, I understand that many things don’t go smoothly, but there’s an old saying, good things take time, right? I believe these obstacles are only temporary.

Besides, we’re both cultivators with very long lifespans. What do a few short years matter?”

“Mm.” Xiao Mo nodded, “Yes, it’s only temporary. I will definitely resolve all these matters as quickly as possible and won’t make you wait too long.”

“I believe you.” Qin Siyao smiled slightly, leaning into her beloved’s embrace, “And I’ll wait for you.”

“Alright Xiao Mo, go to sleep now. You still have to travel tomorrow.” Qin Siyao rose from Xiao Mo’s embrace and said with concern.

“Okay, then you should also go back to your room and rest well.” Xiao Mo responded.

“Mm.”

Qin Siyao nodded, stood up from beside Xiao Mo, and walked toward the door. However, after just a few steps, Qin Siyao turned around, “Oh right, I packed some tea leaves for you, and some pastries too.”

“Alright.” Xiao Mo nodded.

“Oh yes, I prepared several new sets of clothes for you. Mother and I made them, don’t be reluctant to wear them.”

“I know.”

“And some medicinal pills, I brought them from the palace, and also…”

Qin Siyao kept turning back every few steps, instructing Xiao Mo one word at a time. Xiao Mo simply smiled and nodded.

Finally, Qin Siyao felt she was being a bit annoying. Her cheeks flushed slightly as she said, “I have nothing more to say. I… I’m going to sleep now.”

“Go ahead, I’ve remembered everything.”

Xiao Mo smiled and waved his hand.

“Oh… wu…” After one last look at Xiao Mo, Qin Siyao finally left the room.

After Qin Siyao left, Xiao Mo took down the immortal weapon named “Ten Fierce Spear.”

The Ten Fierce Spear was an immortal weapon that Huang Shan had given to Xiao Mo before leaving.

Xiao Mo’s cultivation level hadn’t reached the Nascent Soul realm before, so he hadn’t used it but now, Xiao Mo could finally activate it.

Xiao Mo sat cross-legged on the bed, then placed the Ten Fierce Spear on his knees. After nurturing it with spiritual energy for an hour, he finally put away the Ten Fierce Spear.

Blowing out the candle, Xiao Mo lay down on the bed to rest.

Soon, Xiao Mo fell asleep.

He didn’t know how much time had passed.

Xiao Mo felt his room door being opened. An evening breeze blew in, bringing with it the fragrance he was most familiar with.

“Siyao, what is she doing at this late hour?”

Xiao Mo knew it was Siyao who had entered, but he didn’t wake up and continued pretending to sleep.

Qin Siyao gently closed the door and tiptoed to Xiao Mo’s bedside.

Xiao Mo thought Siyao would do something to him but Qin Siyao did nothing at all. She just blinked and looked at Xiao Mo.

After the time it took to burn a stick of incense, the curious Xiao Mo slowly opened his eyes.

“Ah!” Seeing Xiao Mo wake up, Qin Siyao was so startled that her delicate body trembled, “Xiao Mo… you… why are you awake?”

“I’ve been awake for a while now. By the way, it’s already so late, Siyao, why aren’t you sleeping?” Xiao Mo sat up and asked with a smile, “And why do you keep looking at me?”

“I… I can’t sleep.”

Qin Siyao rubbed her small hands together and slowly spoke.

“Thinking about how you’ll be leaving tomorrow, even though you haven’t left yet, I’ve already started missing you, so…

So I wanted to look at you more tonight.

Perhaps this way, once you leave tomorrow, I won’t miss you so much.”

“…” Hearing Qin Siyao’s words, the corners of Xiao Mo’s mouth twitched. His heart felt somewhat bitter, but he didn’t know what to say.

“Alright Xiao Mo, you sleep, I’ll just watch. You don’t need to worry about me.”

Qin Siyao pressed on Xiao Mo’s shoulders, laying him back down on the bed.

Xiao Mo, now lying back on the bed, looked at the young girl with a smile, “So how much longer are you going to watch?”

“I… I don’t know either…”

The evening breeze blew into the room through the window. The thin nightgown clung to the woman’s graceful and soft figure. She puffed out her cheeks, her eyes beneath long lashes reflecting the pure moonlight.

“Even though I’ve been with you every day this past year and seen you daily, I can never get enough of looking at you.”

After a long while, Qin Siyao raised her head and gazed into Xiao Mo’s eyes.

“Xiao Mo… why is it that no matter how much I look at you, I never get tired of it…”

“Can you… Can you let me look at you for a lifetime?”
