The Independent State:
It was winter and heavy snow fluttered from the sky like goose feathers throughout the entire day .
In the rear courtyard of the headquarters of Emperor Ji’s faction:
Ji Xiuran was wearing a thick overcoat while his head of long hair was casually draped behind him .
Currently, the man was kneeling down and meticulously caring for the fruits and vegetables he personally planted .
“Brother Xiuran, are you planning to retire and return to civilian life?”
Worriless Nie asked from her seat in the courtyard as she watched Ji Xiuran, who had quite a few splatters of rain and snow on his body .
She didn’t understand why this man planted these fruits and vegetables .
“Retire and return to civilian life…?” Ji Xiuran murmured softly, startled .
“Mhm, retire and return to civilian life,” Worriless Nie said jokingly .
“What? Is this the life you want?” Ji Xiuran turned to Worriless Nie .
“The life I want…” Worriless Nie pondered for a moment with her chin propped on her hand . “A few fields, three meals of salted vegetables, working from sunrise to sunset… Ordinary and peaceful . ”
Ji Xiuran smiled . “Are you willing to leave it all behind?”
“Why wouldn’t I? You though—are you willing to leave it all behind?” Worriless Nie asked Ji Xiuran .
Ji Xiuran was startled . “Your future includes me too?”
“Of course!” Worriless Nie dashed forward and looped her arm around his arm . “I can be without everyone… I just can’t go without you in my life . ”
“But I’m not willing . ” Ji Xiuran shook his head .
The anticipation in Worriless Nie’s eyes instantly turned into an indescribable emotion .
“I’m not willing to make you eat only pickled vegetables for all three meals, so how about we add some sweet and sour spare ribs?” Ji Xiuran chuckled lightly .
“…” F*ck, what’s going on with this man?!
“Brother Xiuran, are you willing to leave this life and abandon everything…?” Worriless Nie was incredulous .
In the Independent State, he was akin to an emperor who lorded over the world and possessed almost supreme power .
Ji Xiuran shook his head and slowly stood up . He wrapped the girl’s jacket around her more tightly as he said, “I wouldn’t unless I was trading this life for you . ”
“Really?” Worriless Nie stood in her spot, watching his movements before meeting his enthralling, gentle eyes . She felt that her heart had been melted by his blazing warmth already .
“What do you think?” The man tapped the tip of her nose with his finger .
“Go in first; it’s cold out here . ” Ji Xiuran turned around and picked some of the vegetables and fruits he planted . “I grew these myself since I don’t trust other people’s produce . Come over to eat often . These are all very healthy . ”
“You… planted all of this for me?” Worriless Nie was astonished .
The corners of his lips turned up, happiness also surfacing in his eyes . After he finished picking the produce, he walked forward and grasped her hand before leading her toward the kitchen .
Ji Xiuran’s culinary skills had been honed more and more exquisitely . His dishes looked and smelled amazing and tasted incredible, especially his sweet and sour spare ribs . Worriless Nie wanted nothing more than to inhale even the plate .
However, the girl didn’t like eating vegetables and only consumed meat, aside from Ji Xiuran’s vegetables .
That evening, anyone who looked down from the hilltop at Emperor Ji’s headquarters would have a panoramic view of the resplendence below .
The man sat at the mountain top, the girl sitting next to him .
“You’ve worked hard for all of this for a very long time,” the girl commented softly .
“That’s right . I haven’t stopped since I was a youth . ” Ji Xiuran nodded .
“My Fearless Alliance is also very fearsome right now… it’s strange though—the factions that kept oppressing us before have all disappeared…” Worriless Nie said .
“That’s good . ” Ji Xiuran smiled .
The girl turned to him . “Eh… It’s not your doing, right?”
“It isn’t . ” The man shook his head .
“Suspicious!” Worriless Nie pursed her lips .
