Chapter 424 Xingxing, shall we get married?

The two looked at each other, then Xiao Xiao stood up, took a few steps forward, took Chujiu's hand and walked out.

As they walked, he said to Mo Xinglan: "You said it yourself. A gentleman's word is as good as his bond. You are not allowed to go back on your word."

Mo Xinglan: “…”

Not long after the two left, Mo Xinglan sighed and rubbed his brows with his hand. He slowly stood up and walked to the bed.

However, just as I reached the bed, I suddenly felt dizzy, followed by a sharp pain that spread from my chest throughout my body and into my soul.

His body swayed, his legs went limp, and he fell to the ground.

Bright red blood kept gushing out of his mouth, staining the ground red.

His brows were furrowed, cold sweat broke out all over his body, and his face was completely pale. He hugged his body tightly and huddled into a ball, unable to breathe due to the pain.

The things in front of his eyes became increasingly blurry, but he still tried desperately to stay awake.

This time the bone curse was more ferocious than any previous time, and he had no chance to get the bone-shaping pill.

He regretted letting her go.

This might be the last time he and her met.

Chujiu was being pulled by Xiao Xiao and was already some distance away from Xuanyu Courtyard, when suddenly he had a bad feeling in his heart.

He paused and turned to look in the direction of Xuanyu Courtyard in confusion.

Why am I suddenly so flustered?

"Xiaojiu? What's wrong?" Xiao Xiao asked puzzledly.

She hesitated for a moment, frowned slightly, took her hand away from Xiao Xiao's palm, and ran back without saying a word.

She still worried about him.

"Little Nine!"

Xiao Xiao saw her running back in a hurry, and although he didn't know what happened, he followed her.

Soon they returned to Xuanyu Courtyard and Chujiu pushed the door open and walked in. After looking around, he saw a person curled up on the floor beside the bed.

"Star!"

She quickly ran over and carefully held him in her arms, her whole body trembling and her palms sweating.

I was glad that I was back, but I soon noticed that the person in my arms was getting colder and colder, and his pulse was getting weaker.

"Stars, stars..."

She gently stroked his face with trembling hands, trying to wake him up.

But there was no response at all, the only response to her was his increasingly weak breathing.

When Xiao Xiao followed in, he was stunned when he saw this scene.

She had heard that Mo Xinglan had a bone curse, but she had never thought that it would be so serious. He was fine when she left, but now he is like this.

Chujiu bit her lower lip and tried to hold back the tears in her eyes. She quickly took out a bone-shaping pill that Mo Xinglan had left with her just in case. She gently opened his bloody lips and fed the pill into his mouth.

Fortunately, the bone-shaping pill melts in the mouth, so there is no need to worry that he won’t be able to swallow it by himself.

He fed him the medicine and then held his hand and used healing magic to nourish his body.

Fang Hao rushed in upon hearing the noise, and stopped dead in his tracks when he saw the scene in front of him. He was extremely worried, but he still did not go forward to disturb them.

At this time, Chujiu spoke, and it was not difficult to hear a slight sob and tremor in his small voice.

"Go prepare the medicinal bath."

"Yes."

Fang Hao took the order, turned around quickly and ran out.

Xiao Xiao came to his senses, tiptoed to her side, squatted down, reached out and hugged her gently.

"Xiaojiu, he'll be fine. He's so strong, he'll be fine."

All she could do was comfort.

At this moment, she seemed to see what she would look like after her death on Earth.

Are you also this scared?

Suddenly she hated herself for not being able to help.

"……Um."

Chujiu hugged Mo Xinglan in a daze and answered softly.

I don't know if she heard what she was saying.

Soon Fang Hao had ordered people to prepare the medicinal bath.

Seeing that the medicinal bath was ready, Xiao Xiao said softly, "I'm outside, call me if you need anything."

Seeing Chujiu nodded slightly, he stood up and walked out slowly with Fang Hao and closed the door.

Chujiu didn't stay for long. He took off Mo Xinglan's clothes and put him in the bathtub.

Time seemed to pass very slowly, as if a century had passed.

With Chujiu's continuous use of healing techniques and full of worry and fear, Mo Xinglan's condition finally changed.

His body temperature and pulse gradually recovered. Although his pulse was still a little weak, it was much better. His life was saved.

The medicinal bath cannot be taken for too long, so when the time was right, Chujiu carried Mo Xinglan to the bed and put on a plain white robe for him.

Then a doctor was called in to diagnose him.

The diagnosis was not good.

Chujiu had expected this and only asked the doctor about the things to pay attention to and when Mo Xinglan would wake up.

……

Six days passed in the blink of an eye. Chujiu stayed by the bedside without leaving. During these six days, Mo Xinglan had been in a coma and showed no signs of waking up.

It was not until the evening of the seventh day that the unconscious man finally opened his eyes after his long eyelashes trembled slightly.

I slowly turned my eyes to the side and saw the girl lying on the edge of the bed with her eyes closed.

Her eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and dark circles could be seen around her exposed eye. It looked like she did not sleep very well.

He saw it with his own eyes and felt pain in his heart. He moved his hands and gently tidied the hair that blocked her eyelashes.

This movement woke the light sleeper up. He opened his eyes dazedly and found that he was already awake.

Seeing that he woke up, she finally let go of the stone in her heart.

"Star……"

She gently held his hand in hers and lowered her head to rub the back of his hand.

"Why didn't you get a good rest?"

Mo Xinglan spoke softly, his voice was gentle and kind, with reluctance.

She slowly put his hand down, buried her head and choked up: "I don't know when you will wake up."

Because she didn't know when he would wake up, she never rested. Even when she slept, she just lay on the edge of the bed and took a short rest.

After hearing this, Mo Xinglan pursed his lips and fell silent.

After a moment, he raised his hand and gently stroked her face: "Come up and rest."

But she lowered her head, biting the tender flesh of her lower lip without moving.

"Jiu'er?"

Chujiu hesitated for a while before taking off her shoes and coat and quietly climbing onto the bed. She crawled into the bed she hadn't been to for a long time, curled up beside him and remained silent.

Mo Xinglan slowly turned sideways and held her in his arms, patting her back gently from time to time to comfort her silently.

At dinner time, Fang Hao knocked on the door and asked while carrying food.

Mo Xinglan lowered his eyes to glance at the motionless person in his arms and asked Fang Hao to leave first.

Fang Hao heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Mo Xinglan's voice, and the worry he had been carrying for the past few days was also put down. He responded and left.

As night falls, the sky becomes dotted with stars.

Although Chujiu was very sleepy, he still didn't want to fall asleep.

"Why don't you sleep?"

Mo Xinglan knew that she was awake all the time, so he lowered his eyes and looked at her.

Chujiu raised her eyes and looked at him for a few breaths and said seriously: "Xingxing, can we get married?"

"?!"

Mo Xinglan's body stiffened and his expression changed again and again.

There was shock, inferiority, guilt... but more of it was happiness.

Even though he is like this, she is still willing to marry him. How can he not be happy?

He was stunned for a few breaths and then nodded in agreement.

"it is good."

I was going to marry her.

After he answered, Chujiu said, "It will be on your birthday in three months."

Not a question, but a statement.

Once again, he froze.

"Why?"

She knew clearly that day was not a good day, so why did she choose that day?

Chujiu looked at him stubbornly and seriously: "I want to leave you some good memories on that day."

He was silent again, holding her hand tighter. He put her head in the crook of his neck with one hand and rested his chin on her head.

"it is good."

The two of them didn't say anything else after that. Chujiu snuggled in his arms, smelling the sweet fragrance on his body and quickly fell asleep.

The next day, Chujiu informed Xiao Xiao, Fang Hao and others, as well as the people from the Mo and Chu families, that he would be getting married to Mo Xinglan in three months.

Considering Mo Xinglan's health, Chu Congnan and Xiang Tingqin came to the Mo family in person.

After discussion, it was finally decided to hold the wedding in the Demon Realm.

Holding a wedding in three months is relatively rushed.

Everyone was shocked after hearing this, and couldn't understand why Chujiu was so eager to get married, especially when Mo Xinglan's injuries had not yet fully healed.

However, as Chujiu's sister, Xiaoxiao will support her no matter what.

Although time is a bit tight, she will still try her best to help her with the wedding.

She personally takes charge of the wedding dress design and scene arrangement.

Since time is tight, they won't invite many people. And Chujiu and Mo Xinglan don't plan to invite many people.

That day, after Chujiu and Xiaoxiao got to know each other, they discussed and finally decided that the wedding should be held in general according to the customs of the Demon Realm.

"Xiao Jiu, when the time comes, you and Mo Xinglan will enter the arena, and then the petals on both sides will start to fall, how about that?"

Xiao Xiao took a brush and wrote and drew on the paper.

Chujiu sat beside him, thinking with his lips pressed against his chest.

"There were already natural snowflakes that day, why did we need petals?"

"Petals are petals, snowflakes are snowflakes, how can they be the same?" Xiao Xiao rolled his eyes at her in annoyance.

Chujiu thought for a moment and said, "Okay."

It's not her job to worry about it anyway.

Xiao Xiao nodded with satisfaction at her attitude: "Well, that's it."

Just as he was about to stand up and set up the place, he suddenly thought of something and looked at Mo Xinglan: "What do you think?"

Although she felt that there was no need to take any action, she still had to listen to the groom's opinion after all.

Mo Xinglan raised his eyes and glanced at her: "Yes."

He thought it was pretty good. He had to admit that although Xiao Xiao always snatched Jiuer from him, which annoyed him, he was still talented in this area.

"Okay, I'll go prepare it." After saying that, Xiao Xiao stood up with a pen and paper and left.

Watching Xiao Xiao's gradually disappearing figure, Chujiu turned around and looked at Mo Xinglan in confusion.

"Xingxing, why do I feel like I'm not the one getting married?"
