Cultivation Online novel Chapter 1190

1190 Xi Meili's Decision

After realizing that Xi Meili had passed out while standing, Xi Shengmo quickly carried her to the bed.

"To think she'd lose consciousness from this… Where did all that effort she put into mental training go?" Xi Mingze was truly speechless.

Xi Shengmo merely shook his head in silence.

While she was asleep for the next several minutes, Xi Meili had a dream about the moment she asked Yuan if he was willing to marry her at the restaurant.

"Sorry, but I cannot be with you, since I already have a partner." Yuan said to her with a regretful-look on his face.

"W-What? Who?!"

"She's a Divine Beast just like you. In fact, you've already met her— the Divine Serpent that came to this place with me."

"N-No way…" Xi Meili mumbled as tears flowed from her eyes.

It was at this moment Xi Meili woke up from her dream to find herself sleeping on the bed beside her mother.

"M-Mother? What happened? Why am I sleeping next to you?" Xi Meili was still in a confused state.

"..."

Eventually, Xi Meili's head cleared up, and she recalled what happened right before she passed out.

"What you said… If you're messing with me, I will really get angry…" Xi Meili stared at Xi Mingze with a serious look on her face.

Xi Mingze sighed and recalled her conversation with Lan Yingying and the others to Xi Meili.

"No way… No wonder why he refused to marry me…" Xi Meili sighed out loud after hearing everything.

"What? He refused to marry you?" Xi Mingze was surprised, as this was news to her.

"Well… Not exactly…" It was Xi Meili's turn to recall her conversation with Yuan to her parents.

"So now that you know he's already impregnated another woman, and the fact that he's refused to marry you, do you still want to chase after him?" Xi Shengmo asked her with a serious expression.

Xi Meili didn't immediately respond.

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

When she opened them again, her eyes were filled with resolve.

"Even after learning about his child with Lan Yingying, my feelings for him have not changed. At least now I know that he's willing to procreate with a Divine Beast, which was my biggest worry. I also realized that I was being too hasty with this marriage stuff. It's true that we haven't known each other for long, so I am planning on following him for the time being as a companion until he accepts me."

"Are you serious about this? What if he doesn't respond to your feelings?" Xi Shengmo then asked.

Xi Meili showed a bittersweet smile on her face before responding, "As long as I can continue being by his side, I think I can live with that. If you're worried about our lineage, there's still Murong."

"I am not worried about that! I am worried about you!" Xi Shengmo raised his voice.

"I will be fine, father."

"..."

The room became silent.

"Haa…" Xi Mingze broke that silence a moment later with a deep sigh.

"If that is truly what you desire, I will not stop you. Just know this— With his talents and promising future, I expect there to be a lot of competition for his attention. Not only will you have to compete with his current admirers, they will only continue to grow in the future."

"I am well aware. And thank you, mother, for your support." Xi Meili smiled.
