The man handed a brocade box to Emily Hearne.
Inside the box was a fine jade bracelet, and he said,
"Although this jade bracelet is not a priceless treasure, it has been passed down from my great-grandmother’s generation. My brother and I each have one; his is with my sister-in-law, and I wish to give this one to you..."
Emily Hearne did not immediately take the box; she just looked at him,
"Do you sincerely wish to marry me?"
The man, Isaac Harper, nodded earnestly,
"I do want to marry you!"
"Even if I’m not human, does it still not matter?"
Isaac Harper’s expression didn’t change, he simply said,
"When you saved me in the mountains, I already knew you weren’t human. I admire you, regardless of whether you’re human or a demon."
Upon hearing this, Emily Hearne casually picked up the jade bracelet to play with it in her hand, then turned her gaze towards the man. Her eyes changed, and demonic power radiated from her body.
Then, without warning, she transformed into her demon form right in front of him.
Her long black hair turned into cascading white locks, and her pupils reflected the demonic hues of a fox’s gaze, while the nine tails behind her appeared even more eerie and enchanting.
Isaac Harper was clearly seeing her demon form for the first time, and he froze in place.
"So, do you still wish to marry me?"
Emily Hearne looked at him and asked again, "Think carefully, I will only give you one chance."
Ultimately just an ordinary human, Isaac Harper faced the fox demon before him, and couldn’t help but reveal a slight tremor in his eyes.
Despite trying hard to control it, his hand still shook uncontrollably. Scarlett Jennings watched as he reached out, shivering, towards Emily Hearne, only to clutch at the jade bracelet in her hand.
Emily Hearne thought he wanted to take back this so-called heirloom jade bracelet, and a sneer flashed across her eyes as she handed the bracelet to him.
Unexpectedly, as he grabbed the jade bracelet, he also reached out to clasp her wrist.
Then, suppressing the tremble in his hand with difficulty yet resolutely, he slipped the jade bracelet onto her wrist.
When he looked up again, the man’s eyes were firm and earnest, and he said,
"I want to marry you!"
Emily Hearne was slightly stunned, yet she still did not immediately agree,
"I am the Nine-tailed Fox King, and the Fox King cannot marry into another family. If you truly wish to be with me, then it must be me marrying you."
A man marrying into a family was hard to accept for the ancient nobility.
Not to mention, judging by the fine silk he’s wearing, he likely comes from a wealthy or noble family.
As expected, after hearing Emily Hearne’s words, the man fell into thought, but quickly replied,
"It’s acceptable, my elder brother is responsible for inheriting the family business and passing on the lineage. Me marrying in doesn’t affect my family; I just need to consult my family about it."
Emily Hearne then asked him, "What if your family doesn’t agree?"
Isaac Harper smiled, his brows and eyes gentle,
"If they don’t agree, there’s nothing I can do. I would fake my death and retreat with you into the mountains to live in seclusion, though that way, the dowry...oh, my trousseau might be a bit smaller, consisting only of some silver coins, this mountain, and the villa in the woods. Would you mind?"
Emily Hearne: ...
Scarlett Jennings: ...
Wait, this mountain, could it be???
*
In the end, Emily Hearne and Isaac Harper became a couple.
As Isaac Harper mentioned, his parents couldn’t accept him marrying in, especially to a fox demon.
When the two got married, only Isaac Harper’s elder brother and sister-in-law came to offer their blessings.
Scarlett Jennings, in her ethereal form, witnessed the two become a couple under the witness of the heavens and the earth.
She watched as her powerful grandmother and delicate grandfather began living an ordinary life after marriage.
She saw the affection gradually appear in Emily Hearne’s eyes.
