Chapter 458 On the Eve of the Engagement.
In the following days, the Shrek Academy members were all busy with their own affairs. However, they were all preparing for Xuan Mo and Ning Rongrong's engagement ceremony.
Even Xuan Mo's parents had already been brought to Qibao City, and the "Natural Abode" in Tiandou City was closed to guests.
During these days, Xuan Mo and Ning Rongrong stayed in a hotel. However, nothing happened, and they didn't stay in their room all the time. In Oscar's words, the two of them were practically invisible.
Today was the eve of Xuan Mo and Ning Rongrong's engagement.
At this moment, Xuan Mo and Ning Rongrong, along with the other six Shrek Academy members and Dean Flander, had arrived in Qibao City.
However, this did not deter Xuan Mo and Ning Rongrong.
For example, this afternoon, the two of them went out again.
"Mo, where are we going later? We're getting engaged tomorrow, so we can't leave Qibao City now. Otherwise, Dad and the others won't be able to find us if something happens."
Ning Rongrong nestled obediently in Xuan Mo's arms, her face full of tenderness. Being carried in his arms like a princess filled her with sweetness.
Xuan Mo gently kissed Ning Rongrong's forehead. A wave of happiness washed over him.
"Don't worry, we're not going anywhere far," Ning Rongrong said, her eyes softening. "Then where are we going?"
"Come and see where we're going. If you can't guess, you'll find out soon enough." Xuan Mo remained silent, gazing into the distance before quickening his pace.
After a while, "This is..."
Xuan Mo put Ning Rongrong down, and she looked around. Behind her was a small grove of trees, and they were standing on a hillside, gazing at the distant scenery.
Everything in Seven Treasures City was laid out before them.
"How is it? This place is nice, isn't it?"
Xuan Mo stood behind Ning Rongrong, quietly admiring the setting sun and the vibrant forest. It was as if the world had fallen silent at that moment.
"Yes." Ning Rongrong nodded, her eyes sparkling. "It's so quiet here, so far from Seven Treasures City, how come I never noticed?"
"That's because you lack the ability to notice."
Xuan Mo put his arm around Ning Rongrong's shoulder. "You used to be a pampered young lady; you would never have climbed a mountain to come to a place like this."
As he spoke, he turned to Ning Rongrong, their cheeks almost touching, so close they could feel each other's breath.
"But things are different now. Now that I'm here, the beauty and peace of this continent will be within your sight."
Faced with Xuan Mo's words, Ning Rongrong's eyes welled up with tears. She gently grasped his large hand, her left hand suddenly clenching tightly. The next words that escaped his lips were spoken without hesitation or affectation: "Mo, I love you..."
No further words were needed; Xuan Mo and Ning Rongrong embraced tightly. This scene unfolded under the blessing and witness of the sun in the sky.
A moment later, Ning Rongrong, nestled against Xuan Mo's chest, raised her head, her bright eyes brimming with deep love.
"Mo, kiss me."
With such a wife, what more could a husband ask for?
Seeing Ning Rongrong offer her lips so willingly, Xuan Mo's heart was instantly filled with overwhelming love.
Soon, they drew closer, both closing their eyes in bliss. Their lips met, pressed tightly together. Both drew love from each other's pressed lips and bodies, releasing their deepest affection without reservation.
At the same time, at the moment of the kiss, Xuan Mo instantly unleashed his soul power and aura, enveloping a large area around them.
Even the insects that were flying in the air fled in panic under the influence of Xuan Mo's soul power and aura.
At this point, all was silent, leaving only Xuan Mo and Ning Rongrong.
As they released each other, Ning Rongrong simply nestled quietly in Xuan Mo's arms. Until the sun set, and the evening glow gradually enveloped the hillside, presenting a breathtakingly beautiful scene…
"Alright, it's about time now."
After sitting there for several hours, Xuan Mo watched the setting sun and gently stroked Ning Rongrong's hair.
"Otherwise, if we disappear for a few hours and don't return by nightfall, they'll be getting impatient."
So, with Ning Rongrong blushing, Xuan Mo picked her up again and sped towards Qibao City…
"We're back."
Because the Shrek Eight Monsters were all gathered, Xuan Mo and Ning Rongrong, wanting to stay with everyone, decided to stay at a relatively luxurious restaurant hotel with the other six Shrek Monsters, their teacher, and the Shenger siblings who were attending the engagement ceremony.
Xuan Mo, who had disappeared for several hours, led Ning Rongrong, looking travel-worn, into the restaurant. In that instant, they attracted everyone's attention. Everyone looked at them with amused expressions, making the two feel awkward.
"What's with those expressions?"
"Old Mo, you're so 'good' to Rongrong. But in that kind of situation, isn't that a bit too hasty?"
Dai Mubai broke the awkward silence first.
"Ah-ha?"
Ning Rongrong blushed immediately upon hearing this. Xuan Mo understood, but still pretended not to understand.
However, Xiao Wu's next words instantly broke Xuan Mo's defenses. Xiao Wu grabbed Tang San's arm, "Brother Mo, stop pretending. Everyone knows you carried Rongrong in your arms and headed out of Qibao City."
As she spoke, she glanced at Tang San with envious eyes every now and then.
"But it's really romantic."
As soon as she said this, Tang San's face stiffened, then returned to normal. As for Zhu Zhuqing, she unconsciously looked at Dai Mubai. But Dai Mubai's chest-patting assurance made her glance away.
Even Xian Yun'er, who hadn't officially settled down with Oscar, subconsciously looked at Oscar, but only for a moment before blushing and waking up.
Oscar was incredibly excited. Clearly, with his persistent efforts, his relationship with Xian Yun'er had made significant progress. But all of this caused serious emotional trauma to single guys like Ma Hongjun.
So…
"Hey! Can't you guys care about me for once?"
"No way!" ×7
A burst of cheers erupted again. This was all witnessed by Flander and the other teachers.
"Youth is truly wonderful!"
Flander sighed, while Zhao Wuji smiled and put his arm around his shoulder. "I never thought that in a few years, these little monsters would be getting married, while we two old folks are still single."
"Go to hell…"
