Delvin caught the attention of the three people before looking at Lu Yao intently and saying: "Young Miss, can you introduce me to these fine people?" Although Delvin didn't know who Xue Mo and Hesroth were from Lu Yao's interaction with them, he knew that they are people that she cares about, especially Xue Mo.
Although Delvin tried to hide his intentions in front of someone like Xue Mo who had lived hundreds of thousands of years, his subtle, discreet work of beating around the bush doesn't work on Xue Mo, though he didn't expose him, he wanted to see what will happen as inwardly smiled coldly.
'So you want to try to extract information? Do you think that my Yao is that naïve? Even though I don't know what happened to her to make her this cautious, I know that she isn't someone that easily manipulated? If she were, then all the life that she had lived would be in vain, and all the intelligence and deduction that she showed would be acting.' Xue Mo was overthinking things too much that his thoughts strayed as he thought about Lu Yao and her intelligence.
If Lu Yao knew Xue Mo's current thoughts, she would definitely not talk to him as he thinks that she is stupid.
Although Delvin did want to know about Xue Mo and Hesroth and their relationship to his young Miss, he didn't probe further as he didn't want them to think that he was overreaching or overstepping his boundaries.
Lu Yao didn't disappoint Xue Mo as she curtly replied without revealing too much. "This man is Xue Mo; he is your young Master, whatever he says or do is as if I said it." After introducing Xue Mo, Lu Yao pointed at Hesroth and said: "Hesroth is our subordinate, so treat him as your equal from now on."
"Now that introductions are out of the way. Let's talk about our next step of action." Knowing that Xue Mo doesn't like talking much, Lu Yao carried the responsibility to speak with Delvin.
Weirdly enough, Lu Yao felt an aura surrounding Delvin that made her feel not as disgusted with him as she does with other men. Maybe because of this aura that she believed him to be the butler of her family and how she was able to talk to him so easily.
Exchanging looks with Xue Mo, Lu Yao nodded before turning towards Delvin and saying: "I want you to leave us here and come back in a couple of hours, try to search this Dungeon or surrounding for any valuable stuff that can be used." Lu Yao ordered Delvin. From the way she talked, Delvin knew that what she meant was 'you are inconveniencing us. Leave.'
Because Delvin knew what she meant, he hesitated for a while before bowing his head and leaving.
After making sure that Delvin had indeed left and wasn't spying on them, Only then did Xue Mo's cold face ease up as he looked at Lu Yao caressed her small foxy face, before smiling gently and with a flicker in his eyes asked: "What happened?"
Although they were only two words, they meant the world to Lu Yao at that moment; for someone who had lived most of her life without a family after her mother's death, she had suffered greatly. Her childhood was miserable. Only when she met Xue Mo did she feel that sense of family and belonging again.
Lu Yao said nothing for a few minutes and only stared at that handsome and gentle face, although he had bloodstains on his face, they didn't decrease Xue Mo's appeal but instead enhanced his handsomeness.
After several minutes in a harmonious atmosphere, Xue Mo was about to speak again only for Lu Yao to do the same. "Mo (Yao), I," seeing that they both wanted to say something, Xue Mo quickly said: "You speak first."
Lu Yao quickly shook her head and softly said: "No, you first." Seeing that Lu Yao is insisting, Xue Mo didn't try to persuade her. Xue Mo nodded his head before a solemn expression appeared on his face.
As if Lu Yao suddenly remembered something, she said: "Wait, let me go first. This is important." Noticing how funny the situation with both of them giving leeway to each other only for Lu Yao to say I will talk.
Although Xue Mo is happy and lets his emotion roam around when he is with Lu Yao. He didn't laugh at the situation but intently stared at her as Xue Mo felt she had something important to say, and from what he observed, it must be something she is not used to talking about.
Lu Yao had remembered how every time she said something, Xue Mo took the first step, and she just revealed stuff after. So now she figured that he wants to talk about their relationship again. Lu Yao didn't want to be put in the spot where she had to either accept or decline. Instead, she wanted to be the bold one who takes the first step and confesses this time.
Lu Yao took a deep breath as she started: "Mo, we have talked about this before, but this time I want to be the one who initiates this conversation, so until I finish, please don't interrupt."
Although Xue Mo didn't know which topic she was talking about, he had a vague idea, so he nodded his head as his heart unknowingly started to beat faster. 'What's happening to me? Why am I so nervous?' At some point, Xue Mo started getting uneasy after Lu Yao mentioned a topic she wanted to talk about.
Since Xue Mo had never felt any real emotions before meeting Lu Yao, it was expected for him not to know that he was feeling nervous and afraid of getting rejected by Lu Yao. Since over the years he and Lu Yao spent together, Xue Mo had truly felt happy for the first and even the someone who he would give anything, even his life for.
"Mo." Lu Yao started. "After spending all this time apart, I have experienced many things and thoughts things through….." Lu Yao let her words linger, and every extra second, Xue Mo's eyes dimmed as his heart started panging in pain, before he heard her continue that is.
"I now honestly know what love is. What this experience of being apart made me realize is how I don't want to experience that again. My feelings for you haven't dimmed or dulled over time but instead intensified, making me absolutely certain that I love you. Yes, Xue Mo, I have said I love you.
I promise to give you everything, my love, my heart, my Soul and body. But this is a commitment that I will do with a promise. Please…. Don't leave me or stop loving me. I know this is a pathetic scene to show you, but I have never felt this way, and I don't ever want to feel it towards anyone else, so if you aren't certain to be able to handle this condition, then… t-then I think this is where we part ways." At the end of Lu Yao's speech, the atmosphere in the room got colder to the degree that she had never felt before.
Lu Yao had gone through a turmoil of emotions and thought hard before confessing to Xue Mo, and she wished not to be disappointed. Feeling the cold aura that is rising in front of her, Lu Yao turned her face to see Xue Mo with the coldest look she had ever seen before, making her almost choke on her tears as she thought, 'So this is where we end. Is that your response? W-was I truly naïve to believe your flowery words be-' Before Lu Yao can finish her thought, she heard Xue Mo speak.
"Is that how much you belittle me. I have said it before, and I will say it again and again for as long as you want me to, I love you, and I will find no one else in my life nor do I want to. Did you think I was playing with you and your emotions all this time? Was I that shallow and low in your eyes?" Although Xue Mo's words were ice cold, Lu Yao was able to sense how angry he was.
Xue Mo was indeed angry. He had confessed his feelings before and even made sure that he will forever bind his Soul to Lu Yao when she sorts her feelings out, and in the end, he was met with doubts about his feelings. Although Xue Mo was happy and understood where Lu Yao was coming from and that she had every right to say all this, he still felt annoyed to be doubted.
Xue Mo sighed and calmed down before lovingly staring at the dumbstruck Lu Yao while slowly reaching his hand and wiping her tears for her before saying, ��I love you, Lu Yao, and I swear only ever to love you. If I ever fall for someone else, let my Soul be completely destroyed, for that shall be the consequence of me betraying you."
After saying that, Lu Yao immediately said: "Xue Mo. I love you too, and if I ever betray, let my Soul be completely destroyed as a consequence for going back on my words."
After making their vows to each other, Xue Mo and Lu Yao smiled at each other as they practically just made marriage vows. Before they could say anything else, a red-colored light started shining in the throne hall.
The red lights' origin was none other than Xue Mo and Lu Yao themselves.
