82: Chapter 82 I'm Willing

Nannan raised her hand to press against the door, just preparing to push it open, when the sound of Xiao Niuzi's breathing came from inside the room once again.

The sound was much heavier than before, yet it did not stop.

Nannan withdrew her hand and continued guarding outside the door.

Not long after, the Spiritual Qi that had just dissipated surged toward the backyard once again.

This time it was even faster than before, continuously pouring into the Cultivation Room through the gaps in the doors and windows.

Xiao Niuzi's aura also reappeared, growing stronger and stronger.

Inside the Pill Refining Room, Mo Xiaochuan similarly perceived the commotion in the backyard.

He glanced over in that direction, but his hands did not stop.

The second cauldron of foundation establishment pill had already begun to condense the medicinal liquid; if there was even the slightest mistake at this moment, this entire batch of medicinal herbs would be completely ruined.

"Is that Xiao Niuzi?"

"It is him."

Qingli said:

"He has already broken through, but his cultivation has not stabilized yet. You should look after the Pill Furnace first; Nannan is guarding outside, nothing will go wrong."

Mo Xiaochuan did not get distracted any further and continued to control the furnace fire.

Outside the Cultivation Room, Nannan also sensed that Xiao Niuzi's aura had already surpassed the Foundation Establishment Realm.

She sat down in front of the door again, not going in to disturb him.

After a while longer, the aura inside the room finally stabilized, and the Spiritual Qi gathered in the backyard slowly dissipated.

From behind the tightly closed door, Xiao Niuzi's voice came out.

"Nannan, I have broken through."

The door was quickly opened from the inside.

Xiao Niuzi walked out from the room, his clothes already soaked with sweat, and his hair plastered against his forehead.

Nannan stood up.

"Did you really break through?"

Xiao Niuzi nodded hard, hurried in front of her, and scooped her up into an embrace in one swift motion.

"Nannan, I really broke through."

The two of them had known each other for so many years, and their hearts had long held each other, yet this was still the first time Xiao Niuzi had held her like this.

Nannan's face blushed instantly, yet she did not struggle.

"I know, put me down first."

Xiao Niuzi was currently overjoyed and simply couldn't bear to let go.

The commotion caused during the Breakthrough just now was quite significant; after hearing it, Liu Chunmei and Chen Xiuyun also rushed to the backyard.

As soon as the two of them walked in, they saw Xiao Niuzi holding Nannan while standing in front of the Cultivation Room door.

Xiao Niuzi had his back to them and did not notice.

Nannan, however, saw them and hurriedly patted his shoulder.

"Quickly put me down."

Only then did Xiao Niuzi turn his head back.

Seeing Liu Chunmei and Chen Xiuyun, he quickly put Nannan back on the ground, feeling somewhat embarrassed himself.

Chen Xiuyun looked at the two of them, then turned her head to say to Liu Chunmei:

"Mother, it seems it is time to arrange the wedding for the two of them."

Hearing this, Nannan came to Liu Chunmei's side.

"Godmother, what are you all talking about?"

Liu Chunmei took her hand and glanced at the silver bracelet on her wrist.

"You are already wearing someone else's bracelet, yet you still won't let me talk about it?"

Nannan lowered her head to look at the silver bracelet, momentarily not knowing how to reply, and simply lowered her head with a blushing face.

Xiao Niuzi also walked over.

"Auntie."

Liu Chunmei nodded, looking at the two people standing before her, feeling happy for them in her heart.

"If the two of you can truly walk together, this is a good thing."

Speaking up to this point, she remembered Mo Shoutian once again.

"If your godfather hadn't met with disaster and could watch you and Xiao Niuzi walk together, how wonderful that would have been."

The few of them suddenly grew quiet.

Nannan grasped Liu Chunmei's hand.

"Godmother."

Liu Chunmei patted the back of her hand.

"Mother is fine, I just thought of your godfather."

Xiao Niuzi said:

"Auntie, rest assured, I will definitely treat Nannan well in the future."

Liu Chunmei looked at him.

"I watched you grow up as well, what kind of person you are, I know."

Chen Xiuyun came to Liu Chunmei's side.

"Mother, Xiao Niuzi breaking through today is also a good thing."

"If Godfather knew, he would certainly be happy as well."

Liu Chunmei nodded.

"When Xiaochuan comes out, we will settle this matter."

As soon as her voice fell, the sound of a door opening came from the direction of the Pill Refining Room.

The few of them turned their heads to look, and Mo Xiaochuan walked out from inside, holding a small porcelain bottle in his hand.

The second cauldron of foundation establishment pill had also been successfully refined, yielding a total of two pills.

As soon as he stepped into the backyard, he sensed that the aura on Xiao Niuzi's body was already different.

"You broke through?"

Xiao Niuzi nodded.

"Just broke through to the Lingtai Early Stage."

Mo Xiaochuan walked up in front of him and sensed the aura on his body.

"Your Realm is still unstable; circulate your Cultivation Technique a few more times every day and stabilize your Realm as soon as possible."

Xiao Niuzi agreed:

"Understood, Brother Xiaochuan."

Mo Xiaochuan looked toward Liu Chunmei and the others again.

"Mother, why have you all come over?"

Liu Chunmei said:

"There is just a matter to discuss with you."

She recounted what had happened just now.

After listening, Mo Xiaochuan glanced at the silver bracelet on Nannan's wrist.

Then he looked at Xiao Niuzi and asked:

"Xiao Niuzi, have you truly thought it through? Marriage is a lifelong matter once it happens."

Xiao Niuzi said:

"Brother Xiaochuan, it's not something I only started thinking about today."

"I have wanted to marry Nannan for a long time, only in the past I never dared to tell you."

As he spoke, he looked at Nannan.

"No matter what the future holds, I will protect her well."

Mo Xiaochuan said:

"Nannan is already at the Lingtai Middle Stage now, her cultivation is even higher than yours."

"If something really happens, there is no telling who will protect whom."

Xiao Niuzi scratched his head.

"Even if her cultivation is higher than mine, it doesn't delay me from treating her well."

Chen Xiuyun smiled after hearing this.

Nannan also turned her head to glance at Xiao Niuzi.

Mo Xiaochuan asked:

"Nannan, what do you think?"

Nannan lowered her head to look at the silver bracelet on her wrist and said:

"I do."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Niuzi stood there grinning from ear to ear.

Liu Chunmei took Nannan's hand.

"Since the two of you are both willing, this marriage shall be settled first. Once your father's hundred-day mourning period passes, we will hold the wedding for you two."

"Tomorrow Xiuyun and I will go find Qiuniang, settle the marriage matters first, and then pick a suitable date."

Xiao Niuzi quickly said:

"Auntie, my mother will definitely be willing."

Liu Chunmei glanced at him.

"Whether your mother is willing or not, she must say it with her own mouth."

"You are her son, such a major matter cannot be decided solely from our side."

Chen Xiuyun said:

"Mother, I will accompany you tomorrow."

"After the date is set, whatever needs to be prepared can be prepared earlier."

Liu Chunmei nodded and said:

"Alright, we will go tomorrow."

Mo Xiaochuan also said:

"Let it be handled as Mother says."

"Settle the marriage first, and get married after Father's hundred days pass; there is no need to drag it out any further."

After finishing, he looked toward Xiao Niuzi again.

"Nannan grew up alongside us since she was little, and I have always treated her like my own biological sister."

"In the future, when the two of you live together, it is completely normal to bicker a few sentences. However, if you truly dare to bully her, watch out or I will beat you up."

Xiao Niuzi quickly said:

"Brother Xiaochuan, rest assured, I won't bully her."

Nannan said from the side:

"He wouldn't be able to bully me anyway."

Xiao Niuzi said:

"That's true as well, I still can't beat you in a fight right now."

The few people in the courtyard all started laughing.

Nannan glanced at him.

"You've broken through and yet you still aren't rushing off to stabilize your cultivation, what are you standing here for all this time?"

Xiao Niuzi did not move.

"I just feel that today is a bit surreal."

"What's surreal about it?"

"I just broke through the Lingtai Realm, and you agreed to marry me."

Xiao Niuzi said:

"These two matters both happened to come together; previously, I wouldn't even dare to think of such a thing."

Nannan said:

"Look at that lack of ambition of yours."

After speaking, she pushed the silver bracelet that had slipped down her wrist back up.

Liu Chunmei patted Xiao Niuzi's arm.

"Alright, the marriage has already been settled, there will be plenty of time for you to look later."

"Return to the Cultivation Room first and stabilize your Realm."

Mo Xiaochuan also said:

"Go ahead, don't run around everywhere these two days."

Xiao Niuzi gave an acknowledgment.

When he walked to the front of the Cultivation Room door, he turned back to glance at Nannan once more.

Nannan waved her hand at him.

"Hurry up and go."
