Minutes have passed, two lips parted and both softly panted for air.

But Blare felt like it would never end, as much as she wanted to block the noise of passion by going far, the body is somehow, still tied to her.

So she can only sit on the nearby ground and watch the cicadas.

Both faces turned red. The man's gaze was full of love while the other was full of joy and love.

"I cannot give you a lavish life, but I promise to protect you.. even if it costs my life" Zhao Kang said as he embraced Fang Chunhua.

Fang Chunhua smiled in satisfaction, but her reply held sadness at his last words, "Kang... I never asked for your life"

"It is only your right... As I am right now, it is the least that I can offer for your dowry" Zhao Kang joked as he held Fang Chunhua's waist.

Fang Chunhua giggled and said, "Then for your dowry, I will offer my life as well.."

Noticing his furrowed brows, she added, "Kang, a husband and wife should offer the same amount of sacrifices. If both are unbalanced, how can they live harmoniously? That's why I am offering the same sacrifice."

".... Then, rely on me Chunhua. Rely on me more.." he said as she kissed the palm of her hand.

Relying on a guy will boost their ego.

Relying on a man will make them powerful.

But relying on your love, future husband-to-be or husband will make them feel secured.

After all, they do not want their woman and future wife to be burdened. They want them safe and to live without worries.

'You two are not even married yet' Blare watched the romance between the two. She was fangirling a while ago but felt that it was too fast.

Then Fang Chunhua giggled,

Blare shot her a look, then saw Fang Chunhua eyes darted on her. Then turned her attention back to Zhao Kang.

'Oh wow.. Now I feel like a pervert' Blare mouthed as she shrinks into the corner.

"Hm. In turn, I will serve you well" Fang Chunhua's eyes turned into crescents as she smiled.

Slowly, the sun started to rise. The servants started appearing and the two kept a proper distance.

But this time, both held each other's hand.

_______________

A month had passed since their stay in the Wanshu Empire. They decided to go back to the Yang Empire and traveled 4 months back home.

In those 4 months, Fang Chunhua did not keep her relationship with Zhao Kang a secret to her friends.

Both girls squealed in delight at the two. While the two men clapped at Zhao Kang for being so brave.

They also paid respects in advance in case he got whooped by General Fang Lei.

Which Zhao Kang only shrugged in response. He was ready to take General Fang's wrath.

Little did he know, there was no wrath waiting back home.

Fang Chunhua and Zhao Kang would always act like a married couple, but not overstepping.

After all, they were not married yet. So doing what a husband and wife do is out of their thoughts.

They would also sleep separately. At most, all they've done for the past 4 months of traveling is holding hands.

Blare, who was watching all of this, nodded in satisfaction. She's a little conservative about how couples should interact but ironically enjoyed seeing passionate interactions.

However, after knowing that Fang Chunhua can see her, she would not dare to look the second time.

Only if she can still be in this world.

'I already completed the three wishes, especially the last wish... Besides, I'm sure the Fang family's safety is guaranteed since she didn't marry Wang Jianyi. So.. aren't I done? Why am I still here?' Blare's soul watched the night sky as she sat outside Fang Chunhua's tent.

"Blare.." the sweet soft voice of Fang Chunhua called her. Blare's soul passed through the tent. There, she saw Fang Chunhua sitting.

Blare only looked at Fang Chunhua, trying to find answers from her.

"You can go back, I'm sure system 127 will get you later," She said as she smiled, full of gratitude.

Blare's eyes lit up and she mouthed 'thank you' to Fang Chunhua.

"Blare... It is me who have to thank you. Thank you for fulfilling my wishes and thank you.. for finding my love for me... May you find yours as well"

Blare's eyes widened in surprise. She wanted to say that she doesn't plan to find love, but she also didn't want to spoil the woman's good intentions.

So Blare can only smile in response.

'May you live long and happily together with your love, Fang Chunhua. Along with your family and future generations.' Blare said, although no voice came out. Fang Chunhua understood this.

Their conversation was cut off when a girly voice said, [Blare! Mission Accomplished! It is time to go back!]

When Blare's soul started disappearing, she immediately waved goodbye to Fang Chunhua while the woman bowed her head and looked at Blare, giving her iconic smile that turned her eyes into crescents.
