Perfect: I am Shi An from Shicun, and I am Huang’s brother!

Chapter 162 Relationship established
The scenery along the way is picturesque, with green mountains, gurgling streams, and occasional magical animals flying through. The sunlight shines through the sparse leaves, dappled on the winding path, as if nature adds softness and warmth to the young couple's journey.

Occasionally, a breeze blows, bringing the fragrance of flowers and plants in the distance, making people feel relaxed and happy.

Shi An and Yun Xi walked side by side. Although they didn't say a word, the atmosphere between them was extremely harmonious, as if their hearts were closely connected at this moment.

On the way, Yun Xi occasionally turned her head to look at Shi An, with a complex and delicate light flashing in her eyes. She wished she could understand his inner thoughts, but was afraid to touch the hidden hesitation.

Halfway through the journey, a clear stream gurgled by, with wild flowers blooming and colorful butterflies flying by the stream.

Yun Xi stopped, squatted down, and gently touched the wild flowers by the stream, with a gentle light flashing in her eyes.

Shi An also stopped and looked at Yun Xi quietly, with ripples in his heart.

He secretly wondered whether he could really let go of his worries and bravely pursue this relationship.

"Yun Xi, actually..."

After an unknown amount of time, Shi An finally seemed to muster up the courage to speak out what was in his heart. However, when the words reached his lips, they were blown away by a gust of wind and turned into a light sigh.

Hearing the noise, Yun Xi turned her head and her eyes met Shi An. When their eyes met at this moment, there was a hint of complexity and expectation in them.

"Shi An, what do you want to say?"

Yun Xi's voice is soft and delicate, as if it can blow into people's hearts.

"Whoo~"

Shi An took a deep breath, as if to expel all the hesitation and fear from his body.

He stared at Yun Xi, his own figure reflected in those clear eyes, making it impossible for him to escape.

"Yunxi, when we return to Shi Village next time, are you willing to be carried by me?"

Shi An's words were joking, but also contained seriousness and expectation. He chose a less direct, yet romantic way to express his feelings, hoping that this would gradually bridge the invisible wall between them.

When Yun Xi heard this, her body trembled slightly, and a look of surprise flashed across her face, but the next moment two red clouds appeared on her face, the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously, and her eyes bloomed with unprecedented brilliance.

She didn't expect Shi An to confess his feelings in this way. She was both surprised and felt extremely warm.

After a moment of silence, she took light steps and slowly walked in front of Shi An. The two were so close that they could feel each other's breath.

"Ok!"

Finally, she nodded gently, her voice as soft as a mosquito, but extremely firm.

After receiving Yun Xi's affirmative answer, Shi An suddenly felt relieved, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his body, and as if a warm current was flowing through his body, making him feel relaxed.

A gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He slowly reached out his hand and gently held Yun Xi's soft and boneless little hand.

Yun Xi did not retreat, but instead exerted a little force, and their hands were tightly clasped, as if to engrave the warmth of this moment in their hearts forever.

Shi An gently held Yun Xi's hand, feeling the warmth between her fingers, and whispered, "Yun Xi, thank you."

His voice was low and sincere, and every word carried his deep feelings for Yun Xi.

Hearing this, Yun Xi smiled slightly, and a happy light also flashed in her eyes: "Shi An, thank you too. You have made my waiting meaningful and no longer unreasonable."

Finally, the two smiled at each other, and everything was said without words.

Soon, the two continued their journey, but the atmosphere had quietly changed. Their pace seemed even more brisk than before, and their moods were particularly relaxed. The previous silence and hesitation were replaced by warmth and sweetness, and occasionally they would smile at each other unconsciously.

The scenery along the way seemed to become more vivid and beautiful in their eyes, and every leaf and every flower seemed to be blessing them.

During the journey, Shi An told some little stories from his previous life from time to time, which made Yun Xi laugh softly. His laughter, like silver bells, echoed in the valley, adding a bit of romance to the journey.

Yun Xi would occasionally share some strange stories about Tianshen Mountain and her childhood experiences, which made Shi An couldn't help laughing.

Finally, two months later, they finally returned to Tianshen Mountain.

"Grandfather, we are back."

On Tianshen Mountain, the residence of the Celestial Clan, Yun Canghai looked at the two young people holding hands in front of him, and couldn't help but reveal a kind and slightly meaningful smile at the corner of his mouth.

His eyes moved between Yun Xi and Shi An, as if he had already seen through the unspoken feelings between them.

"Okay, okay, I'm glad you're back."

Yun Canghai was smiling, as if he was the one who finally got married.

But soon, he suddenly thought of something, frowned, and said hesitantly: "It's just that there are still some obstacles in your matter."

"Ok?"

Yun Canghai's words made Shi An and Yun Xi look at each other, both of them were confused.

Hadn't he always been trying to promote their relationship? Why was he like this now?

Yun Xi frowned slightly and asked in confusion, "Grandfather, what do you mean by that?"

Shi An, who was standing aside, also looked at Yun Canghai with burning eyes, with anger rising in his heart.

Seeing this, Yun Canghai couldn't help but shake his head, then sighed and said slowly: "In fact, during the time you were away, the elder in the clan who has a history with the Peng clan has been instigating the other elders to let you marry into the Peng clan."

"Not long ago, Jin Yunteng of the Peng Clan came with a large gift to propose marriage, specifically asking for you as his wife. He is of noble status and is the most beloved grandson of the current Peng Clan leader."

"Also, Taiko Pengshan is a very powerful force among our Taiko Divine Mountains. Although our Celestial Race is not afraid of them, we don't want to offend them easily. Moreover, some of them are hoping to survive the desolate calamity together through marriage."

When Yun Xi heard this, her pretty face instantly changed color. She subconsciously grabbed Shi An's hand and said firmly, "Grandfather, I have made up my mind. I only want to be with Shi An in this life. I will never marry that young man from the Peng clan."

Shi An also had a firm expression and said in a deep voice: "Chief Yun, Yun Xi and I have already appeased the heaven and earth. If you promise her to someone else, then I will have to ask that person to come forward."

Seeing Shi An carrying that person out, Yun Canghai's expression suddenly changed, and he hurriedly said: "My friend, you have misunderstood. How could I stop you? I wish you could achieve the right result."

After finishing speaking, Yun Canghai's expression suddenly darkened: "It's just that it's really hard to explain to the Peng Clan."

"We are both from one of the ancient sacred mountains, so we should be of the same blood. Moreover, when Yunxi was young, that elder discussed this matter with the Peng clan, so..."

"Report!"

At this moment, a Tianren guard hurried over, knelt on one knee and reported: "Chief, the Peng Clan envoy requests to see you."

Looking at this guard who had no sense at all, Yun Canghai's face suddenly froze, but he did not scold him. He just waved his hand and asked him to retreat.
