Chapter 754: 136. The inexhaustible life (Happy New Yearâs Eve)âOh, indeed a renowned scholar,â Valentina teased with a smile, âeven during our holy marriage, you want to share knowledge with me that Iâm unaware of.â
But Fisher shook his head with a smile and explained to her as he looked down at Valentina in his arms,
âTo say Iâm sharing knowledge isnât quite the whole story⌠Iâm explaining⌠because I, too, am a Nali, and in a sense naturally possess a desire to seek and explore beyond whatâs known. Otherwise, I wouldnât have discovered such a beautiful treasure today, would I?â
It was clear what his so-called âbeautiful treasureâ referred to as his gaze never strayed from her.
Valentina blushed, burying her heated cheek against his chest and sneakily pinched his muscle,
âSuch wordsâŚâ
She left the rest unsaid, and Fisher did not press, only starting to read her flushed pink earlobe hidden in his embrace,
âFisher, I am truly happy today⌠I know that for the Nali people, marrying at nineteen is far too premature, and I am aware of my naivetĂŠ and the many areas where Iâm not quite mature, but my decision today was made after careful consideration. So even if there is no other way to keep me alive, no way to achieve my wish to run alongside you, itâs enough.â
Fisher paused slightly, his footsteps slowing down a bit. He knew Valentina was considering what to do if there was no method within the Wutong tree that could change her flesh and bones. Fisher couldnât be certain either; the legacy of the Moon Princess didnât clarify what to do if, just if, she truly passed away from their world before turning twenty because of her bloodline.
For some reason, Fisherâs thoughts drifted to Erwinâs Life Completion Manual and his own Soul Completion Manual. If he possessed both manuals, then even if Valentina diedâŚ
Just before the whispers began to murmur in his ear, a pair of chilly hands suddenly caressed Fisherâs cheek, drawing his gaze down to meet Valentinaâs eyes.
With a smile, she simply said,
âI mean it, itâs really enough. If everything does come to an end, it will suffice that you donât forget me after today⌠Actually, Iâve been pondering the question you asked me in the dream before. If the phoenixes could truly foresee the future, why did they still perish?â
âIâve always felt that itâs normal to make efforts to change a foreseeable prophecy, but itâs not necessary to be reckless about it. To give up everything weâve had for a mere chance at more life, for a faint hope⌠itâs too undervaluing⌠When I realized I might die at twenty, I felt deeply how unfair it was and wanted to try to live even one more day longer.â
âBut can the worldâs happiness ever be exhausted?â
âAt Snowflake Fortress, I wanted to go outside; once outside, I wanted to communicate with like-minded people; after communicating, I met you and wanted to know more about you; after getting to know you, I wanted to be with you forever. How much happiness must I gather to be satisfied?â
Valentina closed her eyes, holding Fisher tightly beside her, and said,
âSo, Fisher, just for today, I give everything to you. I am still by your side, in your eyes, accepting and loving an incomplete me⌠Just such a today is already enough.â
In his arms, Valentinaâs delicate frame was so light it could hardly be grasped, her trailing garments hid her missing legs like the feathers of phoenix tails, creating long, long traces in the snowy ground.
The whispers in his ear slowly dissipated, perhaps due to her words, and at this moment, Fisher, a true son of the Nali people, felt content.
âThump thump thump~â
Within the walls, the candles had been lit, and the female trolls who had been working were now being pulled away from the area surrounding the Wutong tree statue by their husbands.
Tonight, they were to wed in holy marriage.
