The Hero in Exile

Chapter 206 Proposal

"Yeah, that's right, just a little to the right."

As the end of the year draws closer, the wind of Yuqing also blows into the Demon King's Castle.

Lunster was directing people to decorate the interior of the castle.

"Grandpa Lunster, what is your New Year's wish?"

"Hey, do you even need to ask? He definitely wants a grandson. At his age, grandpa definitely wants to take the child to play with him."

"You are the ones who talk too much. If you don't do your job well, you won't be paid. You dare to play a joke on the devil. Be careful to lose your head."

Lunster said this in a serious tone, but everyone just laughed and no one took it seriously.

There is no obvious sense of class among the demons nowadays. Even the workers who come to work can chat and laugh with Lunst.

The two people who were joked about had just returned from outside, holding some newly bought things in their hands.

Lunster's eyes rolled around and he didn't look in the direction of Moran Lingyu.

"But what you said is quite right. When you get older, it's like taking care of a child. I don't know if my old bones can wait until that day comes."

The workers who were still working on the stairs thought it was Lunster talking to them. After all, they had their backs to Moran and they didn't know they had returned.

"Grandpa, don't be discouraged. Maybe the Demon King will get it if he works hard next year."

"Yeah, maybe next year, right?"

After saying that, Lunster turned around and looked at the two people who he thought had not been discovered.

The two people who thought they had not been discovered were startled.

"Hey, dad, are you guys still busy? Lingyu and I just went out to buy something and didn't notice you guys when we came back."

"That's right. I just went out for a short time so nothing should have happened."

How could Lunster and the others not notice such a thing when they were right at the doorstep? Seeing the couple pretending to be ignorant, he said nothing more.

After all, they heard what was said.

"Okay, both of you go and get busy. Don't forget to come and have dinner together tomorrow night."

"Okay, we'll go first."

Moran and Lingyu quickly fled the scene.

"Grandpa, are you too impatient?"

"If I'm not in a hurry, then they won't be in a hurry."

……

They didn't talk along the way, but their faces were still hot.

Lunster's words were still buried in their hearts, and the two looked at each other with tacit understanding.

Then they crossed each other quickly like an electric shock.

"It's too early now."

"It's just too early. Don't take Dad's words to heart."

Although they said that, their eyes kept falling on Lingyu's belly.

Lingyu shook her head and thought it was too fast. She hadn't even officially married this guy yet and she didn't want to wear a wedding dress with a big belly.

Wait, what are you thinking about!

……

"By the way, Lingyu, what are you buying these for?"

Moran looked at the red paper, ink, and brush.

"This is our custom. Writing a couplet and posting it on the wall is a way to express good wishes."

Lingyu picked up the brush and suddenly remembered that she didn't know how to use it. After thinking about it, she decided it would be more practical to use magic to control it.

This couplet was written in a very elegant style and posted on the wall.

"It looks like that."

"Then you definitely don't even look at who wrote it."

Lingyu put her hands on her hips proudly.

……

"Are you ready, Lingyu?"

"I'm ready now, don't rush me."

Lingyu was wearing a red dress and pearl earrings that she had never worn before, looking like an angel on earth.

Moran's eyes were stunned. Even though he was used to Lingyu's appearance, he was still shocked.

"How does it look good?"

Lingyu tied up her hair shyly. She had noticed that Moran was stunned by her appearance, but she still wanted to listen to what he had to say.

"You are very beautiful. I always feel that I am not worthy of you."

"Don't talk nonsense, you are the one I have chosen."

As she said that, Lingyu took Moran's arm.

It’s so peaceful, but Moran can’t say it now.

Now the two of them are going outside the palace to offer blessings to the entire demon clan for the next year.

Moran looked at the girl beside him. As she was about to go out, she had lost her usual frivolous look. Now she was solemn, serious and beautiful.

"The Demon King and the Princess are out!"

As he said this, the palace door opened and two figures appeared in front of everyone.

The appearance of the two ignited the atmosphere at the scene, and thousands of people cheered for Moran and Lingyu.

Although they had not officially announced their relationship, word of their relationship had spread throughout the Demon Empire, which had already considered the former hero to be their princess.

"Everyone, this is the first Yuqing of our Demon Empire. I hope everyone will be successful in their careers and everything will go well in the new year."

After Moran finished speaking, the New Year's bell rang and gorgeous fireworks bloomed in the sky. Everyone knew that next year would be better under Moran's leadership.

"Then please raise your glasses, let us drink together and forget the sorrow of last year!"

The event ended perfectly.

Moran and Lingyu returned to the castle. The people inside had already prepared a delicious meal, and many officials from the demon clan had also arrived.

After saying goodbye to all the officials one by one, including Elena, fortunately she didn't cause any trouble.

The main thing is that Lingyu was silently watching her words and actions.

"I wish you a happy Yuqing this year as well."

Before leaving, Elena picked up the last glass of wine and wished Lingyu a happy new life.

"You too."

Lingyu didn't expect Elena to bless her, so she raised her glass in return.

Lingyu drank a lot of wine at the banquet and was a little tipsy. She could only walk in a straight line with the help of Moran.

In Lingyu's mind, Moran did not take her back to the room, but who cares, Moran can take her wherever he wants.

Moran led Lingyu to the backyard, and the spring breeze made Lingyu feel a little more refreshed.

Lingyu opened her eyes and a beautiful garden appeared before her.

"When we were in the Elf Forest, I saw that you really liked flowers and plants, so I asked someone to plant some. Do you like them?"

"This is great too Moran I love you so much."

Lingyu walked alone to the center of the garden, and the fireflies and starlight around her merged together.

Lingyu took a few steps in the garden and danced in it like a fairy.

Lingyu let her hair down and let it fall.

This time Lingyu put his hands behind his back and looked at Moran with a smile.

"How does it look good?"

The answer is as always…

Moran walked up to Lingyu and knelt on one knee.

He took out a small box from his arms.

This kind of plot couldn't be more clichéd, and you already know what's going to happen next without even thinking about it.

But she clenched her fists on her chest, her heartbeat was getting faster and faster, and she was unwilling to take her eyes off the man in front of her.

Moran opened the box and inside was an exquisite ring with a red gem.

"Beautiful lady, will you be my wife?"

Without saying too much, Moran's burning gaze just staring at Lingyu was worth more than a thousand words.

"I am willing!"

The best response is no hesitation at all.

Lingyu stretched out her right hand and waited for the other party.

Moran took it and put it on her ring finger, which symbolizes love.

This was Moran's first proposal.

It's not as formal as a wedding now, but it's enough, and there will be one in the future.

Finally, the newlyweds embraced and kissed each other under the witness of the moon.

……

"Lingyu, we haven't had that for a long time..."

Lingyu's face turned red and she buried her head in Moran's chest.

"Um……"
