Immortality? Nah, I choose to marry instead!

Chapter 31: Shenshah and Quanzhi

As soon as the teacup from her hands fell, Quanzhi almost passed out, losing all her balance at once.

The sudden revelation was like a ruthless bolt of thunder; her entire body was electrified from the damage.

Thankfully, I was sitting beside her.

The moment I saw her losing her grip, I quickly caught her.

"Hey, Quanzhi?"

By pressing her shoulders firmly, I tried to shake her back to reality.

Quanzhi's entire world went spinning when she heard what he said.

Xenia, her only rival in love, secretly married Shenshah yesterday?

Her mind kept roaring, How was this possible?

Her only solace that she alone didn't lose on her first love was cruelly tarnished by Shenshah's calm yet sharp words.

Her breath became heavy, she wanted to break free.hide her head under the pillow and cry the whole night in grief.

Her vision almost blurred out.

She felt cheated, and betrayed by Xenia.

Her good sister Xenia didn't tell her anything about it, just yesterday morning she was talking to her about some trivial things.

Their entire time, Xenia's face, because of her broken legs was so sad and filled with sorrow, this is not an expression one who is about to marry should have.

There was only one reason; she must be hiding too deep.

Xenia must have contacted Shenahah secretly and yesterday seeing that the chance was right, she ran away directly and married him even though he already had a wife named Saharika.

In an instant, her mind seemed to have guessed a thousand reasons.

"Quanzhi?"

Shenshah's constant calling finally brought her back to reality.

"Hmmm", speaking with a depressed tone she separated Shenshah's hands that were gripping her shoulders.

I knew she must have misunderstood.

"Quanzhi, it's not like what you thought!"

If I was a dense protagonist like the one I had read in those boring books before I transmigrated, I might have let things go but no! I was not one of them!

It was time to be direct. Otherwise, a big rift might permanently form between these sisters.

"Your good sister Xenia didn't cheat or betray you!"

Hearing my soft words, a little light returned to her lifeless eyes.

"She had her circumstances, you yourself think: she is so close to you, How can she not invite her only friend to her wedding?"

Quanzhu agreed, except her and Shenshah, no one talked to Xenia. Her being a cripple made things even worse.

Why will she not invite her to her wedding?

Looking at her eyes that had now started to recover their former glow, I knew the situation was in control now.

"She and I were targeted by our scammy Sect Master, that's why I was forced to take her with me."

Xenia's mind, which was clogged before, instantly activated at a lightning speed.

Yes, she recalled it was that bitchy Sect master who tore Shenshah and Saharika's wedding invitation sent to her.

Now that her head was clear, she nodded in understanding.

'Yes, both of them must have a strong reason.'

Her complexion brightened up.

She recalled how their sect master made fun of and mocked Shenshah when she went to confront her about the invitation thing, in the end, she herself was sternly scolded by her.

Looking that the opportunity was right, I held her soft-little hands in my hands and tightened them.

Quanzhi's entire body jolted by my sudden attack, but before she could resist, I spoke first,

"Quanzhi, I know you like me!"

Hearing my words, her little protest stopped right in its tracks.

"I know, just like Xenia, you have hidden feelings for me."

Her eyes became as big as the moon as she even forgot to blink.

I knew I owed these girls.

Both Xenia and Quanzhi, having an above average talent were destined to soar high leaving me behind.

But the more we interacted in the three years we spent, the more we appreciated each other.

By the time I realised that my otherworldly unorthodox views about life have subtly started influencing them, it was already too late.

The more we discussed and debated about various things in the cultivation world, the more their hearts opened towards me.

Therefore, when I left the sect before. I knew it was very cruel of me to not even leave a goodbye behind.

I would have left things passed had both of them managed to get over me.

But when Quanzhi visited me after so many months at my house that day, the amount of remorse and pain in her little eyes when she learned that I was already married and was expecting my first child, was proof that her feelings were genuine.

Those tears that day, these tears that almost came out of her eyes today could never be faked.

Similar was the case with Xenia.

She could have let anyone see her broken state but only Shenshah was not allowed to see her in such a miserable condition.

Even when she was so badly injured, she still didn't want me to see her. She still wanted to leave her beautiful image in the eyes of the one she liked.

Had I not answered her feelings yesterday, she might have choked up from the piled-up emotional stress.

I knew they were not casual girls.

Since they were attracted to me, like a man, instead of running away, I must answer their feelings. I should never leave them hanging.

"Quanzhi, there must be many things that you want to ask, but my time here is limited."

"For some reason, I can no longer come to this sect, that's why I came here one last time to visit you before leaving."

"There is something that I must tell you."

Under her deep eyes, I spoke word by word,

"What I want to tell you is that it's okay to have feelings for me."

Her closed heart, hearing my gentle words slowly started opening.

"As long as you are willing to confide in me, I won't leave you behind. I will take responsibility."

If confidence is what her timid heart lacks then I shall give her the confidence she needs.

"Didn't you once say, wouldn't it be nice if me, you and Xenia could stay together forever?"

"Now, Xenia has already married me but you are still hesitating?"

Her competitive nature to never lose to Xenia shall be the final straw that pushes her forward.

-Step by step, I attacked her reservedness.

"You know what my dream is?"

"It's to open a big family by marrying lots of capable wives like you!"

"I plan to have lots of children and spend my time loving my girls the most."

To conclude, I said something a little glib, a little shameful and surely thick-skinned but it was enough to put a sweet smile on her face.
