On My Way: The Demon King Made Me His

Chapter 155: She did not say yes

Feng stood in front of her, his wings spread out, the form of Phoenix. It was unexpected and pretty hurtful to see that he turned into his true self knowing well that if would make hi go weak. 

Ariana got up from her bed and ran towards him immediately, crashing him with her hug. He was weak but she did not remember that. She could not understand how he managed to enter the house. But it was very surprising. She cried and cried, standing there hugging him. She could not help it. She did not think further. 

He tried consoling here and kissed dher forehead, and patted her back. And he waited out for her to stop crying. A few minutes later she came back to her sense and let him go. "Where did you go? Why could I not find you anywhere?" She asked him. Wondering what exactly happened the other day. 

"We were manipulated and hypnotized. King Dylan is best at that, he made us think that we cannot see other and made us search in two different places. You did not see me while I was lying right next to you, I did not see you while you were sitting right next to me too, our minds changed, we got into trouble, we panicked and we ran out of the room. They lured us into their trap perfectly.

"Who could have planned better than this except King Dylan?" Ariana said and took a few steps forward again. She saw something gleaming on his head. She wanted to take a look at that. But he moved away and distracted her. 

"Ariana marry me," he offered out of the blue.

"What?" She got shocked.

He repeated it again, "Marry me," he said looking all serious. 

"You are not kidding right?" She asked him.

"Why? Why would I?" He asked her. 

To Ariana this felt too soon, but to Feng everyday was a lose. But she was yet to know the truth. "Tell me," he said, urging her.

"I.. I don't know," she said. 

"Oh," he was hurt.

"I mean, I know, I mean I.. i love you, but, marriage.. isn't too quick to think about that, I mean you know, we just started dating," she said. She tried make it clear to him. 

"Hmm.." that is all he managed today. 

"Listen," he said. "I am going back, I cannot stay long, I know I cannot run away for long, so I have decided to go back with King Dylan, I guess this is a goodbye for now," 

"No, wait, please," she said holding on to him. "Don't go, I will protect you," she said..she hugged him tight. He laughed lightly. 

"Relax, King Dylan takes good care of me, he would never hurt me," he said to her. "He needs me so you do not have to worry about that," 

She looked at him with sorrowfully. "Hmm....." she said and let him go. She gave him a quick kiss and then waved at him. Like he came, he just disappeared, apparating. Nobody knew about his visit. 

Feng went back straight to the Underwater Realm and King Dylan let him into the barriers immediately. He did not show any anger or things. Instead he welcomes Feng back. 

"Feng'er," he smiled and patted Feng's shoulders. "Do not ever repeat this again, " he warned him. 

"You know there is never going to be a next time," he said straight. 

"Don't say it," King Dylan closed his eyes and said. Feng smiled. 

"I know you are looking forward to know the truth by experimenting with me, I know how like my core could be kept hot and I know well that living under water was one of the reasons my core got damaged, can you deny it?" Feng asked this time, to get some truthful answers. And King Dylan had nothing to say, to deny but agree to it all silently. He took a deep breath.

"Feng, my son," King Dylan began. "You have grown into a dine young man," he said. "Am so proud of you, am happy that you put a fight, resistance, you know how to live now, your happiness is important," 

"You mean to say that my happiness should not cross the boundires of Underwater Realm right," Feng mocked the king.

"Haha.." King laughed it off. "Go rest," he said and left the court. 

But Feng went straight to meet the doctor, to get treatment. He was sick, extremely tired and unhappy. 

"You overworked this time, I asked you to never use your real form. What have you done?" 

"I had to," he said. He did not wish to explain further. 

"Never go out again, I thought you would heal when you leave but you have come back even worse," healer said feeling Feng's pulse. 

"I am not expecting anything, I did want to live, I still do, but I know I cannot turn back the time," he smiled sadly. 

"If only you were not hurt, if only your core was let to grow completely. If only we could let you incarnate often, with the set up here, Tai had locked it up, we are sorry that we could never provide you with it," 

"Let us not talk about that," he said. 

"We are really..." But Feng stopped the old man. 

"Please, I do not want the pity or sympathy, it makes me feel depressed even more, just do not mention it again," the healer nodded his head and left. Feng walked back to his room.

He laid down and recollected the moments while he was put. While he was with. An innocent mermaid he unexpectedly fell in love with. He could not help but wish to live long with her. He knew well that asking her to marry him was foolishness, but he longed for it all of a sudden, he wanted to enjoy a little bit of time like that, he wanted to know what it is like to have a family. But he also felt guilty to ask her and to waste her life. Thinking about that, he wished he never asked her. 

Feng was tired and fell asleep. On the meanwhile, Ariana rejected the food maids have her and made her father come meet her. 

"What the hell do you think you are doing Ariana?" He shouted at his daughter. 

"Pa, hell is better than this, I have lived there and have realized that," she said back counter attacking her father. 

"You would say this and more than this, that's how much unfilial you are," 

"I do not care about that," she said angrily. 

"How dare you?" He said and raised his arms but paused and withdrew them back. Ariana did not even flinch. "Goofing around with a random guy, are you that shameless and desperate for a man?" He scolded her.

"Just think that is the way I am," she snapped back. 

"What do you even know about him?" He asked her.

"Everything!" She claimed.

"Then why do wish to become a widow, do you not wish to live with somebody with a longer lifespan?" He asked her, revealing the truth that is supposed to be a secret. Ariana grew pale in shock, it is something she has never heard before. He never told her that ofcourse, Feng. 

"What?" She asked her father. Thinking of trying to back his daughter from going behind a dead guy, he spill out everything to Ariana. 

"His primordial dan is dying, he could never get into Nirvana and reincarnate as a Phoenix must, since Tai took over locked them, his life span of this incarnation is ending, he will die any day, just let the damned feelings go," Ariana had tears in her eyes. Her heart ached and felt crushed. Yes she did notice how weak he looked, but she was not expecting the death dooming on his head. She recalled how he asked her to marry on, he must have loved her so much that he wished to live with her. She regretted rejecting him instantly. Anger filled her as she looked at her father. She pushed him away and ran out. 

"If you leave home, you shall never return back," her father warned her. 

"And I choose to not return," she said heartlessly and left. Nobody expected that, none. All she could think of at the moment was him, Feng, and give him everything he deserves.

She swam all the way for a day, and found the entrance somehow, she was tired and but she had made up her kind. She was welcomed immediately. The barriers lifted, the gates were opened, and there stood him. She teared up, she sobbed. And went straight towards him. Into his arms. He hugged her tight, holding her close. People around then turned around. They did not care about anything else. She kissed his deep, as if it is not enough. 

"Marry me," she said pulling back and breathing heavily. She did not think twice. "Please, please marry me Feng'er, I want you, I need you, marry me," she proposed to him.
