Immortality? Nah, I choose to marry instead!

39  Only those who have felt the pain of betrayal can understand!

Angela, who stood at the door, watched the play that unfolded in front of her eyes full of interest.

Her head was full of thoughts.

'Awesome, it seems there is already tension at the house. It will be much easier for me to fan the flames.'

'If Shenshah refuses this Leona who wants to take Xenia away with her, he will face the ire of the entire Ice Sect.'

'Leona already said that Xenia has a special cold ice physique which is perfect for the core cultivation manual of their sect. You do know a core cultivation technique is the foundation of a sect, and for a big sect like Ice Sect which has always ranked 6 on the Sect Rankings, you can expect how great their most profound-core cultivation technique should be.'

'Since Leona mentioned this, it means elders from her sect long expected Xenia to be also talented like her late mother. Their willingness to teach her core technique means that they plan to cultivate Xenia as one of their saintess, they will invest in her to the fullest and tie her with the sect. Given their expectations and her talent, Xenia should become a strong person in future.'

'There's no way this Shenshah can protect his wife.'

Angela's face was full of ridicule as she examined the situation.

I took a deep breath and patted Xenia's arms that were clinging to my right sleeve.

Bending a little, I gently held her trembling shoulders.

Feeling the gravity of the situation, Saharika made some space, standing at some distance from us.

"Xenia, my wife!"

"Listen to me!"

With a loud shout, I was the focus of everyone's attention.

"Yes, as you know, following this woman to Ice Sect, you might be able to recover your legs."

"You might be able to recover your cultivation base and perhaps even achieve great benefits."

"It's almost sure to say that you heck might even become someone most cherished and doted upon!"

"No you probably will definitely soar to new heights!"

"But choosing so might separate us!"

"I know I should be selfish and outrageously deny, but I want to hear your opinion."

"If you really want to leave me and go, then I won't stop you, but if you say that you want to stay with me....even if the stars fall, even if the land we stand on disappears, I assure you I will never let go of your hand."

After I spoke, there was pin-drop silence.

At this moment, whether it was Angela full of capricious thoughts, Leona with her arrogance, and even Saharika who was full of love for her husband, all of them looked at Xenia to see what decision she will make.

'Haha, such a big opportunity, who in their right mind would say no?'

Leona just chuckled lightly as if she knew what decision Xenia will make.

'Sister Xenia, it's okay! If you decide to leave our husband, I won't blame you! Everyone has a dream and aspiration they want to follow. Instead of staying with us and regretting for the rest of your life, it's better to go! Since the husband asked about your opinion it means he respects your wishes!'

Saharika took a deep breath, a part of her still felt sad upon thinking to separate from her new sister.

'This is best! Hehe!'

'I don't even need to do anything and one wife is about to leave this trash boy who angered my master!'

'Go Xenia! Go!'

'Just say yes and I will be the first to support you!'

-Angela laughed out aloud in her little head.

Xenia took a deep breath, she waited for a full five seconds before a beautiful smile bloomed on her face.

Even though she was sitting on her wheelchair, her calm demeanor was comparable to a fairy.

With her soft hands, she held Shenshah's pair of big hands.

She could feel the sweat on them, realising that like her, he too was tensed, she very well understood his emotions that were even more turbulent than hers. Yes, she understood that as a husband, he wanted the best for her, but at the same time, he wanted to kind of monopolize, kind of selfishly keep her tied to him, after all, who wants their wives to leave them, but this selfishness of his, he kept hidden.

He still asked her what she wanted!

He respected her wishes. This touched something deep within her heart.

This inexplicable sweetness brought a rejoicing smile on her previously saddened face.

Xenia's increased her grip over his nervous hands.

Her head was clear, her heart hadn't beat so loudly before.

When all the people in the sect left her, only Shenshah was the one who didn't despise her broken legs.

Only he was the one who didn't mock or tell her that her future life was now useless.

Without any prejudice, he married her and brought long-cherished happiness in her gloomy life.

"My husband!"

"You don't have to put a righteous face and ask about my opinion any further!"

"On the day I married you, I promised to heaven and earth that I will always love and follow you for the rest of my life!"

"It doesn't matter if my mother was some great elder of the infamous Ice Sect!"

"It doesn't matter if I have some special Ice physique!"

"Even if my limbs can be repaired…..Even if I can walk again or become some saintess after joining the Ice Sect, if the condition is that I will be separated from my husband then I don't want it!"

The moment became emotional as Xenia's eyes almost blurred,

"Only those who have been cheated and have felt the sour taste of betrayal can know the true worth of some sacred things, and this bond of husband and wife between us is exactly that sacred thing."

It is said that once someone starts talking from the heart, courage automatically starts coming, and so was the case with Xenia, n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Therefore, unless you beat me up and throw me some place far-away, I won't leave you!"

"So what if I can't walk for the rest of my life?…Like a leech I will be pasted to you as long as I live!"
