Chapter 48: Raising a Bride 9

There are no calendars in the mountains, and the seasons changed again and again.

The two, who were almost isolated from the world outside, lived peacefully in the valley as usual, and the beautiful little girl gradually matured and transformed into a charming young lady who was as graceful as moonlight.

Xie MingLang had participated in every single stage of Gu MingYue's growth, and he was extremely proud that his little daughter had finally grown up to be an extremely charming and beautiful young lady, but at the same time, he was also filled with anxiety that she would one day find true love in another man and leave his side once and for all.

Thankfully, as she grew, there were zero signs of that happening, and he was delighted at Gu MingYue's undiminished attachment to him. There had always been a strong bond between the two of them from the very start, but he often wondered if she truly loved him as an individual man or if it was merely a sense of dependency for an older fatherly figure.

Although both scenarios would still put her in the same situation and he shouldn't overthink such details, in actuality, the difference between the two was more than a thousand miles away. Xie MingLang knew that he regarded her as his one and only woman, and this fact had greatly contributed to his anxiety as he could not stand the slightest flaw in their relationship.

Gu MingYue was finally fifteen years old, and according to Xie Yi's life trajectory, she had lived her short fifteen years with little to no contact with other young men outside the valley. And even when she did enter the town to visit the market, Xie MingLang had always accompanied her, so even if she wanted to, there were no chances for her to get to know other men of her age personally. This had inevitably made him the only man in her life.

As for Xie MingLang, he was tall and handsome, and he was considered one of the better-looking men in town. In addition to his outstanding looks, as the illegitimate son of a mistress from a large noble family, the people in town still regarded him as a noble because he had grown up with a noble family's education.

Hence why, though his words and deeds were rough, his demeanor had never been vulgar.

And because the innocent and charming girl had never been too deeply involved in the world outside, plus the man who raised her was handsome, strong, and well-rounded, Xie MingLang was completely unsure whether Gu MingYue's affections toward him was an unchangeable habit or was it an unbreakable love between a man and a woman.

However, no matter the truth, Xie MingLang had long since fallen into the abyss of immorality, and he could never escape its clutches even if he tried. This was why, as long as he could not be sure of the true feelings Gu MingYue felt towards him, he would always stay overwhelmed with self-loathing and guilt.

Worst of all, he could not even leave this hopeless situation, because there was no way he would allow Gu MingYue to live in this cold world alone, and he cannot accept the fact that she might belong to another man after he was gone. Besides, she was such a charming and beautiful young lady, and beauty that came without a strong family background would not last in such troubled times.

She was someone special that Xie MingLang wanted to protect all his life, and unless something unpredictable happened to him, no one else in this world was allowed to hurt a single hair on her body.

However, living in such an era, what made him the most grieved and indignant was probably the loss of order and the lack of laws. Plus the fact that he was born with a humble status, making his strength similar to a single water droplet in the ocean.

If anything happened to her, he might not be able to protect her even if he gave up everything he had, including his own life.

And whatnot, if what he thought of as being in love with each other suddenly proved to be just his wishful thinking, Xie MingLang did not know if he would ever be able to accept such a ridiculous and miserable life.

On the other hand, Gu MingYue had zero clue that under Xie MingLang's calm face was such a delicate and sensitive heart. The influence she had on this man had long since developed beyond her expectations.

However, even if she knew about the man's thoughts and unease, Gu MingYue could only hold her forehead helplessly. Still, she would nonetheless blame Xie MingLang for explaining the love between a man and a woman in such a messy way and 'coaxing' her into a physical relationship when Xie Yi was too young to tell what was morally right and wrong.

Furthermore, judging from what Xie Yi had learned so far, it should be assumed that she was not taught the difference nor understood the uniqueness of the relationship between the two, and that what she had thought to be a 'curing session' was actually morally wrong.

Gu MingYue knew this clearly from the start, but she had acted as Xie Yi would've done to accommodate Xie MingLang's biggest lie. It was her greatest performance, as she had to control the balance between somewhat understanding their actions while still being somewhat ignorant of what they meant.

In fact, it had been extremely emotionally tiring as she did not have it easier than Xie MingLang.

On the day of her first bleeding, she was actually

On the day of her first bleeding, Gu MingYue was actually in a physical brawl with Xie MingLang on his bed. She was lying sideways on the bed with one leg held up high as he rammed her vigorously. Her head was facing towards the side as the man devoured her perky lips while stirring up her mouth with his big fat tongue, causing both upper and lower lips to be blocked and connected with the man.

All of a sudden, Gu MingYue felt a sharp pain within her lower abdomen, as if there were sudden twitching contractions stirring her insides, and immediately after, she felt a wave of heat flowing out of her.

Meanwhile, thinking that he had sent his little daughter into yet another climax, ready to release his seeds within her again, Xie MingLang picked up speed and started ramming her with unprecedented force, only to hear her tender cry, "Daddy! Yi Er's stomach hurts!"

Not wanting to hurt her, Xie MingLang had no choice but to pull himself out from her walls, only to realize that his shaft was filled with blood mixed with her translucent liquid!

Being a man, his first reaction was to be in shock as he wondered if he had been having too much sex with his young daughter and injuring her insides, but it suddenly occurred to him that the blood might've been a sign that her body had finally matured!

"Daddy... Am I going to die......?" Gu MingYue's eyes were filled with terrified tears as she said with a shaky voice.

In fact, this situation had brought up her memories of the first time she'd had her period in her original world, and it had caused her much anxiety for quite a while. In ancient times, any form of bleeding would be considered strange and fatal, and yet, this form of monthly bleeding was something she could not help but accept.

Xie MingLang hurriedly explained that this was an ordinary situation, and that she did not need to panic or fear it. And after the chaotic cleaning and preparation work, Gu MingYue managed to calm down a little.

It was also worth mentioning that the matured Gu MingYue was like a delicious and juicy peach, and Xie MingLang, who did not want her to conceive a child prematurely, rarely ejaculated within her walls after that.

All seemed well, but after experiencing many different mission worlds, Gu MingYue clearly understood the protagonist halo of the heroine, and more importantly, the occurrence of the original story was inevitable to a certain extent.

Furthermore, in order for her mission to be considered a success, the promise1 made by the male protagonist will only take effect after he had met the heroine.

This was because the male protagonist had to meet and experience the heroine's protagonist halo, and make the oath to Gu MingYue after resisting the fatal attraction of the heroine, otherwise, any sort of promises before that would have no credit to her mission!

And so, after three dull years of arrival in this world, it was finally time for Xie MingLang to meet the heroine of this world.

OHYAY an update! 😊😊

Enjoy~
