Chapter 781
Sigh
Wu Yan looked absolutely inebriated . Asuna who was walking alongside Wu Yan sighed for the nth time .
"I thought you said you could handle it?..."
Asuna grumbled .
"Mind explaining your current state?..."
Cough
Wu Yan hiccuped, the smell of booze caused Asuna to knit her eyebrows . Wu Yan bitterly laughed before he said sorry .
"My bad, Asuna, I didn't think I would be this drunk..."
"But it's not my fault!"
Wu Yan immediately shirked his responsibilities . The Knights of Blood must have used some kind of substance to increased their alcohol resistance . And, they also took turns tapping in and tapping out, that's just not fair!"
Asuna pouted with a dissatisfied look . She somewhat knew Wu Yan fell into this because of his relationship with her . She wasn't actually that mad with Wu Yan . They looked like a drunk husband being tended to by his caring wife, it was a bit terrible but wholesomeness is definitely an element within it .
Hence, Asuna mumbled her thoughts .
"Seriously, think more about the consequences the next time . Even if you say you're okay, how are you going to take care of Yui while looking and smelling like this?"
"You have a point there..."
Wu Yan helplessly shook his head, as if this would clear his head up .
"Fortunately, Sachi and the others are going to be there . With my current state, Yui will probably go to bed hungry . "
Asuna blinked her eyes and she started chuckling .
"Sachi and the others were over the moon . They always talked about how they wanted to sleep together with Yui in the real world . Now, they got their wish..."
Wu Yan shrugged, he nonchalantly continued .
"I believe they just want to use Yui as their hugging pillow . Girls, they just can't resist cute and pretty stuff, huh..."
"Hmm?"
Asuna's face turned dangerous, she told him off with a snort .
"Don't generalize girls like that!"
"I mean, isn't it normal for them to like cute and pretty stuff?..."
Wu Yan continued .
"I guess I am the only one then..."
"What was that?"
Asuna's ears twitched as a rabbit would . She looked at Wu Yan with an ambiguous smile .
"You mean like you cute and pretty stuff...?"
"Yeah..."
"Girls like Silica?..."
"Don't leave me hanging like that!"
Wu Yan retorted .
"By the way, how did this turn into a topic about girls?!"
Asuna snorted and she turned her head the other way . She gave Wu Yan a sideways glance with her chestnut-brown eyes .
"You need to work on your observational skills..."
Asuna's slightly sour words made Wu Yan speechless . He wasn't sure if he should laugh or cry but his eyebrows were definitely twitching .
He admits he can be rather loose with his principles regarding monogamy but it's not like he's deliberately flirting with so many girls .
I don't believe I have that much game, why is she getting jealous all of a sudden?...
"Asuna..."
After shaking off his drunken state, Wu Yan straightened his back,however, he continued leaning his head against Asuna, maintaining their close and intimate distance .
"Did Liz got it right when she said you're eager to get hitched?"
"S-says who?!"
Like a cat with its tail stepped on, her eyebrows went up .
"Marriage, in a hurry, hmph, it's not like I am afraid no one wants me, right?..."
"Yeah yeah yeah, Asuna-sama's charm value is through the roof..."
Wu Yan joked with her . Before she can get mad, he interrupted her .
"Right, there's somewhere I need to go..."
Asuna flinched .
"Wh-where is that?..."
"Well..."
Wu Yan gave her a cheeky smile . He pulled her along in a certain direction .
"Come with me and you will find out!"
"Wait... Wait a minute..."
"I said wait..."
Asuna tagged along with Wu Yan for about half an hour when Wu Yan finally let go .
"Y-you..."
Asuna panted with her hands on her knees . She glared at Wu Yan .
"I told you to wait, didn't I?!"
"Sorry, my bad..."
Wu Yan laughed it off while scratching his cheek .
"If we didn't hurry up, the sun would have set and we would have missed the thing I wanted to show you..."
"Mou..."
Asuna sighed to expel the angry air within herself . She patted her chest and she started talking to him with hands on her waist .
"If it's not satisfying, I am not going to forgive you, you know..."
"Relax!"
Wu Yan confidently said .
"I promise you're going to like it!"
Asuna, unconvinced, asked him about it .
"Well, where is it?..."
Wu Yan grinned and he pressed down on Asuna's shoulders .
"Don't blink okay..."
Wu Yan slowly backed away and the scene behind him unfolded . When Asuna looked, she was frozen in place .
She covered her mouth as a look of disbelief spread across her face . She was captivated by what she saw and this showed, she didn't avert her gaze at all .
In front of her, with the setting sun as the backdrop, the orange-yellowish rays of the setting sun lit up every corner of this place . The soft glow of the setting sun lit up the round-shaped flower patch, the flowers left long shadows that looked magical . Then, a wave of petals came swirling along with the gale, dancing and twirling in the sky like fairies chasing each other .
Beautiful, it was just, stunning!
The beauty of this scene wasn't the only reason why Asuna got mesmerized . What truly got her was the resemblance between this place and Floria . It looked similar to the time when Wu Yan and Asuna got married in SAO .
"No... way..."
The overwhelming visual input got translated into a magnifying ripple that echoed throughout her soul . She just couldn't believe everything she's seeing right now, it looked out of this world .
Wu Yan grabbed Asuna by the hand as they slowly walked towards the floral garden . They stopped at the center of the place as they looked into each other's eyes .
They weren't wearing formal nuptial clothing, aside from that, it looked just like when they got married .
"Well? Do you like it?..."
Wu Yan smiled at Asuna who is still taking it all in .
"It took me quite some time to find a place like this . There aren't as many flowers here but this should do, right?"
Asuna nodded with an enchanted look . She couldn't stop looking around her . Wu Yan bitterly laughed . He took out a box after inhaling deeply . He opened it in front of Asuna .
Asuna was temporarily stunned but her eyes widened when she saw the content of that box .
Inside the box laid a ring .
It's a wedding ring!
"The promised wedding ring..."
Wu Yan took the ring out and he presented it to Asuna . He tilted his head and he beamed at her .
"Asuna, will you marry me?..."
The sentence echoed incessantly in Asuna's ears . She covered her mouth as tears streamed down her face . Her weeping sound escaped her fingers .
Her heart melted...
Asuna nodded . She nodded vigorously, despite the tears flowing down her cheeks, she glomped Wu Yan, jumping into his embrace . Wu Yan smiled while the sound of someone trying to hold their tears back continued reverberating in that area .
