Hualian's Arranged Marriage

Chapter 4: Accepting the Proposal?

1 week after the Feast

8:00 am
Heavenly realm

Xie Lian was plucking flowers from his very own gardens. He liked all sorts of flowers. It made him happy. He planted different kinds of flowers. From Roses to sunflower, lotuses to lilies all flowers were his favourite.

He was plucking them by the branch so he can put them in a pot. He then sits on a tea table area under a tree shadow. The tree was huge with loads of white flowers covered on top of it. Sometimes when chill winds blew the flowers rained on the table and the ground. It looked so beautiful.

He sits and keeps his basket of flowers on the table. He enjoys the morning tea with calmness. Suddenly he remembers about the proposal again.

He had been remembering it since that day. Maybe even Gods want him to marry the Ghost King. Oh how foolish indeed he is the God.

He remembers the Necklace suddenly and looks at it intently. It didn't lose it's shine. Even if it was worn over 5 days. It still looked new. Xie Lian thought maybe he should ask the elders. They are more experienced about this world than him.

What will the Heavenly realm think when he gets married to a Person who is from the Ghost Realm? A God and a Ghost? Will they be a good match? Wouldn't this be against the social norms? Wouldn't this be a shame to him? Wouldn't everyone think he is gone so low that now he is marrying a Ghost King? All these type of questions hover in Xie Lian's mind. His mind is never at pace. What shall he do to tame his mind?

' Wind master Shi Qingxuan?? Should I ask wind master Shi Qingxuan about what shall I do? He always helped me when I am in the worst of situations. Let's get his point of view regarding this marriage proposal.'

Thus, Xie Lian went straight to Shi Qingxuan.

"Wind master." Xie Lian bows.

"Your highness." Wind Master nods.
"Your highness, what brings you here at this hour?" Wind master asked him out of query.

"Wind master... Regarding the proposal..." Xie Lian was hesitant to speak about it.

"Oh... His highness... About that..."

Xie Lian looked at Shi Qingxuan.

"Well your highness... Regarding this.... Sudden proposal... That too from the Ghost.. King.. I will say... You should follow your heart... No one is forcing you to... It all depends on you your highness... Do not worry... Come with me your highness let's discuss about this with everyone and then maybe you can make up your mind. Even the lord Jun Wu wants a response it's been a week..."

Xie Lian nodded in a sigh.

Does Xie Lian like this Ghost King? Well... He never even met him how can he even decide? Judging by the gift he seems wealthy. But what if he is just wealthy and not kind? What if he treats him not like as if he loves him. This he wanted to know very bad. He wanted to stay with the Ghost King to judge him clearly. Deep inside it did impress him when he gifted him the necklace which looked Adorable. Maybe this Ghost King is what he is looking for?
