Chapter 1348: The Mermaid Princess (47)

He entered the villa and opened the door, finding the woman sitting in the living room, busily picking out jewelry and dresses. A smile appeared on his face.

“Qiao Chen, you're here? Hmm? Where's A'Guoguo? Didn't you send someone to bring her over? In two days, we'll be holding our wedding at the island manor. Why hasn't she arrived yet? I was just helping her choose some beautiful dresses. They're all so pretty—I'm sure she'll love them.”

“Fuya, A'Guoguo will come tomorrow.” Qiao Chen walked over and wrapped an arm around her waist. Lowering his voice, he said, “Fuya, why don't we take this opportunity to perform the life-sharing ritual? What do you think?”

“Of course!”

In truth, Fuya had wanted to perform the ritual from the very beginning.

But when Qiao Chen proposed marriage, she had already waited so long. As long as the ritual remained unfinished, she could never feel completely at ease. She was afraid that all of this was merely an illusion, that Qiao Chen had been deceiving her.

Now that they were about to be married, he had finally brought it up.

Fuya's smile widened. “Then, Qiao Chen, let's begin right now.”

The life-sharing ritual used a secret technique to connect the lives of two people together. Once the connection was established, most of Fuya's divine power would be shared with Qiao Chen.

While he was still young, the effect on her was minimal.

But as Qiao Chen grew older, most of that divine power would be used to replenish his vitality. As long as Fuya remained alive, Qiao Chen would not die. When all the divine power was eventually exhausted, the two of them would die together.

For lovers, that kind of outcome was naturally desirable.

Having made their decision, Fuya brought Qiao Chen into the bedroom.

Sitting together on the bed, a blue pearl glowing with azure light emerged from the area above her heart.

This was her Divine Heart, the source of all her divine power.

To establish the life-sharing bond, the secret technique would connect the Divine Heart to Qiao Chen's own heart.

“So this is the Divine Heart?” Qiao Chen asked.

Fuya nodded. “Yes, this is the Divine Heart. Qiao Chen, I've finally waited for this day. From now on, most of the Divine Heart's power will nourish your body, and then we'll live and die together.”

Fuya was filled with visions of their beautiful future, eagerly anticipating their life together at the manor.

Qiao Chen reached out and held the Divine Heart in his palm. “The Divine Heart really is beautiful.” Tightening his grip around it, he smiled. “Fuya, let's begin. It's time to establish our life-sharing bond.”

Fuya nodded and closed her eyes.

Qiao Chen was an ordinary human and couldn't use the secret technique, so she still had to perform it herself.

As she activated the technique, Qiao Chen could already feel the powerful connection between his heart and the Divine Heart.

However, for the ritual to be completed, both parties still had to swear their vows.

“Fuya, do you truly love me, and are you willing to share your life with me and give everything for my sake?” Qiao Chen asked according to the incantation. His eyes were filled with tenderness, and the deep affection within them instantly robbed Fuya of all ability to think.

Qiao Chen…

At last, she had finally seen that deep love in his eyes.

Overjoyed to the point of tears, she answered without the slightest hesitation.

“I am willing.”

“Qiao Chen, do you truly love me, and are you willing to share your life with me and give everything for my sake?”

After asking the question, Fuya looked at Qiao Chen expectantly, her heart beating a little faster.
