One day later.

Mu Jinyu went to the Atlantis ruins and collected enough divine souls to create six Heaven-reaching spiritual treasures.

But the price was that the exotic beasts cultivating the Divine Path here were almost completely slaughtered by Mu Jinyu.

Mu Jinyu didn't feel any guilt about this, nor did he think he was wantonly killing the innocent.

After all, these exotic beasts that cultivate the Divine Path originally practiced by beguiling human minds with their souls, making them their followers, absorbing the belief incense to achieve their position as evil gods!

Now it's just because no one lives in Atlantis that they can't stir up big troubles, but that doesn't mean they are good-natured.

Therefore, Mu Jinyu felt no guilt whatsoever when reaping them like chives.

After collecting enough divine souls.

Mu Jinyu didn't rush back to Yinlong Mountain but immediately began refining a Heaven-reaching spiritual treasure-level engagement ring on the spot.

Although doing so might reduce the function of the Heaven-reaching spiritual treasure, as treasures in the shapes of cauldrons, towers, bells, swords, gourds, etc., usually better manifest their effects.

But it doesn't matter; Gu Xiyan and the others already have a Heaven-reaching spiritual treasure. Now, even though the Heaven-reaching spiritual treasure ring he's crafting is somewhat wasteful and underutilized, as long as it makes them happy, it's fine.

"Buzz buzz!!"

Under the fierce burning within the Dragon Phoenix Cauldron, the Sky Star Pattern Framework was gradually forged by Mu Jinyu into the shape of a ring. He then took out the Red Lotus Red Jade Marrow, cut it into a polyhedron, and set it onto the ring...

At this moment, he took out many divine souls of exotic beasts and threw them inside to provide an artifact spirit for the ring!

"Boom boom!!"

Since he had the experience of forging a Heaven-reaching Treasured Sword for Jian Ruyan, Mu Jinyu was quite adept this time, and the magic treasure was successfully refined in just half a day.

"Swish!!"

The flames within the Dragon Phoenix Cauldron subsided, and an exquisitely crafted ring flew out from it!

Mu Jinyu caught it, examined the ring, and, looking at the Red Lotus Red Jade Marrow inlaid in the Sky Star Pattern Framework that resembled a red diamond, nodded with satisfaction.

Then, Mu Jinyu tried to activate the ring. Though it could only be considered a low-grade Heaven-reaching spiritual treasure, he was quite satisfied.

"When I return, I'll let Xiyan and the others recognize it as their master with a drop of their blood, then refine it anew."

Mu Jinyu muttered softly and then thought of something. He hurriedly took out a Communication Talisman to inform Gu Xiyan and the others that he might need a few more days, about a week!

After all, he spent more than a day just collecting the materials for the artifact spirit.

Then crafting a Heaven-reaching spiritual treasure took nearly half a day for just one piece.

And the construction of a Heaven-reaching spiritual treasure is mentally exhausting; in six days, he might just barely manage to forge six Heaven-reaching spiritual treasures.

"They shouldn't be upset, right?"

After sending the message, Mu Jinyu rested for a bit but, seeing no response from them, started feeling a bit guilty.

He realized he was indeed impulsive a couple of days ago; he shouldn't have told them then. He should have waited until he was ready with the ring and other things to surprise them.

But as things stand now, he couldn't just erase their memory of this period, could he?

He decided to press on, gritting his teeth.

After a short rest, Mu Jinyu continued to forge the next Heaven-reaching spiritual treasure ring.

The time flew by, and six days passed in a blink.

It had been a week since the day Mu Jinyu proposed to Gu Xiyan and the others.

Gu Xiyan and the others waited day after day, their mood gradually shifting from full of anticipation and surprise to mild disappointment and resignation.

"Today is the day he mentioned. Will he delay again?"

Yu Linglong said to Gu Xiyan while peeling an apple, with a sense of helplessness.

Gu Xiyan shrugged her shoulders, saying, "Who knows..."

Lin Qiaoxia said bitterly, "Is Young Master Mu afraid of marriage? If that's the case... Well, forget it. Not getting married is fine too. It's not good for him to keep avoiding it..."

The girls listened to Lin Qiaoxia's words and suddenly froze, then thought that this might indeed be the case!

"Is Jinyu... really afraid of marriage?"

"It's possible; after all, he's only twenty, right? Normally boys this age are still in college. Being afraid of marriage seems normal too..."

After softly discussing it for a bit, the group felt there might be some truth to Lin Qiaoxia's speculation.

Finally, Wen Rou suggested, "How about this: if Jinyu comes back later, we shouldn't give him any attitude. Let's just treat him the same as before. If he prepared a proposal, we'll be surprised, and if he hasn't, we shouldn't be disappointed... Is that okay?"

"Yes, let's not pressure him anymore. Treat it with a normal heart!"

With that, the girls didn't seem as anxious or disappointed and gradually adjusted their mindsets.

"Buzz!!"

Half an hour later.

The void in the room trembled slightly, and then Mu Jinyu reappeared in front of the girls.

"Jinyu?"

"You're finally back..."

The girls saw that Mu Jinyu had indeed returned and greeted him with happy faces.

Then, they all noticed Mu Jinyu's tired expression, as if he hadn't rested well for the past few days. Feeling a bit guilty, they didn't bring up the proposal.

"Are you hungry? You left so suddenly that day, and we didn't even get to eat the dinner we worked so hard to prepare..."

"Yeah, we thought you might come back today, so we prepared a feast. Let's eat first..."

The girls said to Mu Jinyu.

Wen Rou took out a clean towel, ready to wipe off a bit of black soot from Mu Jinyu's forehead.

Mu Jinyu, seeing the girls didn't blame him and were instead all very gentle, felt they might have other plans in mind for him.

Nervous, he quickly took out the prepared rings and presented them before them, saying sincerely, "Even though I delayed almost a week, I've still prepared the engagement rings. I crafted them myself, they're Heaven-reaching spiritual treasures. I hope you will like them. Marry me..."

With that, Mu Jinyu knelt on one knee.

"Whoosh!"

As Mu Jinyu moved his thoughts, clusters of bright red flames instantly ignited around them, forming the shape of a heart, encircling the seven of them.

Then, an endless rainfall of roses fell from the sky, and the room's decor shifted under Mu Jinyu's intention, becoming like a wedding chamber, overwhelmingly red, intoxicating.

Gu Xiyan, Wen Rou, and the others, who had already steadied their hearts, didn't expect Mu Jinyu to pull such a move. Watching the rain of roses pouring down, drenching them in a sea of flowers, and the heart-shaped flame circle that didn't burn a single petal, the atmosphere was perfect.

Seeing the rings, each with a different design yet with diamonds in their favorite colors, flying toward them. Mei Yinxue quickly took the red ring made from Red Lotus Red Jade Marrow and, while laughing and crying, said, "I... I accept you..."

Wen Rou took the ring made from Divine Ice Blue Star Stone, covering her mouth and softly said, "I accept you..."

Yu Linglong and Lin Qiaoxia accepted the rings made from Qiongqi Exquisite Jade and Profound Soul Condensing Soul Jadite, respectively, and they both agreed with trembling voices.

Finally, it was Gu Xiyan, blushing and biting her lip. She reached out and took the ring made from Six Ultimate Scarlet Spirit Jade, saying with a trembling voice, "I... I accept you too..."
