Chapter 361 Private decision for life

Inside the Slytherin Chamber.

The green crystals embedded in the stone pillars emit a light green glow, which shines through the gaps between the stone pillars onto the ground, forming mottled light and shadows.

In the dim light of the secret room, what came into Sherin's sight was Eleanor's delicate face full of worry.

"That... uh, about that human puppet..." Xie Ling said a little embarrassedly.

Before Xie Ling could finish his words, a hot and delicate body had already embraced Xie Ling's arms. Eleanor's hands gently brushed Xie Ling's handsome face, and Xie Ling could clearly feel her hands trembling slightly.

"Xie Lin," Eleanor's originally magnetic voice became a little hoarse at this moment. She shook her head gently, "Don't worry about those puppets." She looked directly into Xie Lin's eyes and said seriously, "Please tell me frankly, are you really okay?"

Xie Ling is very strong, no one can deny that.

In the eyes of outsiders, Xie Ling is smart and studious, has an amazing and unique talent for magic, and his strength far exceeds that of wizards of the same age. He has no rivals among students in the entire European magic school and even has combat power comparable to that of an adult.

In the eyes of those who are slightly close to him, as well as Draco and Eleanor, Shaylin's strength has long surpassed the top elite Aurors and is qualified to compete with magicians, but he should still be slightly inferior to orthodox magicians such as Dumbledore and Voldemort.

However, Xie Ling had no reason to lie - assuming what he said was true, he had to face the joint siege of three magicians alone last night. Eleanor could not imagine how dangerous the scene would be - even escaping death would not be an enough to describe it.

This time it was Xie Ling's turn to look stunned.

At this moment, that inexplicable emotion filled his chest again, and he suddenly understood something.

It was a touching feeling.

Eleanor was not concerned about those precious human puppets at all. In her heart, the importance of those things was not even a fraction of the safety of Xie Ling's life.

"Eleanor, don't worry, I'm fine." Xie Lin said softly, "It's true, I didn't lie to you. Although they are very strong, I have made sufficient preparations in advance. Fortunately, everything went according to plan in the end, and I returned safely without any danger."

"You already knew it would be so dangerous, but you chose to face it alone?" Eleanor said with some dissatisfaction, her eyes misty.

"Uh...this..." Xie Ling scratched his itchy scalp, speechless.

"Promise me, for the sake of the people you love and the people who love you, don't bear everything alone anymore... You must be well..."

Eleanor could no longer control her emotions, tears rolled down her cheeks. She choked and said, "I'm scared just thinking about it... If something really happened last night, I would never see you again."

Eleanor has always had a strong character. As the eldest daughter of the first family in Germany, she has been determined to inherit the family business and become the head of the family since she was a child, so she is very strict with herself.

After entering Durmstrang, she abandoned meaningless social activities. Except for her family friend Polyaco, she was always rude to other people. She was immersed in the study and research of magic, pursuing powerful strength to prove that she could become the head of the family by her own strength.

Even though she later owed Schelling a life-saving favor on the ghost ship and developed admiration for him as a man and a woman, she still maintained her strong character and even made a bold statement to pursue Schelling.

She has absolute confidence in her strength and charm!
But at this moment, she finally faced up to her feelings.

After all, she was actually a normal girl who wanted to fall in love and be cared for. Xie Lin felt a warm current in his heart, and he knew that he was truly moved by Eleanor's sincerity.

Recalling the near-death experience last night, Xie Ling cherished everything in front of him.

Eleanor herself is very outstanding. Whether it is her family background, personality and etiquette, ability and talent, or appearance, it is enough to make Xie Ling's heart moved.

But unfortunately, Xie Ling already had a girlfriend, and more than one.

He has always been reminding himself not to get into new love debts, but when faced with the deep love of a beautiful woman, he always falls into her tender offensive and cannot help himself.

Since ancient times, heroes have been unable to resist the temptation of beautiful women, and Xie Ling could only comfort himself in this way.

"Eleanor," Sherin said sympathetically, "I'm sorry, I didn't think that what I did would make you worry..."

Eleanor looked up and her eyes met Sherin's.

Xie Ling's eyes were no longer as cold as before. Eleanor knew that her sincere efforts had finally paid off, and she had successfully opened the boy's closed heart.

Eleanor suddenly burst into laughter. She gently put her head on Schelling's chest and felt his heartbeat.

"You damn bad guy, I haven't cried for more than ten years, and today I cried in front of you... I'm so embarrassed for you to see me like this," Eleanor said coquettishly.

Xie Lin gently stroked Eleanor's soft hair and said with a slight smile: "Actually, when you confessed to me last time, I was already attracted to you, but I always chose to avoid you. That's because..."

Eleanor raised her head and put her finger on Xie Lin's lips. She saw the sincerity and determination in his eyes and knew that Xie Lin's words at this moment were all from the heart. "You don't have to explain. I actually understand... You are an excellent boy. You must have many confidantes around you, but I don't mind these. I just hope that I can occupy a place in your heart. Then I will be satisfied."

Xie Ling gently wiped the tears from her cheeks with his fingers, smiled and said, "I promise you, I will never escape again - from now on, no matter what happens, I will never let you leave my life." His tone was firm and gentle, as if he was swearing his promise to her.

The atmosphere was tense, but Eleanor suddenly said cunningly, "You broke someone's human puppet, how are you going to compensate them?"

"Ah, this... this is my responsibility. I will not let you and the Hohenheim family bear this loss in vain. I am willing to bear it no matter how high the cost..."

Xie Ling had just finished speaking when he was not paying attention when a pair of hot red lips had tightly sealed his mouth. The two hugged each other tightly, their breathing and heartbeats intertwined, and they kissed each other in ecstasy, as if they wanted to integrate each other into their souls.

……

Schelling looked at Eleanor, whose cheeks were slightly red, affectionately and said softly, "This summer, I will personally visit the Hohenheim family and ask your parents for marriage. I want to marry you as my wife."

The heat on Eleanor's face spread to her ears, and she lowered her head and said "hmm". She knew that although Xie Ling had many lovers, her parents did not object to their marriage. His father even said that he would give Xie Ling the title of "son-in-law of the family" and give the family's core heritage "human alchemy" as a dowry.

In other words, after Xie Ling expressed his feelings and made a promise, their relationship was set in stone and there was no longer any obstacle. (End of this chapter)
