Song Xiwei was completely unaware that Aoqian's heart had been shattered without her noticing.
There was no room for negotiation with Aoqian. In the past, Aoqian would listen to whatever she said, but now, it seemed that no amount of persuasion could help.
Song Xiwei felt a tightness in her chest and a deep discomfort in her heart.
How could things have gotten so bad after only six months apart...?
If you don't listen to her, you can't catch her at all.
"If you want to cultivate this secret technique, then I'll cultivate it with you! We agreed to advance and retreat together, there's no reason for you to take the risk alone while I just watch. I'll accompany you!" Song Xiwei had no other choice but to go all out.
She reached for the knife.
Just as his hand was about to touch the knife, Ao Qian grabbed his wrist. "You, you mustn't move..."
Aoqian looked nervous, his face turned pale, as if he had been frightened by Song Xiwei.
Song Xiwei felt that Aoqian was finally not so stubborn and uncommunicative anymore. She smiled and said, "We should share the good times and the bad. I'm also curious about what I'll become after I cultivate this secret technique. We can have a beauty contest then!"
Ao Qian's expression grew increasingly tense, and he said in a deep voice, "No, you cannot cultivate."
"If you can cultivate, why can't I? Are you afraid that I'll outshine you in a beauty contest? How can you be so petty!" Song Xiwei shook her head, feigning incomprehension.
Aoqian was extremely anxious, his face still ashen. "Cultivating this secret technique has significant side effects; it will damage the body, and the wound in that location... will be very painful..."
Aoqian cannot accept others hurting Song Xiwei, not even herself.
How could his precious darling be hurt to that extent?
"Does it hurt a lot? But you just said that the wound doesn't hurt and that you can bear it. If you can do it, why can't I? Are you looking down on me?" Song Xiwei disagreed with Ao Qian's words and now she had found an opening to nitpick Ao Qian's words in order to refute his nonsensical decision.
She had to bring the delirious Aoqian back to his senses.
Since reasoning with them is useless, we have no choice but to resort to unconventional methods.
"No, how could I look down on you, I..." Aoqian's mind was in turmoil because of Song Xiwei, but he was really afraid that Song Xiwei would also cultivate that secret technique. "We are not sure yet whether there are any other side effects besides the basic wounds. If you cultivate with me, what if something goes wrong?"
"It's alright, if something goes wrong, so be it. Didn't I say we'll share the good times and the bad? Since I'm loyal to you, how can I let you go on a risky journey while I just watch from the sidelines?" Song Xiwei said, reaching for the knife again.
Aoqian pressed down hard on her wrist. "No!"
“You want to become beautiful, and I want to become beautiful too. Do you think you’re the only one with the right to become beautiful? You can’t deprive me of the opportunity to become beautiful. That’s not fair…” Song Xiwei listened to Ao Qian’s insistence on not letting her try, and secretly felt that there was a chance. So she pouted and complained to Ao Qian in dissatisfaction.
Aoqian sighed wistfully. Song Xiwei's coquettish expression was absolutely adorable to him; she was practically bewitching him. "You're beautiful enough already, you don't need to become even more beautiful..."
"No way! If you don't give up on pursuing your own goals, I have to follow your example!" Song Xiwei was incredibly stubborn, and no matter what Aoqian said, it was no use.
Aoqian felt a headache coming on. Why was everything going so badly?
He just wanted to become the kind of person Song Xiwei liked. Did he really have no hope at all for himself and Song Xiwei?
He just wanted to create opportunities for himself, so why was it so difficult?
Seeing Song Xiwei like this, Aoqian felt extremely wronged. "What exactly do you want from me, Song Xiwei?"
Hearing that Aoqian's voice was choked with emotion, Song Xiwei said softly, "It's nothing. If you cultivate, I'll accompany you. If you don't cultivate, we'll be the same as before. Whatever choice you make, I'll be there for you."
