It turns out that understanding is one thing, but enduring and being able to do it is another—such an agonizing process.
Aoqian has never been a magnanimous person, let alone having to endure the gaze of his beloved lingering on someone else.
His heart ached.
Why is it always someone else...?
Why is it never myself?
What exactly am I lacking?
He couldn't help but feel jealous and angry.
That prince of the You Clan was so ordinary, so unremarkable.
What is it about him that deserves that kind of look from her...?
No, it still won't work.
Respect can be shown in every aspect of life, except when it comes to a romantic rival.
Aoqian admitted that he couldn't do it.
It is better to be destroyed than to achieve perfection.
Therefore, even without saying a word, Aoqian's cold gaze and oppressive aura sweeping over the Youzu prince were enough for the prince to clearly feel how much he loathed him.
The You Clan prince was astonished that the Demon Lord harbored such malice towards him.
He came with sincerity, but he didn't expect the other party to act this way.
Just as the Youzu prince was about to ask if there was something wrong with him, Song Xiwei had already walked towards him.
Aoqian's heart ached because of Song Xiwei's actions.
She took the initiative to approach someone else...
It was as if I reached out and pulled her back.
I wish everyone around me would disappear.
Aoqian felt his eyes begin to turn bloodshot as he suppressed his emotions.
Whether or not she sensed Ao Qian's fluctuating emotions, Song Xiwei turned around and glanced at him.
Aoqian stared blankly at her.
He finally agreed to look at him...
Song Xiwei finally looked at him.
Aoqian felt like crying. He felt humiliated, thinking that it didn't matter if Song Xiwei didn't love him, as long as she didn't look at others with those eyes. In that case, at least no one had gotten her, and he hadn't lost her either.
He comforted himself with this self-deception.
Song Xiwei's voice wasn't loud, but it still reached Aoqian's ears, "Be good, don't make a fuss, I want to talk to the Youzu prince alone."
Now that Song Xiwei has spoken up, no matter how agitated he is or how much he wants to stop her, he has to calm himself down.
He forced a smile and nodded in agreement, "Don't worry, I won't go back on my word."
Song Xiwei nodded at him with satisfaction, then turned around and said something to the Youzu prince, who then got up and followed her.
Aoqian stood rooted to the spot like a wooden stake.
My heart had already flown away with Song Xiwei.
Song Xiwei was well aware of Aoqian's desire and irritability.
She truly hadn't expected that Aoqian would actually hold back, not lose his temper, and not attack the Youzu prince.
He didn't just talk the talk; he's made progress...
Song Xiwei felt a warmth in her heart. No matter what she said before, he would never listen to her.
I never expected them to suddenly become so obedient.
Such a docile Aoqian made Song Xiwei's heart melt completely.
It's such a pity, I don't have much time left, otherwise...
It would be wonderful to be able to love someone like Aoqian in a mutual and reciprocal way.
"Your Majesty the Song Dynasty, I have admired your name for a long time."
After bowing to Song Xiwei, the You Clan prince introduced himself with a smile, "I am Prince Jiu Youchen of the You Clan."
The Nine Netherworlds...
This name sounds familiar; I feel like I've heard it somewhere before.
"Have we met before?" Song Xi asked softly.
Jiu Youchen looked at her in surprise, "You don't remember?"
"What?" Song Xiwei looked completely bewildered.
"I guess you could say we know each other. We've been through thick and thin together, but back then, I wasn't yet the prince of the You Clan," Jiu Youchen said with a half-smile.
Song Xiwei was completely confused. "Why do I have no recollection of this? I only vaguely feel like I've seen you before and know your name... When was the time you mentioned going through thick and thin together?"
