Chapter 347 Because we want it to last, we have to lay our cards on the table.
The first sentence was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, causing a subtle change in the eyes of the five people.
Karin's fingers unconsciously curled up. "Actually, beyond this world, there exists a place called the Universe, which controls countless small worlds like ours. And this place is just one of them."
“In my world, I… I’m just an ordinary person.” Her tone carried a hint of distant reminiscence and calmness. “Every day I go to school, come home, worry about exams, and busy myself all by myself.”
"Until...I was chosen."
Ao Bai jumped onto Hua Li's shoulder and rubbed his big head against her face. "Hua Sang, when you're serious, you're incredibly charming."
Huali's initial anxiety vanished instantly upon hearing those words.
"Chief Steward Ao, be quiet."
She continued, the tremor in her voice disappearing, replaced by a heavy solemnity: "It was Ao Bai who found me and brought me here."
For the first time, everyone's eyes were seriously looking at the big fat cat.
No one took the initiative to speak.
Everyone was quietly waiting for the girl to finish speaking.
"My original purpose..."
The sky was filled with swirling, heavy clouds that seemed about to collapse. Even Karin's usually clear voice was tinged with an unusual embarrassment and guilt. "...It was just to complete the mission, to collect stars, and thus light up the cards."
Qi Ran gradually calmed down after her initial frenzy. She looked at everything with pity in her eyes and murmured, "Huali, you will regret this."
Karin paused, bravely meeting their gazes, and continued to lay herself bare: "And only the lucky ones in this world can make the stars shine, which means... you."
The hand beneath the lotus-covered robe paused slightly, a hint of understanding flashing in her calm, expressionless eyes.
Wen Jin remained expressionless, only slightly pursing his lips when he heard the word "mission".
Shen Yu lowered his arms, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes as he looked at Hua Li.
Beneath the surface of their seemingly calm demeanor, however, lay a more complex undercurrent of tension between Luo Chuan and Yan Xi.
Despite this, not a single person showed any disgust or rejection.
Huali felt slightly relieved and mustered her courage to continue, speaking urgently and sincerely:
“But! But those were all things at the very beginning!” she emphasized urgently. “After truly getting to know you and spending time with you… I, I really never intended to hurt any of you.”
"And I have absolutely no desire to complete those so-called tasks anymore!"
The girl's gaze was firm as she met the eyes of each of these people.
"...I don't know when it started, but what I see and care about is no longer the so-called 'stars' and 'endless wealth of promises,' but living, breathing people who will protect me!"
At this point, Huali's eyes suddenly reddened.
“You said you would always be with me, and I…I’m really happy, but I can’t make any promises.”
"Because at that time... even I myself didn't know which path to take."
“But now…” the little girl’s voice choked with sobs, “I know very well what I want, and I know very well what I am doing.”
"Love is mutual."
"Therefore, I don't want any more deception or concealment, and this is the truth."
"No matter what you decide later, whether you trust me or leave... I must tell you."
In the silence, only the howling wind could be heard.
Luo Chuan's toes twitched very slightly, and the next second, they were precisely scanned by Hua Li's radar.
The little girl wiped her eyes hard. "But! I must make one thing clear."
"I...I definitely won't accept the option of leaving." After taking that difficult first step, Huali retorted with a defiant threat:
"I am now a Tribulation Transcending stage expert. As you can see, I not only have the Little Tower and the Luo Shen Book, but also a large group of Nascent Soul disciples."
"If anyone dares to leave, I'll force myself on them."
"I have plenty of ways to deal with this: dark room literature, handcuff literature. You try to escape, I'll chase you, you won't be able to escape even if you grow wings!!"
Several people: "..."
Hua Aotian was so engrossed in his own domineering CEO drama that he had lost all sense of the world around him.
He wiped away his tears again and said in a strange tone, "I've been reading storybooks for almost ten years. I've loved buying 'Angel' magazines since I was a child, so please don't think I'm joking."
I don't care if a forced melon is sweet or not, but it absolutely has to grow on the vine!
Chief Steward Ao: "Huluwa, Huluwa, seven gourds on one vine!"
The group: "..."
Seeing that they didn't speak, Huali felt as if her heart was being squeezed by a large hand. She dug her nails into her palms and forced herself not to show any fear.
However, the next second—
Luo Chuan suddenly chuckled softly.
"A dark room? Forced sex?" The Demon King raised an eyebrow. "How did Little Pear know that I like this?"
Karin: "Huh?"
Luo Chuan stepped forward, gently wiping away the tear stains on Hua Li's eyelashes with his fingertips, and kissed the tears onto his lips. "We won't do that stupid mission, but Hua Li's little star still has to shine."
Huali was taken aback.
Immediately afterwards, Lian Zhuo's gentle yet incisive voice came through:
"But are there other methods needed?"
