Chapter 390 Missing the most beautiful blooming season, writing his name.
"Can't."
Before Li Yuan could finish speaking, Hua Li had already given a clear answer.
He paused slightly, then looked up, about to explain, "Hualin, I don't want to possess her all to myself, I just want..."
"No. Li Yuan, I said no."
Huali didn't even give him a chance to continue.
Luo Chuan raised an eyebrow, a smile playing on his lips as the killing intent in his eyes faded. He lazily raised his hand and slowly poured Hua Li a cup of sweet osmanthus wine.
Decisive and clear-headed, without being wishy-washy.
She truly is the treasure he cherishes.
*
A cool evening breeze, carrying the dewy chill of the night, swept in through the window. Just then, a drifting cloud was blown away.
The moonlight poured onto the floor without obstruction, bypassing Li Yuan's feet and enveloping him in deeper shadows.
The Sea Lord of the Vast Ocean's curly hair, which resembled seaweed, was now dull and disheveled. The wind blew up the hem of his deep blue, wide-sleeved robe, making his solitary figure appear as if it would shatter at the slightest touch.
"Why?"
No one hates those three words more than Li Yuan.
There is no one.
Even with all that hatred, it seems he can only utter these three pale words.
"Why?"
The brief silence was like a dormant volcano, which then erupted completely at a certain point.
"Tell me why?!" Li Yuan's voice trembled with pain, each word dripping with anguish: "Why can they all do it, but I can't?"
"If that's the case, then why did you approach me on that coral reef?! Why did you tell me about the world above the sea? Why did you teach me courage and give me strength?!"
I now know what the world is like with you in it. How can you expect me to go back to my old life?
"Huali, what is it about me that I lack compared to them?! My cultivation can be improved, but my love is no less than anyone else's!"
His resounding words, coupled with the unfathomable despair in his eyes, almost consumed Li Yuan.
He just looked at her like that, her stunning beauty becoming breathtaking due to the extreme emotion he felt.
*
The entire hall fell into a deathly silence more profound than ever before.
Wen Jin and the others' expressions darkened.
Yan Xi's eyes were filled with undisguised murderous intent.
The original intention was to make these people back down, but who would have thought that these disgusting things would not back down but instead become even more shameless and say such despicable things.
But for some reason, none of them took immediate action.
Fu Yan, Mu Feng… glanced quietly at Hua Li. Since ancient times, matters of love have been tangled and complicated, and are most likely to cause pain.
What will she do?
...
Huali's gaze remained clear and calm.
She didn't look at anyone else, but stared directly into Li Yuan's eyes, as if trying to see into the depths of his soul.
"Li Yuan, I don't know what your views on relationships are. But there's one thing you're wrong about."
Her voice carried a power that pierced through the mist: "I am with the birds not because they agreed to come to my side, or because they allowed each other to exist, that I agreed."
"It's because—during those days when I was almost crushed by headquarters, they stood shoulder to shoulder with me, piecing the pieces back together bit by bit."
"Between us, we share life and death, our hearts are mutually tested, and we have pulled each other out of despair countless times."
As she spoke, Huali's almond-shaped eyes swept over Xiaoniao, Luochuan, Lianzhuo, Wenjin, and Shenyu, the deep emotions contained in her eyes needing no further explanation.
"These shared experiences are the only answer."
It wasn't about who came first or who was better; it was simply "they," and it could only be them.
The moment the verdict was handed down, Li Yuan swayed as if he had used up all his strength and slumped back into his chair.
After a moment of silence, he lowered his head and began to laugh.
At first, it was just a low, suppressed sound, a strained breath coming from the throat. Gradually, the laughter grew louder and more shrill, filled with intense self-mockery and despair.
"My goodness!" Steward Ao was startled and looked at the unofficial person with great concern. "This guy has broken his guard. Host, don't you want to comfort him? Otherwise, I think he might end up in a mental hospital."
Huali shook her head, "If you're going to cut ties, cut them off completely. What's the difference between keeping someone hanging on and being a scumbag?"
Li Yuan's shoulders trembled uncontrollably, and the stray hairs on his forehead obscured his expression. Only his tears turned into pale pink pearls, falling to the ground with a pattering sound.
The man and his cat, who were both greedy and could be delighted for half a day if they found a tiny piece of spirit stone on the street, didn't bother to look at it.
Mu Feng swallowed the bitter taste in his throat and reached for the wine pot, only to find it was already empty.
He paused for a moment, then suddenly burst out laughing.
Just as I was about to give up, a hand reached out from the side.
Fu Yan calmly poured Mu Feng a cup of osmanthus wine. As he poured the wine, drops of bright red blood from his hand fell onto the wooden tabletop, splashing up like delicate, poignant flowers.
Looking at the cup of wine mixed with blood, and then at the numb profile of the chief disciple of the Fu Sect, Mu Feng felt a profound sorrow, a sense of shared grief, as if he were being slowly tortured.
Mu Feng turned to look at Hua Li, not even blinking.
He thought she was probably like a grand floral event that took place in a distant spring. When he rushed there, the flowers had already faded, and the most beautiful blooming season seemed to have passed.
He was late.
Therefore, she missed the time in her life when she was most likely to write his name.
*
But what good is being a step too late?
After Li Yuan finished laughing, he slowly raised his head. Tears still clung to the corners of his eyes, but the words he uttered remained stubbornly insane:
"Karin, you're just not choosing me now... but that doesn't mean it will be the same in the future."
Steward Ao suddenly looked up, "Holy crap! This isn't a mermaid, it's practically a golden apple snail spirit! They still won't give up?!"
Huali didn't expect this either.
After the world war was won, she discovered that the real psychopath and superhero was actually the little mermaid who blushed when she spoke at the very beginning.
"Now that they are around you, and they are everywhere you look, I can't compete with them, I admit it!"
Li Yuan took a deep breath, his breath trembling:
"But I don't believe it! I don't believe that with the passage of time and the slow passage of life, you will remain like this forever!"
The Lord of the Azure Sea refocused his gaze, his expression chillingly stubborn, and declared firmly, "Ten years, a hundred years, a thousand years, even ten thousand years! I will wait!"
"Even when the world changes, when the stars shift, and when the people around you are no longer as steadfast as they are today, I will never give up."
"That day will never come again."
As the icy voice rang out, the all-consuming Nine Spirits Netherfire, carrying a terrifying aura capable of incinerating everything, rushed towards Li Yuan.
"Amitabha."
A Buddhist light emanated from Lian Zhuo's body, and an unbreakable barrier immediately enveloped the surroundings.
As expected, Li Yuan waved his hand, and the Heavenly Extreme Protective Artifact instantly avoided the fatal blow. The water dragon rushed towards Wen Jin and bit him fiercely!
But it shattered into nothingness the next moment.
"Disperse."
Words became law; a violent rage erupted from Yan Xi's eyes, and water vapor condensed wildly as he fiercely stabbed at Li Yuan.
Mu Feng and Fu Yan exchanged a glance and simultaneously blocked the attacks from both sides.
Within a few breaths, the calm was completely shattered!
Now that Ao Bai could sit comfortably in the shadows, amidst the entanglement of ice spikes and demonic energy, he took a sip of wine using a homemade dandelion stem straw. Suddenly, a song came to mind, and the fat cat wagged its tail:
"It's all the moon's fault~ The night was so beautiful, and you were so gentle~"
The light collided with the barrier, sparks flying and lightning flashing along the way, and Steward Ao became even more engrossed:
"Only in that fleeting moment do I want to be with you, until we grow old together."
In this situation, Li Yuan, who had caused all of this, suddenly, in sync with Ao Bai's meowing, stared intently at Hua Li, as if to say:
He would never give up, even if it meant death.
Huali: "......"
Karin is silent, Karin is irritable, Karin can't take it anymore!
You're not giving up, are you? Okay! Okay! Okay!
She rolled up her sleeves.
Now I'll show you what mixed doubles is like!!!
Just as Huali was about to rush into the battle, her wrist was suddenly grabbed by a force from the side, and she was unexpectedly thrown into a warm chest.
The crisp aroma of wine, mixed with the scent of cedar, enveloped her completely.
Luo Chuan's strong arms encircled Hua Li's waist, casually holding the little girl firmly in his embrace.
The demon king's chin brushed against Huali's flushed earlobe, his thin lips pressed against her earlobe as he whispered:
"Never mind those mad dogs, Little Pear..."
The instant their hot breath filled their ears, the space behind them suddenly distorted. Luo Chuan lowered his head, his canine teeth gently brushing against Hua Li's earlobe, coaxing her:
"Take this opportunity and elope with me."
