"Your Highness, my daughter's words are indeed reasonable, and I hope you can understand."
Wenren Ting bowed apologetically.
"It's alright, it's alright. Junior Sister Bingying is an innocent woman, so it's only natural that she cares about her reputation. It's just that I, Gan Zhen, haven't thought things through and have been too rash. I'll take my leave now and find another place to stay."
After finishing his speech with a somewhat stiff expression, Gan Zhen took his leave in a gloomy mood.
"Hmph, you think you can stay in my guest room? Do you think you're some kind of frivolous young master?"
Wenren Bingying gave a light snort, then immediately put Gan Zhen out of her mind and went to the west courtyard to find Chi Yuan with a joyful heart.
Before long, Wenren Bingying arrived outside Chi Yuan's guest room. She nervously tugged at her dress, took a deep breath, and then gently knocked on the door: "Young Master Fufeng, may Bingying come in?"
"Come in."
Chi Yuanping's calm voice came from the guest room.
Hearing the voice she had been longing for, Wenren Bingying felt even more nervous. She slowly pushed open the door and walked in, her mind wandering.
Chi Yuan was sitting cross-legged on the cultivation platform when he saw Wenren Bingying walk in and stared at her intently.
His gaze lingered on Wenren Bingying for two or three breaths, until the latter lowered her head in a tense manner.
"It seems that Young Master Fufeng likes my attire?"
Wenren Bingying was secretly delighted, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously curved upwards. She looked up at Chi Yuan and said, "Young Master Fufeng, Bingying went to the sect's secret realm for training some time ago, and has now broken through to the third level of the Spirit King realm."
Chi Yuan frowned and looked at Wenren Bingying, saying, "You're taking too much of a risk."
Wenren Bingying's beautiful eyes sparkled with spring-like brilliance; was Young Master Fufeng worried about her?
"I... didn't actually take any risks. The Abyss of Death was quite easy to cross, um... I crossed it very easily!"
Wenren Bingying said, pretending to be relaxed.
"You don't have to downplay it like that."
Chi Yuan shook his head and looked intently at Wenren Bingying: "I have also ventured into similar trial realms in the Shenxiao Sect, and I know how dangerous they are."
Several years ago, when he broke through to the Spirit King level, he did indeed venture into a similar secret realm. The formula for the Purple Essence Dao Spirit Pill was obtained in that trial. Therefore, he was well aware of how risky it was for Wenren Bingying to venture into the Abyss of Death with the cultivation of a Heavenly Spirit Master. It was tantamount to gambling with his life in order to seek a breakthrough.
Hearing this, Wenren Bingying's nose tingled, and tears welled up in her eyes. She walked to the cultivation platform and sat down, looking at Chi Yuan with a pitiful expression, saying, "Young Master Fufeng, this past month has been so difficult. Bingying almost died several times. I thought I would never see you again..."
Chi Yuan felt ashamed. How could he not know why Wenren Bingying had risked her life to seek a breakthrough in the Netherworld? For a moment, his mind was in turmoil.
Seeing Chi Yuan's ashamed expression and his furrowed brows in silence, Wenren Bingying's eyes flickered. Taking advantage of Chi Yuan's inattention, she gently leaned on his shoulder and said softly, "But it's all worth it. This is a battle that will determine Bingying's fate. No matter what the cost, I will win!"
“Young Master Fufeng, don’t blame yourself for this. I went into the Abyss of Death for my own sake. Even without you, I would still make the same choice because I cannot allow my beliefs to be trampled on! Just as you would rather have your cultivation destroyed than admit your guilt, I would rather die in the Abyss of Death than surrender to fate!”
Looking at Wenren Bingying leaning on his shoulder, Chi Yuan couldn't help but feel a surge of admiration. He didn't push her away and said with unwavering confidence, "Miss Bingying, I believe you will win this battle!"
"Thank you, Young Master Fufeng, but..."
Wenren Bingying's eyes dimmed, and she said in a pleading voice, "Young Master, please... hug me? Bingying... is so scared."
"If I lose this battle again, and Ye Chen tries to humiliate me, then I..."
Chi Yuan was shocked. How could he not hear the determination Wenren Bingying held? He kept saying he didn't want to hurt Wenren Bingying, but now he realized that his presence in Wenren Bingying's life was the greatest harm he could do to her.
With a complex sigh, Chi Yuan slowly raised his hand and embraced Wenren Bingying's soft, boneless waist.
Feeling the warmth from her waist, Wenren Bingying was overjoyed and leaned against Chi Yuan's chest, a sweet smile spreading across her pretty face.
