I looked around but didn't see Lingling and Liu Kun. "You, where are Lingling and Liu Kun?"
A cool hand, filled with concern for me, touched my forehead. "Xin'er, are you feeling unwell anywhere?"
I shook my head. "You, what about the two children?"
You's expression turned cold, and her tone was somewhat displeased. "They are fine. I arranged for them to stay in the side hall, where the white-haired man is also present."
"You all go out first, I need to talk to You for a bit." After I finished speaking, some people went out, while others looked at You before leaving.
"You knew all along?"
Why did you send me away and keep it from me?
You stared at me for a long while, a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes. "Pretending to love me must be exhausting, right?"
"What?"
You lowered her head and chuckled, "That's right, I deliberately sent you away to hunt down Liu Lieyu. I captured all the creatures of Changbai Mountain and tortured them to force them to tell me where Liu Lieyu's younger brother and sister are. Liu Lieyu is in prison now, his life hanging by a thread. Don't you feel sorry for him? Do you want to save him?"
"How could you think that?" I looked at You in surprise. Did he still think I would like Liu Lieyu?
"What do you expect me to think?" You's fingertips traced my face, her eyes filled with even more sorrow. "Are you that worried about him? Worried about him to the point of fainting?"
"I didn't," I retorted instinctively. "How can you still think I like Liu Lieyu?"
You stood up and looked down at me, but the light coming in from the window made it impossible for me to see her expression.
You raised her hand and produced a sharp sword, which she threw in front of me. "Kill him, and I'll believe you."
The sharp sword before me radiated a chilling aura. I took a deep breath, glanced at You, then looked back at the sword. Liu Lieyu's crimes deserved death a thousand times over, but... but it wasn't my place to take his life. I... I couldn't bring myself to do it.
"You." I said softly, blinking my eyes as I tugged at You's sleeve.
For a long time, You remained unmoved, so I just kept blinking and staring at You.
With a long sigh, she knelt down and pulled me into her arms. "I really have no way to deal with you. Oh well."
My eyes crinkled with laughter; I knew You wouldn't force me.
"You, can you please release the creatures of Changbai Mountain? Liu Lieyu may be despicable, but everyone else is innocent. What you're doing is no different from being a tyrant. Aren't you forcing them to rebel? You, I don't want anything to happen to you."
"good."
I nestled comfortably in You's arms, playing with her soft hair with my little hands.
"Xin'er, even without me, there are still many people who love you. I only have you now, so don't leave me," You murmured, her voice unusually vulnerable.
You is now the ruler of the entire Three Realms. In front of others, he is always glorious, majestic, and strong. Only in front of me will he show these expressions that others cannot see.
"I will never leave you, I love you." I looked up into You's eyes and said each word slowly and deliberately.
"Xin'er." You looked at me and slowly leaned in to kiss me.
Absence makes the heart grow fonder, and You and I played on the bed for a while before getting up.
"You, why did Jin Yu die? He vanished into thin air as soon as we came out. Why? I've been protecting him with my magic. His mother is a white tiger. I just can't understand it."
After a moment of contemplation, You said, "Perhaps Jin Yu has been living in the abyss since childhood, and her body has long been corrupted by the abyss, so she cannot see the sunlight?"
"Then, no one in the Abyss can come out?" I was shocked. How could that be?
"It probably depends on the length of time. Tens of thousands of years have passed since the last war between the demon gods. If the White Tiger went to the abyss to give birth to Jin Yu after the war, then Jin Yu has been in the abyss for tens of thousands of years."
