A complex emotion flashed across her gentle gaze, a meaning I couldn't fathom: "You want me to stay with you?"
I nodded vigorously. Shouldn't yanderes be characterized by wanting to cling to their partner at all times and wanting to have them firmly under their control? Why am I different? Am I too clingy?
"I want to be with you every day, but I have a lot of things to do." You looked away from me and gazed into the distance.
"Can't you take me with you?"
You glanced at me and remained silent, her expression clearly telling me that I couldn't be taken along.
"You always keep everything from me and don't let me know." I turned my head away and pouted, a little unhappy.
"And you? You've never hidden anything from me?"
You's voice drifted into my ears on the wind. I turned to look at You, who was tilting her head and smiling at me.
But for some reason, the smile that usually warms my heart now sends a chill through me, a chill that feels familiar.
"I...of course I didn't hide it from you." I didn't dare look at You, and shifted my gaze elsewhere, feeling somewhat unsure of myself.
The biggest thing I kept from You was that I wasn't the female lead You had always deeply loved.
I couldn't help but sigh. I would never tell anyone this, no matter what. Even if Yu loved the original female lead, it didn't matter. Now I was her. Let me take the place of the original female lead and stay by Yu's side. I decided to keep this lie from Yu for the rest of my life, until my death.
"Do you think I deliberately let Liu Lieyu go?" I looked up and mustered my courage to ask.
"No." You seemed to have returned to her usual self. "Let's not talk about this anymore."
I had no choice but to nod and give up, and suddenly felt annoyed.
"Let's go." You naturally took my hand, and although I didn't want to, I held it anyway.
We walked quietly like that, with a large group of people following behind us. We didn't say a word, and naturally, the others behind us didn't dare to breathe loudly.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Your humble servant has something to report." A man's panting voice suddenly came from behind.
"What is it?" You replied without even turning her head.
"Your Majesty, I am the garrison commander ordered to guard Xuge Pavilion. Recently, several of your brothers have been causing a ruckus, demanding to see you." The man didn't even dare to raise his head.
"Making a scene?" You snorted coldly and casually waved his hand, sending a burst of gas at the newcomer.
All the immortals and I were stunned. How could You hurt people so casually?
As I was staring at You in surprise, I suddenly noticed something strange about the newcomer. I shifted my gaze to the person who had just given the report. The person was lying on the ground, and a yellow aura slowly emanated from behind him, gradually gathering together to form a human shape.
This... isn't this You's brother? I almost forgot about him after so long.
You remained silent with a gloomy face. I noticed that You was always in a bad mood whenever she saw them; I guess seeing them reminded her of her ugly past.
"You Yuan, you're living a life of glory now, wielding immense power, with beauties by your side, and this is how you treat us brothers? Imprisoning us in a dark, sunless pavilion?"
You sneered, your previous friendly expression gone. "You are all already dead. If it weren't for me, you would have been in the Yellow Springs long ago. Now that you are in the Immortal Realm, instead of being grateful and keeping to your place, you have repeatedly provoked me?"
"We are dead," the ugly, yellow humanoid monster said angrily. "But have you forgotten that we died for this reason?"
You's cold moan swept directly at him, and she said in a murderous tone, pausing between each sentence, "I've heard enough of these words."
