Upon hearing about the effects of the Sun and Moon Purple True Vine, Qin Luo knew he couldn't afford to miss out on it.
And most importantly, this could be his chance to amass a huge amount of points. Keep in mind that any cultivator who obtains this location must possess at least a thousand points.
When the time comes to fight for the Sun and Moon Purple True Vine, it will surely be an extremely chaotic scene, and that will be his chance to show his skills.
Qin Luo narrowed his eyes slightly, a shrewd glint in them. He quickly considered a solution, his fingers unconsciously tapping lightly against his arm.
Seeing him deep in thought, Murong Liyue hesitated for a moment before taking a graceful step closer to Qin Luo. She gently took his arm, looked up at him with worry and expectation in her eyes, and whispered:
"Qin Luo, I've thought about it, and competing for the Sun and Moon Purple True Vine is far too dangerous. Anyone who knows about this location must be highly skilled and have a large number of points. For us to compete for it is like throwing an egg against a rock. How about we just focus on hunting monsters in the Lingxiao Plain?"
In Murong Liyue's mind, the two of them already had enough points to enter the Lingyuan Sect. Rather than risking elimination to compete for the Sun and Moon Purple True Vine, it was much more peaceful to steadily hunt monsters and gain points.
Moreover, hunting monsters with Qin Luo in such a leisurely manner is, for her, a sweet, disguised date.
Hearing her words, Qin Luo knew she was worried about him, but he still pretended to raise an eyebrow and asked with some displeasure:
"You don't trust me?"
Sensing his displeased tone, Murong Liyue panicked instantly.
Panic flashed in her eyes, and she hurriedly tried to explain, but seeing Qin Luo's cold gaze, she was speechless. Her aggrieved look made it seem like she was about to cry.
She could only lower her head and cautiously tug at his sleeve, like a helpless child who had done something wrong.
Qin Luo hadn't expected Murong Liyue to react so strongly to his sudden outburst. His feigned coldness vanished instantly, and he gently wiped away the tears welling in her eyes, whispering:
"Liyue, I'm not really angry with you. I just don't want to miss this opportunity, after all, the Sun and Moon Purple Vine is..."
Upon hearing Qin Luo's softened tone, Murong Liyue slowly raised her head and hurriedly began to explain, her voice trembling noticeably, her words filled with anxiety and unease.
"Qin Luo, no, it's not that I don't believe you."
"I'm just afraid, afraid that you'll get hurt. You know, in my heart, you're more important than anything else."
After speaking, Murong Liyue took a step forward, gently took Qin Luo's hand, and bit her lower lip with such force that it left a deep mark on her lips.
Her cautiously raised eyes held pleading and unease, hoping he would understand her feelings. Her pitiful appearance, like a flower battered by wind and rain, evoked pity.
Seeing her pitiful, trembling appearance, Qin Luo raised his hand, his fingertips brushing through her hair, then gently curling and playing with it between his fingers, his voice low and deep:
"I know that it is extremely risky to compete for the Sun and Moon Purple True Vine, but isn't the path of cultivation all about competing with others and with the heavens?"
"Moreover, you have now reached the late stage of Soul Contract. After you enter the Spirit Abyss Gate, I believe you will soon break through to the Spirit Control Realm. I imagine that the Sun and Moon Purple True Vine will be of great help to you during your breakthrough. That's why I want to take a gamble."
Upon hearing his words, Murong Liyue froze completely, her eyes filled with astonishment. She never imagined that everything Qin Luo had done was meticulously preparing for her future breakthrough.
Moved, she felt a deep tenderness in her heart. Her gaze was fixed on Qin Luo, tears glistening in her eyes, and her voice trembled slightly as she asked:
"Qin Luo... am I really worth you doing this for?"
Hearing her question, which was both touching and tinged with unease, even Qin Luo, who was usually slow to notice, sensed something was amiss.
After a moment's thought, she finally understood the reason. It turned out that her feigned indifference and questioning earlier had brought out the unease in her heart.
Indeed, for Murong Liyue, the fact that she was forced to stay in that way left her with little sense of security for a woman.
After all, she didn't know how much she meant to Qin Luo, nor could she be sure that one day Qin Luo would grow tired of her.
That's why, under this deep unease, she kept asking questions in an attempt to soothe her restless heart.
After figuring out the reason, Qin Luo stopped fiddling with her hair, then cupped her smooth, white cheeks in his hands, gently wiping away the tears that welled up again, and whispered:
"Everything in the world has its own unique characteristics. Some are like towering mountains, inspiring awe. Some are like flowing water, gentle and moving. But in my eyes, some things, though not as dazzling as mountains or as gentle as flowing water, possess their own unique beauty, unmatched by anyone else."
Qin Luo paused, his eyes softening even more, and continued:
"That's how you are to me."
Upon hearing this, Murong Liyue stared blankly at Qin Luo, her eyes gazing at nothing else but his image. Every subtle expression on his gentle yet resolute face was deeply etched into her heart.
At this moment, she was completely captivated. She knew that she could not live without the man before her for the rest of her life. His every word and action seemed to possess a magical power, tightly pulling at her heartstrings, making her willing to give everything for him.
Murong Liyue tried hard to control her emotions, but her slightly trembling body betrayed the turmoil in her heart. She then slowly moved closer to Qin Luo, gently resting her head on his chest, listening to his strong heartbeat.
Listening to that strong heartbeat, all her previous anxieties transformed into peace and happiness at that moment.
After a moment, she slowly raised her head, her gaze falling on Qin Luo's face again, her eyes filled with tenderness.
With you by my side, I feel at ease, fearless of wind and rain, and will spend the rest of my life with you. In the years to come, no matter what happens, I will always be by your side, facing everything together.
After speaking, Murong Liyue pressed her cheek against Qin Luo's chest again, closed her eyes slightly, and unconsciously raised a gentle smile on her lips.
Then a firm, soft voice slowly emerged from her bosom:
"Never to be separated from, through life and death."
The voice, though soft, carried a resolute air, echoing slowly in the air, its lingering notes lasting for a long time.
The moment Murong Liyue finished making her vow, the system's voice immediately sounded in her mind.
[Murong Liyue's affection level has reached 80 (private engagement), and new investment points have been obtained.]
