"No, you're not wrong." Dan Bingli quickly shook her head weakly, reluctant to leave the hand resting on her cheek, lingering in the warmth of his hand, and said:
"I was being willful. I shouldn't have acted so impulsively. I knew I couldn't win, but I was still controlled by my emotions. I..."
At this point, Dan Bingli lowered her eyes slightly:
"I just don't want to lose my dignity in front of you, and I don't want anyone to look down on me in front of you."
Seeing Dan Bingli's appearance, Qin Luo felt a warmth rise in his heart, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
Immediately, the hand covering her cheek gently pinched Dan Bingli's smooth, jade-like face, the tone gentle and affectionate:
"How could I look down on you? In my heart, you have always been an extraordinary woman who can stand on her own. Don't you agree, Bingli?"
"Bing... Bing Li!? What did he just say...?"
Upon hearing this unprecedentedly intimate address, Dan Bingli froze instantly. Her face burned, turning a deep, almost blood-red hue that quickly spread from her cheeks to her ears and even her entire neck.
The rush of blood and qi made her head spin, and for a moment she lost the ability to think.
In her panic, she instinctively raised her hand and slapped Qin Luo's hand away, her tone tinged with bewilderment, feigning anger as she said:
"You, when did you learn to speak so frivolously? How dare you address me so directly, so bluntly..."
"Then call your Miss Dan back?"
"You dare!"
After saying this, Dan Bingli looked at Qin Luo's smiling eyes and felt both ashamed and angry. She glared at Qin Luo and turned her back to him, her heart in turmoil.
On one hand, the word "Bingli" stirred an indescribable ripple in her heart, a feeling that was both joyful and sweet.
On the other hand, she didn't know how to deal with Qin Luo's sudden change in feelings:
Was he just subtly confessing his feelings to me? If so, wouldn't I be ruining this precious moment? But how can I reveal my feelings so easily? What if I'm just imagining things?
Dan Bingli was torn between two conflicting emotions. Her hands unconsciously twisted the hem of her clothes, and her beautiful brows furrowed, just like her tangled and chaotic state of mind.
Looking at her like this, Qin Luo's smile deepened, and he said with a hint of doting:
"Alright, Bingli, don't be angry. I was being presumptuous. But in my heart, you are no longer an ordinary girl, and this way of addressing you is just something I couldn't help but do."
Dan Bingli turned her back to him, not daring to look at him, and could only mutter softly:
"Who wants to listen to your sweet talk and glib tongue? I don't believe you."
But her slightly trembling body betrayed her panic that she was trying to hide.
Seeing this, Qin Luo also felt a sense of helplessness.
"Um...you're the one who ruined this atmosphere, I didn't do anything."
Qin Luo muttered to himself, but he also knew that his bluntness was indeed difficult for Dan Bingli's innocent and naive nature to accept for a while. He needed to give her some time to process this sudden emotional shock.
As soon as he stopped thinking, Qin Luo's hands began to move, his hand seals changing constantly.
In an instant, a deafening roar came from the Spirit Void Imprisoning Heaven Formation.
Figures, enveloped by the power of spiritual energy, slowly emerged from the depths of the formation, clearly appearing before Qin Luo and Dan Bingli.
These figures were filled with terror. Their bodies were imprisoned by the power of the spirit, and their movements were restricted, yet they still struggled incessantly, trying to break free from these constraints.
"You know the status of my Rakshasa Temple on the Jue Tian Continent. If you dare to harm me, the Rakshasa Temple will never let you off!"
"You should know that my sister is the top disciple of the Rakshasa Temple this year. Her strength is unfathomable. If you dare to touch me, she will make you pay a terrible price!"
"If you release me now, I can forgive and forget. Otherwise, once she is free in the secret realm of heaven and earth, it will be your death day."
Zheng Peng shouted, his voice trembling with fear, a hint of regret flashing in his eyes. He hadn't expected to encounter such a cunning and ruthless character who was pretending to be weak while actually being strong.
He thought that with his own planning and the assistance of his subordinates, he could easily obtain the Origin Spirit Liquid and even win the heart of the beauty, but that unexpected thing still happened!
At this moment, he could only hope to use the prestige of the Rakshasa Temple to intimidate the other party, so that he would have a chance to escape.
"Release you? Heh, I will definitely release you, but not now..."
Qin Luo sneered, then smiled at Dan Bingli, who kept stealing glances at him:
"Based on what I just observed, there are several weak points in the formation inside that building. If we can seize the right opportunity, we might be able to destroy the formation."
"However, this is too dangerous. The risk would increase if two people went together, so I think I'll go and explore on my own first. You can stay outside and keep watch, so you can provide timely support if anything goes wrong."
Upon hearing this, Dan Bingli instantly suppressed all her emotions and turned around anxiously, her delicate face filled with deep worry.
"This...you saw it just now, the powerful aura emanating from that formation. If you were trapped inside and couldn't escape in time, even a top expert in the Divine Travel Realm would probably not be able to hold out for long."
“I’m afraid, afraid you’ll never come back. This primordial elixir is precious, but it’s nothing compared to your safety. Why don’t we give it up? It’s far too dangerous. In my heart, nothing is more important than your safety.”
