Upon hearing Yue Lishan's words, Nuantang suddenly turned her head, staring at her with wide eyes, her hostility undisguised.
"Stop pretending!"
Nuantang shouted, her voice sharp and shrill with anxiety, "You don't care about Brother Qin at all! You just want him to fend for himself! Don't think I don't know what you're up to. Brother Qin even avenged you not long ago..."
As she spoke, Nuantang once again forcefully slammed into the layer of white mist, completely disregarding the fact that her palms had already been ripped open and bleeding profusely from the impact of the mist.
"Brother Qin, what's wrong? Don't scare Nuantang!"
Her voice was choked with sobs, and her words were filled with endless worry and helplessness.
Looking at Nuantang like this, Yue Lishan felt helpless.
She knew that Nuantang was blinded by her emotions and wouldn't listen to any explanations. She sighed and tried to approach Nuantang again, but Nuantang pushed her away.
"Don't come any closer!" Nuantang screamed. "I don't want to see you! It's all your fault! If it weren't for you, Brother Qin wouldn't have ended up like this!"
Helpless, Yue Lishan stepped aside and quietly looked at Nuantang, a hint of pity in her eyes.
Just as she was about to watch Nuantang struggle against the attack, the primordial energy that had turned into white mist suddenly began to boil.
This time, instead of sending Nuantang flying as it had before, it transformed into a gentle barrier, softly stopping Nuantang's actions.
This gentle force stopped Nuantang's forward momentum, as if she had bumped into a soft ball of cotton. Her body only shuddered, but she was not injured in any way.
But Yue Lishan wasn't so lucky. Before she could react to this sudden change, a dense aura of primordial chaos extended out and pulled her in.
Yue Lishan felt a sudden dizziness before her eyes, and her body was uncontrollably pulled in front of Qin Luo.
After regaining her senses, Yue Lishan immediately knelt respectfully on the ground and softly called out:
"grown ups."
Qin Luo opened his eyes at this moment, but the intense pain of his soul being constantly shattered still spread across his face.
His face was as pale as paper, cold sweat poured from his forehead, his jaw was clenched, and every breath was accompanied by painful trembling.
Despite the excruciating pain, Qin Luo spoke to Yue Lishan in a broken voice:
"I need your soul..."
"I know this is a bit difficult for you, but I'll let you go afterwards... All the previous arguments will be wiped clean..."
After saying that, Qin Luo endured the excruciating pain of his soul shattering, took a deep breath, and his chest heaved violently.
His deep gaze fell on Yue Lishan, who was kneeling on the ground, waiting for her answer.
Now that things have come to this, he is ultimately unwilling to let the jade soul dissipate like this. Once the soul collapses, it will cause irreparable damage to his foundation, which is why he has resorted to this desperate measure.
On the surface, Qin Luo seemed to be calmly discussing with Yue Lishan, leaving her room for choice. But in reality, how could Yue Lishan possibly refuse?
His soul contained immeasurable value, the very foundation upon which he survived on this cruel path of cultivation. In contrast, although Yue Lishan had followed him all the way, she harbored ulterior motives. In Qin Luo's eyes, her value was far less than that of his own soul, which was on the verge of shattering...
Little did she know, Yue Lishan was also bewildered after hearing Qin Luo's words, as she didn't answer immediately.
But she knew in her heart that Qin Luo's previous behavior had shown that he did not care about her body, otherwise he would not have unhesitatingly removed the restrictions that the senior had placed on her.
The only reasonable explanation for his current demand for my soul gift is the extremely weak spiritual aura he displayed just now.
This made Yue Lishan wonder to herself, could it be that he encountered a severe backlash while cultivating his technique?
Thinking of this, Yue Lishan suddenly felt an irresistible urge.
In the past, under the shadow of Qin Luo's overwhelming strength and mysterious background, she knew she would never be worthy of this human's attention.
But fate is a strange thing. At this moment, an opportunity to change everything is placed in front of her. Whether she succeeds or fails depends entirely on whether she can seize it.
Nianzhi, Yue Lishan slightly raised her head, her eyes secretly observing Qin Luo.
His face was completely bloodless; his usually handsome, composed, and confident features were now distorted and deformed by pain.
This Qin Luo evoked mixed feelings in Yue Lishan, with various emotions welling up in her heart. Yet, beneath these emotions lay an indescribable expectation.
"My lord, I am willing to offer my soul."
After Yue Lishan finished speaking, she slowly raised her head, her gaze filled with a hint of fear, yet she tried her best to capture even the slightest change in Qin Luo's expression.
She gently bit her lower lip, her voice softening unconsciously, and asked tentatively:
"I know that the Soul Gift is of great significance to you, my lord. In order to help you overcome this calamity, I am willing to give everything for you. But... I only hope that you will not forget my sacrifice today."
As she spoke, her palms became sweaty with nervousness. She secretly observed Qin Luo's reaction, her heart pounding, terrified that her abrupt words might offend him.
Seeing that Qin Luo did not answer immediately, Yue Lishan paused for a moment before adding with relief:
"If you ever need my services in the future, I will go through fire and water without hesitation. I only hope that you will remember this friendship and chat with me a little more in your spare time, so that I know that my efforts are not in vain."
After speaking, she lowered her head, waiting for Qin Luo's response, a feeling of unease spreading through her heart.
Upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed in Qin Luo's eyes.
This month, Li Shan is quite ambitious; she actually dared to set her sights on him, plotting against him.
I understand what you're thinking.
"But have you forgotten your current predicament?!"
At this point, Qin Luo narrowed his eyes, revealing a sense of pressure in his gaze.
"Sometimes having a lot of thoughts is a good thing, but if you put all those thoughts on me, do you think you can bear the consequences?"
“I’m giving you a chance because I need your soul right now. Don’t take that as leverage to make demands of me.”
"You'd better keep your little schemes to yourself in front of me, or you'll know what true despair is."
Yue Lishan's heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't help but shiver.
She quickly lowered her head and said in a trembling voice:
"Please calm down, my lord. I know my place and I would never have any improper thoughts."
However, a hint of resentment flashed in her lowered eyes, but she skillfully concealed this subtle emotion.
However, this subtle change in emotion did not escape Qin Luo's notice, but he didn't have time to nudge him at the moment. He sighed and then said indifferently:
"Fine, since you've put it that way, I'll give you a chance. Let's see if you can seize it..."
