At this moment, You Yueying revealed her most vulnerable side to Qin Luo without reservation, like a fawn exposing its soft belly, filled with fear.
She was afraid to hear Qin Luo reply that it was all because of a promise they had made together, afraid that Qin Luo's efforts for her were only out of a sense of duty and responsibility, rather than genuine feelings.
She feared that in his heart she was nothing more than someone who needed to be rescued, rather than the lover who could make his heart race and make him fall deeply in love.
She feared that the deep affection she had come to understand amidst life and death was merely a performance to fulfill a promise in Qin Luo's eyes.
If that were the case, she didn't know how she would face it.
She couldn't imagine how she would get through the days if all of this was based solely on promises.
Feeling the trembling of the slender waist in his arms, Qin Luo could clearly sense You Yueying's unease, and knew how important he was to her now.
He reached out with difficulty from her tight embrace, patted her back reassuringly, and whispered:
"How could you think that way? Can't you feel my feelings for you? Otherwise, I wouldn't have hinted at them to you so many times in the past."
Upon hearing this, You Yueying impatiently interrupted Qin Luo, her voice trembling slightly with excitement:
“I knew you liked me too… I do, I do want to spend the rest of my life with you.”
"As long as your feelings for me are genuine, I am willing to give everything for you, even my life."
"You are the only one I see, and you are the only one I love. We will be each other's only one from now on, right?"
Sure enough, given her proud nature, Qin Luo really didn't believe she had no possessiveness at all.
Qin Luo thought to himself, but he also knew that You Yueying's strong possessiveness stemmed from the loneliness and perseverance she had experienced over the long years. Now that she had finally found a place for her soul, she naturally wanted to hold on to it tightly.
After a long silence, Qin Luo finally spoke, his tone heavy:
"Yueying, as you know, I already have a Daoist partner. You are proud by nature, and with your current strength, you can be said to be in the highest echelon of the myriad worlds. The reason I remained silent is that I know that with your pride, you are destined not to compromise for me. After all, with my current strength, I really have no way to influence your choice."
These words laid the situation completely bare before the two of them.
He had two choices: either try to accept the fact that he already had a Daoist partner, or bury this deep affection forever. This was a helpless choice for Qin Luo as well. Without the system's investment, You Yueying couldn't know the situation accurately, so at this crucial moment, he had to cut the Gordian knot quickly.
Present all the questions to her and let her choose.
The merciless words pierced You Yueying's heart like sharp blades, tearing open the bottom line she had always been unwilling to mention.
At that moment, You Yueyingxin felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, shivering with cold.
She buried her head in Qin Luo's arms, her voice filled with resentment as she questioned him:
"Can't you just stop being so fickle? Aren't I good enough? Isn't it enough that I'm here for you? I've put aside all my pride and given you my whole heart, so why can't you belong to me completely?"
"You know I am the supreme one. I am willing to lower myself for you, so why can't you give me a pure and genuine affection?"
The phrase "to compromise and make peace" would never appear in You Yueying's dictionary. She was the most powerful woman in the land, and if she stomped her foot, the heavens and earth would tremble.
How could they compare to those ordinary, vulgar women? Do they even deserve to share a roof with me?
If we really want to quantify it, how many lives do they have to die?
Qin Luo sighed and pushed her slightly away from his embrace, saying, "I'm sorry."
You Yueying stared wide-eyed at Qin Luo, her eyes filled with resentment.
Why? Why won't it belong to me alone?
Can they pour out their deepest affection for you like I do?
Could they give up everything for you like I would, even their lives?
Can they pave a promising path for you with their own abilities, just like I can?
Can they understand every little corner of your heart and offer the most appropriate comfort when you are confused?
Why can't you just curb your philandering and stay with me for the rest of your life?
Countless whispers echoed in You Yueying's heart. The proud woman was now filled with resentment, which twisted her heart into a near-desperate obsession.
Since you refuse to belong to me alone, then I will leave you with no choice. From this day forward, he can only be by my side!
Those women will all be in the past. I will help you slowly forget them until you only have eyes for me!
Sensing the supreme aura emanating from her and the madness in her eyes, Qin Luo felt a sense of unease. Would things go wrong this time?
But the more things get to this point, the less he can afford to be timid. The more fiery his temper, the more he needs to suppress it, otherwise he'll cause trouble sooner or later.
"What? Are you trying to attack me?"
As the dark aura around them grew thicker, Qin Luo spoke first, his gaze fixed on You Yueying's ever-changing expression, though a hint of coldness lingered in his affectionate eyes.
"Are you trying to forcibly bind me?"
Seeing the coldness in his eyes, You Yueying's heart trembled, and she quickly suppressed her aura, firmly holding back her crazy thoughts.
She dared not gamble on even the slightest possibility, fearing that Qin Luo would be displeased with her, and that making such a choice would create a knot in his heart that could never be erased.
I'm even more afraid that their relationship will be gone forever...
You Yueying bit her lip, her eyes constantly shifting between feelings of grievance, resentment, and fear, but above all, a deep longing for Qin Luo.
Suddenly, she turned abruptly around, her back to Qin Luo, her shoulders trembling slightly, and her voice trembling with tears as she complained:
"What did I do wrong to deserve this torment! Those ordinary women, how can they compare to me? Yet you... you can't forget them!"
"I gave up my dignity and pride for you, so what makes you worthy of my affection?"
Whew~
Seeing this, Qin Luo breathed a sigh of relief. Although she complained, it also represented her compromise. She should strike while the iron was hot.
Stopping his thoughts, Qin Luo took a step forward and embraced You Yueying's voluptuous body from behind, resting his head on her shoulder and speaking gently:
"You did nothing wrong, I'm the one who's wrong, it's all my fault."
Feeling his embrace, You Yueying's delicate body went limp, and she involuntarily snuggled closer to him.
Despite her resentment, she had no choice but to temporarily compromise after seeing Qin Luo's resolute attitude.
Hold me tight, let me know that at this moment, you belong to me alone.
You Yueying spoke in a trembling voice, her head lowered, her tone sounding relieved, but she dared not turn to look at him, afraid that Qin Luo would see the unwilling glint in her eyes.
