Dan Bingli's gaze was drawn to the suddenly appearing figure; this was the first time she had seen You Yueying's appearance so closely.
Previously, through that mysterious black mist, she could only vaguely make out the general outline, but now that the black mist has been lifted, what is presented before her eyes is a face that is enough to bewitch the world.
Her long, ink-black hair cascaded freely down her back, and she wore a black robe that accentuated her graceful figure in the dimly lit ice house. She looked like a goddess descending from the night, noble and unapproachable.
Even with Dan Bingli's calm demeanor, complex emotions welled up within her.
She had to admit that You Yueying's beauty was extremely striking, both cold and dazzling.
That innate aloofness and arrogance made even herself pale in comparison, giving her an indescribable sense of inferiority.
On the other hand, thinking of Qin Luo's previous mention that she and You Yueying would address each other as sisters from now on, Dan Bingli felt uncomfortable and reserved.
Have you seen enough?
You Yueying spoke coldly, her voice breaking the brief silence in the room and pulling Dan Bingli back to reality from her reverie.
As soon as she finished speaking, You Yueying's pupils contracted sharply, and a cold glint flashed in her eyes, sharp and intimidating.
His gaze lingered on the jade bottle that had been casually placed to the side.
At this moment, the anger that she had been unable to contain flared up to its peak, almost burning away all her reason.
Wasn't that the Heavenly Essence Milk she gave Qin Luo? How did it end up here?
This is an unparalleled treasure that can enhance one's foundation even at the Saint Realm level. Heh, are you really willing to give it away so easily?
You Yueying immediately recognized that it was the Heavenly Essence Spirit Milk that she had personally given to Qin Luo. The thought that this Heavenly Essence Spirit Milk was the first gift she had ever given, carrying her unspoken feelings, was now in the hands of his confidante.
She clenched her teeth, and the barely suppressed displeasure made the room feel increasingly cold.
At this moment, Dan Bingli came back to her senses after hearing You Yueying's cold voice and quickly spoke:
"Sister, your beauty is absolutely stunning. I was momentarily captivated by your beauty, and I hope you will forgive me. I have not yet asked for your name, and I hope you will kindly tell me."
Dan Bingli felt gratitude and respect for this senior who had saved her entire clan from peril, and naturally felt no resistance whatsoever, extending her goodwill without reservation.
You Yueying remained unmoved. She stretched out her hand, and an invisible suction force drew the jade bottle into her hand.
Her slender fingers gripped the jade bottle tightly, and she did not answer Dan Bingli, her tone so flat that it betrayed no emotion:
"Heavenly Essence Milk is formed from the essence of heaven and earth. Even a Saint Realm cultivator can greatly enhance their foundation by consuming it, giving them a greater chance of breaking through bottlenecks."
Upon hearing this, Dan Bingli realized the value of the contents of the bottle and was surprised. She was about to speak when she heard this.
But just then, an extremely cold voice suddenly echoed in the room:
"The stuff is good, but do you even deserve to enjoy it?"
As soon as she finished speaking, You Yueying stared at Dan Bingli with frosty eyes.
In her mind, Qin Luo would never give a gift full of her heart to someone else; there must be some hidden reason behind it.
In her eyes, Dan Bingli was the one who had interfered!
Looking at Dan Bingli in front of her, You Yueying's eyes were full of disgust.
In her imagination, this woman must have used some kind of seductive trick to bewitch Qin Luo last night, causing him to be momentarily bewitched and do such a foolish thing.
This thought raged wildly in You Yueying's mind, and the anger that had been suppressed in her heart for a long time finally poured out.
At this moment, her gaze towards Dan Bingli was full of contempt, as if she were looking at a shameless vixen.
Upon hearing these sarcastic words, Dan Bingli's eyes widened in astonishment, filled with disbelief.
She never imagined that her kind gesture would be met with such humiliation.
"Why do you say that, senior?"
Dan Bingli took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, but her increasingly cold voice still betrayed her inner dissatisfaction.
Moreover, she wasn't the type to stand up for herself when bullied. Although the woman in front of her was their benefactor, once her bottom line was crossed, her inherent stubbornness and resilience were fully revealed.
She straightened her back and looked directly into You Yueying's eyes without fear, showing her dissatisfaction with the mockery she had just received.
"This was a gift from Qin Luo. If you feel jealous, senior, I can simply give it to you. Why be so sour?"
“I respect you as a senior who saved my tribe, which is why I sincerely call you ‘sister’ to express my respect. But isn’t it inappropriate for you to slander me like this without any evidence?”
"I have never done anything to wrong you. If we don't clear things up today, there may be no way to mend our sisterly bond as we stand by his side in the future."
In response to Dan Bingli's words, You Yueying gave a disdainful sneer, the sound of which seemed particularly sharp and piercing in the silent space.
"Did I say something wrong? Or do you think you have any right to be by his side?"
You Yueying took a step forward, exuding a powerful aura of pressure, her eyes filled with mockery, "Do you know how he spent the past two years?"
Upon hearing this, Dan Bingli fell silent, speechless. She had to admit that she indeed knew very little about Qin Luo's experiences over the past two years.
Seeing her silence, You Yueying's mockery intensified:
"Speechless now, aren't you? Do you know how many life-or-death trials he's faced in the past two years?"
"Back then, he ventured out with the strength of someone who had just reached the Divine Realm. The hardships and dangers he encountered along the way are beyond your imagination."
"When facing sages and those even stronger than sages, he could only endure and compromise time and time again..."
"Enough!" Dan Bingli suddenly raised her head, looked directly into You Yueying's eyes, and questioned:
"What exactly do you mean? You've humiliated me time and time again today, constantly saying I'm not qualified, so what right do you have to point fingers at me here?"
At this point, Dan Bingli took a deep breath to calm the turmoil in her heart, though her chest was still heaving violently:
“I admit that I haven’t been able to be by his side for the past two years and know very little about his experiences. But that doesn’t mean my feelings for him are any less than yours, nor does it mean I’m not qualified to be by his side!”
"You said he went through a lot of hardships, how could I not feel sorry for him? Do you think you're the only one who cares about his safety?"
"I have always been sincere towards Qin Luo. Ever since we confessed our feelings to each other, I have regarded him as the only one in my life."
If you've come here to humiliate me out of jealousy, then there's nothing more to say between us!
