Looking at the surrounding darkness, Qin Luo felt uneasy. After all, he couldn't guarantee what crazy things You Yueying might do under this pressure.
But after taking a deep breath, he still gritted his teeth and walked into the deep darkness.
His feigned indifference carried on the wind:
“Some bottom lines must be crossed, and there are consequences. You know my personality. If you really want to stop me, I have nothing to say.”
Two years together, not a long time, not a short time, and I don't want there to be a day when we have to confront each other...
And so, Qin Luo gritted his teeth and plunged headfirst into it.
Though her words were soft, they instantly brought You Yueying, who was on the verge of collapse, back to her senses. She clenched her fists tightly, and the veins on her hands bulged prominently.
Two thoughts roared vehemently in her mind:
"He abandoned you, leaving you for those vixens! How can you just watch him leave? You absolutely cannot let him go; you must keep him by your side. As long as you keep him by your side, time will let him know that I am the one who loves him the most!"
This thought, filled with resentment, drove her to manipulate the darkness, attempting to trap Qin Luo completely within it.
Another thought was gentle and sorrowful:
"Are you really willing to lay a hand on him? Once you turn against each other, there will be no turning back. At that point, will there still be even the slightest place for you in his heart?"
This thought, filled with endless longing, stirred up waves of fear within her.
In the end, You Yueying couldn't bring herself to do it; she didn't dare, she was afraid.
She feared that even if Qin Luo was forced to stay by her side, his gaze towards her would be filled with indifference and aloofness, instead of the gentle and affectionate look he used to have. This was a fact she could not accept no matter what.
Thinking of this, You Yueying's hands fell limply to her sides, and the omnipresent darkness gradually subsided.
At this moment, even the supreme being who could overturn heaven and earth felt an unprecedented sense of powerlessness.
She finally understood what it felt like for those suitors who were incredibly annoying to her a thousand years ago, no matter how much she ridiculed and ruthlessly drove them away, they still stubbornly persisted in their pursuit.
She could easily keep Qin Luo by her side forever with just a flick of her finger. But she couldn't do that, because she cared about him and his feelings.
It was this concern that made her endure even the most aggrieved feelings and dare not act rashly.
As Qin Luo plunged into the darkness, he first felt the terror of the darkness. He couldn't activate any of his spiritual energy, and even the spiritual energy in his dantian was draining away at an alarming rate.
It should be noted that this was the Dark Instinct even though You Yueying had no intention of killing him. If she were to personally activate it, its power would likely undergo a qualitative change.
However, this unusual suppression only lasted for a few breaths before Qin Luo felt the pressure on his body ease, and the darkness that had been hindering him dissipated.
This made him realize that You Yueying's compromise was more of a compromise of unwillingness to harm himself, rather than a compromise of accepting his other lovers.
Thinking of this, Qin Luo paused, instinctively wanting to turn around and take a look at You Yueying.
However, reason ultimately prevailed over emotion, and he managed to suppress the urge to turn back, only letting out a sigh.
Immediately afterwards, spiritual energy appeared around him, transforming into a stream of light that flew far away and disappeared from You Yueying's sight in no time.
Only You Yueying remained standing there, gazing in the direction he had left, her eyes filled with tears and her heart filled with sorrow.
After Qin Luo left, You Yueying remained in this pose for a long time, like a frozen statue.
She should have spoken up to persuade them to stay when the darkness dissipated, but her pride prevented her from saying it.
She simply could not accept sharing a husband with women who were like ants in her eyes.
"Why...do you know why I would rather not care about that Eastern girl than bow down and compromise with your rouge and powder?"
"It is precisely because I know that the girl from the East has a powerful father, and that her future strength and status are fully worthy of you, that I have tacitly accepted her existence. But what about your other women?"
"Take that vixen with the Ice Emperor's bloodline for example. Do you think she can soar to the heavens just because she obtained the Ice Emperor's inheritance? If it weren't for my existence, it's questionable whether she could even protect the inheritance. Moreover, how can a mere descendant of a clan support the cultivation of a Saint Realm? Even if she obtains the inheritance, how long will it take her to reach the Saint Realm? A hundred years, a thousand years?"
"What's more, what makes your other women so special? They're just bloodsuckers around you, constantly draining your energy and holding you back."
"I did all this for you, and since you couldn't bring yourself to be the bad guy, I decided to play the villain. But how did it turn out like this..."
You Yueying spoke in a hoarse voice, her voice filled with resentment.
At this moment, waves of grief and indignation surged through her heart. She resented Qin Luo's fickleness, hated the interference of other women, and hated her own powerlessness in this relationship.
Just then, ripples appeared in the void above, and concentric circles of waves spread outwards.
A middle-aged figure emerged from within; this man was none other than the City Lord of Jue Tian City. As the only Supreme Realm expert on the Jue Tian Continent, he wielded unparalleled power.
Today, as he was diligently cultivating in the secret chamber of the city lord's mansion as usual, he inexplicably felt a strong sense of unease.
This feeling of unease interrupted his cultivation process. When he tried to find the source of this unease, he sensed that it was coming from the direction of the Void Realm.
The city lord of Jue Tian City remembered that two years ago, a secret realm of heaven and earth seemed to have emerged in this Void Heaven Domain, according to a notice from his subordinates. However, at that time, he was in the most critical stage of cultivation, so he handed it over to his servants to handle.
He had planned to explore this secret realm formed by the fall of a powerful being after he emerged from seclusion. To this end, he even diverted his attention to spread throughout the entire Jue Tian Continent, just to prevent the supreme beings of other continents from sensing this secret realm.
But today, he sensed a strange aura that seemed to pass through his mind and arrive in the Void Realm. Since his cultivation was almost complete, he traversed the void and rushed towards the Void Realm, which is how he appeared in the void not far from You Yueying.
As soon as the city lord of Jue Tian City emerged, he scanned the boundless darkness. Despite his strength, he was unable to see clearly at first glance, which immediately put him on alert.
You Yueying knew of the existence of the city lord of Jue Tian City as soon as he appeared; it's just that his appearance was indeed ill-timed.
At this moment, You Yueying was in a state of extreme grievance and resentment, with nowhere to vent her anger. The appearance of the City Lord of Jue Tian City undoubtedly gave her a source of venting her anger.
