"She's really quick-witted! No wonder she's so charming to him."
The coldness in You Yueying's eyes deepened, and a chilling aura emanated from her, freezing the atmosphere between the two of them.
"Over the past two years, I have fought alongside him and faced countless life-or-death crises together."
"And what were you doing while he was fighting so fiercely?"
"He went through countless life-and-death situations, desperately improving his strength. When he sought my protection for your clan, I didn't want to argue with you too much based on our first-come, first-served principle."
"But what about you? You ran back to your tribe without hesitation, leaving him all alone. Did you ever think about how cold and disappointed he must have felt at that moment?"
You Yueying pressed on relentlessly, each word laced with accusation, "Your departure already shows that in your heart, the clan holds far more weight than him. If that's the case, why are you still clinging to him after I helped you stabilize the situation?"
At this point, You Yueying's voice grew increasingly sharp, filled with undisguised disgust:
"You've already betrayed his trust, how can you still have the nerve to stay by his side?"
Hearing the barrage of questions, Dan Bingli took a few steps back, her face turning deathly pale. She was clearly deeply hurt by You Yueying's words and found it hard to accept.
"I...I didn't...I just didn't want him to sacrifice everything for me..."
She tried to explain, but her voice was so weak it was almost inaudible.
The image of Qin Luo's weary eyes upon his return involuntarily surfaced in her mind, and the guilt that welled up in her heart could no longer be suppressed.
Did she really do something wrong?
At that time, Dan Bingli was thinking of not letting Qin Luo risk his life for her. After all, the future of her clan was uncertain, and she could not see any hope. That was why she chose to return to her clan alone and bear the burden silently by herself.
But now, You Yueying's questions were striking her heart. These thoughts kept tugging at her mind and swirling around, dragging her into self-doubt.
But the next moment, tormented by extreme self-doubt and guilt, Dan Bingli grasped at the last straw, her voice trembling with urgency:
“I know my previous departure was inappropriate, and I didn’t want to… I still have the Ice Emperor’s legacy! I will give this legacy to him to make up for everything that happened before.”
As soon as the words left her mouth, Dan Bingli lost her usual composure. After all, this Ice Emperor's inheritance was an opportunity she had only agreed to accept last night in Qin Luo's arms, but now her guilt towards Qin Luo left her no time to think about anything else.
At this moment, all she wanted to do was prove to You Yueying that her feelings for Qin Luo were not as terrible as the other party had slandered her, and to prove that although she had made mistakes, she was by no means a useless person who would only be a burden.
Upon hearing this, You Yueying's eyes flickered. Her heart was filled with jealousy as she thought:
Qin Luo didn't even ask her for the Primordial Ice Flower Dharma Image? He's being ridiculously lenient with Dan Bingli, even giving her his Heavenly Essence Spirit Milk. He's truly bewitched!
Although she was unwilling, You Yueying thought of something and a disdainful sneer curled up at the corner of her mouth.
"You think your Primordial Ice Flower Dharma Image, left behind by your ancient Ice Emperor, is worthy of matching Qin Luo's status? His future is destined to stand at the pinnacle of countless worlds, and I will meticulously pave every step of his path for him."
“I will find him the most supreme ancient Dharma form in the world and help him comprehend the most powerful and unparalleled divine abilities. These are the things he should rely on.”
After speaking, You Yueying suddenly turned her gaze to Dan Bingli, her eyes piercing the other woman, her tone full of questioning and mockery:
"On the other hand, what can you do for him? Besides wallowing in self-pity and feigning deep affection, what other skills do you have to offer?"
Having weathered a thousand years of ups and downs, You Yueying's cunning was honed through countless power struggles and life-or-death trials. How could the inexperienced Dan Bingli possibly contend with it?
Caught off guard by such sharp words, Dan Bingli felt her mind go blank. She shook her head frantically, trying to dispel the panic and confusion in her heart. After a long while, she finally managed to say incoherently:
"No, I'm not like that... My feelings for him are real, I'm willing to give everything for him, even my life..."
"I...I just wanted him to survive. I...I will work hard in my cultivation so I can help him in the future..."
The incoherent voice sounded particularly weak and helpless in this oppressive space.
Seeing Dan Bingli's flustered and helpless appearance, You Yueying sneered inwardly, feeling that the time was right to win her over and it was time to close the net.
She narrowed her eyes, a glint of ruthlessness flashing within them, a faint mockery playing at the corners of her lips, and slowly spoke:
"I don't know what kind of shady seductive tricks you used last night to make him bewitched and soften his heart towards you for a moment."
You Yueying drawled out her words, her tone full of contempt, her eyes sweeping over Dan Bingli with a smug look, "I think you're nothing more than relying on your looks. What's the difference between you and those women who flaunt their charms on the street?"
She deliberately spoke harshly, each word ruthlessly stripping away any remaining self-esteem of Dan Bingli.
Seeing Dan Bingli's extremely contracted pupils, You Yueying's words suddenly changed, and a suffocating silence filled the air.
"But there are some things I have to say on his behalf."
"What's done is done. From the moment you left without permission, you trampled on his sincerity. Perhaps in his heart, you've already..."
