Before Jinran could finish speaking, he was kissed. The inner demons lurking in his sea of consciousness were going crazy! Jinran, you old bastard! Is this still the aloof and untouchable god he knows?
Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly found himself completely blacked out and unable to hear anything. Fine! So this is how they treat him after using him, huh?
Jinran, that old beast, should just become a proper immortal!
…
…
Wan Ge's nine tails swayed gently, brushing against the other's body intermittently.
“Little fox…” Jinran’s cheeks were still flushed, and he looked at her with his beautiful eyes, and said softly, “Is it true that you like me?”
"Of course!" Wan Ge answered without hesitation, and kissed him on the forehead again: "I've always liked you, I'm just angry that you've never responded to me, it's just..."
I just wanted to create distance, to let the other person experience loss so they would know how to cherish it, and I just wanted to make him develop strong feelings for me.
"Really? That's great." Jinran hugged the person tightly.
"I won't ignore you anymore." That was when he didn't know if he should reply, whether he could fall for her, or how much he would love her. He was also afraid of hurting her.
That was indeed the case, but before she could even be moved by worldly desires, she suffered such a serious injury because of something else.
Unbeknownst to Wan Ge, while searching for demon cores and rare treasures for her, Jin Ran allowed himself to get injured. He was punishing himself, telling himself that the injuries he was suffering now were nothing compared to what she had endured back then.
He had nothing to argue with; he had failed to fall in love with her first and protect her, so he would never allow her to suffer any more harm in the future.
"Ranran, it's not your fault that you didn't like me first." When Wange saw the self-reproach in his eyes, she knew what he was thinking.
However, matters of love cannot be forced. The fact that he fell in love with her so early on was simply because of their previous emotional connection.
But if there was no previous emotional foundation and he lost his memory, it wouldn't be incomprehensible if he never fell in love with her in his entire life.
Not all expressions of affection will be reciprocated, nor should all expressions of affection be reciprocated.
Wan Ge was well aware that her initiative in pursuing him stemmed not only from genuine affection but also from her mission. If it weren't her, but some other player who was only there to complete a task, then no matter how much she pursued him, she wouldn't be able to blame anyone for not getting a response.
Similarly, if her intentions were impure from the beginning, she shouldn't expect any response from the other party.
Her expectations weren't because of the mission, but simply because of the emotions she felt across so many worlds. Besides, Jinran had never disappointed her; he had truly fallen for her. The man who was supposed to be heartless had actually fallen for her.
Her unhappiness stemmed from personal emotions, not from something incomprehensible. It's just that reason and emotion can sometimes be separated.
…
Jinran felt his heart suddenly pounding. Did Wange really not blame him anymore? That's why she could say such things.
Jinran excitedly hugged the person in her arms again, feeling the little fox in her arms, and her heart finally calmed down after a hundred years.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Are you feeling any better?" Wan Ge was looking forward to the results of their half-month of dual cultivation.
Jinran nodded: "I feel like I'm not in so much pain anymore."
