Chapter 31 Apology
◎I'm sorry◎
It's just a plaything, how could she, the dignified Demon Lord, care about it?
If Luo Wusheng didn't still have the identity of W, Shi Hanqiao would never have agreed to help him win first place. After all, she had no interest in first place.
She had treated him very gently, she neither hit him nor scolded him, she just liked to tease him and see his reaction that was different from calmness. You know, those people from the Immortal Sect and the Demon Realm often paid the price of losing the mountain.
Shi Hanqiao thought that she had treated him in a normal way, and she could accept the retreat of a plaything. His evasive eyes and the way he didn't dare to look her in the eye were also quite amusing.
But after being rejected again and again, she lost her patience.
She will continue to carry out what she said and the promise she made to W.
As for Luo Wusheng, since he took the initiative to distance himself from her, she didn't bother to care.
Anyway, she has considered distancing herself from W, and things are going well now.
The soft whip cut through the air with a short and sharp "whoosh" sound, revealing the true emotions of its owner beneath his cold exterior.
Hunyuan Ling was so frightened that she shuddered and became completely awake.
'Dog temper!'
He was still very sensible. He didn't rashly speak out and draw the fire to himself at this point. He only dared to complain in his heart.
But, to be honest, he hadn't seen her show any signs of real anger in many years.
There was a time when Shi Hanqiao was a walking barrel of explosives, ready to explode even without being lit. During that time, he nonchalantly provoked her, igniting her violent temper.
After she completely accepted Luo Wei's death, she still had a bad temper. Later, when she conquered the Demon Realm, subdued the Demon King, and turned the Three Realms upside down, she was not angry so often.
She calmly and calmly bombed the Three Realms, temporarily ending the countless years of warfare between the Dao Alliance, the Demon Realm, and the Demon Realm. Because as long as Han Qiao was there, the Three Realms would stop fighting and collectively attack and punish her.
Countless curses and insults came like a tide, but she just curled her lips in contempt and didn't take it to heart.
She had unknowingly lost those intense emotions, and although she appeared to be in control of everything, she actually didn't take anything seriously.
Hunyuan Ling didn't care about her transformation at first, thinking that she had just walked out of the shadow of Luo Wei's death.
Luo Wei's death was just a helpless one.
But it was not until Shi Hanqiao stood on the opposite side of the three realms and attracted the flames of war to herself that Hunyuan Ling realized that she had never forgotten Luo Wei for a moment.
She is using her own extreme, sharp, and aggressive way to achieve Luo Wei's wish for world peace.
The three realms of humans, demons, and monsters are constantly at war, but when an absolutely powerful force emerges and threatens them, they have to stop fighting and temporarily unite to attack Shi Hanqiao.
She made herself a target and stood in opposition to the three realms. The opposition between the two sides dissolved the contradictions between the three realms.
By the time Hunyuan Ling realized the problem, he could only watch Shi Hanqiao with a nonchalant smile. His various actions, such as blowing up mountains, demon caves, and monster palaces, seemed to be looking for trouble to relieve boredom, but in fact they were all for the purpose of balancing the three realms.
Gradually, the three words "Shi Hanqiao" disappeared in the Three Realms, and were replaced by the "Demon Lord", a name that made people feel cold on their backs and weak in their legs when they heard it.
One day, Hunyuan Ling noticed that during the day, she would put on a casual smile in front of the noisy crowd, whose true intention could not be seen, but when the noise died down and she was alone, she still had a half-smile.
Only in the middle of the night, when she sat alone on the eaves, would she not smile. Her face had no expression, and it was impossible to tell whether she was happy or angry. She looked at the moonlight above her head, her eyes like a pool of calm stagnant water.
Only then did he realize that she had never gotten over the shadow of Luo Wei's death. The shadow on the surface turned into a thorn in her heart, piercing deep into her flesh and taking root deep in her soul.
The Hunyuan Bell is not an understanding magical instrument. It is used to bickering with Shi Hanqiao, so it is impossible for it to comfort her.
Besides, with her bad temper, it would be strange if I didn't get ridiculed if I tried to comfort her.
Over the years, everything has been peaceful.
However, from the perspective of a "friend", Hunyuan Ling was still afraid that she would fall into extremes.
So when she became interested in Luo Wusheng and W, he thought it was a good thing.
But he also knew that she would leave them sooner or later.
He often said that she had a "dog temper" because he knew her character flaws. She could control any external things with ease based on her own strength, but once she encountered any interpersonal relationships, or "emotions" involving emotional changes, she would fall into contradictions and entanglements.
The solution to these annoying emotions is simple: cut the Gordian knot - rejection and alienation.
Shi Hanqiao's gaze didn't even fall on Luo Wusheng. She took the other end of the whip back into her hand, turned around and left without any hesitation.
This is of course what Luo Wusheng wants to achieve. He still can't sort out his complex emotions that are both familiar and unfamiliar. Rejection and alienation are the most effective ways to keep his brain clear.
However, Han Qiao's resolute back in the moonlight made his mind explode with a bang.
This is an intuition, an extremely strong intuition that appeared ten years ago!
Luo Wusheng walked forward quickly, his body moving faster than his brain, and he grabbed her wrist. Almost the moment he touched her, he felt a repulsive force pulling his hand away.
For a moment, his depressed heart could not overcome his natural intuition, and Luo Wusheng reached out to pull Shi Hanqiao's arm again. She stopped and turned to face her. The silver moonlight was not as cold and indifferent as her eyes.
She didn't say anything, but just coldly grabbed his wrist with her other hand and pulled it away from her arm, leaving him with an indifferent back again.
After two rejections, his slowly growing pride and self-esteem did not allow Luo Wusheng to send out any more active messages of approaching. He could not accept being rejected for the third time.
Moreover, isn't distancing himself from Shi Hanqiao exactly what he wants to achieve?
Although, it was different from the alienation he expected.
Luo Wusheng's rationality was more inclined to win over Shi Hanqiao, not only because she was Shi Qi's daughter, but also because of her own mental strategy. He envisioned that they could trust each other and maintain a good cooperative relationship.
Everything is moving in an orderly manner towards this goal.
However, emotional feelings cannot be as rigid as rationality. He has a good impression of the Demon Lord, that is beyond doubt.
His affection for the Demon Lord was more like admiration and longing. The more he interacted with her, the more he saw the disparity in their power. She used a standard avatar from the Star Realm, and her existence was too far away for him. Whether in terms of strength or state of mind, she was like a perfect statue of a deity, atop an unreachable immortal mountain.
He may spend his entire life without being able to reach the foot of the mountain where the statue is located, and can only gaze at it from afar.
However, Shi Hanqiao is different, she is a living person.
She was a real person with facial features and eyes. She was a living person who used branches to remind him when he was in trouble and reached out to pull him up when he was in trouble.
More importantly, she had the same illusory sense of familiarity as the Demon Lord.
Apart from friendship, Luo Wusheng was not very good at dealing with other emotions. So when that strange yet familiar feeling appeared, he did not realize it immediately.
The next time I realized it was at this moment.
He didn't even have time to wonder why he was attracted to two completely different people at the same time, because he was stung by Shi Hanqiao's rejecting and distant attitude.
He did not have the optimism and enthusiasm of Luo Wuming and Josephine, and he could laugh indifferently even when being alienated. His hands slowly dropped as he watched Shi Hanqiao walk away.
However, a voice filled Luo Wusheng's mind. If he couldn't ease the relationship with Shi Hanqiao now, they would become strangers who were not even enemies.
The intuition given to him by God was rarely triggered, the last time being ten years ago.
Neither pride nor intuition can prevail.
Shi Hanqiao kept moving forward, his shadow getting longer and longer in the moonlight, and the distance between them getting farther and farther.
Luo Wusheng took a deep breath, took two steps forward, and grabbed her arm.
Some things need to be made clear. He did not handle how to get along well at the beginning and chose the most convenient but also the dumbest way - alienation.
As a conductor, there is an essential skill - thinking from the other person's perspective.
A light bulb suddenly struck him. Since he felt uncomfortable because of Shi Hanqiao's alienation, then wouldn't she also feel uncomfortable because of her lazy appearance these days?
Otherwise, why is she so indifferent now? !
He ignored her feelings. Not all Alphas are careless, and not all Alphas show their emotions on their faces.
Luo Wusheng had never seen through Shi Hanqiao. He could only occasionally sense her emotions. Most of the time, she was shrouded in a layer of white mist, and he could not sense her true emotions at all.
What if her discomfort is hidden under a nonchalant appearance and no one notices?
Luo Wusheng didn't know what to say for a moment, he just held her hand tightly, his phoenix eyes met her calm dark eyes.
"put--"
Before he could even utter the word "hand", Shi Hanqiao's hand had already pressed down on the back of his hand, his knuckles trembling under the taut skin. He unconsciously increased his strength, perhaps because he was afraid of being brushed away again.
[You, why can't you just accept other people's kindness directly? ]
"You're always so stubborn! It's not that it's bad, but it makes you miss out on a lot of good things."
[Because for some people, even taking the initiative to approach them has exhausted all their energy.]
Shi Hanqiao thought of Luo Wei's words at an inopportune moment. Her palm fell on the back of Luo Wusheng's hand. It was obvious that she could pry it open without much effort, but she hesitated to move.
"Shi Hanqiao, I'm sorry."
Luo Wusheng spoke in a serious and sincere tone, looking directly into her eyes without dodging or avoiding.
There is no need to explain the reason, they all understand why.
Last time it was a thank you, this time it was an apology.
Shi Hanqiao's slightly raised eyelids, the wind-blown hair on her temples, and the slightly pursed corners of her lips were all reflected in her phoenix eyes full of expectation.
Every minute and every second seems to stretch infinitely, and a breath seems like just a day.
It was unknown how many days and nights had passed before Luo Wusheng saw her slightly open her lips.
"Ten favors, not one less."
Luo Wusheng breathed a sigh of relief, and the corners of his mouth curled up as he relaxed his mood.
"good!"

Hmm~~~When I start writing about emotions, the pace slows down.
Irresponsible Little Theater
Mou Sheng (confused): Why can one person like two people at the same time?
A certain Qiao (glance): Haven’t you ever thought that you have always been attracted to the same person?
