Chapter 626 No Need to Hide
A few years ago, she would never have imagined that such words would come out of the mouth of Di Xuanming, a big ice cube.
She held her chin with one hand and sighed regretfully, "I really miss that Lord Emperor who couldn't say more than three sentences a day and couldn't smile for three days."
She didn't know that in front of other people, Di Xuanming was still the same person who couldn't smile for three days.
The only change is probably that I can now speak three sentences a day.
Upon hearing this, Di Xuanming's lips curled up into a helpless yet doting smile. He slowly approached, his figure elongated in the candlelight, intertwining with Luo Li's shadow.
He reached out and gently stroked the strands of hair on her forehead, his movements so gentle as if he was afraid of disturbing the tranquility. "Ah Li, spiritual masters have long lifespans, and people always change."
"But no matter how I change, my love for you will always remain the same."
His words were low and firm, and there was an unprecedented light in his eyes, as if he was not speaking love words, but a vow.
Before Di Xuanming finished speaking, ripples appeared in Luo Li's eyes. She suddenly stood on tiptoe, lightly slid her fingertips across his chin, and approached him provocatively. Their breathing instantly intertwined, and the air was filled with a faint mixture of cold wood fragrance and floral scent.
She spoke softly, yet with undeniable strength, "Then, Lord Emperor, you must prove with your actions that your unwavering love is more than just empty words."
Di Xuanming felt quite helpless. He pressed her waist and asked her to sit down quietly. "Don't move."
Luo Li was gently pressed by Di Xuanming. Although her body was stable, the fire in her eyes became even more intense, and a sly smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Far from retreating, she leaned closer, her warm breath brushing against Di Xuanming's ear as she whispered, "Lord Emperor, in this long night, why don't you let me teach you what it means to prove your sincerity?"
Before she finished her words, she lifted her slender hand. Wherever her fingertips touched, an invisible force surged, and the air around them trembled slightly. In an instant, the candlelight in the hall flickered, reflecting the myriad brilliance flowing in her eyes and the irresistible temptation.
Di Xuanming's eyes darkened, and a playful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He no longer spoke, but responded with actions - he slowly approached, and the distance between the two was so close that they could almost hear each other's heartbeats, and every breath was intertwined with each other, inseparable.
Suddenly, Luo Li pushed the person away and said innocently, "Okay, let's get down to business."
The warmth faded away. Looking at Luo Li's expression, Di Xuanming didn't get angry. He just leaned closer and asked, "Ali, will you tell me everything I want to know?"
Luo Li yawned lightly and nodded lazily, "Well, I'll tell you, so just ask."
Di Xuanming's eyes were as deep as the night sky. He slowly lowered his eyes, his gaze gently falling on Luo Li's slightly tired face, as if he could see through all her secrets.
He gently raised his hand, touched Luo Li's eyebrows with his fingertips, and slowly slid down along the delicate contours, finally stopping at her slightly open lips. They were so close that they could feel each other's warm breath.
Finally, he chuckled and said, "But I don't have anything to ask."
Luo Li suddenly woke up. She looked at Di Xuanming with a complicated expression. This kid was so fierce. She had prepared all the answers, but he didn't ask any questions.
She emphasized, "If you miss this opportunity, you'll miss it forever."
Di Xuanming tapped her lips and asked vaguely, "Does it concern your life?"
Luo Li was startled and touched her nose, "It's not that serious."
There was a hint of playfulness and helplessness in her words. Her clear eyes looked even more lively in the candlelight, and when she blinked gently, it seemed as if stars were twinkling.
"That does matter." Di Xuanming sighed softly, "But I don't want anyone else to know something that could affect your life, not even me."
Thinking of those people in the Continent of Gods who had been searching for his whereabouts, he pursed his lips.
If one day he was discovered by those people, at least they wouldn't discover her secret when searching his memory.
The flickering candlelight stretched the two figures long and overlapping, as if even their destinies were quietly connected at this moment.
Luo Li bit her lower lip lightly, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes. She slowly stretched out her hand and touched Di Xuanming's furrowed brow with her fingertips, trying to soothe the imperceptible worry.
"Ah Ming, there's no need to hide anything between you and me. We'll weather the storm together. My secrets, your secrets, no one can take them away, no one can know them."
After she finished speaking, she smiled slightly. That smile was warm and firm, like the gentlest spring breeze, gently blowing away the haze in Di Xuanming's heart.
He looked at her, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes, and finally turned into a deep pool of tenderness, as if it could accommodate everything in the world.
Luo Li saw the worry in his eyes disappear, and she smiled again, "So, do you want to ask again?"
Di Xuanming shook his head firmly, "No."
Okay...
Luo Li thought helplessly, I can't just lean over and whisper it in his ear.
He will always have a chance to know in the future, so this time won't make any difference.
She remembered something else.
She took out the jade pendant left by the high priest of the spirit world and tilted her head slightly, "Where do you think the secret realm that high priest mentioned is?"
Emperor Xuanming thought about the scenery he had seen and pondered, "There aren't many places that match that scenery, but most of them are in the northern continent, which is quite far away from us."
Hearing this, Luo Li gently stroked the warm surface of the jade pendant with her fingertips, and a hint of curiosity flashed in her eyes.
"The Northern Continent, before the secret realm opens, I must go and see it if I have the chance."
Di Xuanming stared at her, his eyes gentle and deep.
He spoke slowly, his voice low and magnetic, "No matter how far, as long as you want to go, I will accompany you."
He thought of something, "There seems to be a grand event in the Northern Continent next year. How about we go together then?"
Luo Li nodded with a smile, "Okay."
Di Xuanming curled his lips and pinched the girl's cheek, "Okay, it's late, let's rest."
Luo Li sighed, "Even in Tianyuan Continent, I've never rested for three consecutive days..."
"In that case." Di Xuanming pressed the man down on the bed, "Just relax for now. After a while, you might not be able to relax like this again."
Thinking of the foggy road ahead, Luo Li breathed a sigh of relief, "That's right!"
The moonlight shines through the window lattice and shines into the quaint and elegant room, adding a touch of tenderness to the quiet night.
Luo Li lay on the bed, looking at the interweaving of light and shadow on the ceiling, a rare peace surging in her heart.
Di Xuanming sat beside the bed, stroking Luo Li's soft black hair with one hand, his eyes so gentle that it seemed as if water could drip out.
