Su Yuxuan couldn't hold back anymore.
"Senior brother, cultivation is like swimming against the current, we must forge ahead. How can we just sink into despair and wait for death?"
Ye Chen nodded, "You're right! But as a late-stage Foundation Establishnt cultivator, what can I do?"
Su Yuxuan spoke seriously, "Senior brother, if you give
your heart... I can secretly rid myself of the Heart Devouring Talisman and gather strength. When Old Monster Wang finishes refining the dicine and cos to capture , I'll strike her with a fatal blow."
Ye Chen frowned slightly after hearing this, "But what if your ambush fails, and she uses our brother's soul to threaten you?"
Su Yuxuan felt exasperated but still spoke earnestly, "We have to try... Besides, although Old Monster Wang swore an oath to the heavens, I still don't fully trust her. She promised to release my brother's soul from the Human Emperor Banner, to let it return to nature. But who knows if she'll let soone else destroy my brother's soul? The heavenly oath has too many loopholes. So, rather than relying on others, relying on myself is better."
Ye Chen nodded upon hearing this. This was the true nature of the little demoness. She had once promised to stay by his side forever, only to abandon him when it suited her. How could she trust anyone's words? Even the heavenly oath couldn't be trusted. Her earlier act had been far too unnatural.
However, Ye Chen's face still showed hesitation, "But if I give you my heart, doesn't that an I die?"
Who would want to die?
Su Yuxuan understood Ye Chen's hesitation. She gently placed her small foot into his hand, "But if you don't give it to , we're both dead... If you give
your heart, I might still have a chance to live. You've said it yourself: making the enemy unhappy is the sa as making yourself happy. Rather than letting Old Monster Wang easily possess
and kill you, why not let
live, and I'll kill her? This would be the best ending."
Su Yuxuan decided to play her cards openly. It was clear that Ye Chen truly liked her. Since other thods weren't working, she would have to plead with him.
Ye Chen had already given her his eyes before. Later, he gave her precious items like the Glazed Purification Water and the Ancient Jade as soon as he got them. Now, with a choice that could save her life and bring trouble to the enemy, there was a very high chance Ye Chen would agree.
But Ye Chen furrowed his brow even deeper. "But... if I die, what happens to the enemy doesn't matter to
at all."
Su Yuxuan: ...
That's not what you said just now.
Su Yuxuan held back the urge to grind her teeth. "Senior brother, isn't it good for
to live?"
Ye Chen shook his head seriously. "Honestly, I'm not very happy about it. I do like you. But the premise is that I'm alive, and I have the chance to be with you. But if I die, and one day you find a partner, when I think about how your future won't have
in it, how everything that belongs to
will belong to another man, I beco even more unwilling. I'm not a saint, I'm actually very selfish. So, let's die together..."
You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.
Su Yuxuan panicked. Because Ye Chen liked her, he wanted to drag her down with him?
This...
Su Yuxuan hurriedly spoke up: "To truly love soone, it shouldn't be about possession. It's enough to see her happy. Like that saying, what was it? Ah, yes, 'If you are well, then it's a sunny day.' And besides, I promise I will stay alone for the rest of my life. I won't ever find another man. After eting soone like senior brother, how could I look at anyone else?"
Su Yuxuan's words made Ye Chen's lips twitch.
Didn't I just say that?
But Ye Chen remained unmoved. "Really? I don't believe it! You said you'd stay with
forever, but the mont the restrictions were lifted, you ran away imdiately."
Su Yuxuan's pale face flushed slightly as she quickly explained, "That's not it, it's just... I had deep, unresolved grudges to avenge, that's why... At the ti, I made up my mind that once I got my revenge, I'd sit by your grave for the rest of my life, to make up for deceiving and betraying you, senior brother."
Ye Chen didn't continue with this topic.
While gently rubbing her small foot, he looked off into the distance and spoke, "I've heard that in the final monts before death, a person will recall their entire life. I think, in the mories that belong to , junior sister will definitely occupy the largest portion…"
Seeing that Ye Chen was now discussing his "life flashing before his eyes," Su Yuxuan beca even more anxious…
I really don't want to die.
Old Monster Wang's refining process was almost done. Her heart couldn't hold on much longer. Even if she got Ye Chen's heart, it would take ti to refine and rge the heart with her body. She was truly running out of ti.
…
Su Yuxuan thought back to the benefits she had gained from Ye Chen before, and the price she had to pay for them. She lightly clenched her silver teeth, her body floating up and away from Ye Chen's embrace, then slowly extending her small foot. "Senior brother, what if I use my little foot?"
As she said this, she smoothly prepared to take action.
But Ye Chen, who had always welcod such gestures in the past, this ti imdiately pulled his hand away, his face showing disinterest. "Don't do that. I said I just want to quietly spend the last monts with you."
Ye Chen wasn't interested in this anymore? Was his previous rejection just a way to toy with her?
Su Yuxuan was genuinely panicking now. She bit her lip lightly. "Senior brother, what if I use this place?"
But Ye Chen still waved his hand dismissively. "No need. Look over there, doesn't that great hall look like the stars?"
Su Yuxuan's eyes filled with despair. But she still leaned close to Ye Chen, making one last attempt: "Senior brother, I love this…"
Yet Ye Chen remained unmoved, showing no interest. Now, Su Yuxuan truly felt a deep sense of hopelessness. She had always thought, after Ye Chen had given her so many precious items, including his Divine Ability eyes, that getting Ye Chen's heart was a sure thing. But she didn't expect Ye Chen to be so determined to die with her
What should she do now? Had she really co to the end of the road?
Su Yuxuan's face was filled with resentnt and despair. If there were no other way, she would make sure that Old Monster Wang didn't have it easy. She would self-destruct in the final mont.
Even if she couldn't kill Old Monster Wang, she knew he didn't have many years left to live. Where would he find another Golden Core cultivator with a blood spiritual root?
Thus, Old Monster Wang was as good as dead. As for her brother's soul, Su Yuxuan couldn't help but smile coldly. If she didn't show how much she valued her brother, How could Old Monster Wang think she could be controlled?
...
Still, Su Yuxuan wasn't ready to give up. She made one last effort. She looked at Ye Chen with a pitiful expression, hoping he would change his mind. She occasionally let out a suppressed groan as her heart continued to be devoured by the talisman. The furrowed brows on her face made her look even more pitiful.
At first, Ye Chen ignored her completely. But after a long while, he finally couldn't take it anymore. He turned his head and sighed, speaking softly, "You... Do you really want my heart that badly?"
