Lingsu’s heart couldn’t help but race at Feng Wuchen’s words. She had always thought that the men in the world were all profit-driven and untrustworthy, not worth her attention. Plus, her aunt had also died over a man, which solidified her resolve to pursue cultivation and not consider matters of love and relationships.
But at this moment, she suddenly understood why her aunt would rather die than leave the Mortal World, and stay by that man’s side.
No wonder people say love is a poison, something to be avoided.
This heart-stirring feeling, how many in the world could actually refuse it?
As for whether Feng Wuchen’s words were true, Lingsu had not an ounce of doubt.
Because Feng Wuchen’s eyes were just too sincere, and coupled with his gentle and refined demeanor, he appeared completely non-threatening, so Lingsu really did not feel he would deceive her.
Seeing Feng Wuchen’s slightly reddened face, Lingsu suppressed the odd feeling in her heart and smiled at him.
"I’m not as good as you say," Lingsu’s voice unconsciously softened a bit.
Her gaze towards Feng Wuchen also changed from initial indifference and calmness to holding a glimmer of light.
Feng Wuchen immediately said more earnestly: "In my heart, you are the best woman, Susu, you must not belittle yourself."
Saying this, his gaze grew even more tender and affectionate as he looked at Lingsu, as if he could see no one else but her.
And Lingsu’s cheeks also grew a little warm from being gazed at in such a manner.
"Alright, I understand your feelings," Lingsu nodded.
But thinking of the family rules, she frowned and said: "However, my family’s rules are strict, I’m afraid I can’t be with you for now."
Though there are signs of Star Power revival, that day hasn’t arrived yet.
If she were to be with Feng Wuchen now, not to mention her father, the elders would never agree. The source of thɪs content is novel(ꜰ)ire.net
Not only that, she might even face severe punishment, a loss outweighing the gain.
But if she waited until after the Star Power revived, and Feng Wuchen could cultivate, it would be different.
By then, if he became a cultivator and possibly the emperor, the elders likely wouldn’t oppose their union.
Feng Wuchen felt a chill in his heart upon hearing Lingsu’s words.
But hearing her say they couldn’t be together for now, he quickly shook his head and said with great understanding: "You don’t have to agree to me now, nor should you feel any burden, I just can’t control my feelings and wanted you to know!"
"Besides, you are a cultivator, and though I’m a Prince, in the end, I’m just an ordinary person... The gap between us is inherently vast, it’s only natural for your elders to not allow us to be together."
With that, he showed a look of dim self-deprecation.
Seeing this, Lingsu felt even softer-hearted.
"Don’t worry, soon the Star Power will recover, by then you will be able to cultivate, I’m sure your aptitude won’t be poor, and once the elders know, they will definitely not stand in our way," Lingsu quickly comforted.
"Rest assured, Susu, for you, I will also strive to cultivate by then," Feng Wuchen said solemnly with a clenched fist.
"Hmm, I believe in you," Lingsu was even more moved.
At this time, Bai Susu was still unaware that the aloof Lingsu in the original storyline was now being swayed by Feng Wuchen’s sweet words.
