"I really didn’t expect him to actually go to the underworld to ask about you." Long Yubei asked with a smile that was not quite a smile, "Could it be that he has fallen for you?"
"This kind of joke is not funny at all. If you liked someone, would you do that with another woman in front of her?"
"I wouldn’t, but that doesn’t mean others wouldn’t. For some, making the other party jealous is quite possible."
"How could that be? One day when I was bored, I said what if I fell in love with him, he said outsiders can love her, but anyone under his watch falling for him has only one path - death, absolutely impossible. His visit to the underworld to ask after me was just to humiliate me in person, nothing else. I despise him, every day he acts like a grandpa, having me wash his feet and massage him, occasionally having his sister drink my blood. Both siblings are inhuman, no wonder they belong to the Demon World, both are devils." Gu Lili said with a cold laugh.
Long Yubei hugged her, "I really want to seek justice for you."
"Don’t." Gu Lili did not want Rong Fei to interfere with her life anymore, "Let’s not talk about this anymore. If I had as much mana and cultivation as you, I wouldn’t swallow my pride as I do now, but without cultivation, I can’t even protect myself, let alone my child. He will never know Ding Xiang is me. I just want to live a peaceful life now, I’ve been too tired lately. By the way, did Lin Yueer mention anything about the whereabouts of the Huiling Sword?"
"So where shall we look for the Huiling Sword?"
"Don’t worry, we will find it."
"And also..." she suddenly thought of a question, "Your original self has lived for so many years, exactly how many women have you slept with?"
"I don’t believe it, living that long, being a man, how is that possible?"
He said softly, "Really none, I swear to the heavens, my words are true, if not, then I shall..."
He was interrupted by Gu Lili before finishing, "Even swearing now..."
"Aren’t you doubting me?"
"Actually, even if there were others, it wouldn’t matter now."
"I really haven’t," he emphasized, "really none."
"Got it, you haven’t." Her face buried in his chest, her leg pressing on his, "How is Su Changzhi doing?"
"Knowing you died, I never laughed again." Long Yubei kissed her forehead, "Lili, really don’t leave me anymore, I’m willing to sacrifice everything to protect you, I can give up anything, but as long as you are by my side, that’s enough."
"You don’t even want the children?"
"You are more important than the children."
"In my eyes, the children are more important than you," Gu Lili said, "They are my life."
"Then what am I to you? Hm?" he pressed, "What am I?"
"To hear that I’m half your life would make me ecstatic." Latest content publıshed on novel⸺fire.net
"I said I don’t know, stop asking." She didn’t want to answer.
Long Yubei chuckled with indulgence, "Alright, I’ll stop asking."
The wind started outside, and Gu Lili got down from the bed, opened the balcony door, and walked out, with Long Yubei following closely.
Watching her stand there, her hair blowing in the wind, he walked up and embraced her.
The two of them, dressed in black and white bathrobes respectively, felt the cool breeze on their faces which was not too cold, but rather refreshingly sobering.
"It’s wonderful," Gu Lili admired everything before her, "Freedom is wonderful."
