Chapter 999: Complex
Yunxiu's sobs gradually faded away.
She was still resting on Jiang Yantian's shoulder, held in his arms.
Her delicate body trembled slightly.
It was full of reproach.
"Alright, you've cried and told your story."
"Those losses you've suffered won't be recovered, so just think of them as an encounter that spans endless years."
Jiang Yantian slowly moved his shoulder away and cupped Yunxiu's pretty face in his hands.
"If I had known this would happen, I would have just become your concubine back then, and none of this would have happened."
"At the very least, you can enjoy yourself for tens of millions of years. Even if a world-ending war breaks out, you will not die."
"Why have we been trapped in this broken ring for so long!"
Yunxiu's face was being held up by him, so she could only look at him.
That face, so captivating it could kill, was indeed excessively handsome.
But I still feel a little sad.
"If I could do it all over again, I still wouldn't want to be your concubine!" Yunxiu said resolutely.
Yunxiu's voice was resolute and left no room for argument.
The fingertips turned slightly white from excessive force.
She clutched the fabric of her clothes, which was soaked with spring water, tightly to her chest.
The fabric clung to her skin, outlining her slender shoulders, but without a trace of allure.
It only revealed a stubbornness of going all in.
How could she willingly become the Demon Emperor's concubine, a caged bird deprived of its freedom?
Even if the cage was personally crafted by the Undying Demon Emperor, and even if he bestowed upon her a favor that others could only dream of, she was still unwilling.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yantian chuckled softly.
The voice brushed past Yunxiu's ear, making her inexplicably feel a little uneasy.
He raised his hand, his fingertips gently brushing against her hair, which was wet with spring water.
"And now?" His voice was low, carrying a subtle, almost imperceptible seduction.
The smile in his eyes deepened.
"I don't want to!"
She remained resolute and decisive, without the slightest hesitation, as if she had used all her strength.
"Pull it down!"
Jiang Yantian's face instantly darkened, and his previous gentleness vanished.
Instead, there was an almost violent restlessness.
He suddenly raised his hand, and an irresistible force pushed Yunxiu away.
The movements were somewhat rough, without the slightest hesitation.
Caught off guard, Yunxiu felt a tightness in her chest.
The body fell backward uncontrollably.
"puff"
He collapsed into the spiritual spring with a thud.
Her mind was buzzing, completely blank.
Only Jiang Yantian's face, which had suddenly turned cold, remained in her mind, appearing repeatedly.
The emotions of the Undying Demon Emperor are indeed the most unstable thing in the world.
He was just holding her, gently wiping the water droplets from her hair.
He coaxed her gently.
In the blink of an eye, they turned their backs on me because of a single refusal.
Yunxiu sat in the water, staring blankly as Jiang Yantian rose from the spiritual spring.
Water droplets slid down his flawlessly perfect figure.
It outlines smooth and powerful muscle lines.
Every inch is like a masterpiece, with a wild and domineering beauty.
He stood naked in the water.
Her long, wet silver hair cascaded over her shoulders, with water droplets dripping from the ends.
It hit the water's surface, creating tiny ripples.
Those eyes fell heavily on her, devoid of any warmth.
It's like looking at an insignificant object.
This made Yunxiu feel inexplicably uneasy.
She had considered that her resolute refusal might anger him.
Jiang Yantian is an immortal demon emperor who roams the nine heavens and ten earths, and all the myriad worlds, inspiring fear in all who hear of him.
He was a ruthless and decisive overlord.
Although... I can be a little unserious at times.
But basically, no one has ever dared to refuse his requests time and time again.
No one dared to be so presumptuous in front of him.
Yunxiu's fingertips trembled slightly, and a nameless fear welled up in her heart.
With Jiang Yantian's strength, if he really wanted to do something to her, she would have no chance to resist.
It's as simple as crushing an ant.
But he only pushed her away; he didn't lay a hand on her.
This surprised her somewhat.
Was it her rejection that really bothered him so much?
Or perhaps he simply felt that forcing was pointless, so he was too lazy to do it?
Yunxiu sat in the water, her thoughts in utter chaos.
My chest felt like it was blocked by something, and I felt a little panicked.
Jiang Yantian frowned as he looked at her distraught appearance.
He curled his lip, his tone full of impatience and sarcasm.
"You really don't know what's good for you. If you don't want to, then forget it!"
"I'm too lazy to waste my time with you here."
"If I hadn't wanted to avoid frightening you and instead resorted to force, do you think you'd still be standing here refusing me?"
His words were like a cold dagger, piercing Yunxiu's heart.
Yes, he is the Undying Demon Emperor; there is nothing he cannot obtain if he desires it.
The reason he didn't force her was probably because he was just being accommodating.
"If you still disagree when I come here next time, I'll take you out!"
"Leave on your own."
Jiang Yantian paused, his tone carrying an undeniable air of authority.
"It's uncomfortable to have it around."
Yunxiu suddenly paused.
It's uncomfortable to have it around.
These seven words struck Yunxiu's heart like a heavy hammer.
After saying this, Jiang Yantian didn't look at her again and turned to walk to the shore.
A sudden gust of wind swept past him, and the black robe seemed to come alive, instantly enveloping his body.
To conceal his perfect physique.
He straightened the collar of his robe, his movements swift and decisive, without the slightest hesitation.
Without stopping, he headed straight for the exit of the ring space.
The figure quickly disappeared into the white mist.
Yunxiu only breathed a sigh of relief after Jiang Yantian's figure had completely disappeared.
His tense body collapsed instantly, and he leaned helplessly against the stone wall of the spiritual spring.
The stone wall had a slightly cool touch.
The dampness seeped through her clothes and onto her skin, making her slightly more alert.
She looked down at herself and realized that she had somehow transformed from a spirit into a physical being.
Those fair, jade-like legs have already appeared.
The person no longer felt so illusory.
“He…” Yunxiu murmured, looking at her reflection.
My reflection showed me with a pale face and disheveled hair.
His eyes were filled with despair and disillusionment.
Where is even a trace of its former glory?
She reached out and gently touched the reflection in the water, her fingertips gliding across the surface.
It stirred up tiny ripples.
The reflection also became blurry and indistinct.
The fog enveloped her figure, making her appear exceptionally lonely.
She didn't know when Jiang Yantian would come again.
I don't know if I'll still be able to act the same way when he comes again next time.
Firmly reject him.
If she really refuses, will he really let her go?
If he lets me go, where should I go?
Everything has changed; the home of yesteryear is no more.
Everything she knew was now in the past.
For some reason, confusion and loss, like a giant net, tightly wrapped around Yunxiu.
It took her breath away.
She raised her head and looked in the direction Jiang Yantian had left, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
