Chapter 1345 - 360: Yuchi: I Just Want to Be a Hero Saving the Beauty Once!
"No matter what, they will leave us a way out, otherwise if they really push us too far... even a cornered rabbit can bite, let alone us. If we are forced to the brink, why fear a mutual destruction? After all, such situations can be even more cruel than death."
Yuan Xuan took a sip of tea, her voice a bit hoarse from saying so much just now.
Yuchi watched her drink the tea and replied to her, "Don’t worry, trust me. The choice you made today will definitely not be a problem."
"I can’t say it’s the most correct choice you’ve made in your life, that might be a bit much. But for your future cultivation, becoming my disciple shouldn’t be an issue. In the future, you’ll have many other senior and junior sisters. By then, you won’t need to worry about other things and can gradually improve your cultivation. It’s going to be very beneficial for you."
"Let’s finish this last of the tea leaves now; let’s not waste it. After we’re done, we can go to the sect. I believe you will like the sect. I believe we will get along very well in the future, and I strongly believe you can climb out of this temporary low point in life."
"You are beautiful."
Yuan Xuan: "..."
Saying cheesy lines all of a sudden?... caught me off guard... Yuan Xuan blushed.
However, looking at the young man before her again, with a comforting smile in his eyes, Yuan Xuan suddenly felt she was right in standing out!
Why must I always have others protect me? Why can’t I protect others?
Why can’t I stand in front of others at critical moments?
Instead of shivering and trembling behind others and then crying, talking about the world’s injustices, what’s the point?
Even if I fall today, I will still rise tomorrow.
But that doesn’t hinder my courage.
Walking forward with tears is more real than moving ahead with a smile, that’s the world, my friend.
The world is never merciful or lenient.
Yuchi, seeing her in such reflection, casually added, "So, about what you said earlier about repaying with your life, does that still stand?"
Yuan Xuan: "..."
Her blushing cheeks finally shed the iceberg beauty’s distant coldness, now breaking into a smile just as Yuchi had anticipated long ago. Such a smile could be described as earth-shattering, astonishing the world, extraordinary, and incredibly graceful and beautiful.
"We’ll see."
She smiled gently.
...
Bu Huoran had just returned to the mansion, having just disembarked from the flying shuttle. She looked somewhat exhausted. After coming home, the first thing she did was remove her belt, as it can be quite hurtful for women, but there’s no choice; some women want to use it but can’t.
After taking it off, she lazily soaked in the bathtub. The world’s delicacies can remove many worries, and a pool of warm water can solve many things.
"This time, nothing happened midway, and I quickly returned from Jiangnan to Cuncha City. Now that I’m back, there are still some things I need to do."
"Once I finish these things, I can go find him. I need to build Jiangnan to be more stable; it looks rather shabby now."
"Meanwhile, he still looks as reliable as ever."
The image of the young man in black appeared in her mind. When she first met him, he was just a lad, but now, over the past year or two, without knowing when it started, he has turned into the semblance of a young man in black. This feeling is quite good, slightly less childlike than before, but much more mature.
No wonder Tingyue likes him. If I had met him when I was young, I’d certainly be smitten too.
Bu Tingyue knocked on the door, "Mom, are you back?"
She just heard her mom was back, and this time she had been gone for quite a while and left quite hastily; she had no idea what her mom was doing until now. Now it’s already early January, nearly a month to New Year’s, so she’s very curious and also for another reason, she rushed over to see if her mom was indeed there.
Bu Huoran helplessly listened to the voice outside the door, thinking she just got back, just about to relax, and now you’re all here right away? Can’t I get a little space, can’t I relax a bit? With no choice, she laughed and said, "Guess whether I’m back or not?"
After saying that, she covered the pool’s clear water with some petals, helping later producers save some space since full censorship is a hassle. While it’s easier for the producers, the camera operator won’t get a chicken leg tonight.
