Chapter 599.2. Xu Tianran's Decision
Ye Xishui suddenly turned around and stared coldly at Long Xiaoyao. “Mu En asked me the same question back then. Do you want to answer on my behalf?”
Long Xiaoyao’s body started to shudder vigorously. One could see the sadness in his eyes.
After seeing how Long Xiaoyao had reacted to her words, Yi Xishui sighed and said, “Forget about it, Xiaoyao. I am in the wrong. I should not have mentioned that. At the end of the day, you have spent more than a hundred years with me even if you were wrong back then. This is something Mu En and Zhongli Wu’s father would never be able to do. I know you are the one who loves me the most. You must have struggled a lot and blamed yourself all these years. Do you know I have long wanted to tell you that I have forgiven you? But I am afraid that once I say that, you will leave me. And when that happens, I will no longer have someone I can trust with my heart.”
The pain in Long Xiaoyao’s eyes had disappeared. Tears started to well up in his eyes instead.
Ye Xishui gently leaned on his body and allowed herself to enter his embrace. “Now, I have really forgiven you. You don’t have to feel bad about that incident anymore. You no longer owe me anything after all that you have done for all these years. Now, you can rest assured and leave. Do what you have always wanted to do. Don’t let me burden you.”
Long Xiaoyao gave her a bitter smile and asked, “You have sensed that something bad is about to happen, right?”
Ye Xishui’s body froze.
Long Xiaoyao sighed and said, “To be honest, it’s been a while since you last threatened me with that. However, I have already gotten used to being by your side. Do you know what I’m trying to say? Even though I won’t help you with your wrongdoings, I have always protected you and stood by your side. Hence, I am partially at fault for those things you have done. We are already on the same boat. Over the course of these hundred years, I have struggled a lot whenever I saw you kill and nurture your evil soul masters. However, I was willing to bear with the pain and conflict in my heart to stay by your side. This is because my love for you outweighs everything else. I am willing to continue to stay by your side even if I can’t stop you from doing what’s wrong. However, if karma does strike back at you one day, I am willing to take it on with you.”
Tears started to stream from Ye Xishui’s eyes. She used her fists to hit Long Xiaoyao’s chest repeatedly.
