Chapter 226 - 225: Upgraded Darkness
On the way, Hei Xiaolian's voice echoed from the Sky Poison Pearl, right by his ear. "Why didn't you just take her down right here? I can tell she loves you, too."
"It's not that easy. If I confessed now, she'd definitely turn me down and try to keep her distance afterward. That'd only make things worse," Yun Wuji replied calmly. "What I did was show her how I feel, without saying it outright. Now she knows I feel the same, and she doesn't have to struggle with it anymore."
"So what, you're just gonna keep playing this vague, ambiguous game? Like some high schoolers in a trashy rom-com?" Hei Xiaolian couldn't make sense of it. Normally, Yun Wuji always had a way to deal with these things. Why was he stuck this time?
"The thing holding Bingyun back is simple, I'm her sister's man," Yun Wuji tilted his head and glanced at Mu Bingyun's beautiful face before replying, "But that's actually the easiest part to deal with."
"Easy?" Hei Xiaolian was stunned. How the hell was that easy? She'd read enough novels to know it usually took the protagonist at least a thousand Chapters to take down their sister-in-law.
"Of course it's easy. I don't even need to do anything. I just have to tell Xuanyin, and she'll handle the rest," Yun Wuji chuckled. "Since Bingyun's only concern is her sister's opinion, I'll just have Xuanyin push her straight into my arms."
"Fuck!" Hei Xiaolian was stunned for a moment before she cursed out loud. "You're not even pretending to play fair! But seriously, will Mu Xuanyin actually do that?"
"Xuanyin spoils me the most. As long as I want something, she'll move heaven and earth to give it to me," Yun Wuji replied with a confident grin.
"That... kinda sounds like you're being kept by a rich and powerful woman," Hei Xiaolian gave him a weird look. How could a man say that so proudly?
"Yeah? So what? Mooching off women is a skill," Yun Wuji said without shame.
"..." Hei Xiaolian stared blankly. Now that she thought about it, since when did either of them care about morals? Screw it. Then something hit her. "Wait... isn't this technically manipulation?"
