Chapter 239 - 238: Soul Stealing Realm
Hearing such a sincere and heartfelt love confession, even if a man's heart was completely made of stone and sealed in cement, he would still be moved. Yun Wuji had always treated Xuanyin's "split personality" as Chi Wuyao and had never treated her any worse than Xuanyin herself.
At this moment, he wanted to hold her tightly, kiss her plump lips, and tell her that he loved her just as much as she loved him, to officially make her his woman. But unfortunately, that wasn't possible right now.
He did love her. This wasn't just empty words or lust for her body. After spending more than half a year together, just as Xuanyin and Chi Wuyao fell in love with him, he fell for them too. And as they practiced the Devil Emperor's Internal Classic together, their feelings only grew stronger.
Just like how any of his women would do everything for him, he was also willing to give up anything for them.
He really wanted to tell her that he didn't blame her, and that he was willing to stand by her and try to earn Xuanyin's forgiveness. But that wasn't possible right now. If he did anything like that, it would go against everything he had said and done up until this point. How could someone who had just 'learned' the truth suddenly fall for the very person who had spied on Xuanyin for ten thousand years?
Logically, it would already be a miracle if he didn't hate her.
He also couldn't tell her that he had known all of this from the very beginning, because there was no way to explain why he hadn't said anything earlier. The excuse of 'deduction' could only be used once. And as for the truth, that he had transmigrated into this world, that was a secret he would never share with anyone.
It was something he would take to his grave. Absolutely no one could ever know.
After sorting out his thoughts, Yun Wuji raised his hands, gripped Chi Wuyao's shoulders, and gently pushed himself away from her. He took a step back and stared at her in silence.
"Wuji..." Chi Wuyao muttered. She moved her hands behind her back and clenched them nervously. With her soul power, she could clearly sense the turmoil in his heart; his soul fluctuations were extremely chaotic.
It felt like he was struggling to accept everything.
