Chapter 248 - 247: You Only Have One Year Left
Love is, and has always been, unreasonable and unpredictable, something that cannot be judged by logic alone. Women like Mu Xuanyin and Chi Wuyao were two individuals who had never believed there existed a man worthy of them, let alone one capable of pulling their heartstrings.
Not even the most outstanding man in the million-year history of the God Realm, the Dragon Monarch.
But as if by a stroke of fate, both of them fell for the same man, at the same time, and in the same manner.
A ripple flickered in Mu Xuanyin's eyes. She stared deeply into Chi Wuyao's eyes, which were just a few inches away, as if trying to find any trace of falsehood or hidden meaning within them.
"Even if what you claim is true, do you dare to say that you didn't have some ulterior motives to use Wuji to break this giant prison of the Northern Divine Region?" Mu Xuanyin took two steps back to put distance between them and spoke in a cold tone.
"Although this is indeed a good and logical idea, I truly never considered using him. Perhaps, before I fell for Wuji, I did entertain this thought, but that was in the past," Chi Wuyao glanced behind her in the direction of the Northern Divine Region and said slowly. Then, she turned back to Mu Xuanyin and added firmly, "If Wuji were even willing to destroy the Northern Divine Region, I would be the first to do so."
In the past, her ultimate goal and ambition had been to unify the Northern Divine Region and lead everyone to break free from their eternal cage. She aimed to challenge the three other Divine Regions and then rule the entire Primal Chaos. But now, her heart and mind were consumed solely by Yun Wuji. If he desired to become an Emperor, she would do her utmost to assist him in ruling this world. If he wished to become a calamity, she would destroy this world for him without hesitation.
"Alright, I will believe you for now," Mu Xuanyin said. This time, she didn't belittle or openly disbelieve her. She nodded calmly, though whether she truly believed Chi Wuyao's words remained unknown. Then, her expression grew colder. "Wuji said that he would only give you a chance after you earned my forgiveness, right?"
If anyone were to hear this, including her closest confidantes, the witches, they would be utterly shocked and frightened! The Devil Queen, the woman who had stepped over countless corpses, was going to such lengths for a man!
"Yes," Chi Wuyao replied calmly, with no hint of shame or embarrassment in her voice.
"Very well, since you said that you love him so much, then prove it," Mu Xuanyin nodded in understanding before speaking coldly. Chi Wuyao had been subtly trying to divert the conversation from the fact that she had planted part of her soul in Mu Xuanyin and used it to spy on her for ten thousand years, redirecting the conversation toward Yun Wuji instead. Naturally, Mu Xuanyin saw through her plan easily, but even so, she didn't expose it and chose to play along.
