In the exquisitely designed pavilion towering hundreds of meters high, Lin Qianxuan and Gongsun Yue strolled leisurely.

“Young Master, thank you,” Gongsun Yue said.

“I promised Yue’Er before that I would definitely bring Miss Ying back,” Lin Qianxuan replied.

“But I don’t remember,” Gongsun Yue shook her head.

She felt that this was a kind of cruelty to Lin Qianxuan.

They had clearly gone through so much together, yet in the end, only he remembered, while she knew nothing.

“It’s enough that I remember,” Lin Qianxuan smiled and said, “though even I can’t remember clearly.”

Even the memories began to blur, how many more times could such repeated experiences occur?

Gongsun Yue was not sure, but she felt it must have been a complexity she couldn’t imagine.

“Young Master, is this the last time?” Gongsun Yue asked.

“Yes, if we fail, it’s over,” Lin Qianxuan nodded.

By now, the two had reached the top of the pavilion.

Here was an observation deck, able to see most of Wudu’s scenery, the sky now gray, yet still, many signs shimmered with colorful light.

Lin Qianxuan stretched out his hand, a stream of water swept away the surrounding dust, and he leisurely sat on the chair here.

“Young Master, is there anything I can do to help you?” Gongsun Yue sat beside Lin Qianxuan and asked.

Lin Qianxuan looked at Gongsun Yue, her fate connection was over ninety percent, it could be said that everything was just a layer of window paper away now.

But this layer of window paper was the hardest to break through.

Especially since he had already strategized with Gongsun Ying beforehand.

“Yue’Er, you do have something that can help me,” Lin Qianxuan nodded.

“What is it?” Gongsun Yue asked.

“My ability is derived from both you and Miss Ying, but it’s not complete,” Lin Qianxuan said, “To fully gain this ability, even enhance it, requires mutual trust, sincere affection, and the courage to wholeheartedly entrust everything, this, Miss Ying has already done. That’s why I was able to bring her back.”

“But… you already have my sister, and you originally had a lover…” Gongsun Yue lowered her head.

Her emotions were complex, she didn’t quite understand what she was feeling herself.

“Yes, so I don’t want to trouble you,” Lin Qianxuan said, “But I can promise, at least… at least when we are together, there won’t be anyone else in my heart.”

Actually, the moment he spoke those words, the success of his strategy was predetermined.

In the face of greater good, Gongsun Yue was inclined to sacrifice herself.

Now, Lin Qianxuan carried a slight hint of baseness.

But in such complex emotional relationships, someone always had to be the bad guy.

If someone had to be scorned, he thought it might as well be him.

Morality’s bottom line had long been trampled by him.

“Do you know what I will choose?” Gongsun Yue suddenly asked.

Lin Qianxuan paused, then nodded, “Yes.”

“One last question, has this happened before?” Gongsun Yue asked, her hollow eyes fixed on Lin Qianxuan.

Lin Qianxuan awkwardly touched his nose and said, “Probably a few times…”

Although in reality, it was the first time, but in the game from the moment he embarked on the dark path strategy, each time he succeeded in capturing her.

Gongsun Yue understood, so from the beginning, was she seen through in every way?

“Young Master,” Gongsun Yue spoke.

Lin Qianxuan looked at her, she was clearly prepared, with a slight smile on her cheeks at this moment.

“Yue’Er,” Lin Qianxuan reached out, took Gongsun Yue’s hand, and said softly, “Although it’s been repeated many times, I am still sorry that I can’t offer you my complete emotions.”

“Did you say the same to my sister?” Gongsun Yue asked.

“At times like this, please don’t say such things, alright? It really ruins the mood!” Lin Qianxuan said helplessly.

“Did I ask this before?” Gongsun Yue asked again.

“Didn’t notice…” Lin Qianxuan said, “I was focused on something else.”

“What was it?”

Gongsun Yue was puzzled.

The mist had enveloped everything around, under Lin Qianxuan’s control, it was gentle and soft as he gently laid Gongsun Yue down, saying, “The moonlight.”

“With the haze covering, there is no moon,” Gongsun Yue retorted.

Her cheeks were flushed, her body trembled slightly, struggling to maintain rational emotions now.

“You are my white moonlight.”

Lin Qianxuan said a rare cheesy line.

How could I put it?

It felt pretty good.

Lines like these, when the goodwill meter isn’t enough, saying them feels disgusting.

When the goodwill meter is enough, it becomes humorous and romantic.

Just as Gongsun Yue was about to speak, Lin Qianxuan had already tasted her essence.

Gongsun Yue’s body stiffened at first, but then slowly relaxed, allowing Lin Qianxuan’s actions.

Love?

Lin Qianxuan thought that the emotions between the two didn’t qualify as that.

Even he did not understand what love truly was.

Upon serious analysis, he would think it was a combination of desire and responsibility.

Desire came first, then responsibility followed.

Combined together, they became feelings.

And now, he was exercising desire.

Slowly untying Gongsun Yue’s garments, Lin Qianxuan was no longer as awkward as he was at the start of his strategy.

He had gone through the undressing scenes many times, he could do it with his eyes closed.

Seeing Lin Qianxuan’s skilled hands, Gongsun Yue’s feelings were complex. It was clearly her first time, yet Lin Qianxuan was so adept.

The most speechless part was, she felt that Lin Qianxuan seemed to be gaining proficiency on her.

“Please, my lord, take pity…”

“Maybe I’ll be saying that to you later.” Lin Qianxuan joked.

Immediately, the most natural harmony of life unfolded between heaven and earth.

Unlike the dragon maiden, Gongsun Yue’s body was human, except for her eyes.

No scales, nor so fierce and powerful.

Her face showed a slight pain, but she did not cry out loud; she had always been restrained, even at such a moment.

Lin Qianxuan silently slowed down the pace, allowing her to adjust.

Although he benefited from the Dragon Bloodline, giving him extraordinary strength and talent, Gongsun Yue was also a Refining God Martial Artist, and her cultivation was at the mid-stage Divine Manifestation.

Soon, she adapted.

Then she began to feel dissatisfied.

Dissatisfied with Lin Qianxuan having another lover, dissatisfied with Lin Qianxuan coercing her so despicably, dissatisfied with Lin Qianxuan’s deceit towards her sister.

How can one not be selfish?

Especially in matters of emotion, many times, complex emotional relationships are merely a product of coincidences and compromises from all sides.

Someone will always feel wronged.

Gongsun Yue bit hard on Lin Qianxuan’s shoulder but couldn’t break his defense.

She grew angrier.

So she pushed Lin Qianxuan down.

Now it was the Dragon Knight’s turn.

Although Lin Qianxuan had expected this, he was still a bit surprised by her wildness.

But everyone has some small contradictions, and Gongsun Yue was relatively consistent inside and out.

The Dragon Knight seemed eager to make Lin Qianxuan suffer, or perhaps she wanted to thoroughly enjoy the moment of possession, so she fought fiercely.

Lin Qianxuan could sense those emotions.

Perhaps it was with thoughts of final indulgence, or perhaps she wanted to release all the resentment and negativity in her heart.

The last bits of blue Misty Qi connected with him, forming into a Sound Talisman.

The power named belief, with an effect: “Efficiency of Divine Energy refining artifacts increased by 50%.”

Three Sound Talismans intertwined, entangling deep in his consciousness, transforming into a special profound Talisman pattern, ultimately merging completely with Lin Qianxuan.

In a mysterious moment, Lin Qianxuan’s eyes underwent new changes, and his Divine Energy took on new characteristics, enabling him to drive the Divine Machine with ten times its usual potency.

This amplification was unrelated to the Divine Machine itself.

As long as it was with Lin Qianxuan and activated by his Divine Energy, it could unleash strength far beyond its limits.

But before he could think more, a memory began replaying in front of his eyes.

—————–

Battle, failure, battle, failure….

Time and again witnessing the Rebel Army’s failures, she was powerless, silently handing Spiritual Liquid to the wounded soldiers and repairing the Divine Machine.

Her foster father died in battle; she was in immense pain, tears flowing from her eyes—it was unbearable.

“Ah Ying…I’m about to become corrupted, please kill me, do not let me die as a Muddy Spirit…”

She looked at her sister incredulously.

No, don’t do it!!

Sister, you’ve already endured so much…

But her sister wiped her tears and then hardened her heart, stabbing the blade into their foster father’s chest.

She saw her sister’s body trembling.

She could feel the pain, much more than the pain she had experienced.

Her heart felt like being twisted by a knife, indescribable pain, even her breath halted.

Her sister had already killed their parents by her own hand, and now again killed their foster father; those hands that had slain countless Muddy Spirits were now stained with the blood of a dearest relative, how cruel was this for her sister?

Yet her sister quickly regained her strength, taking over as the leader of the Muddy Spirit Resistance Army.

That night, her sister tossed and turned, arriving at the Martial Arts Arena to practice.

This time, she fought even harder than before, disregarding the damage to her Divine Energy, unleashing her Divine Martial.

Gongsun Yue watched silently, feeling a bit frustrated at her own helplessness.

If only I could be a bit stronger, bear some of the burden for my sister.

The battles resumed, yet they continued losing ground; her sister chose to replace her Divine Strategy Limbs, gaining more strength, but the Rebel Army still couldn’t reverse the defeat.

They retreated to Zhang City by the sea, one of their foster father’s power bases, and the only place yet untouched by the corrupt air.

The foster father was buried by her sister here; at his tombstone, her sister’s gaze was firm.

“Foster father, I will certainly lead everyone to end this disaster!”

Gongsun Yue watched her sister, believing her sister would accomplish everything.

Yet in her heart, she hoped that some hero would suddenly appear to share her sister’s burden, to save everyone…

If such a person appeared, she would do anything.

….

….

Gongsun Ying leaned against the wall, looking distantly at the misty high towers, lost in thought.

“Young Master Lin is an honest gentleman, surely he won’t make Yue’Er feel troubled,” Gongsun Ying murmured.

She wasn’t as concerned about her heart’s desire being taken by her sister.

She had never dared to hope for emotional support, and the current situation was already quite good.

She dared not hope for more.

In her humility, she even thought that in the future, when Young Master Lin and Yue’Er married, as long as he occasionally spent a moment with her, she would be content.

…..

Meanwhile, Gongsun Yue, exhausted from struggling, lay quietly on Lin Qianxuan, enjoying the moment of warmth.

After a while, Lin Qianxuan summoned a stream of water, washing away the traces, and they both dressed again, stepping out from the lofty building.

Lin Qianxuan supported Gongsun Yue, her steps a bit unsteady, gazing at the pillar of foul air in the distance, murmuring in his heart, “It’s time to end all of this!”
