Chapter 161 Never give up
No wonder he's so withdrawn. No one loved him growing up; how could he know how to love? It's already a miracle he didn't turn out badly!
She developed empathy for him; they were actually quite similar people, both lone wolves living in the world.
"My cultivation is all based on my own figuring things out, so sometimes it doesn't quite conform to common sense," Mingyuan explained regarding the unusually high level of martial arts he occasionally displayed.
As soon as he finished speaking, a pair of slender arms embraced him.
His body suddenly stiffened, and he slowly turned his head.
Although the girl still had the face of an old woman, her eyes were those of a lively young girl. She rested her chin on his shoulder, still sitting on the tree branch, but turned her upper body around and wrapped her arms around him.
Although the boy was very thin, he had a large frame. Bai Jiyue's arms could not fully encircle him, so her hand rested on his other side of his waist.
For Bai Jiyue, this hug is a completely selfless hug of love, the kind that doesn't involve romantic feelings between men and women.
But Mingyuan felt as if all the blood in his body was flowing backwards, rushing to his brain.
Especially the place where her little hands were placed, it felt as if there was a piece of red-hot charcoal there, burning his throat so dry and unbearable.
But he couldn't bear to pull her hand away, so he could only remain in this state of unbearable yet pleasurable infatuation.
“Mingyuan, you’re not alone anymore. You have me as your friend, and I will never abandon you,” Bai Jiyue said.
She was surprised after she finished speaking.
She's not the type to express her emotions like this. What's wrong with me? How could I say these things to him?
They've stayed together through thick and thin, it's like they're confessing their love.
Just as I was feeling awkward, I suddenly heard his slightly hoarse voice above me: "You said it, you would never leave me."
Bai Jiyue looked up at him and saw that his eyes were bright, like stars in the sky.
That expectant gaze left her speechless except for nodding.
She nodded, several times.
Mingyuan's eyes darkened, and his voice became even deeper: "What if you abandon me?"
Bai Jiyue pursed her lips.
Why did she feel like he was treating her like a pitiful kitten when he said that?
“No,” she smiled at him, “unless you do something to hurt me.”
"Of course I wouldn't hurt you." He paused, then insisted, "But what if?"
"Then punish me however you like."
He raised a finger and touched her forehead very seriously: "You must remember what you said."
“Of course,” Bai Jiyue replied.
If they successfully help Prince Qing ascend the throne this time, they will be able to settle down in the capital and rise to prominence, so there will be no question of abandoning him.
If they fail this time, he will follow her to the ends of the earth. He is willing to risk his future to help her, and she would never betray him even if it meant her own death.
Seeing the determination in her eyes when she answered him, Mingyuan smiled and felt a sense of peace and joy, an experience he had never had since becoming the Demon Lord.
He used to think that emotions were the most useless thing, that they would only make you less capable. Now he suddenly realized that emotions could make people so happy.
No wonder that for thousands of years, countless races have made foolish mistakes in pursuit of love.
But he is the Demon Lord. He can enjoy the beauty of emotions, but he would never do anything as foolish as those people!
He didn't realize when he thought this way that he had already made countless foolish mistakes in pursuit of that feeling, and he never imagined that he would only become more foolish in the future.
