"Don't you believe me?"
Ye Chen's cold demeanor left Zi Han momentarily stunned.
Ye Chen had always greeted her with a smile and refined the Immortal Elixir for her—when had he ever been so indifferent?
"How can I believe you?" Ye Chen said. "Earlier, I confessed my love to you, but what did you do?"
The existence of that mysterious figure greatly displeased Ye Chen—how could he show her kindness?
"I…" Zi Han's heart tightened, leaving her somewhat at a loss.
When Ye Chen confessed to her, not only did Zi Han not accept it, but she even wanted to kill him... because she was thinking of the mysterious figure, her heart was filled with rejection towards Ye Chen.
But those were things of the past; she had already let go. Why couldn't Ye Chen let go?
"The mysterious figure truly exists. You've wanted to kill me for him, yet you say you love me… How can I believe that?" Ye Chen said with a hint of sadness.
"I…" Zi Han didn't know how to explain, but she had already let go and only cared for Ye Chen.
"Since you like that person, go find him!" Ye Chen said.
"What!" Zi Han was shocked. She didn't expect Ye Chen would actually let go and allow her to seek the mysterious figure—how could this happen? Didn't Ye Chen love her?
"I do love you, but I can't tolerate you thinking about someone else while being with me—it's an insult to me!"
Zi Han was originally a Kirin, transformed into a stunningly beautiful human, noble and elegant, irresistible to men.
Ye Chen had true feelings for Zi Han but couldn't tolerate his woman thinking about another man!
Thus, what Ye Chen said was both a heartfelt confession and a test for Zi Han.
But Ye Chen's words were unacceptable for Zi Han—he was doubting her, doubting her love for him?
"Ye Chen, I love you so much, can't you feel it?" Zi Han's eyes became blurry, as if she were about to cry.
"I know you love me," Ye Chen nodded. "But loving me while thinking about another man—I can't accept that!"
"I don't!" Zi Han retorted.
"Heh." Ye Chen's face was filled with indifference.
"I love you, I only love you, there's no one else!" Zi Han said.
"I don't believe it." Ye Chen said casually.
If someone else had said those words, Ye Chen might have believed them.
But Zi Han was influenced by the Mysterious Maiden Skill; if she liked someone, she would keep liking them, more and more, unable to extricate herself.
Therefore, Ye Chen found no reason to believe her—the mysterious figure was like a thorn deeply embedded in him.
"What will make you believe in me?" Zi Han asked.
"..."
If Zi Han had asked this earlier, Ye Chen would definitely have seized the opportunity to win her over completely, fulfilling his wish.
But the matter with the mysterious figure left him utterly uninterested, too lazy to even speak.
"Ye Chen, what's wrong with you? Don't you believe me?" Ye Chen's cold and distant demeanor made Zi Han feel extremely aggrieved, even causing tears to flow.
"Leave." Ye Chen said. "Go find the person in your heart, don't appear before me again!"
Zi Han seemed perfectly fine, loving him to the extreme, unwilling to abandon him.
However, Ye Chen still had doubts, wanting to test Zi Han. If she truly turned away, he wouldn't insist on keeping her, because after all, he had Qing Ge. Zi Han… may happiness be with her.
However, what Ye Chen hadn't anticipated was that Zi Han's reaction was even more intense than he expected.
"I won't leave!" Zi Han cried, tightly embracing Ye Chen. "My heart is only for you, the mysterious figure means nothing to me. Please, don't drive me away, I just want to stay by your side!"
Ye Chen actually wanted to drive her away, something Zi Han couldn't accept, breaking into tears completely.
"..."
Zi Han's reaction was so intense that it startled Ye Chen.
Zi Han cried so fiercely, tears streaming down and wetting his clothes.
"Ye Chen, I love you!" Zi Han cried. "My heart is only for you, I just want to be with you. That mysterious figure... I don't know him at all. Ye Chen, you must believe me, don't drive me away! Boo hoo."
"..." Ye Chen was utterly dumbfounded.
Zi Han, after all, is a Transcendent powerhouse, soon to ascend to Heavenly Dao. She should have the demeanor of a strong person, but now… she's like a teenage girl!
Besides, Zi Han's behavior today was very abnormal. Usually shy and timid, she never dared to express love. Even if she did, it was very vague. But, how many times did she say 'I love you' today? Ye Chen could hardly remember.
However, what shocked Ye Chen even more was that Zi Han overwhelmed him.
"Ye Chen, isn't it me you want?" Zi Han asked, her eyes shining with tears. "I will give myself to you now, and then you must love me, you can never drive me away!"
"Wait a minute…" Ye Chen was taken aback.
"Do you still want to drive me away?" Zi Han's tears flowed again.
"Can you please stop crying!" Ye Chen said, exasperated.
"You're doubting my love and driving me away. How can I not cry?" Zi Han said.
"Isn't it normal for me to doubt you? After all, you're so beautiful and enchanting, how could that mysterious figure remain indifferent? You might have already…" Ye Chen said, thoughtlessly.
"I haven't!" Zi Han was furious. "I don't even know him, how could I be with him... How can you say such a thing?"
Ye Chen was actually doubting this, which Zi Han found unbearable—this guy was too despicable!
"Heh, you say you didn't, so you didn't. If I did something like that, I would also claim I hadn't," Ye Chen added fuel to the fire.
Zi Han had already lost her reason; if Ye Chen provoked her further, who knows... Well, Ye Chen just wanted to test it. If Zi Han truly acted that way, he could only promise not to resist.
"Fine!" Zi Han said. "I'll prove to you whether I have done anything wrong, whether I've been untrue to you!"
As expected, Zi Han was greatly provoked by Ye Chen's words and lost control, only wanting to prove herself with her actions.
"…" Ye Chen said nothing, opting to silently endure.
In the end, copious spiritual energy surged in, transforming into tangible form and condensing into a jade cocoon, enveloping both of them within.
Bang!
Suddenly, an aura spread out, radiating to the nearby area, startling all beings!
"It's the aura of the Heavenly Dao!"
Qing Ge looked toward Ye Chen's location, her gaze filled with shock,
After being harmed by Ye Chen, Qing Ge had been silently nursing her wounds, not knowing how to face this situation.
Still, she never expected Ye Chen had ascended to the Heavenly Dao!
"How is this possible!" Qing Ge exclaimed in disbelief. "The Heavenly Tao Realm is profound. Even I haven't grasped it. Although Zi Han obtained the Immortal Elixir, it's not so easy to touch the Heavenly Dao. Ye Chen has trained for so little time, just ascended to the Transcendent Realm, and now he's approaching the Heavenly Dao Domain?"
