“Why did you try to kill me ——!!!!”
“You think I will forgive you, I will never forgive you in this lifetime ——!!!!”
“I know everything you did to me, haha, don’t think you can hide it from me.”
At this moment, Yu Ling’er saw countless Ye Xuans looking at her with cold eyes. The affection he once had for her was replaced with cold indifference and merciless mockery.
“You look down on me because I have no spiritual root, right?!”
“I knew it——!”
“No, I didn’t, I... I didn’t...”
“You did, you definitely did.”
“Ah——!!!!” With a scream, Yu Ling’er woke up from her daze, only to realize she was in someone’s arms—a man’s arms.
“Ah——!!!!” Although she had lived a second life and almost married in the previous life, she had never had any physical contact with the opposite sex, except being held by her father as a child. So instinctively, she reacted defensively.
Boom——!!!
The man holding her was sent flying by her palm, hitting the ice wall heavily.
“Hisss——!!!!” At this moment, Ye Xuan let out a painful groan. Hitting the hard ice wall was really painful.
“Uh...” It was only then that Yu Ling’er realized that the person she had sent flying was Ye Xuan.
The person holding her just now, was it really Ye Xuan?
At that moment, Yu Ling’er felt an inexplicable joy.
But she quickly came back to reality, knowing this wasn’t the time for such thoughts. She hurried forward to treat Ye Xuan’s injuries. Fortunately, in her previous life, besides swordsmanship, she also learned some Taihua spells, so treating minor injuries was not a problem.
“I’m sorry... sorry... Ye... Xuan... I didn’t know it was you... If I had known it was you, I wouldn’t have...” As she treated Ye Xuan, she apologized.
“So you would have shown no mercy, right?” Ye Xuan calmly accepted Yu Ling’er’s treatment and said to her.
“I...” Yu Ling’er was about to explain, but suddenly stopped herself. It was then that she realized something. Sometimes, once an event has occurred, any explanation is weak and ineffective. Just like how Ye Xuan had felt when facing her earlier, no matter how much he explained, she would not have believed him. She only believed what she saw, what Ye Xuan had done...
She thought a few simple words of explanation could make Ye Xuan forgive her. But such things don’t happen in the real world. With this realization, Yu Ling’er took a deep breath to steady her mind. She raised her head, her face pale, and bravely looked into Ye Xuan’s eyes, albeit with a pale face.
She understood the importance of re-establishing a good relationship with Ye Xuan. She knew that if she didn’t make amends now, she might never get another chance. It was crucial not to let Ye Xuan become entirely disheartened by the past events.
However, Yu Ling’er found herself at a loss about what to do next. She recognized the complexity of the situation and the challenge in rebuilding trust and affection, especially when faced with the reality of their strained relationship.
No matter what she says, it cannot change the fact that she had previously looked down on Ye Xuan with disdain and hostility, nor can it change the fact that she had just tried to kill him. In fact, she had even less right to explain herself than Ye Xuan once did.
At least, if she had chosen to believe in Ye Xuan back then, he would have been innocent. But how could she explain her recent attempt to kill Ye Xuan? She was not innocent! Even if there were a million reasons, misunderstandings, or the arrangements of fate, it cannot change this fact. What should she do?
At this moment, Yu Ling’er was in an unprecedented panic, unable to find a reason to explain everything that had just happened to Ye Xuan. If Ye Xuan knew that she really wanted to kill him, it would be a miracle if he could love her again.
After all, she didn’t even believe Ye Xuan’s more reasonable and credible explanations. How could she explain to Ye Xuan? Should she say she’s a reborn person who misunderstood Ye Xuan and wanted to kill him, but fell in love with him again when the misunderstanding was cleared a moment ago? Who would believe such a thing!
“Uh...”
Seeing Yu Ling’er’s silly look, Ye Xuan was speechless. Really? I gave you so much time to prepare, and you still haven’t figured out how to explain what you did? Were the decades of cultivation you did real? Forget it, since you’re not ready, let me do it.
Thinking this, Ye Xuan put on a cold face and said, “Let’s get this straight, I only held you in my arms earlier because I was afraid you’d freeze to death. I didn’t do anything to you, and I’m not interested in a girl like you.”
Hearing Ye Xuan’s words, Yu Ling’er was startled, and then her face flushed red. He really did hold her just now, and maybe for a long time. She felt inexplicably happy, but why? It’s a feeling she’s never had before...
He’s just a beginner and doesn’t know the prowess of a Object Manipulation cultivator, so he must have thought she would freeze to death. He is indeed a kind person; even though she had just tried to kill him, he didn’t abandon her. How could such a kind person leave her in danger and run away?
In her previous life, she must have been blinded by pig fat to believe that he would run away. But more importantly, she was more concerned about... that he was willing to hold her. That meant he probably didn’t hate her as much as she thought. After all, she did save him in the end.
Thinking this, Yu Ling’er quickly waved her hands and said, “No... no... no problem... I... I’m willing...”
Suddenly, the scene became quiet. A cold wind blew over the ice mountain, making the atmosphere awkward.
Ye Xuan: What the heck does ‘I’m willing’ mean?! I know you’re moved by my deep acting now, but please understand your role. What script are you holding... You just tried to kill me, and now you’re saying you’re willing without even explaining properly. Aren’t you embarrassed? If you’re not embarrassed, I don’t even know how to continue the conversation!
Yu Ling’er: ... I’m willing? I’m willing?! Ahhh! Yu Ling’er, what did you just say? Aren’t you embarrassed?! At this moment, Yu Ling’er also felt incredibly awkward, wishing she could find a hole to crawl into. Ye Xuan was still looking at her coldly, saying he wasn’t interested in her. But then, she suddenly said she was willing.
Bang!
Yu Ling’er’s face turned red again, and she almost fainted from embarrassment.
