Golden light slowly descended upon Di Qiu'er.
The same question came again. "Do you have a lover?"
"Yes."
"Who is it?"
"Ji Siyuan."
"He has more than just you as his lover. Do you truly accept that?"
Qiu'er fell silent for a moment. "Just as Xue'er said, who wouldn't want to have their lover all to themselves? But Siyuan has his own history with Yu Tong, Dong'er, and Xue'er. I won't monopolize him. I can accept that he has multiple lovers."
The golden light asked again, "You and another person look exactly alike. Do you suspect that his feelings for you are merely possessiveness?"
"Does that really matter? Possessiveness is possessiveness, isn't it?"
"Don't you hope that he truly loves you?"
"I do."
"When he gave his most precious possession to Wang Dong'er, did you ever feel jealous?"
Qiu'er nodded. "I did. But I already said it back then. It should have belonged to Dong'er."
Even the Divine Examination could uncover everything with absolute clarity.
"You will grow farther and farther apart from them. Your future will be far inferior to theirs. Will you resent Ji Siyuan?"
Qiu'er answered calmly, "That is my own problem. I will work hard to overcome it rather than resent Siyuan." She fell silent for a moment before slowly continuing, "I am the Emperor Auspicious Beast. My transformation is different from that of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. I have not changed my essence, so it is very likely that I cannot become a god. So I only hope to stand properly at Ji Siyuan's side, rather than hate Dong'er for being able to help him. If there is anyone to hate, it can only be myself."
"You have only met Ji Siyuan a few times. How can you be sure that he will love you?"
