The Reason Why

"Of course I won't agree!" Yuan Yan replied decisively, without the slightest hesitation.

"Why?" Nuwa asked softly, a trace of doubt in her eyes.

Yuan Yan did not explain immediately. He hesitated slightly. Should he simply change the subject and make up some excuse, or should he tell her the real reason?

He believed that if he directly changed the subject or casually made up an excuse, even if Nuwa knew he was evading the matter and felt puzzled, she would not press him for answers.

Yet if he told her the real reason, there would be far too much that was difficult to explain.

After hesitating for only an instant, Yuan Yan still decided to tell her the truth.

She had not forcibly pulled free and had allowed him to hold her soft hand. Though she had not stated her position outright, it was no different from doing so.

Their relationship had already reached this point, so naturally, he would not keep too much from her.

Of course, the main reason he did not keep too much from her was that he had already completed Three Corpses Severance and elevated his state of mind. He had also taken a seat on the Sage Position Futon, governed and restored the Western Continent, gained Immeasurable Merit and Fortune, become the master of the west, and earned the recognition of the Primordial World. More importantly, he possessed sufficient strength and feared no threat other than Dao Ancestor Hongjun...

Besides, although he would not hide too much from Nuwa, he would not reveal everything either. Telling her the true reason he was unwilling to act against Di Jun and Taiyi would still leave some things difficult to explain, but he simply would not explain them. Presumably, she would not pursue the matter.
