That was right... Qi Ji had no intention of hiding anything. After all, Yuanen Yehui was now undoubtedly one of his own.
You had to admit that on this Douluo Continent, where romance formed the underlying logic-and even throughout the entire universe-marriage, or rather love, was far more reliable than any alliance.
If anything in this universe was eternal, it had to be love. Of course, although love was eternal, there were still cases of betrayal like Lao Yi's.
But that required both parties to be sincere. Whether Lao Yi's fiancée had truly loved him was another matter.
At least Qi Ji could be certain that he had successfully won Yuanen Yehui over.
"My martial soul... is it because of my first martial soul, the Titan Giant Ape?" Yuanen Yehui could not help thinking of her family.
She sat on the edge of the bed, her long black hair falling messily over her shoulders. A few strands clung to her faintly flushed cheeks, and her dark red eyes were lowered, watching the fingers resting on her knees.
Her fingers were slender and pale, their tips curling slightly with nervousness as they clutched the edge of the sheet.
As a secluded clan, her family had several Titled Douluos and one Limit Douluo holding the fort. They carried weight anywhere on the continent. Surely even Qi Ji had to take them seriously?
A faint thread of hope even rose in her heart. If this was because of her family, did that mean she still had some value that made her needed?
"But... I cut off contact with my family a long time ago." Remembering what had happened in her childhood, Yuanen Yehui could not help speaking up.
Her voice grew a little quieter, and a shadow flickered through her dark red eyes.
