Conversation

Let's go back one hour.

Wang Dong'er, Wang Dong'er had been sleeping soundly, finally opened her eyes. She was a little groggy when she woke up, feeling as if she had been sleepwalking. Although she had just woken up, her body felt incredibly tired.

After some thought, Wang Dong'er quickly remembered what had just happened.

She had tried to pick the Lovesick Heartbreak Red, but failed because her resolve was not strong enough.

At the very moment of her defeat, an external consciousness emerged from the Lovesick Heartbreak Red and attempted to invade her Sea of Consciousness.

Thinking of this, Wang Dong'er quickly checked her Sea of Consciousness and then found the foreign consciousness.

After all, anyone would feel uncomfortable with a time bomb that's always ready to take over their body.

However, no matter how Wang Dong'er searched, she couldn't find anything unusual in her Sea of Consciousness, as if that consciousness had never existed.

Just as Wang Dong'er thought that the consciousness had used a unique method to hide itself, a calm voice sounded in Wang Dong'er ear, "You don't need to worry about that foreign consciousness. It was dealt with by the talisman Little Xingyu gave you."

Gu Yuena was leaning against a large tree, toying with the necklace with the Sea-Calming Pearl that Xu Xingyu had given to Wang Dong'er.

Upon hearing this, Wang Dong'er immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Although she and Gu Yuena weren't particularly close, given Gu Yuena's strength, she had no reason to deceive her.

At the same time, I felt a little happier. Xu Xingyu actually cared about me so much, and actually gave me such a precious treasure as a talisman!

However, at this moment, Wang Dong'er Wang Dong'er of the fact that she had failed to pick the Lovesick Heartbreak Red, and her mood worsened again.

Wang Dong'er took out her storage ring and began rummaging through its contents. Soon, she found what she wanted.

It was a white peony flower, its stem still Entanglement around a piece of Wujue Stone.

Looking at the Lovesick Heartbreak Red in her hand, Wang Dong'er's face turned bitter, because this meant that she had not truly gained the Lovesick Heartbreak Red's approval!

Wang Dong'er's love for Xu Xingyu was not recognized by the Lovesick Heartbreak Red!

Xu Xingyu clearly cares about me, even giving me such an expensive gift for self-defense, but I can't guarantee the steadfastness of my love for him.

Am I unworthy of love?

Just as Wang Dong'er was still feeling sorry for herself for failing the test of the Lovesick Heartbreak Red, Gu Yuena spoke up, "The reason you failed the test of the Lovesick Heartbreak Red is because you failed to truly understand your own feelings, which caused your love to be mixed with some impure things."

This made Wang Dong'er inexplicably angry, and she turned around and shouted, "What do you mean I failed to recognize my own feelings? I'm still Brother Xingyu's fiancée! Just because you passed that test doesn't mean you can boss me around!"

Actually, Wang Dong'er wasn't very confident when she said those words.

After all, the other party was Xu Xingyu's first love, and Gu Yuena spent much more time with Xu Xingyu than she did. However, she couldn't let go of her pride and didn't want to admit that she was inferior to Gu Yuena.

Gu Yuena was also annoyed after hearing Wang Dong'er's words, but considering that the other party was just a newcomer, she immediately felt much better and began to speak in a senior's tone:

"It's precisely because of your character that you failed the test for the Lovesick Heartbreak Red. If you were willing to listen to other people's opinions, perhaps you would understand why you failed."

"You!!!!"

It was obvious that Wang Dong'er was extremely unhappy with Gu Yuena's attitude as the legal wife, but upon closer examination, she realized that what Gu Yuena said made some sense.

Therefore, Wang Dong'er chose to listen to the other party's opinion and learn from it her own shortcomings.

This is a classic case of me using what you taught me to poach your employees!

Gu Yuena replied, "Just say you want me to help."

Faced with Gu Yuena's mocking attitude, Wang Dong'er could only swallow her anger and ask, "May I ask, beautiful and noble Miss Gu Yuena, what exactly is wrong with me? What factors prevented me from passing the test of the Lovesick Heartbreak Red?"

After hearing what she wanted to hear, Gu Yuena nodded in satisfaction and began to speak, "Before that, I'd like to ask you, why did you fall in love with Xu Xingyu?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Dong'er began to recall the time she spent with Xu Xingyu. The two first met when their Clear Sky Sect was forced to submit to the Spirit Contract Pagoda.

At the time, they were betrayed by a father they had never met, because the other party needed a guarantee to ensure that the Clear Sky Sect would not rebel unexpectedly, and they were forced into an involuntary marriage with Xu Xingyu.

This led to a less than favorable impression of each other upon their first meeting.

The two truly began to care about each other when Wang Dong'er accidentally entered the Soul Spirit Realm, where she was controlled by something left behind by her father and attempted to destroy the Soul Spirit Realm, causing heavy losses to the Spirit Contract Pagoda.

It was Xu Xingyu who helped him break free from his father's control and awakened the power deep within his bloodline, allowing his Martial Soul Evolution into the Vast Sea God of Light Butterfly and the Killing God Clear Sky Hammer.

It was from that time that Wang Dong'er began to pay attention to Xu Xingyu. As the two got to know each other better, Wang Dong'er gradually came to understand what kind of person this boy named Xu Xingyu was.

From Wang Dong'er's perspective, Xu Xingyu is a genius who transcends centuries. He not only possesses rare talent in cultivation, but he can also manage the Spirit Contract Pagoda, a super power spanning four great empires, all by himself.

At the same time, he is also a genius in the field of Soul Tool. Perhaps he only came up with an idea for many things, but it is rare to be able to come up with such Pegasus ideas.

Regarding Soul Spirit Contract, Wang Dong'er can guarantee that without Xu Xingyu, the entire Spirit Contract Pagoda would never have reached its current level of research on Soul Spirit.

Because a simple Soul Spirit Contract cannot bring true peace between humans and Soul Beast, it is the constraints and benefits that Xu Xingyu added to the Soul Spirit Contract that enable humans and Soul Beast to have a future of mutual progress.

But this also made Wang Dong'er feel that the other party was living a very tiring life. She had seen Xu Xingyu fall asleep on her desk due to overwork countless times.

Witnessing Xu Xingyu's ongoing struggle against the conflict between humans and Soul Beast, Wang Dong'er couldn't help but feel a desire to help her and alleviate her pressure.

It was at that moment that Wang Dong'er realized she had fallen in love with her fiancé and secretly vowed to free him from that unbearable burden of responsibility.

This is why Wang Dong'er is so hostile towards Gu Yuena; in Wang Dong'er's mind, Gu Yuena is the source of Xu Xingyu's burden.
