Chapter 740: Don't Ask Heaven's Will, Ask My Heart!
Unpleasant!
Very unpleasant!
Although technically, Yan Qun'er and I only share a master-disciple relationship.
We once had a period of ambiguous feelings, but ultimately we didn’t end up together, so I have no right to interfere in her matters.
However, when I heard the news that Yan Qun'er might be getting married, I instinctively felt very displeased.
It felt as though something that originally belonged to me was about to be taken away by someone else, and I inherently resented, even opposed, such behavior.
But after a brief moment of impulse, I regained my rationality and quickly understood the reason behind it.
From the very beginning of life, most males have been filled with aggression, striving to engage with as many females as possible and produce offspring at the least cost.
Males are greedy!
For suitable females, there is an inherent possessiveness deeply engraved in their bloodline.
As for those males who lack aggression and possessiveness, they have long been eliminated through rounds of selection.
All living beings now are descendants of once-excellent bloodlines!
That kind of nature, the aggression and possessiveness inscribed in the bloodline, has naturally been inherited!
Although there has never been any intimate communication, perhaps in my subconscious, I have already viewed Yan Qun'er as my woman, which is why I instinctively felt displeased when I heard the news.
“Crack!”
After Yan Qun'er finished speaking, a prolonged silence fell by the campfire, with only the occasional pops from the fire.
“...”
Yan Qun'er secretly raised her head, observing Liu Yu's reaction from the corner of her eye.
Although saying it out loud may not change anything, she still said those words impulsively, hoping he could do something.
In her pitch-black eyes, a rational light flickered, and Liu Yu noticed her gaze, turning to look at her, causing her to immediately turn her head away and shift her gaze.
The rules of the sect and social morals are invisible shackles, even for a true master at the golden core realm, it is difficult to attain true freedom.
He understood that Yan Qun'er speaking such words perhaps took a lot of courage.
Afterward, she might be "assigned" and, under heavy pressure, find it difficult to resist.
“Do I really have to let go completely?”
Liu Yu examined his heart and immediately found the answer.
Although there have been a few concubines and many female cultivators with whom he had intimate exchanges, the intersection with Yan Qun'er was the most "special" due to a heroic rescue during his youth.
Because it was pure enough.
Yan Qun'er’s feelings for him initially were given unconditionally, without much consideration for personal gain.
As for now, everyone lives in the mundane world, making it hard not to consider the aspect of profit, and Liu Yu was already used to it.
In contrast, other concubines, including those with whom he had intimate exchanges, had at least some elements of personal gain from the start.
Although the outcomes might be the same, Liu Yu had to admit he cared about the beginnings as well.
A good start does not necessarily guarantee a good outcome, but compared to a bad start, the chances are undoubtedly greater and worth the risk and investment.
“For mortals, what Heaven arranges is naturally the greatest.”
“But for us cultivators, the path to cultivating immortality is to go against Heaven!”
After a few moments of silence, Liu Yu suddenly smiled freely and spoke calmly.
Saying this made his heart feel unprecedentedly light, as if his state of mind had reached a certain sublimation.
Upon hearing this, Yan Qun'er looked up in surprise, her eyes reigniting with brilliance.
In just two or three breaths, it felt like years had passed, and she finally got the answer she wanted.
“Don’t ask Heaven's will, ask my heart's will!”
Looking directly into each other’s eyes and seeing the surprise on the female cultivator's face, Liu Yu’s expression turned serious, speaking with determination.
