Chapter 199 I disagree
"Xiao Yu..." Fan Qingyin was helped to sit on the bed by Jiang Yu. He could only murmur her name, not knowing what to say for a moment. Everything seemed like a dream. After all, from the moment he activated the magic array to offer the sacrifice, he never thought he would see Xiao Yu again.
Lin Yi didn't come in when he reached the door, leaving the two of them alone. After crying and venting her emotions, Jiang Yu's mood gradually stabilized. Now, seeing Fan Qingyin sitting obediently on the bed, not asking any questions, just looking at her, her heart softened.
"Where should I begin?" Jiang Yu smiled slightly, sat on the edge of the bed, and took Qingyin's hand in her own. "How about you tell me first how my brave and handsome husband avenged me in public?"
Hearing her mention this, Fan Qingyin felt somewhat embarrassed. He had been filled with anger and hatred at the time, and his methods had indeed been extremely cruel. It seemed that Xiaoyu knew about it. Would she think he was too ruthless? He also thought about how his hair was now completely red, and he no longer looked as upright as before. His expression turned somewhat ugly, but he absolutely did not regret it.
"I wish I had been there. I missed seeing my Qingyin dominate the battlefield. It's such a shame. It's such a pity I couldn't witness the horrible deaths of those damned people." Just as Fan Qingyin was about to fall into a self-loathing and negative mood, she heard Jiang Yu say this. He opened his eyes wide, his red eyes as lovely as rose jelly.
Jiang Yu couldn't resist leaning in and kissing Fan Qingyin's eyes. "Her ice-blue eyes used to be like a fairy descending to earth, but now they've turned blood red, making her look incredibly alluring and seductive~"
"!" So not only has his hair turned red, but his eyes have changed too? Fan Qingyin hadn't looked in a mirror before, and no one had told him, so he only found out now. His mood soured again. Red is an ominous color, representing devils, witches, and evil.
“I really like it. Have you ever heard of vampires or blood clans, Qingyin?” Jiang Yu noticed Fan Qingyin’s low spirits and decided to distract him. There were some things she hadn’t been open about with him and Lin Yi, but now the time was right and it was time to tell them.
"In the other world I live in, red hair is very popular. It's a favorite among young people and the darling of the fashion world. If it weren't for the restrictions of school and work, I would have dyed my hair red long ago." Jiang Yu smiled and directly revealed her huge secret that she had been keeping hidden to Fan Qingyin.
Another world of life... Fan Qingyin carefully pondered the meaning of these words, and after understanding them, her first reaction was to hug Jiang Yu tightly and imprison her in her arms.
Then she began to think quietly. So that's how it is. Everything in the past makes sense now. That's why Xiaoyu sometimes seems out of place, why it's so difficult for her to accept them, why she has a close friend from the Forest Empire whom she has never met but with whom she has a sincere friendship, and why Xiaoyu's life before adulthood seems so incomplete... So that's how it is.
"So you're resisting our relationship because you're worried about going back to that world one day, is that right?" Fan Qingyin asked softly, but his grip on her hand didn't loosen at all. He stubbornly believed that as long as he held her, as long as she was in his arms, she wouldn't disappear into thin air.
No one can take Xiaoyu away, not even herself. His eyes turned cold as he reached out and pinched Jiang Yu's chin, lifting her face. For the first time, he looked at Jiang Yu with a forceful and serious expression, asking, "So, will you go back? Do you want to return to your original world?"
Jiang Yu lifted her head following his pull, looking into his strong yet vulnerable eyes, and made no attempt to hide anything: "I did have concerns about that before, but since I accepted you, I've never thought about going back. Qingyin, do you know how I brought you back? I told the magic array to completely close the passage to that world."
"I think I'm really clever. I never intended to go back. Being able to exchange this for your life is such a good deal. I was really worried that I wouldn't be able to fool the magic circle or that the magic circle wouldn't acknowledge it. Luckily, the contract was successful, and the magic circle returned you to me. Qingyin, how about it? Now you're bound to me forever, and you can never be separated from me."
"That's wonderful." Fireworks lit up Fan Qingyin's heart. He would have been willing to die again to keep Xiao Yu by his side. Now that he had finally heard Xiao Yu's promise, his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, could finally be put back down.
Feeling the icy aura around Fan Qingyin vanish instantly, Jiang Yu snuggled contentedly into his arms. But after a short while, she remembered she had some important things to say, so she had to shrink back into Fan Qingyin's embrace like a quail and steel herself to continue:
"Moya, the sea monster that kidnapped me, is the last descendant of the Muliu clan, the companions of the gods. He's the legendary sea monster from the previous sea ban, Molinbia." Jiang Yu pursed her lips and continued:
“He has the altar constitution. This time, it was because he used himself as an altar to reopen the magic circle and then disguised himself as a god to deceive the magic circle, that you were able to be brought back. Qingyin, he is still in that pool. I don’t know how he is. He is seriously injured.”
Jiang Yu didn't know what was wrong with her. Her words sounded like a flustered and desperate explanation. She knew perfectly well that what she was saying was true, and she knew that it was not only her explanation but also her groundwork, but the more she spoke, the more guilty she felt.
When she decided to take Adam as her partner, it didn't take much effort for her to explain to Lin Yi; he seemed to accept it naturally. But when it came to Qing Yin, even though he was the gentlest and most supportive person for her, she couldn't bring herself to say it.
"And then? Xiaoyu, I know you haven't finished speaking." Fan Qingyin noticed her hesitant expression and patiently guided her.
“Moya likes me very much. For various reasons, I decided to become his partner. I plan to find a way to create a human identity for him and then choose him as my husband.” After Jiang Yu finished speaking, she did not dare to look into Fan Qingyin’s eyes. She nervously played with her fingers and Fan Qingyin’s fingers.
Fan Qingyin was silent for a while, his voice still gentle as ever, without any particular emotion. He asked, "He took good care of you at the bottom of the sea, then escorted you back to the shore, and even risked his own safety to activate the magic array to save me. So, do you want to choose him as your partner?"
“Xiaoyu, he was the one who kidnapped you. No matter how good he is to you afterward, it can't offset his good deeds. If you value his power or are moved by him, then you should give up on him.”
“He’s a monster, and you don’t like him. I disagree.”
