Chapter 324: Her love is for Lord Wuming, what does it have to do with me?
As a bystander, Dragon Maiden was even more excited about Li Muyang’s feelings than Li Muyang himself.
When Chu Qingxue suddenly spoke up and brought up the matter again, her excited and sharp cries made Li Muyang worry that she might faint from the excitement.
Now, the voice of Dragon Maiden echoed in his ears.
This face-loving Moon-Biting Dragon was crazily urging Li Muyang to say he liked Chu Qingxue.
Li Muyang was somewhat speechless.
He looked at Fairy Chu, who was calmly waiting for his response, and after pondering for a while, he finally spoke.
“There’s certainly no trouble.”
Li Muyang looked at Chu Qingxue honestly and said, “To be favored by the fairy, to be honest, I am flattered.”
“I believe any man in this world would be moved by the fairy.”
Li Muyang smiled and continued, “I am a man, albeit a mundane one. Appreciating beauty is human nature.”
“But the kind of life you expected in the world of inner demons... I may not be able to provide.”
Li Muyang pointed outside the pavilion to the thick fog and said, “This fog is conjured by my magic to obscure the view.”
“But beyond this continent, over the sea, there is a white mist that even cultivators cannot cross.”
“And I live on another continent beyond that Sea of Mist.”
Li Muyang did not hide anything and was straightforward.
“The Sea of Mist blocks everything, and even I cannot cross it. I can only use special methods to descend and incarnate in the Heavenly Origin Dynasty.”
“But this method of incarnation has great limitations. It’s not something I can do whenever I wish.”
Li Muyang sighed and added, “So even if I wanted to reciprocate the fairy’s affection, I wouldn’t be able to do so, let alone live with you as you hoped in the world of inner demons.”
“Moreover, our every encounter in the past has been a hasty visitation in my incarnate form, a brief meeting followed by a hasty departure.”
“To be honest, fairy, you still lack understanding of the real me.”
“The ‘real Wuming’ might shatter your illusions...”
Li Muyang was utterly honest, not trying to aggrandize himself.
The Sea of Mist was indeed the greatest barrier.
With this fog in between, he could not reciprocate Fairy Liuli’s affection.
But apart from the Sea of Mist, the scarcity of their interactions was also fatal.
In Chu Qingxue’s view, Li Muyang was a mysterious hero with noble aspirations and fearless in the face of death.
But for Li Muyang, he didn’t see himself as any sort of heroic figure.
He was just an ordinary man.
With some quirks, a bit of a wicked sense of humor, occasionally lazy, and not particularly ambitious.
The real him was entirely different from the Wuming that Chu Qingxue imagined.
Although he could easily take advantage of Fairy Chu’s fondness for him and have his way with Fairy Liuli, only to part ways after being exposed...But Li Muyang disdained to do such things.
He wasn’t a good person, but neither was he a scoundrel.
In matters of the heart, he even had a bit of a purity complex.
Otherwise, back in Tianjiao City, Li Muyang would have long since shared his bed with those beautiful maidservants who served him.
Li Muyang smiled as he bluntly revealed his stance, then waited for Chu Qingxue’s response.
Unexpectedly, after hearing Li Muyang’s answer, Chu Qingxue didn’t react too strongly.
Her expression remained indifferent, as if Li Muyang’s response came as no surprise to her.
In fact, upon hearing Li Muyang’s frank answer, Chu Qingxue’s brows gently relaxed.
She quietly looked at Li Muyang, their gazes meeting, and this cold and indifferent fairy actually revealed a slight smile.
“...Your response is pretty much what I expected.”
Chu Qingxue smiled and said, “Lord Wuming, you’re really easy to understand.”
“Always so sincere, kind, completely disdainful of lying and deceiving.”
“Still, the existence of another continent beyond the Sea of Mist is indeed surprising...”
Chu Qingxue murmured softly, then after a moment of silence, said, “Actually, my thoughts are similar to Lord Wuming’s.”
She quietly watched Li Muyang and said, “I truly admire Lord Wuming, although I don’t think I’ve fallen for a false image. But as Lord Wuming said, I can’t fully express my feelings until I see Lord Wuming’s true form.”
“I originally wanted to see Lord Wuming’s true appearance, to shamelessly seek an audience and spend some time with Lord Wuming.”
“But unfortunately, the Sea of Mist blocks everything, and Lord Wuming is actually beyond the sea...”
Chu Qingxue sighed softly and said, “But I won’t give up. I will find a way to cross the Sea of Mist, to the other side of the sea, to see the real Lord Wuming.”
“When that time comes, I’ll earnestly convey my feelings to Lord Wuming.”
Chu Qingxue spoke up, “Lord Wuming, would you welcome me over?”
“Uh... this...”
Li Muyang, upon hearing Chu Qingxue’s indifferent yet straightforward answer, subconsciously fell silent.
Although reason and common sense told him that the Sea of Mist was impassable and Chu Qingxue would never have the chance to see his true form in her lifetime, for some reason, when Chu Qingxue uttered those words, he suddenly had a strong intuition—if he agreed now, Chu Qingxue really would cross the Sea of Mist to see him!
Li Muyang hesitated for a moment.
Chu Qingxue, however, asked with surprise, “Um... is it inconvenient?”
She curiously looked at Li Muyang, guessing, “Does Lord Wuming have a family on that side? A jealous wife?”
“Uh... cough cough... not exactly a family,” Li Muyang nearly choked on his saliva.
This fairy Chu, was she so perceptive?
Li Muyang thought of Yan Xiaoru and sighed, “But indeed, there is a woman I like, and she probably likes me too. Although for various reasons, our relationship is somewhat strained right now.”
Li Muyang found it difficult to explain.
But after hearing his answer, Chu Qingxue unexpectedly reacted with indifference.
Upon hearing that the man she liked already had someone in his heart, Chu Qingxue was not at all agitated.
She nodded and said, “If that’s the case, then Lord Wuming is welcoming me.”
“She and Lord Wuming are in love, but that has nothing to do with me.”
Fairy Liuli looked seriously at Li Muyang and said, “The one I like is Lord Wuming, not her.”
“As long as Lord Wuming welcomes me, I will cross the Sea of Mist to meet Lord Wuming.”
Fairy Liuli’s earnest nonsense instantly fried Li Muyang’s CPU. (Brain)
This fairy’s thought process... was it so unconventional?
But before Li Muyang could speak, Chu Qingxue said softly again,
“Even if Lord Wuming doesn’t welcome Qingxue, I will still cross the Sea of Mist to meet Lord Wuming.”
“No matter what, I must see Lord Wuming at least once in this lifetime.”
