Chapter 148: You Never Loved Me!

“Senior Brother, hiding in the great hall is ultimately not a long-term solution. When the enemy breaks the array, we’ll both die! Moreover, they will surely use this time to set up barriers outside, blocking all our escape routes. Given this, why not gift me your eyes… Once I cultivate the Extreme Dao Blood Pupils, I will slay them all. Then both of us can survive! Eyes are indeed important, but surviving is even more crucial!”

Su Yuxuan tried to persuade earnestly, hoping to convince Ye Chen to give up his eyes. It’s outrageous to ask someone to give up their eyes. A normal cultivator would definitely not agree. But Ye Chen had previously given away genuine Foundation Establishment techniques. So, giving away a pair of eyes might not be entirely impossible.

However, Ye Chen shook his head without hesitation: “No. Without my eyes, I’ll be blind. As a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage, I could live over a hundred more years. If I become blind, life wouldn’t be worth living. Let’s just die together then!”

Su Yuxuan’s mouth twitched.

I don’t want to die!

She hurriedly tried to convince him: “It won’t happen, Senior Brother. There are many spells in the world of cultivation to regenerate eyes, we just need to find them. I will definitely help you find the most perfect pair of eyes to replace yours. I can even find someone with an innate Divine Ability and take their eyes for you. You definitely won’t become blind in the future.”

Ye Chen scoffed inwardly.

This Su Yuxuan, when she sees benefits, she promises without hesitation. Just like the lies men tell women the first time they go to a hotel. Promises of a lifetime, of undivided love. Once they get what they want, they turn their heads and forget.

If Ye Chen believed her, he’d be a fool. Ye Chen took out a lounge chair from his storage ring. It was a comfortable piece he had procured from Yao Xi.

Lying on the lounge chair, Ye Chen appeared listless, as if he had lost his desire for life.

“Enough. If I become blind, how could you possibly spare me another glance? No woman is reliable. Once I’m blind, the women who now adore me, including my maids, will surely all leave me. I’ll have to spend the rest of my life alone and miserable. A life like that might as well not be worth living!”

Su Yuxuan became frantic: “Senior Brother, you’re talking about other women. I won’t do that, I will stay with you for a lifetime. Once we escape this danger, I’ll spend the rest of my life by your side, and I will never let you feel lonely.”

Ye Chen looked at Su Yuxuan skeptically: “How can you prove you’ll stay with me forever and never disdain me?”

Su Yuxuan: “???”

How can I prove that? I can’t prove it. I just want your eyes.

Su Yuxuan wanted to say something. But then she noticed Ye Chen’s gaze had shifted to her small feet. Remembering the humiliation from before, her pretty face twitched…

But Ye Chen’s eyes, not only could they make her stronger. They could also help her escape to safety. She couldn’t die yet! Even if it meant enduring humiliation, she had to survive.

Su Yuxuan bit her silver teeth and gently lifted her skirt, careful not to soil it later. Seeing Ye Chen motionless on the lounge chair. Su Yuxuan could only slowly float up, standing above Ye Chen’s lounge chair.

…

The next day.

Su Yuxuan repeatedly cast cleaning spells on her feet. Seeing Ye Chen stretching leisurely, she hurriedly asked, “Senior Brother, does this prove it now?”

Ye Chen shook his head without hesitation: “Yesterday, I saw disdain in your expression. Now, even without giving you my eyes, you show such disdain. Wouldn’t you disdain me even more once I give them to you?”

Su Yuxuan bit her lip, suppressing her anger, and smiled coyly: “What are you talking about, Senior Brother… I didn’t disdain you, it’s just that I’m not used to it. After all, I’ve never been with a man before!”

Ye Chen looked skeptical: “Is that so?”

Su Yuxuan nodded eagerly: “It’s true, the favor you did me by giving me the Earth-grade Foundation Establishment technique has already made me fall deeply in love with you. I love you to death, how could I possibly disdain you!”
