Chapter 198: I Want You to Die with Me

Su Yuxuan couldn’t hold back anymore.

“Senior brother, cultivation is like swimming against the current, we must forge ahead. How can we just sink into despair and wait for death?”

Ye Chen nodded, “You’re right! But as a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, what can I do?”

Su Yuxuan spoke seriously, “Senior brother, if you give me your heart… I can secretly rid myself of the Heart Devouring Talisman and gather strength. When Old Monster Wang finishes refining the medicine and comes to capture me, I’ll strike her with a fatal blow.”

Ye Chen frowned slightly after hearing this, “But what if your ambush fails, and she uses our brother’s soul to threaten you?”

Su Yuxuan felt exasperated but still spoke earnestly, “We have to try… Besides, although Old Monster Wang swore an oath to the heavens, I still don’t fully trust her. She promised to release my brother’s soul from the Human Emperor Banner, to let it return to nature. But who knows if she’ll let someone else destroy my brother’s soul? The heavenly oath has too many loopholes. So, rather than relying on others, relying on myself is better.”

Ye Chen nodded upon hearing this. This was the true nature of the little demoness. She had once promised to stay by his side forever, only to abandon him when it suited her. How could she trust anyone’s words? Even the heavenly oath couldn’t be trusted. Her earlier act had been far too unnatural.

However, Ye Chen’s face still showed hesitation, “But if I give you my heart, doesn’t that mean I die?”

Who would want to die?

Su Yuxuan understood Ye Chen’s hesitation. She gently placed her small foot into his hand, “But if you don’t give it to me, we’re both dead… If you give me your heart, I might still have a chance to live. You’ve said it yourself: making the enemy unhappy is the same as making yourself happy. Rather than letting Old Monster Wang easily possess me and kill you, why not let me live, and I’ll kill her? This would be the best ending.”

Su Yuxuan decided to play her cards openly. It was clear that Ye Chen truly liked her. Since other methods weren’t working, she would have to plead with him.

Ye Chen had already given her his eyes before. Later, he gave her precious items like the Glazed Purification Water and the Ancient Jade as soon as he got them. Now, with a choice that could save her life and bring trouble to the enemy, there was a very high chance Ye Chen would agree.

But Ye Chen furrowed his brow even deeper. “But… if I die, what happens to the enemy doesn’t matter to me at all.”

Su Yuxuan: …

That’s not what you said just now.

Su Yuxuan held back the urge to grind her teeth. “Senior brother, isn’t it good for me to live?”

Ye Chen shook his head seriously. “Honestly, I’m not very happy about it. I do like you. But the premise is that I’m alive, and I have the chance to be with you. But if I die, and one day you find a partner, when I think about how your future won’t have me in it, how everything that belongs to me will belong to another man, I become even more unwilling. I’m not a saint, I’m actually very selfish. So, let’s die together…”

Su Yuxuan panicked. Because Ye Chen liked her, he wanted to drag her down with him?

This…

Su Yuxuan hurriedly spoke up: “To truly love someone, it shouldn’t be about possession. It’s enough to see her happy. Like that saying, what was it? Ah, yes, ‘If you are well, then it’s a sunny day.’ And besides, I promise I will stay alone for the rest of my life. I won’t ever find another man. After meeting someone like senior brother, how could I look at anyone else?”

Su Yuxuan’s words made Ye Chen’s lips twitch.

Didn’t I just say that?
