Chapter 199: My Heart Beats for You!

Su Yuxuan’s heart had already descended into despair. But, by nature, she wasn’t one to give up easily, and she made one last effort. Upon hearing Ye Chen’s words, her eyes widened in surprise.

Had Ye Chen changed his mind?

Su Yuxuan quickly nodded enthusiastically, like a chick pecking at grains of rice. “Senior brother, I really want it. I, Su Yuxuan, am willing to swear a heavenly oath. My small feet, my everything, will only belong to you, senior brother. I swear that no other man will touch me in this lifetime. And I will never develop feelings for any other man.”

Su Yuxuan’s heavenly oath was spoken with the utmost sincerity. It wasn’t about deceiving Ye Chen to get his heart.

Su Yuxuan was willing to do anything to survive. But that didn’t mean she couldn’t distinguish right from wrong. She knew just how good Ye Chen had been to her.

A man like him was truly one of a kind in the cultivation world. After experiencing a man like him, any other male cultivator she met in the future would inevitably be compared to Ye Chen. But how could anyone else compare to Ye Chen?

So Su Yuxuan’s words were genuine.

Ye Chen, hearing this, maintained a calm expression, his face void of any emotion.

Su Yuxuan realized that Ye Chen didn’t believe her words anymore. She quickly tried to say something more.

But Ye Chen sighed softly. “Forget it. As long as you remember that there was once a man named Ye Chen, who deeply loved you, that will be enough. If you could occasionally offer a prayer at my grave, that would be even better…”

…

Su Yuxuan was speechless after hearing this, her carefully prepared words suddenly failing her. Ye Chen clearly didn’t believe her promise. But still, in this moment, he was willing to give her his heart.

The weight of this feeling was too much. It stirred a complex storm of emotions in Su Yuxuan, who had once believed that after being betrayed by her family, she would never care about anyone again. Unable to find the words, she opened her full lips after a long pause and simply said, “I absolutely will.”

Ye Chen smiled in satisfaction. Mainly because he felt the timing was right. The previous hesitation was because he feared that after giving her the precious Glazed Purification Water and Ancient Jade, Su Yuxuan would think that he would give her anything she wanted simply because he had valuable things.

In case there was no critical hit, that fifty-fold feedback from Su Yuxuan would not be enough. Now, the timing seemed to be just right. But there was still one last spark to ignite.

Ye Chen stood up, opening his clothes. His perfect, steel-like chest muscles revealed themselves. A blood-red mark appeared on his chest.

As the mark deepened, Ye Chen slowly spoke, “My heart has another name—Exquisite Heart. This heart can enhance the body’s recovery, boost comprehension, amplify spells, and double their power…”

Su Yuxuan’s eyes widened in disbelief.

Another bloodline Divine Ability? How is this possible? The Destruction Eye was one before. How talented does Ye Chen have to be to awaken two Divine Abilities by himself?

Even though Su Yuxuan knew Ye Chen wouldn’t joke about something like this, she still couldn’t believe it. When Ye Chen opened his chest, showing no blood stains, a translucent heart, as flawless as a precious jewel, still beating strongly, slowly floated out.

Su Yuxuan stared at the heart, feeling the immense power within it. Her mind was consumed with shock.

Ye Chen’s face turned pale, but he still managed a faint smile, his breath weak as he spoke, “Actually, thinking about it, giving you my heart isn’t so bad. If I’m not here, at least my heart will remain, always with you! From now on, every heartbeat will be for you! Go ahead and refine it!”
