Chapter 1725
Seeing her younger sister agree without hesitation, Lin Yuqiong's heart sank, and she frowned, asking, "Little sister, have you really thought this through?"
Although he was the elder brother, he always kept his sister's marriage in his heart and dared not take it lightly in the slightest.
“Brother, this matter… I want to talk to him myself.” Lin Yuyao lowered her eyes, her voice as soft as a whisper in the wind. “After all, I still don’t know if that big bad guy even cares about me. What if he doesn’t agree…”
At this point, she suddenly stopped talking, two blushes rising on her cheeks—after all, she was a young woman, and being so direct about such an important matter as marriage was ultimately undeniable, revealing her shyness.
"I'm a woman, and I don't care about face as much as men do. If I'm rejected, I'll accept it." She forced a nonchalant smile at her older brother, but before she could finish speaking, two lines of tears slid down her cheeks.
When the brother and sister were young, their father became obsessed with beautiful women, which caused their mother to lose her composure during her tribulation to become a true immortal, ultimately leading to her death and the dissipation of her spiritual power.
That past was like a thorn, making her despise cultivators who had multiple wives and concubines since childhood.
But fate played a cruel trick on her. As she grew up, she became entangled with Chen Xuan several times, and she had already fallen deeply in love with him. She originally planned to wait until she had achieved some success in her cultivation before going to find him, carrying this longing she had kept hidden for nearly thirty years.
Who would have thought that Qilin City would suddenly encounter a great calamity? The lords of several rival holy cities proposed a decisive battle to determine the winner, who would then form a marriage alliance with Qilin City—and the marriage partner was none other than Lin Yuyao.
This unexpected turn of events caught her completely off guard, forcing her to suppress her feelings of affection and lingering memories of Chen Xuan for the past thirty years when she saw him again.
Thinking of her helpless situation, and comparing it with Qing Tian Yu'er and the five others who were cherished by Chen Xuan, she finally couldn't suppress the indescribable feeling of conflict and grievance.
"Sigh, never mind." Lin Yuqiong ruffled his younger sister's hair and said with a bitter smile, "I'll go and talk to her. How can a young lady like you discuss such an important matter as marriage on her own? Wouldn't people look down on you if word got out? Don't worry, your older brother is here."
"Brother..." Lin Yuyao could no longer hold back and threw herself into her brother's arms, sobbing uncontrollably. Lin Yuqiong gently patted her back and shook his head slightly—all he could offer was this moment of protection.
"It's all because we're too weak..." he murmured, gazing at the deepening twilight outside the window, "If only we had Chen Xuan's strength..."
"I will definitely become stronger! I will definitely protect Qilin City and make it last forever!" Lin Yuyao raised her head from his embrace, her eyes filled with tears but revealing a stubbornness.
The brother and sister hadn't had such a heart-to-heart talk in a long time since they'd grown up. Looking at her younger sister's reddened eyes, Lin Yuqiong suddenly realized that she had truly grown up in the past thirty years.
As night deepened, the candlelight flickered in Lin Yuyao's room, casting her exquisite profile in shifting light and shadow.
Nine Chaos Crystals lay quietly on the table, their dark light swirling and emanating a rich aura of chaos. Beside them, a bottle of True Dragon Elixir exuded an even stronger power of True Dragon Origin.
She stared at the two items for a long time, then gritted her teeth, got up, and put the treasures into her storage bag.
She moved quietly, like a nimble cat at night, stepping out of the room and walking along the corridor deeper into the room, stopping in front of a tightly closed door.
dong dong dong-
"Who is it?" Chen Xuan's somewhat impatient voice came from inside the door, clearly indicating that his meditation had been disturbed.
Lin Yuyao pursed her lips, biting her red lips lightly with her pearly teeth, and whispered, "You big bad guy, open the door, I need to talk to you about something important."
The door creaked open, and Chen Xuan was clearly taken aback when he saw Lin Yuyao standing in the doorway—her eyes were red, as if she had just been crying.
He even subconsciously peeked out and glanced at Lin Yuqiong's room, only to breathe a slight sigh of relief when he saw that the door was tightly closed.
"Sister Yao'er, it's the middle of the night, isn't it inappropriate for a man and a woman to be alone in a room?" He deliberately raised his voice, not because he was afraid of anything, but because he didn't want to cause trouble for no reason.
Before he could finish speaking, Lin Yuyao suddenly covered his mouth with her hand, and a gentle force pushed him back into the room.
