Sigh …
Chu Rui could not help but sigh as he looked at Long Xia, who seemed lifeless even though her eyes were open. There was no color in her originally bright eyes at all. He sighed again as he looked at the Heart of Prohibition that had absorbed a portion of her mental power.
The power of the stars and moon in the Heart of Prohibition was obtained by merging with the Chain of Stars and Moon. The power of the Chain of Stars and Moon came from the lovers, Tianxing and Lianyue. It was a souvenir that Chu Rui had given to Tianxing and Lianyue in order to thank him for freeing them from the ruins of the fallen Atlantis. It was also a treasure.
After a few ups and downs, Chu Rui had become stronger and stronger, and the treasures around him had also increased. However, the Chain of Stars and Moon had never left his body for even a moment, and he did not have the slightest intention of giving it up. Even though its power was no longer of much use to him, wearing it was equivalent to taking up limited resources for nothing, and occupying the "equipment slot" of the "necklace". This was because to Chu Rui, the Chain of Stars and Moon was not only a remembrance of Tianxing and Lianyue, but also a testimony of his journey with the girls, a proof of his true feelings.
The appearance of the Heart of Prohibition put Chu Rui in a dilemma. He could not give up the Chain of Stars and Moon, but the Heart of Prohibition was a part of the Prohibition Set. Fortunately, the Heart of Prohibition had merged with the Chain of Stars and Moon, and it was the best of both worlds.
The Chain of Stars and Moon, the Love of the Stars and Moon, was a special energy that was formed by the touching feelings of Tianxing and Lianyue. It surpassed the elemental energy, and was independent of the energy of the Heavenly Way, the energy of faith, and the energy of morality. As long as they treated each other sincerely, they could absorb the mental power of the opposite sex, and communicate with each other through their souls. They could even borrow its power to break the shackles of time and space, surpass all limits, and be instantly teleported to each other's side.
This was a heaven-defying ability. Chu Rui had relied on this ability to save his life several times. The most important thing was that he had passed the test of the four Holy Beasts! However, in order to obtain this ability, the most important thing was that the woman had to fall in love with the possessor, which was Chu Rui. Only then would the power of her mind be accepted.
They had only met a few times, but Long Xia actually fell in love with him. This made Chu Rui's expression become very complicated. Adoration wasn't love, but it was deep affection. Chu Rui was deeply shocked, but what was even more shocking was that he had just killed a Heavenly Dipper Sect disciple who had been with her for so long, her fellow disciples, but her feelings for him were still there.
"Don't worry, I'll protect you. I won't let anyone hurt you!"
Chu Rui sat on the bed. Reaching out, he gently wiped the blood off Long Xia's face and helped her tidy up her messy hair. He caressed Long Xia's pale and bloodless face and suddenly felt his heart ache. Even though she didn't say it, Chu Rui knew that she had helped him a lot in secret. Putting everything else aside, this princess, his fiancée in name, had put in a lot of effort in the construction of Di Sky City. Otherwise, the Emperor's side wouldn't have been settled so easily, and the construction of Di Sky City wouldn't have been so smooth.
"I've let you down regarding this matter! Xia 'er, don't be like this. I have my own difficulties. Now that we are in the Demon's Den, you must pull yourself together. Even if you don't think for yourself, you should think for your aged father, as well as your master and sect who have lost many disciples. Once the matter here is settled, I will give you and Heavenly Dipper Sect an explanation. Don't torture yourself, alright? "
Chu Rui caressed Long Xia's face gently. His tone was unprecedentedly gentle.
A ripple flashed across Long Xia's eyes!
"This is the Battlefield of the Gods and Demons. Everywhere is filled with murderous intent. We can face the threat of death at any time. It's even more so since we are in the camp of the Demons. Everyone here is a group of demons and evildoers who kill without batting an eyelid. I have a very important mission, and I can't reveal any flaws. However, if you continue like this, you will definitely die of exhaustion. If that's the case, I might as well bring you and kill our way out. Since we are going to die anyway, I'd rather die with a bang than watch you die in front of me like this. "
Rui continued to speak. His other hand grabbed Long Xianyou's incomparably cold hand. His expression sank as he felt her current body temperature, which was akin to that of a dead person.
Long Xia's expression changed!
"Even though we're not married yet, since we're already engaged and have a marriage contract, then you're my wife. This is something that no one can change. I admit that the reason why I agreed to the marriage between you and the Emperor wasn't because of feelings. It was because the marriage alliance with the royal family and the royal family would benefit me greatly. It was all for the sake of benefits! "
When Chu Rui said this, Long Xia's expression changed slightly.
"Humans do things with emotions! Even though I am naturally cold-blooded and ruthless, I am also naturally flirtatious and can't bear to see good things in women. I admit that I am very shameless. However, I can't control myself because of love. I can't control myself at all. After meeting you and getting to know each other, even though we haven't reached the stage of knowing each other, I know all the things that you have done for me behind my back. I don't love you, but I like you. I really like you. At first, I liked your appearance and identity. Then, I liked your silent sacrifice and dedication. Now, I like you as a person and your heart. I like a woman called Long Xia, and not the genius of Tiangang Sect, the princess of Dragon Dynasty, the proud daughter of God called Long Xia! "
Just as Chu Rui said, I can't control myself because of love. Chu Rui's heart was cold. However, at this moment, he didn't know other people and enemies. Towards his own people, the people around him, and the people he loved, he could never be ice- cold. He spoke these words with great emotion.
As an assassin, he had to play different roles at any time and place for the sake of his mission. Chu Rui could be said to be extremely good at acting. He was definitely at the level of a Best Actor. However, once he returned to life and faced the people he cared about, he couldn't return to the state of a Best Actor. He could only pretend to be cold to cover up the awkwardness and even shyness in his heart. He had said a lot of mushy words, and they were directed at different women. However, those were all fake. Although he said sweet words, he sneered in his heart and was as cold as ice. But now, these words were really from the bottom of his heart.
Long Xia's expression changed even more obviously! Obviously, Chu Rui's words from the bottom of his heart had deeply moved her!
