My front door leads to a comic strip

Chapter 227, Section 226: You Are All My Wings

As Gu Yuan broke the silence, the atmosphere in the warehouse immediately became heavy and subtle.

Celia's mind was in turmoil, with all sorts of thoughts rushing through her mind. She wondered what she should do if his answer disappointed her.

Should I maintain my pride and turn away, or...?

However, before she could sort out her thoughts, Gu Yuan had already walked up to her.

His tall figure completely blocked the sunlight streaming in from the window, enveloping Celia entirely in his shadow.

Gu Yuan lowered his head, his gaze calm and focused on her, as if trying to see right through her.

Celia's heart tightened.

"Are you... sincere?"

Gu Yuan finally spoke.

Celia took a deep breath of the air that carried his scent, forcing herself to lift her chin to meet Gu Yuan's scrutinizing gaze: "Of course it's true, what are you doubting?"

Gu Yuan's eyes flickered slightly, thinking that this was not to be taken for granted.

Just a moment ago, he even had the fleeting thought, "Could this be some kind of elaborate prank?"

Gu Yuan was silent for about three seconds, his gaze lingering on her stubborn face for a moment, before he spoke slowly: "I just feel that this is not in line with your personality."

"However, since you asked, I can answer you."

Celia's breath hitched, her heart pounding in her throat. It was here. The decisive moment had arrived.

However, at that moment, a thought flashed through my mind like lightning.

"Wait a moment!"

She almost made a fatal mistake!

If any of those crucial conversations were overheard by some foolish disciple, wouldn't Celia lose all dignity and face?

The idea of ​​two women sharing one husband is something that one must take the initiative in—and must not be known to outsiders before the matter is settled.

Seria quickly released her magic, carefully sensing her surroundings. Only after confirming that there wasn't even a mouse besides the two of them did she breathe a slight sigh of relief: "Go ahead and tell me."

Gu Yuan nodded, his attitude calm and unhurried: "First, let me answer your first question. In my view, there is no distinction between big and small."

"Because this would undoubtedly create the risk of internal competition, and I don't want to see anyone get hurt as a result."

O

"Moreover, this is unfair to some of the people who arrived earlier."

Celia immediately understood that the "first one" referred to Milialdt.

She couldn't help but frown, instinctively retorting, following a trait honed over millennia: "Why is it unfair? The strong should enjoy more; that's the way of the world. Just like now, you, who want to marry both of us—"

Her words came to an abrupt halt at that moment, because she suddenly realized a logical contradiction.

If one were to demand more based on one's own strength, it would undoubtedly directly harm Miliald's interests.

This, in fact, contradicts Gu Yuan's concept of "fairness".

More importantly————

If I were the strongest, that would be one thing, but in this relationship dominated by Gu Yuan—the true strongest is him.

Before the rules he set, my power, my reasoning, are utterly meaningless.

Not worth mentioning.

Seria stood there, suddenly feeling the weight of Gu Yuan's presence, making it hard for her to breathe.

Gu Yuan watched as Celia's face flashed with realization, resentment, and then a hint of humiliation and frustration—he knew that with her intelligence, she had already figured out the key.

"Have you figured it out?"

Like a punctured balloon, Celia slowly exhaled a helpless, frustrated breath, her voice dry: "—I understand."

Circumstances dictate her actions; for the first time, the rules she relied on for survival failed within the framework of the man's established rules.

She felt a little annoyed, but strangely, she wasn't as angry as she had imagined; instead, she felt a sense of relief.

"Good that you understand."

Gu Yuan's tone softened a bit, and his eyes became serious. "After all, you are all very important to me. If any one of you gets hurt, my heart will not be at ease."

These words involuntarily reminded Celia of her dream wedding.

At the time, I only thought it was a farce created by magic, but now, reflecting on it again with the reflection of Gu Yuan's words, I taste a completely different meaning.

A sudden realization dawned on her, as if a fog had been lifted: "So, that was a premonition?"

"From that time onward, was the thought of two people together already ingrained in his subconscious?"

Celia squeezed her eyes shut, pulling herself out of her memories and managing to calm her somewhat chaotic and embarrassed emotions.

She steered the conversation back to reality, asking her most pressing and crucial question: "—And the second question? How do you plan to answer it?"

She felt that the first answer regarding equality was a bit too lenient on this greedy guy, but given the circumstances, she couldn't refute it.

Besides, it's just her and Milie Alde right now, so she can barely accept it.

Gu Yuan fell into deep thought again. He did indeed need to be cautious about the issue of lifespan theory.

He was confident that he would still be alive a hundred years from now, and that he had room to maneuver whether by taking advantage of opportunities in the future world or by upgrading and extending his lifespan in the world of "Dungeon".

But saying things like "immortality" or "longevity" directly now always has an ominous feeling of setting a flag, and it sounds like a pie in the sky to fool girls, without any persuasiveness.

In that case, rather than making uncertain promises, it is better to wait for the third world to appear and bring a more definite opportunity.

After clarifying his thoughts, Gu Yuan made a decision and looked up to meet Celie's probing gaze: "I can only tell you the answer to this question after some time has passed."

Celia immediately raised her eyebrows, her golden eyes filled with a questioning look that seemed to say, "So you really want to get away with this?"

But Gu Yuan didn't give her a chance to interrupt or lash out. He continued in a calm and firm tone, "But I can assure you that when these thoughts about the future pop into my head, they are after careful consideration."

"I have considered your feelings, and I have been putting in real effort to address them. The speed at which I am improving my skills is the best proof of that."

Celia's question, which was on the tip of her tongue, was cut off by the second half of his words.

She stood there, stunned, her mind involuntarily recalling Gu Yuan's terrifying and illogical speed of power leap.

From initially needing to rely on strategy and special items to maneuver against her, to now being able to raze the Demon King's castle to the ground with a single sword strike—

The changes involved were far beyond the comprehension of ordinary humans, and even elves.

He wasn't just making empty promises; he was turning a seemingly impossible future into reality step by step at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.

Celia opened her mouth, but for a moment, she was speechless.

But soon, rational concerns took the lead.
