Good heavens, the ancestor has gone to confess his love again!

The speaker was Bai Suxin.

Her figure remained upright and ethereal; standing there, she made the mountains and rivers pale in comparison and the stars and moon lose their luster. All the splendor of the world was gathered in her, untouched by the dust of the mundane world.

But at this moment, those usually aloof and indifferent eyes, which seemed to have seen through the ways of the world, were now churning with a raging storm, filled with utter disbelief.

It concerned her cultivation of the Supreme Ruthless Realm. Since the Primordial Secret Realm closed, she had been guarding the entrance of the secret realm day and night, rain or shine, hoping to see that tall figure break through the light barrier and walk out again.

Even though the laws of the secret realm had completely dissipated and the entrance was completely sealed, she still stood alone outside the desolate secret realm, guarding it for seven days and seven nights.

All her waiting came to naught, and she was ultimately forced to accept the cruel conclusion—

Xu Pingsheng has perished in the Primordial Secret Realm, completely lost to the world, with no hope of return.

I never imagined that I would see this person, who should have perished, again in this desolate place on the border between humans and demons!

A huge wave of doubt and shock washed over me.

Why did Xu Pingsheng leave the Primordial Secret Realm unharmed, and why was he abandoned here in such a sorry state by the Empress's personal maid, who traveled hundreds of millions of miles across the entire human territory?

Did they offend Empress Yukihime?

Or did I offend the Yin-Yang Emperor?

A thousand thoughts swirled in her mind. Bai Suxin moved slightly, her figure like a flowing cloud, and she glided to the locust tree. She bent down to carefully examine Xu Pingsheng's condition.

One glance was enough to make his eyes widen in fury!

awful!

That's horrible!

She clearly remembered how spirited and peerless Xu Pingsheng was in the Primordial Secret Realm!

At that time, he possessed unparalleled cultivation and an awe-inspiring pride, overpowering Ye Linxiao, who was at the ninth level of the Quasi-Emperor realm. Even the renowned young woman Qin Jianjia was utterly defeated in front of him.

But the person before me had long lost all his former sharpness.

His body was so thin that he was just skin and bones, frail and weak, as if a gust of evening wind could blow him over.

His face was deathly pale, devoid of any color, as if his entire body had been hollowed out...

What's even more chilling is that all his cultivation has been completely dissipated, and his meridians have been broken inch by inch, leaving him a cripple.

Although the injuries seemed to have almost healed, the scars left on his body were still clearly visible.

At first glance, they look like whip marks from severe torture, but upon closer inspection, they lack the gruesome, lacerations of typical whip wounds. Instead, they are light and ambiguous in color, layered upon layered, covering the neck, collarbone, chest, abdomen, and even the inner thighs...

Instead, they look like kiss marks of varying depths?

Bai Suxin was slightly taken aback, and an absurd thought popped into her mind uncontrollably.

Is it...

Could it be that Xu Pingsheng was killed by being dried up?

This thought was utterly absurd, and she quickly suppressed it.

But the overwhelming heartache that followed drowned out all her thoughts, leaving her no time to consider the absurdity, only a heart full of bitterness and pain.

pain!

It hurts so much!

A scalding tear, without warning, slid down from her cool eyes, hitting the bluestone ground and shattering silently.

Immediately afterwards, the second and third tears fell one after another.

The warm touch startled Bai Suxin from her daze. She looked up abruptly, raised her hand to touch her burning eyes, her heart filled with astonishment and confusion.

Why am I feeling heartache?

Why would I...shed tears for him?

She murmured to herself, her voice trembling slightly.

Bai Suxin looked down at the unconscious Xu Pingsheng, her fingertips trembling slightly as she gently pressed her suddenly agitated chest.

A thought that would overturn her understanding slowly surfaced in her mind.

Could it be... that she has already fallen in love?

But how is that possible?

She had only spent two days with Xu Pingsheng, and had only been kissed once and had her waist hugged briefly. She hadn't even reached home base yet, so how could she possibly have developed feelings for him?

If one truly falls in love, then...

Was Xu Pingsheng chosen by the Supreme Being, who was ruthless and heartless?

Or did his own body choose Xu Pingsheng?

Bai Suxin stood there, stunned, as the evening breeze ruffled her plain dress and her hair fluttered in the wind.

She was completely unaware of this, and fell into deep thought and confusion.

She suddenly recalled the various unusual events of the past three months.

After concluding that Xu Pingsheng was "dead," her cultivation was completely shackled. The Supreme Heart Sutra, which she used to be able to operate freely, could not suppress the restlessness and emptiness surging in her heart no matter how many times it circulated.

Especially in the quiet, lonely nights, when all is still, the scene from that day would uncontrollably reappear in her mind—

Xu Pingsheng's deep kiss, warm with breath, and the burning sensation of his palm around her waist—that breathtaking, electrifying feeling lingered in her mind.

What made her even more embarrassed and helpless was that she would always unconsciously recall the way Xu Pingsheng and Qin Jianjia were entwined in the Primordial Secret Realm.

Especially those zealous and insane forces that make people blush...

Countless times in the dead of night, in her dreams, she was out of place, having taken Qin Jianjia's place and personally experiencing Xu Pingsheng's inhuman madness!

Sometimes she even thought, that's what...

A real battle!

But every morning when she woke up, she was filled with deep shame as she looked at the tattered sheets and blankets.

Who is she?

A true prodigy, the most beautiful young woman of the human race, the daughter of the Holy Lord of Lingxiao, and the youngest Great Sage in history!!

But now, these vulgar and obscene images of male-female lust linger in my mind every day, and I can't shake them off.

Is there no such thing as pure love in this world?

Is the outward sign of being in love... wanting a man?

She was completely baffled.

The words of my mother, Bai Zhixi, suddenly came to mind clearly, each word echoing in my heart.

Just three months after she believed that Xu Pingsheng had perished, she was filled with confusion because her Dao heart was restless and her cultivation was hindered. She made a special trip to her mother, Bai Zhixi, to seek answers.

She asked, "Mother, what is love? If you fall in love with someone, how do you know when you started to feel those feelings?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhixi merely glanced at her, assuming it was simply a sign that her daughter was encountering obstacles in her cultivation and had become distracted, and didn't take it to heart. She casually replied:

Love is a mysterious and inexplicable thing, impossible to find, without any reason, and doesn't require much time.

"Some fall in love at first sight, some develop deep affection over time, and some waste half their lives before finally realizing that their true love has always been by their side."

"But love in this world is ultimately traceable. When you feel emotional ups and downs for someone, joy and sorrow because of them, think of them day and night, and can't forget them, that is the beginning of falling in love."

A word to awaken the dreamer.

Bai Suxin's delicate body suddenly trembled.

After a long silence, she suppressed her turbulent emotions and continued to ask softly:

"Mother, if the person who stirs my emotions and makes me think of them day and night is no longer by my side, how can I quickly fall in love with someone else and sever this illusory obsession?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhixi instantly lost her casual expression.

He frowned slightly and looked at his daughter with surprise.

What does it mean when my own daughter says this?

Could it be that she doesn't like her fiancé Xiao Bufan and wants to cheat on him?

But then she chuckled to herself, realizing she had been overthinking it.

My daughter is aloof and stubborn, with an extremely pure heart. Once she falls in love, she is devoted to him to the death and will not turn back even if she hits a wall. How could she be easily moved or casually transfer her affections?

It seems he was just confused about his spiritual practice and was just speaking carelessly.
