Chapter 296: Tangled and Intense Love
Wang Shouren was heartbroken when he saw Luo Ying's embarrassment. He said in a suppressed tone, "I'll deal with this first. I'll discuss Hua Yuchen's matter when I get back."
Wang Shouren brought Luo Ying to Emperor Lu Gui. When Emperor Lu Gui saw him holding Luo Ying's hand, he suddenly realized what was happening and said politely, "Oh! I know. You are her master, Lord Cangmo, right?"
Wang Shouren looked at Lu Guihuang and replied: "I am not only her master, but also..."
Seeing Wang Shouren so calm and composed, Lu Guihuang's heart suddenly rose to his throat and he couldn't help asking, "Or what?"
Wang Shouren said arrogantly: "He is still her lover from ten million years ago."
Lu Guihuang was completely shocked and asked, "You...you...the legend in the heavens is that your hair turned white overnight for the woman you loved ten million years ago. Could that woman be...Luo Ying?"
Lu Guihuang couldn't help but look at Luo Ying waiting for her confirmation, but Luo Ying remained silent.
Lu Guihuang felt as if thousands of sharp blades were piercing his heart, and asked Luo Ying tremblingly: "Is what he said true? Are you the person he has been waiting for ten million years?" Luo Ying nodded.
Lu Guihuang looked at Luo Ying and asked her heartbreakingly: "Do you love him too?"
Luo Ying didn't know how to answer this question. She was full of contradictions. If she answered that she loved Lord Cangmo, it would undoubtedly give Lord Cangmo room for imagination. If she didn't choose Lord Cangmo in the future, it would hurt him more. How would she explain to Hua Yuchen in the future? If she answered that she didn't love him, it would also deeply hurt Lord Cangmo's heart.
Wang Shouren pulled Luo Ying behind him and said, "If she didn't love me, why would she come down to earth to help me overcome my tribulations?"
Lu Guihuang collapsed instantly and said to Wang Shouren out of control: "I want her to tell me in person, otherwise I won't believe it."
Luo Ying looked at the two of them, as if a fish bone was choking his throat, and he stammered, "I...I..."
Shao Hanyue and Xiao Qingxiu arrived and found a strong smell of gunpowder in the hall. Shao Hanyue quickly pulled Luo Ying over and said to them, "Don't force her anymore!"
Wang Shouren saw Luo Ying's hesitation and felt extremely distressed. He frowned and said to Luo Ying in a suppressed tone, "I came here today to discuss marrying you."
Emperor Lu Gui was shocked when he heard his words and stood there in a daze. Luo Ying pulled Wang Shouren and whispered, "Master, I know you love me! But you are going through the tribulation in the mortal world now. To go through the tribulation of love, you must find a mortal woman to marry in order to succeed!"
Wang Shouren said stubbornly: "I don't care, I only want you, I don't want anyone else except you. Even if I have to suffer in this world for generations, I will never experience love with anyone else."
Seeing his resolute attitude, Luo Ying could not say anything more, so she could only hold his hand and coax him, "Master, how about this? You have parents in the mortal world now, and this world is very particular about parents' orders and matchmaker's words. You go back and discuss it with them first, and we can also discuss what to do. We will meet again in a few days to discuss the specific plan, okay?"
Wang Shouren thought what Luo Ying said made sense, nodded and left with satisfaction. Luo Ying saw Wang Shouren off and returned to the hall. She saw Lu Guihuang staring at her with burning eyes. She tried to avoid his eyes and went inside. But she was stopped by Lu Guihuang. Shao Hanyue and Xiao Qingxiu looked at each other and left tactfully.
Lu Guihuang grabbed her hand and asked her excitedly: "This is why you rejected me again and again, right?"
Luo Ying sighed and said in a suppressed tone: "I don't know how to explain this to you. Anyway, don't put your mind on me anymore."
Luo Ying raised his head and glanced at Lu Guihuang, then said solemnly, "Let me send you back to heaven first! Otherwise, if you stay here, you will get deeper and deeper into trouble."
When Lu Guihuang heard her words, his defenses were instantly broken and he felt extremely distressed. He pushed Luo Ying to the corner, put one arm around her waist, and lifted her face with the other hand, and asked her excitedly, "Are you so eager to get rid of me?"
Luo Ying turned her head away and dared not look him in the eye. Lu Guihuang straightened her face, approached her, forced her to look at him, and said tremblingly: "We have been together in the mortal world for 12 years. Don't you have any feelings for me at all? Have you never been moved by me?"
Luo Ying was lost in thought as she looked into his affectionate eyes, recalling every moment they had spent together over the past 12 years, and recalling that day when they were looking at the packaging of Peach Blossom Wine, they were so close that the sparks almost ignited, and Luo Ying's heart began to waver.
Lu Guihuang was completely captivated by her blurred eyes. The emotions that had been pent up in his heart for 12 years, like a dormant volcano, finally erupted violently at this moment. He could no longer suppress his strong love for her, and could not help but lean over and kiss Luo Ying deeply on the lips. At that moment, time seemed to freeze, and the whole world was left with only the two of them. That kiss was so deep and passionate, just like the explosion of their long-pent-up emotions.
Luo Ying suddenly remembered that he was Hua Yuchen's best friend, and instantly came to his senses. He pushed him away and uttered a few words in a suppressed voice: "No... We have crossed the line!"
Luo Ying looked at him and said sadly, "I can't have such thoughts about you."
Lu Guihuang asked with a heartache: "Why can't I have it? Am I not worthy? Am I not worthy of you?"
Luo Ying felt a pang in her heart when she heard what he said. With tears in her eyes, she said painfully, "No... I don't deserve it... You have silently devoted yourself to me for 12 years, and I have seen and remembered it all. I know I owe you too much, and I can't give you the result you want, so I have to keep my distance from you, and I can't let you get deeper and deeper, and I can't hurt you anymore."
Lu Guihuang roared at her: "I don't need you to feel guilty about me, why can't you accept my love for you?"
Luo Ying said to him excitedly: "How can I accept this? I can't give you the result you want. I can't give you any more room for imagination."
Lu Guihuang asked with a heartache: "Just because your master has loved you for ten million years? So you can't accept me, right?"
Luo Ying remained silent. Lu Guihuang tightly grasped her arms and said excitedly, "Just now I asked you if you loved him, but you didn't dare to give me a definite answer. This means that you are still uncertain about your love for him. So why are you so eager to reject me?"
Luo Ying looked at him and wanted to tell him about himself and Hua Yuchen, but he didn't know how to start. He stopped talking and said, "I..."
Lu Guihuang hugged her tightly in his arms. He was afraid that she would reject him directly, so he quickly said to her: "Don't rush to reject me. Even if you don't choose someone in the end, I still have a chance. As long as you are not married, I will not give up on you."
Luo Ying frowned, looked up at him and said with a sob: "Why are you doing this? You will only get deeper and deeper into trouble!"
Lu Guihuang covered her lips with his hand to stop her from talking. He looked at her affectionately and said, "From the day I decided to go to the military camp to find you, there was no turning back. After 12 years of living together day and night, I have fallen deeply in love with you. Don't ask me to leave anymore. I can't live without you. No matter what choice you make, I will always be by your side."
Luo Ying was so moved by his words that her heart ached and tears flowed like rain. She didn't know how to resist his deep affection.
At night, the four of them gathered together to discuss countermeasures. Shao Hanyue spoke first and asked, "According to the previous two tribulations of Lord Cangmo, he failed because he refused to undergo the tribulation of love. As long as he refuses to undergo the tribulation of love, no matter how much contribution he makes in this mortal world, he will not be able to return to heaven!"
Xiao Qingxiu looked at Luo Ying and said in a suppressed tone, "Lord Cangmo is really too infatuated with Ying Shuai. He waited for Ying Shuai for ten million years and froze the North Sea for Ying Shuai, breaking the rules of heaven. He even refused to go through the tribulation of love with other people..."
Luo Ying frowned and said in a suppressed tone, "Anyone who wants to go through a tribulation in the mortal world, or a tribulation of love, must find a mortal woman to marry in order to succeed! Whether he is willing or not, he must find a mortal woman to marry him."
When Emperor Lu Gui heard Luo Ying's words, his eyebrows were overjoyed and he said excitedly, "You mean you don't have to go through the emotional tribulation with him yourself?"
