C66 – Lost in Love!
Guo Fan pondered, ‘Is it even appropriate for someone your age to be engrossed in playing games?’ Clearly, these words were meant to exaggerate the gravity of Guo Fan’s actions.
Taking hold of her hand, Guo Fan confessed, “I concede that I am to blame. I’ve been fickle and inconsistent, but I genuinely have feelings for you…”
“Wuuu… Wuuu… Who said I don’t like you?!” Su Feng pounded the ground and paused, giving him a fierce look. She retorted in frustration, “You like any pretty face, don’t you?! You’ve probably told her you like her too!”
She suddenly pointed towards Yijun, who was standing nearby.
“……”
Damn it, it’s as if only women in love have the lowest IQ, and the same women, when caught in adultery, suddenly have the highest IQ, how could you have possibly guessed this?!
Guo Fan found himself caught between laughter and exasperation. “If I were genuinely attracted to the one who looks the best, well, that person happens to be you. I might be a bit of a lech, but I’ve had… well, those thoughts for a while now. Why would I wait until now? The last time you and Yaling were interrupted, it must have bothered you. I’ve been waiting for you to come to your own conclusion about it.”
Su Feng appeared slightly taken aback. She mumbled with her head down, “I’ve come to a conclusion. I was ready to… give myself to you just now, but you dashed out and… cheated on me!”
As she spoke the last sentence, her voice rose, and she angrily pinched Guo Fan’s waist.
“Hiss…” Guo Fan clenched his teeth in pain, but how could he dispel his anger in this situation? He just had to endure it.
Eventually, Su Feng couldn’t hold onto her anger any longer. She snorted and released her grip, the urge to rub her hand overtaking her, though she swiftly retracted it, remembering she was still upset.
Guo Fan caught this subtle motion and felt a sense of relief. He explained, “Yijun was conceived using a combination of my blood and her mother’s heart, along with the Reincarnation Lotus and her primordial spirit. You might have heard of this method.”
Su Feng found herself completely taken aback. A small sigh of relief escaped her heart as the story’s twists and turns caught her attention, causing her to instinctively nod.
Guo Fan let out a sigh. “For some unknown reason, her mother kept her hidden for years. Only recently did she send her to me, treating her like a gift but having no idea how she raised her. Well, that’s the story. I never imagined it would be like this…”
An expression of reluctance painted his face as he drew Yijun closer, patting her head. “This child seems to be quite sheltered from the world. She didn’t know much and was influenced badly by her mother.”
Yijun eyed him curiously, unable to fathom why he adopted such a tone of regret and helplessness, even saying negative things about her mother. To Su Feng, the young girl’s expression seemed rather naive.
Using a living person as a gift… it didn’t sound like a morally sound approach. What’s more, the covert teaching over many years indicated ulterior motives. This woman must have intended to use this as leverage! Her intentions were sinister! Incredibly malicious!
Initially, she cursed inwardly and painted a picture of a wicked woman in her mind. Su Feng took a deep breath, realizing that the key here wasn’t the child, but her mother. She inquired, “Who is her mother?”
Guo Fan felt no need for further secrecy and disclosed, “Li Xieren, the Rakshasa Enchantress Li Xieren.”
Su Feng was left in shock. “Holy Maiden of the Devil Cult?”
The enormity of this revelation was completely unexpected.
These few words encapsulated countless scenes of carnage, oceans of blood, and uncountable remains reduced to ashes. Among the individuals associated with the Demon Inquiring Cult, if anyone was renowned, it wouldn’t be the Cult Master, but rather this holy lady.
The terror she instilled far surpassed that of other demon sects, a thousandfold, even a hundredfold. It was rumored that anyone who dared to gaze upon her would meet a swift death by torture. The sects she visited were all wiped out; the rivers ran red with blood, but this represented only a fraction of her dreadfulness.
This love rival was of such an alarming magnitude that it brought forth a sense of despair.
A sudden realization struck Su Feng, connecting the dots. Her eyes widened. “Over these years, you infiltrated the Devil Cult, and they discovered your true identity. Then, she fell for you and trapped you within the Devil Cult?!”
Guo Fan “……”
He carefully arranged his thoughts, then sighed and opted to relinquish the argument.
If she wanted to accuse him, she could go ahead. At least she could wrap it up, right?
