Chapter 2141: The Sage Awakens on the Altar VS the Tomb-Raider Woman (36)

Gu Shengyin had of course noticed Huang Bing’s gaze.

With the Divine Soul strength of a Demigod, any change in the surrounding environment could be sensed by them in an instant.

Let alone a stare as direct as Huang Bing’s?

Qing Yao immediately stated his position: "Other than you, I have never had any intimate relationship with any other woman."

Gu Shengyin still said nothing, just looked at him coolly.

Qing Yao continued, "And I never will, either!"

Seeing that Gu Shengyin still didn’t speak, Qing Yao looked ready to keep talking. Ancestor Huang He gave a soft cough.

He looked at Gu Shengyin. "Aunt Huang Tian is tired as well. Why don’t you go and rest for a while? Leave things here to us to handle."

The juniors in the back were still watching.

Gu Shengyin nodded slightly and left first.

Naturally, Qing Yao hurriedly followed her out.

Finding a place with no one around and talking things through properly was also a very good choice.

Gu Shengyin’s courtyard had been personally ordered and carefully prepared by Ancestor Huang He; the environment was quite elegant and serene.

As soon as she stepped through the door, she sensed a pair of arms around her waist.

Qing Yao kept his position of hugging her from behind, resting his head lightly against the side of her neck.

"Huang Tian, I, Qing Yao, can swear that other than you, I have never touched any other woman."

He waited for Gu Shengyin’s response, a little nervous.

Feeling the strength at her waist tighten, Gu Shengyin was secretly amused, but her expression didn’t change. "Oh."

What does "oh" mean?

Qing Yao suddenly felt a bit at a loss.

He had never been a man who was bad with words; in fact, so long as he felt like it, he could easily coax a girl into smiles with just one or two sentences.

The problem was, those had all been people who didn’t really matter.

In front of Huang Tian, he felt that all those Skills he’d mastered in the past for sweet-talking and coaxing people had completely vanished.

He was willing to bare his truest self for her to see.

Maybe... that’s what it means to care.

Thinking this, Qing Yao hugged the person in his arms even more tightly, and a hint of grievance slipped unconsciously into his words:

"I want to marry you and make you my Fox Queen. I like you, I want you to bear fox babies for me..."

"All of that is real!"

This time, Gu Shengyin gave him a response.

She said, "I believe everything you’re saying is true."

Joy flickered across Qing Yao’s face.

But Gu Shengyin’s tone shifted. "But that doesn’t mean that I also like you, or that I’m willing to be your Fox Queen, let alone give birth to any fox babies for you."

Qing Yao was stunned.

Gu Shengyin said, "Look, there were so many girls who liked you in the past. Their feelings were real too. But would you choose to be with them just because they truly liked you?"

Qing Yao fell silent.

Although Gu Shengyin spoke lightly, he still heard the implication hidden within.

In the end, it was still the trouble caused by his former self.

His Majesty the Mysterious Fox King had already begun reflecting on his own issues in his heart, but on the surface he absolutely could not back down an inch!

He said to Gu Shengyin, "I believe that on the Tianxuan Continent, you and I are the most well-matched pair."

He had only one request for Gu Shengyin.

"Wait for me, Huang Tian. If you can’t trust my past, then let time prove it."

"I can wait—wait until you see my sincerity with your own eyes."

Having said this much, Gu Shengyin felt it was enough.

She nodded, indicating she accepted this proposal.

"All right."

Qing Yao broke into a smile.

If she was willing to relent even a little, it meant there was not absolutely nothing of him in her heart.

As long as she didn’t feel nothing at all, he was confident that one day, she would truly accept him!
