Chapter 32 : Yu Ling’er Gathers Her Strength

At this moment, Ye Xuan really wanted to burst into laughter. However, he restrained himself. After all, he had to maintain his current persona in front of Yu Ling’er, keeping a stern face. But inside, his heart was blooming with joy, especially after thoroughly examining the rewards from the system.

The three rewards were incredibly exhilarating for him at this stage. The Immortal Spirit Root… it was said that with good fortune, it wouldn’t take many years to cultivate into an immortal of the highest caliber. In addition to the Immortal Spirit Root, there was the Supreme Sword Bone that could make all swords in the world submit to him.

And not just that, the third reward was even more remarkable – the Sword Heart of Selflessness. What was the Sword Heart of Selflessness? It was a heart coveted by swordsmen in any world, immensely elevating the prowess of sword techniques.

As a transmigrator, Ye Xuan knew his shortcomings. He lacked the heart of a true warrior, meaning that even with great cultivation, his actual performance might not be impressive. But now, with the Sword Heart of Selflessness, he no longer had to worry about lacking in gravitas.

The system’s choice to provide hidden rewards was understandable. Previously, so many experts in the Taihua Immortal Gate had attested that he lacked a spiritual root. If he suddenly displayed a powerful spiritual root, it would be hard to explain. He still needed to mingle in the Taihua Immortal Gate without raising suspicion.

However, despite the fantastic rewards, it was curious that none of them directly increased his cultivation level. It seemed that no matter how promising his future, he still had to diligently progress his cultivation step by step.

“Why does it feel like he’s holding back a laugh…?” At this moment, Yu Ling’er was still waiting for Ye Xuan’s reaction to her confession. Did he believe her or not? She needed a response from him.

His sudden suppression of laughter and the shift of his gaze away from her made her wonder – was he mocking her? Dismissing her concerns about losing face, she earnestly said to Ye Xuan, “Ye Xuan… actually, I like you… Can’t you see it?”

If it were the past, and a young, beautiful girl confessed to him, Ye Xuan would undoubtedly be overjoyed. But now, he felt even happier. Why shouldn’t he be? In this world, he could openly accept Yu Ling’er’s confession without fearing any consequences.

He was not one to shy away from indulging in the affections of women. However, he had already established his character in the script. If he deviated from the script now and immediately accepted Yu Ling’er’s confession, she would likely start doubting everything.

Is the plot even real? Despite the world of cultivation and its reverence for immortal beings, if something unrealistic happened, Yu Ling’er would surely become suspicious. Was Beidou Star Lord genuine? Were the events she was shown real? And if they were real, why did they differ from reality?

If Yu Ling’er harbored such doubts, it would spell real danger for Ye Xuan. Yu Ling’er might be naive, but she was certainly not foolish. This was why Ye Xuan had tried to align his script as closely as possible with the world’s reality. Even though he now understood that the script depicted actual events that occurred in a timeline before Yu Ling’er’s rebirth – events in which he was involved – if Yu Ling’er started to suspect the authenticity of the script due to current realities, it would put him in jeopardy.

Ye Xuan could not take such a risk. Despite his longing to accept Yu Ling’er’s affectionate advances, perhaps even hoping for some indescribable developments, he knew he must exercise restraint. At the moment, he couldn’t withstand a single strike from Yu Ling’er.

Thus, facing her confession, Ye Xuan scoffed coldly, shaking his head, “When exactly will you stop toying with me?! I’m just a person without a spiritual root. There are many like me in this world. What have I done to deserve this mockery from you, to the extent of claiming you like me?”

Hearing Ye Xuan’s response, Yu Ling’er’s face turned bitter. She had anticipated this. If Ye Xuan had believed her confession so readily, that would have been truly problematic. Once she treated him indifferently, and now his indifference made her regret deeply.

“I’m not toying with you, Ye Xuan. I really do like you,” Yu Ling’er said. “I know you won’t believe anything I say now… I don’t ask for your belief at this moment, but time will prove everything.”

Ye Xuan just snorted softly, choosing not to engage further with Yu Ling’er.

Seeing Ye Xuan’s reaction, Yu Ling’er felt a profound sense of sorrow. She finally understood how desperately the past Ye Xuan must have wished for a kind word from her, but all she ever gave him were cold remarks and disdainful glances. This was indeed the bitter fruit of her own making. Could she really make him fall in love with her again?

No, she couldn’t afford to be pessimistic any longer! Suddenly, a realization struck her. Her past indifference to Ye Xuan meant that no matter how much he loved her, he couldn’t sway her feelings. This was a fact.

Therefore, Ye Xuan’s attitude had always been pessimistic. By every conceivable measure, she was superior to him, and if she chose not to like him, there was always a possibility she never would. If she hadn’t known of his genuine affection and sacrifices for her, her attitude towards him might never have changed.

But now, she understood what love was. She had experienced the agony of loving someone through her interactions with Ye Xuan. Loving someone turned out to be an incredibly intense and self-sacrificing emotion.

If Ye Xuan had been able to convey his love to her, perhaps she wouldn’t have misunderstood him later on. Ye Xuan couldn’t express his love to her due to his circumstances, but was she really powerless in showing her love to Ye Xuan?

Who was she? She was Yu Ling’er, a woman who had cultivated to immortality in just a few decades. Her beauty could rival even the most famous celestial maidens. How hard could it be for someone like her to convey her love to a man who appeared indifferent on the surface but had actually fallen for her at first sight? Not hard at all!

Yu Ling’er, stop being so pessimistic. You need to show confidence in front of Ye Xuan! Realizing this, Yu Ling’er’s spirit lifted significantly. Ye Xuan might not have had the chance to make her understand his love, but she certainly had plenty of opportunities to make him understand hers.

Sure, it might seem unfair to Ye Xuan, but that was the reality. In terms of spiritual roots, Ye Xuan had none, whereas she possessed a celestial-grade spiritual root, the closest to an Immortal Spirit Root. In terms of appearance, though Ye Xuan wasn’t bad, women generally had the upper hand in attractiveness.

In terms of cultivation, she had started from a young age and achieved immense accomplishments; if she wanted to cling to Ye Xuan, he couldn’t escape her.

She was like an unattainable swan, now willingly offered to him. Why should she belittle herself? Go for it, Yu Ling’er, you can definitely do it! With this newfound resolve, Yu Ling’er’s demeanor changed dramatically. She no longer wore a face of sorrow but was filled with determination and confidence.

Despite her inner turmoil and the daunting challenge ahead, Yu Ling’er knew she had the upper hand. She had the means and the opportunity to change the narrative, to transform Ye Xuan’s perception of her, from an unattainable dream to a tangible reality.

She had all the advantages – her unparalleled beauty, her impressive cultivation, and a heart now fully aware of love. It was time to make Ye Xuan see the depth of her feelings, to show him that her love was as profound and sincere as his had been.

Gone was the despondent and regretful Yu Ling’er; in her place stood a woman empowered by love and determination, ready to win back the heart of the man she had once so carelessly disregarded. Her journey to redemption and love was just beginning, and she was ready to face it with all her might.
