Venerated Venomous Consort
chapter-1718

"I loved you, and I knew that I could be with you until the very end. After you pass away, I will be immortalized. But we will have a whole life to stay together, just like an ordinary couple..."

"But Xijiu, I never thought that you were the new King Star. At that time, I turned myself into Si Chen to be with you and help you navigate out of the Dark Forest. In the Dark forest, you did something that only a new King Star is capable of. You could see the starry sky in the Dark Forest, and you were also capable of seeing the different colors of eight mountains... At first, when I came to know your identity, I was very shocked and disappointed. Of course, I was happy for you… but I had to change my plan because of your identity. You were no longer a mortal; you are the new King Star! This meant that your lifespan would be as long as mine... If I marry you, the hundred years of our marriage will just be a small number to you. After the hundred years, you will be sad as you will witness my departure... After that, in your long-lasting lifespan, maybe you will meet someone new who could run away with you…"

Di Fuyi held her hand and said, " Xijiu, I was very selfish at that time because you were the only woman I loved in my entire life, and I wanted to be the only man you loved in your life… I don't want to see another man enter your life after I passed away. If that were the case, I'd rather let you go…"

"So Xijiu, I wanted to let you go that time, and I really did that. I just wished to protect you and let you grow up as The Lord… But Xijiu, I failed. I wanted to hold back my feelings but I could not. I wished to see you, but when I saw you with Long Siye, I started to get jealous. Long Siye is a heaven's gift disciple; according to the rules of this world, the four heaven's gift disciples that reach level nine will fall with the old King Star. In other words, Long Siye and a few of them will be following me to our doom. So at that time, I stopped Long Siye from falling in love with you, I even hoped that you loved me instead of Long Siye…"

"Xijiu, I was in a dilemma; my mind wanted me to let go of you, but my emotions kept finding excuses to be with you. You surely thought that I was crazy…" Di Fuyi stared at Gu Xijiu's face. He sighed. "Xijiu, I admit that I am selfish… It was not easy for me to fall so deeply in love with someone. I did not want to let go so easily… and at that time, you said that you did not care whether love lasted for a long time; you just wanted to fall in love before it's too late. I admit that I felt calmer after you said this..."

"I've seen a lot of relationships become weaker after marriage. Couples would fight with each other and decide not to love anymore... I was thinking, maybe years after our marriage, we might lose the passion too, maybe we will break up before I fall. So I decided that I want to treasure the moment now and be selfish, and I am going to get you by my side…."

"After that, you finally realize that you had fallen in love with me and decided to be with me... I really treasured this opportunity and agreed to get engaged with you to make you my fiancee. But I never thought that the Love Bracelet would show up at that time. I was very happy as the appearance of Love Bracelet which meant that our relationship is predestined; a predestined love is blessed. I started to think that I have chosen the right one; even God wants us to be together. In the beginning, I did not care about death, but as I spent more time with you, I started to hope that I can live longer so that I can be with you..."
