Chapter 752: Feigning Retreat to Lure the Enemy!_1
Snow Lady stood at the peak, watching the man, bare-chested, speaking earnestly.
For a moment, she was at a loss for words.
Because what he said was true, it was indeed she who had suddenly come up the mountain, and she shouldn't blame him for acting inappropriately.
Luo Yu then waved his hands, exhibiting great magnanimity.
"Let it go, let it go."
"I won't blame you for the indecencies."
Snow Lady's eyes instantly bulged out, round with shock.
I, a pure maiden, acting indecently toward you, a messy man???
This is outrageous!
"What's the matter, coming here so late at night?"
Inside Luo Yu's cloak resided a great beauty, so naturally, he couldn't afford to entangle himself too much with Snow Lady.
Otherwise, a Shura Field would easily ensue.
Hearing Luo Yu's question, Snow Lady's demeanor suddenly became coy, silence taking over, her beautiful countenance blushing.
Yue Guan's light scattered upon the woman's white dress, making her appear incomparably beautiful, emitting a pure and cool noble aura.
"What's wrong?"
Luo Yu inwardly cursed, sensing trouble as he read the woman's expression.
"That... Brother Yu… Xue'er… Xue'er has some words she wants to say to you."
The Snow Lady stammered, her gaze flickering towards Luo Yu, somewhat evasive, yet somewhat eager.
Luo Yu was inwardly speechless.
Don't…
Don't do this to me.
Your sister just confessed to me, and I've just accepted.
If you confess to me now and I accept, won't your sister come out and eat me alive?
Isn't this bringing on a Shura Field?
If I don't accept, then Snow Lady will surely be heartbroken, a sight Luo Yu never wanted to see.
"Cough cough!"
Luo Yu coughed, interrupting Snow Lady's words.
"That... Xue'er."
"Brother Yu is really tired from cultivation today."
"How about you come tomorrow? Whatever it is, we can talk slowly then?"
Luo Yu had intended to persuade Snow Lady to leave for today, to properly discuss matters concerning the Ice Emperor's cold nest, but Snow Lady shook her head repeatedly.
"No… no way."
"Xue'er has mustered up a lot of courage to come here today; if I postpone it to tomorrow, I fear I won't have the courage anymore."
Luo Yu's eyes widened, his heart racing.
It was the first time he felt so nervous facing a woman's confession; whether to accept it or not, that was the question.
Luo Yu grimaced, forcing a wry smile:
"Xue'er, Brother Yu is really tired today."
"Tomorrow, there's no need for you to come; I will take the initiative to find you, alright?"
"Don't want to."
The evasive look in Snow Lady's eyes became more determined, as she seriously gazed at Luo Yu.
She let out a gentle puff of cold air.
She spoke, pausing after each word:
"Brother Yu, truthfully, I have always felt that my heart beats fiercely in your presence."
"My feelings towards you are completely different from those towards anyone else."
"I don't know what's wrong with me; when I can't see you, I feel uneasy, and when I do see you, even if we don't speak, I still feel a sense of comfort. Every time I think of how you've saved us, protected our people, I feel so fortunate and secretly thrilled."
Snow Lady pursed her red lips, her snow-white, radiant face now covered in a blush, bravely expressing these innermost feelings despite her shyness.
"Brother Yu, being with you is so delightful; I am happy with every additional word you say to Xue'er. These are the most genuine feelings in my heart, they can't be faked."
"Xue'er can feel herself sinking deeper and deeper, unable to extricate herself, not because I don't want to, but because I can't."
"But the more I feel this way, the more frightened Xue'er becomes."
At this point, the color drained from Snow Lady's lips, turning pale, with her hands clasped over her chest.
"Afraid that one day you might suddenly leave, and I won't be able to find you or see you again."
"So…"
"I must tell you what's in my heart today."
Once Snow Lady finished pouring out a series of words, she started to breathe heavily.
The pounding of her heart was so clear in the quiet night.
Luo Yu stood rooted to the spot, lost in thought, his mind stirred by the incoherent and somewhat foolishly candid confession of the Snow Lady.
They say sometimes a girl's blush is worth more than a lengthy dialogue.
But what if a girl's blush is coupled with a long, naively sincere confession, who wouldn't be moved?
Luo Yu's mind was indeed moved.
Because he could feel that the Snow Lady's feelings for him were pure and flawless, she truly liked him a lot.
The Snow Lady kept observing the man's expression.
Seeing that the man still hadn't responded, she started to grow anxious inside.
What's happening to Brother Yu?
Did I scare him, was it all too sudden?
It's all my fault for being too abrupt, without giving Brother Yu any time to prepare.
The Snow Lady's heart was in turmoil.
Gone was the icy demeanor of the Supreme Northern Emperor.
At that moment, Luo Yu finally spoke.
"Xue'er."
"Ah?"
The Snow Lady quickly raised her head: "What is it, Brother Yu? I'm listening."
Luo Yu sighed.
That single sigh wiped the smile from the Snow Lady's face, and her heart sank to the bottom.
"It's okay, Brother Yu, Xue'er can handle her feelings," she said.
"You don't need to say words just to comfort me."
Luo Yu looked surprised.
"Did I... say anything?"
The Snow Lady said, "You... you just sighed, doesn't that mean you're rejecting Xue'er?"
Luo Yu's lips twitched, and he said in exasperation:
"My sigh wasn't because I'm rejecting you."
"Then what is it?" The Snow Lady realized she had misunderstood and immediately blushed with embarrassment.
Luo Yu said, "Actually, I've known for quite a while that you and your sister have feelings for me."
"Ah?"
It wasn't just the Snow Lady who was surprised, the Ice Emperor inside the Boundless Universe Shield was also taken aback.
They couldn't understand how, with their feelings so well hidden, Luo Yu could possibly have detected them.
"How... how could you tell?" the Snow Lady asked in shock.
Luo Yu looked at her, speechless. Was it... was it really that hard to tell?
It turns out these two goddess-level beauties truly hadn't been in love before.
Luo Yu's face took on a worried expression.
"To tell you the truth, I actually have a great fondness for both of you sisters," he said.
"But I just can't bring myself to speak up."
"Why not?" The Snow Lady was completely caught up in the man's rhythm now.
Luo Yu sighed deeply once again.
"If I were to be with one of you, it would hurt the other," he said.
"How could I have the heart to do that?"
"Ah?"
The Snow Lady hadn't expected the man to say something like that, but after thinking it over, she realized it made sense.
If the man chose the Ice Emperor and gave up on her, she feared her world would plunge into darkness.
It would be the same if her sister were the one rejected; she'd probably feel even worse than herself.
Luo Yu looked seriously at the stunning Snow Lady.
"Both of you are good girls, and I truly don't want to hurt either one of you," he said.
"Do you understand?"
The man's sincere words threw the Snow Lady's heart into disarray.
So... so this was what Brother Yu was thinking.
Luo Yu waved his hand.
"Xue'er, you should go back first and let me think this over," he said.
"I do want to agree with you, but what about your sister then?"
"I can't possibly be together with both of you at the same time," he said.
"With your proud characters, you couldn't possibly accept that."
"Enough said."
