The Tang Sect members narrowed their eyes at this answer, as if already envisioning Qian Yu suffering a new set of grave injuries…
Tang Ya worriedly said, "Qian Yu! Why must you do this?"
Bei Bei spoke gravely, "I'm afraid this Valley of Cosmic Love won't let Qian Yu off easily. First, it tore apart one of his arms, now who knows what it will do."
Xu Sanshi's gaze fixed on Qian Yu's arm, he remarked with a hiss, "Well… though being indecisive is indeed not good, Qian Yu is truly a real man!"
Here, where no one could use their Soul Power or Divine Power, Qian Yu had withstood such severe pain solely with his willpower!
And even under the threat of being wiped out, he didn't hesitate to declare his love for Junior Sister Wu Tong—something even he couldn't bring himself to do!
Jiang Nannan pursed her thin lips, "Qian Yu, why speak of love for Wu Tong at a time like this? You could very well lose your life!"
…
As Tang Wutong stood opposite Qian Yu, hearing such unwavering words, her inner defenses shattered...
Qian Yu's strength was so outstanding, and his appearance not something ordinary humans could compare to. Other women's fondness for Qian Yu was not a coincidence...
Therefore, even if Qian Yu had other women, as long as he always prioritized her first, that was enough!
The cold voice resonated once more...
"Considering your indecisiveness in love, yet profound affection, I will give you a chance to explain."
Qian Yu took a deep breath, his gaze intensely fixed on Tang Wutong in front of him, and articulated word for word, "Wu Tong, the woman I mentioned is named Juzi, someone I met at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy..."
He continued, "In the days I lived in the Sun-Moon Empire, due to being together from morning to night, I indeed developed some affection for her, but it was merely because she was the first woman for me!"
"Even though she was my first woman, Wu Tong, I never gave up the thought of pursuing you. Because I know in my heart, it's you I want to be close to and protect the most. At most, she and I are confidants, but you and I are lovers!"
After this speech, the Tang Sect members below were stunned...
They always thought Qian Yu was not good with words, but today, it seemed their entire worldview was shattered!
Innerly, Xu Sanshi ridiculed, "Oh my god, am I seeing this right? Qian Yu can actually speak such mushy words! He really must love Junior Sister Wu Tong deeply."
With that, the disdain in his eyes had completely dissipated. The fact that even the reticent Qian Yu could utter such moving words proved just how much he loved Tang Wutong!
Tang Ya revealed a slight relief and still prayed, "Qian Yu, Wu Tong, please, you mustn't let anything happen to you!"
Bei Bei, with his chin propped in thought, said, "With those words, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the 'Valley of Cosmic Love' to let Qian Yu go. The most important response should come from Wu Tong!"
And Tang Wutong, who had been listening to Qian Yu's words in a daze, her pink-violet eyes began to emanate hope once more as she looked at him and murmured softly, "Qian Yu..."
But before she could even contemplate, the cold voice sounded again...
"Nothing but excuses for your philandering!"
"Tang Wutong, now you have two choices: one, to let this man and the woman he speaks of, Juzi, vanish together, and I will erase your memories of being with him, allowing you to start a new life and find another partner."
"Two, you end your life here today, and with your demise, you will enable him and the woman named Juzi to be together."
Tang Wutong, incredulous, voiced, "What... What's this about killing Qian Yu, erasing memories, and my sacrificing myself?"
In her heart, she had already forgiven Qian Yu! But why, why was she being forced to make such a choice?
To kill Qian Yu—she simply couldn't do it!
Yet the thought of sacrificing herself for his happiness with that woman named Juzi left a sour taste...
The cold voice carried a hint of urgency, "If you don't answer within three seconds, he will be punished with death!"
"I... I..."
"Three..."
Tang Wutong's Beautiful Eyes stared at Qian Yu, indecisively saying, "Qian Yu..."
Qian Yu, on the other hand, extended his index finger towards her, his lips moving slightly...
Clearly, his gesture meant for Tang Wutong to choose the first option!
He would rather he and Juzi be annihilated than to see Tang Wutong die before his own eyes...
"Two! Please make your choice quickly, or you'll be punished with death when the countdown reaches zero!"
Seeing Qian Yu's expression, Tang Wutong's eyes brimmed with tears once more...
Her decision in her heart suddenly became firm, she took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and said, "I choose the second option."
She didn't want to deny the pleasant times spent with Qian Yu. Even though Qian Yu had betrayed her, the fact that he stayed by her side without leaving was enough to make up for everything...
If she ended her life here today, she could monopolize Qian Yu in her next life alone.
Perhaps it was a bit selfish, but she was willing to pay with her life for this!
When Qian Yu saw the tears in Tang Wutong's eyes, he suddenly realized something and exclaimed, "What! Wutong, don't do anything foolish!"
The Tang Sect Members below also became tense, their gazes fixed on Tang Wutong...
However, the expected suicide of Tang Wutong didn't occur; instead, the cold voice announced their success in the trial...
"Although your love is somewhat twisted, still, the trust you have in your partner is commendable. This round, you've passed!"
Upon hearing this, the whole scene fell silent...
Xu Sanshi was stunned, saying, "Eh, we passed? That scared me to death!"
Jiang Nannan finally showed a smile, "If something had happened to Wutong, Qian Yu would probably live in a shadow for the rest of his life."
The seriousness in Bei Bei's eyes dissipated a little, "Thankfully, the love between Qian Yu and Wutong transcended all barriers, otherwise..."
Seeing that Tang Wutong was unharmed, Huo Yuhao released his clenched palms and gave a wry smile, "Is this the gap between me and Qian Yu? Even so, Wutong still chose to love him."
Tang Wutong, who had closed her eyes awaiting death, suddenly woke up startled...
She looked at Qian Yu with tears of joy, and barely opened her lips to say, "Qian Yu, we've passed."
Qian Yu, having read Tang Wutong's words through lip-reading, said with a complex tone, "Yes, Wutong, we've passed."
After that, the circular platform beneath Qian Yu and Tang Wutong's feet slowly lowered...
Qian Yu glanced at his own left arm and saw that it was still empty; obviously, the Valley of Cosmic Love hadn't restored his arm like it had for others...
Seeing Qian Yu's action, the Tang Sect members also looked in that direction, and when they saw the unrecovered arm, they all fell silent...
The lack of recovery meant that the punishment Qian Yu received was irreversible, completely different from the virtual trials they had faced!
Just then, the cold voice sounded again, "The first round of the trial, Truth or Dare, has been passed. The second round will now begin! Upon completing three rounds, you will be able to leave this place!"
