"Fu Sheng." She grinds her teeth. "You don"t have to think of me as your burden and duty. I will break the bond. I already know how to do it. When that happens, you will be freed from this bond. You won"t die if I die."She lived her entire human life as a burden to her family. She has no intention of living an eternity as a burden to this vampire king.
Fu Sheng frowns at her. "Where did you hear that breaking the bond is possible?"
She relaxes her shoulders and looks at him with a smile on her lips. She"s upset. She"s always a burden. Now, she"s a duty. What else she will be in the future?
"I have my sources. It"s not possible in this world. There"s a G.o.d in a different world who can break the bond between two unwilling individuals. I will go to that world and break this unnecessary binding between us. We don"t want each other anyway. I don"t want to be anyone"s duty or burden. After it"s over between us, we don"t have to protect each other or worry about each other."
He wants to be freed, right? Just like them? She"s a burden. She wants to leave before he says something that will destroy the remains of her pride.
"Breaking the bond is impossible," Fu Sheng states with a detached voice. She must really hate him. Otherwise, she wouldn"t be keen on breaking the bond. "If there"s a G.o.d who can do this, then it won"t come without a price. The price might be something that"s graver than what we have to endure now. Do you still want to break the bond?"
The repercussions of formal rejection have been hurting his soul this much. He can"t imagine what would happen if she breaks the bond. Will she listen to his warning and change her mind?
"We can continue to live like this. You are free from me." Fu Sheng utters the words through his clenched jaw, "You can find someone else. I won"t stop you. I will fix this world for you and make it safe enough for you to wander freely with someone you want by your side. Your deepest desire is freedom. I understand that. I respect that. But don"t get involved with the G.o.ds. Don"t break the bond."
His voice falters. He sighs when he finds her watching him quietly. He can sense that she hasn"t changed her mind. She would go to any extent to get away from him. He can force her to stay with him. He can lock her up, but he will also feel her pain if he does that. He can"t be cruel to her.
"Huang Qiuyan, tell me that you won"t leave this world." He nearly pleads. "You will stay where I can protect you. You won"t do anything insane. You have to understand your human feelings first before you take a drastic decision that can"t be undone. You can find someone else. I won"t stop you. Give it a few years and try to understand yourself first. I understand if you don"t want me, but you don"t have to go that far to get away from me. You have to promise me that you won"t do it. I will do anything in return."
He doesn"t know who is telling her these things. Huang Qiuyan"s existence is itself a question mark. She has magic inside her. She is not like other converts who have gone insane. She can control her blood thirsts better than the purebloods. There must be something else.
Huang Qiuyan is confused. Why is he not happy about it? If the bond is broken, won"t he be free from the unwanted burden? The price? She already knows the price. She has to gather 100 billion points. That"s a lot, yes.
What did he mean by her deepest desire? Freedom? Wandering? Does she want something like that? Why does he talk like he knows her well? Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
"Promise me, Huang Qiuyan." Fu Sheng urges her desperately. His eyes cannot hide the fear and pain in his heart. He"s afraid for her more than himself. He can bear the pain, but she"s not strong enough. If she does something crazy, she might end up destroying her soul. G.o.ds aren"t as benevolent as humans make them. "If you want the world, I will give it to you."
"I don"t want the world." She tries to push him away.
He inches closer to her instead. "Then, what do you want?"
Seeing him so close again, her heart skips a beat. His musky scent invades her nose. Not losing her mind to the point of no return due to the bond and yet, she wants to hold him tightly in her arms. She suddenly regrets rejecting him.
Is it the bond that is making her regretful or is it her heart?
Frustrated, she yells at him, "I don"t want anything from you."
She senses the sorrow pulsating through the bond, followed by sheer pain that chokes her for a moment. The walls close again. She looks at him, wide-eyed. "What was that?"
"It"s nothing." He lies to her, knowing she won"t believe him. She will choose that path and he can"t do anything to stop her. He should make the preparations. The tragedy can"t be prevented. The king wonders how low he will fall for this woman.
"What are you hiding?" She presses her palm against his chest. "I felt it for less than for a second. It hurt so much. I felt like my soul was breaking. Fu Sheng, how did you get hurt like this?"
If she continues to show care like this, he will melt again. He steels his heart.
"Huang Qiuyan, if you feel something for me, don"t listen to anyone and break the bond. Even if you can"t love me, we don"t have to break the bond."
He will do everything in order to convince her.
