Chapter 1608: True Love
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Li Yiyin’s heart jolted as she stared blankly at the purple-robed man.
An Lin continued to fan the flames, “How does it feel to be betrayed? To be cheated on? It hurts, right? Now look at the person who has continued to stay by your side to protect you and give you warmth and care even after enduring the pain and despair of being betrayed?
“This is true love! He has stayed with you for several hundred years… Do you know what he has been through? His cultivation base has plummeted, and he’s at the lowest point of his life, but you are still his top priority, the person he holds dearest!
“And what about Chang’e? She has found someone new a long time ago!
“Don’t be fooled by Chang’e’s beauty! On the inside, she’s a bad woman!
“You need to look deep into your heart to find your true love. Think about what you would do if Ding Xiaoru was to leave you!”
An Lin’s words were like a series of cannon blasts thumping into her heart.
“No! It’s not true…” Li Yiyin’s eyes were a little glazed over, and she pressed her hands against her head as she ran into the nearby house before violently slamming the door.
“Yiyin!” Ding Xiaoru called out in a concerned voice.
“Give her some peace and quiet. We’ve already succeeded for the most part to be able to evoke such a strong emotional response from her. Whether she comes back to you now will depend on whether she can think through this emotional rut for herself.” An Lin clasped his hands behind his back as if he truly were a seasoned relations.h.i.+p expert.
Ding Xiaoru wasn’t an idiot, and he too knew that An Lin was right.
For some reason, his tears ducts were becoming active again as he looked at the white-robed man standing before him.
“Mr. An Lin, I offer to you my sincerest grat.i.tude! I’ve never seen Li Yiyin display such emotions before. I’ve finally seen some hope that she will come back to me…” Ding Xiaoru spoke with a grateful expression.
However, An Lin was not impressed. “What are you still standing here for?”
“Huh?” Ding Xiaoru faltered upon hearing this.
“Hurry up and go provide warmth to your Yiyin!” An Lin chuckled.
Ding Xiaoru was enlightened. Li Yiyin had just been dealt a heavy psychological blow, so this was when she was most vulnerable. At a time like this, he needed to strike when the iron was hot and give her the warmth and love she needed!
An Lin was feeling a little dazed at the sight of the purple-robed man hurrying over to the little house, completely belying his ident.i.ty as the almighty Patriarch Zhu Yin.
An Lin put his photograph away with a satisfied expression.
Xu Xiaolan suddenly made her way over to him, and her exquisitely beautiful features were made even more gorgeous by the moonlight.
“An Lin, why do you have a picture like this?” she asked with feigned nonchalance.
An Lin’s heart shuddered, but he too feigned an expression of nonchalance. “Haha, Yue Tu sent me this photo for the Moon Festival. She told me that she had taken it for fun…
“It has always been sitting in my storage ring, and I’ve never really looked at it. I only had a rough impression of what the image was like, so I pulled it out. Who would have thought that it would be so effective.”
Xu Xiaolan nodded upon hearing this. This could no longer just be referred to as effective; this was a nuclear strike!
It could be said that without this picture, there was no way that they could break down the fortress around Li Yiyin’s heart. It was exactly because of that picture that all of Li Yiyin’s walls had crumbled!
There was no need to straighten Li Yiyin. All that had to happen was for Li Yiyin to be betrayed by the most beautiful woman in the world, the woman she loved the most, and she would naturally straighten out…
Xu Xiaolan didn’t deny the effectiveness of the picture. Instead, she c.o.c.ked her head to the side with a hint of a smile on her face. “But that’s a picture of Chang’e and Su Qianyun staring at each other pa.s.sionately… Why would Yue Tu give that kind of picture to you? It doesn’t make a lot of sense…”
An Lin’s lips twitched.
Xu Xiaolan was not that easy to fool.
However, he couldn’t tell Xiaolan the truth, which was that he had exchanged for this picture from Yue Tu at the cost of a high-rank spirit pill! He only wanted the picture for his own viewing pleasure at that time!
Think about it. This was the number one beauty in the Kingdom of the Nine States and the number one beauty in The United University of Cultivation looking deeply into each other’s pa.s.sionate eyes… Just thinking about it was exciting! Who wouldn’t be interested in seeing something like that?
But if he was to tell Xiaolan the truth…
An Lin racked his brains desperately before a thought occurred to him, and he heaved a forlorn sigh. “Sigh… You’ve probably figured something out from seeing that photo, right? I’m doing this for Su Qianyun’s benefit! I asked Yue Tu to take the photo, and then, I sent it to Su Xin and brought this matter to his attention!
“After all, I don’t want Su Qianyun to have her feelings played with by that bad woman, Chang’e, as well!”
An Lin wore a distressed expression. “Unfortunately, Su Xin didn’t believe me and returned the photo to me…”
Xu Xiaolan thought to herself for a moment before deciding that this story made sense.
In reality, after everything that had happened, her brain was quite muddled as well.
Chang’e forcefully bent Li Yiyin, Li Yiyin cucked Ding Xiaoru, Ding Xiaoru’s cultivation base fell, and now Chang’e was cucking Li Yiyin for Su Qianyun.
Su Qianyun didn’t even seem to be a lesbian to her!
She had been oblivious for over a hundred years?
Oh my G.o.d!
All of these incredible events were taking place right before Xu Xiaolan’s eyes, reducing her brain to a pile of mush and leaving her at a loss for what to do…
In comparison, Tina was quite calm and collected.
She accepted new things quite quickly. After all, she was a G.o.ddess of Creation who required a heart filled with unconditional love. Lesbians? She had seen many of those in the Divine Mirror World, so she was not going to make a big fuss about it.
“Who would have thought our mission would progress so smoothly? It’s not as difficult as I thought it would be.” Tina did an elated twirl in the air.
“Everything only went so smoothly because of my picture!” An Lin spoke with a wide smile.
Xu Xiaolan nodded in agreement. “We really might not have been able to get this job done if not for that picture. In other words, we were in the right place at the right time and just so happened to have a unique picture that was applicable to the situation. It was all meant to be!”
“I contributed most to the completion of this mission! There are no objections to that, right?” An Lin asked with a smug smile.
Xu Xiaolan and Tina both turned disdainful glances toward him, but they didn’t state any objections. Both of them knew what An Lin wanted. He was clearly after the Underworld Dao Flower.
Neither of them said anything. One of them simply couldn’t be bothered, while the other decided to concede to her Master.
After a while, Ding Xiaoru made his way out of the small house.
He wore an expression of concern intermingled with elation on his face.
An Lin and Xu Xiaolan immediately inquired about the situation.
“Thankfully, she didn’t reject me outright this time. I think she must have snapped out of it after your efforts. However, she didn’t express any decisive opinion. She only said that she still wanted some peace and quiet…” Ding Xiaoru replied with a wry smile.
An Lin was excited. “That means we’re on the right track!”
“We’re in the home stretch,” Xiaolan chimed in with a smile.
“Let’s go fan the flames a little!” An Lin suggested.
Ding Xiaoru was intrigued upon hearing this. “How?”
An Lin replied excitedly, “Xiaolan and I are going to flaunt our love to her!”
