Capítulo 1059: Chapter 845: Why Can’t I Make a Move on You?

So deliberately tormenting him, trying to probe what he was really thinking, but saw nothing, instead made him start to feel narcissistic…

After a long silence, Ye Jiuyou finally said, “Actually, you don’t need to do this. Disturbing corpses, being condemned by everyone, wrath of heaven and resentment of people… What does it have to do with you? Strictly speaking, I’m still your enemy, but because of Ye Wuming’s matters, we are temporarily cooperating. During this cooperation, the more enemies I make externally, the more people and ghosts are angry, isn’t it more advantageous for you to turn against me later? What are you trying to block, and even sacrifice yourself for it?”

“The reason is so simple, why do you refuse to believe it?”

“Is it really because you care about me?”

“Why not?”

Ye Jiuyou widened her eyes slightly, staring at him somewhat in a daze.

“I’ve already said, our opposition stems from the things you naturally represent. Since you’ve consciously started to break away from this definition, what premise is there for opposition between us?”

Ye Jiuyou said dryly, “But I won’t give up Silent Annihilation and Shadow, am I still trying to control them…”

“What’s wrong with using them as a means? Hey, don’t you know, my foundation also comes from Demon Skills, I practice Blood Evil. Since when did you all start seeing me as a knight so upright that I’m hung up on this? Shouldn’t I be slitting my throat if I really cared about this?”

Ye Jiuyou: “…”

It seems really unknown when everyone started to forget that Zhao Changhe’s foundation is typical Demon Skills. Oh right, Four Symbols Sect was originally a Demon Sect… The way he acts now is so grand and righteous that people tend to forget these things, even more so after being fully recognized by Piaomiao…

“What does it matter about means? Even the ugliest means must be used when necessary. I oppose your use of Four Symbols Corpse Puppets, not because I really think the dead should rest in peace out of compassion, but if circumstances truly demand it, the first one to do it might be me… But there’s no need by the circumstances, Four Symbols is our own old line of work, as long as you’re willing to trust us, there’s no need to do such controversial, enemy-making things.”

Ye Jiuyou finally couldn’t help but blurt out, “What are you after?”

“If I were to find a more dignified explanation, it’s because you could have wreaked havoc in the Capital yet chose not to, could have plotted against Qing’er and them yet didn’t act, you say it’s because you didn’t want to turn against me for the cooperation, Qing’er thinks it might be an act… Whether it’s an act or not, you’ve made your sacrifices for cooperation, then naturally I should make mine, no one owes anyone.”

“That’s the dignified explanation? So there’s also a less dignified one?”

“The less dignified explanation is, I’m after you, do you believe it?”

Ye Jiuyou’s half-opened eyes finally widened completely.

Zhao Changhe straightforwardly said, “You know I even want Ye Wuming. I hadn’t been in contact with Piaomiao for long before I took a liking to Piaomiao. I’ve always been full of desires, why would you be an exception? I didn’t think about it previously because everything in various senses was antagonistic, there was no intention. Now that the premise of antagonism is gone, why wouldn’t I have an interest in you?”

Ye Jiuyou had never thought in ancient times nor now that someone would say such things to her, seeming cold-faced and indifferent, in truth she was bewildered, her mind briefly lost its ability to think.

If it was said that in Ancient Times someone might have had thoughts about Ye Wuming, absolutely no existence would have thoughts about Ye Jiuyou, the former deathly stillness and desolation couldn’t possibly arouse anyone’s desires.

In endless long years, this was definitely the one and only, who expressed intention to pursue her.

Zhao Changhe spoke as if it were so natural: “I’ve seen you bathe, kissed your hand, touched your… There’s even a seemingly non-binding marriage agreement… That’s a marriage agreement too. The cause-and-effect is such, even if you were an ordinary woman, in a man’s heart you would be seen differently, let alone your exceptional beauty? I’m a normal man, don’t have any unspeakable conditions, every time I see you, it’s just different in my heart, no need to deceive myself.”

Ye Jiuyou seemed silent, but in truth, she was still distracted.

Actually, towards Zhao Changhe she always saw him differently, wasn’t it also because of these past causes? What woman can completely disregard these?

Retracting the Azure Dragon, saying it’s to avoid breaking the cooperation, isn’t the subconscious reason also because it’s him, instinctively not wanting the relationship to turn ugly? If it were another cooperation partner, Ye Jiuyou would have cared about such things.

Why are they both defending against a little ‘affair’ word? Isn’t it because they each have a guilty conscience… If they didn’t, why care? He felt he had owed something, now thinks it’s repaid, has become assertive, hasn’t he? Or because he saw some other prior cause, leading him to stop concealing his emotions?

What did he just say?

Exceptional beauty?

Is it because she’s like Ye Wuming!

“Do you know when my heart was most stirred?” Zhao Changhe suddenly asked.

Ye Jiuyou tried to make her voice sound indifferent and mocking: “Animal mating urges can happen anytime, who can know for sure.”

Zhao Changhe wasn’t bothered, just said, “I saw you alone in the deathly still shadows, staring at yourself in a mirror.”

Ye Jiuyou’s heart moved slightly.

Zhao Changhe continued, “At that time, saying to the mirror, withdraw Azure Dragon from the Capital to Kunlun… I don’t know what kind of emotions you had then, only that I had the impulse to hug you.”
