My Wife Is The Final Boss-Chapter 778 - 0440 Wen Li’s Understanding of Liking (2-in-1)
Guest room, Zhu Pingniang took out a Sweet Bag from her Storage Ring, popped a plum into her mouth, and looked at Wen Li incredulously.
This girl... is truly strange.
She doesn’t get jealous of Yun Qian, yet instinctively resists others from Muyu Peak getting close to Xu Chang’an?
It’s clearly jealousy.
But... is the direction wrong?
Zhu Pingniang thought carefully again and felt it wasn’t incomprehensible. After all, Yun Qian and Xu Chang’an are husband and wife, both emotionally and logically, Wen Li has no right to be jealous of Yun Qian, so her jealousy is aimed only at those girls who haven’t had ties with Xu Chang’an?
But...
Zhu Pingniang sucked on the sweet, glancing sideways at the serious Wen Li in front of her.
If it were another woman, Zhu Pingniang could almost conclude that she likes Xu Chang’an, and this liking is undoubtedly jealousy, the romantic kind between men and women.
But if it’s Wen Li, Zhu Pingniang dared not make that conclusion.
Even though Wen Li said she feels uncomfortable seeing traces of others’ rouge on Xu Chang’an, Zhu Pingniang still can’t be certain.
But this is Wen Li...
It’s that Wen Li.
Zhu Pingniang covered her face and couldn’t help sighing. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
She and Wen Li’s master would never have imagined that one day... such an innocent, girlish problem would appear with Wen Li.
"Ah Li." Zhu Pingniang sat up completely.
"Senior Aunt." Wen Li looked at her.
"I take back what I said before." Zhu Pingniang slowly spat the pit into her handkerchief and asked, "Do you only see Chang’an as a mirror now?"
"Yes." Wen Li nodded and said, "Junior will be a qualified mirror."
"For example?" Zhu Pingniang looked Wen Li up and down, thoughtful: "Is your current stability like a mountain his doing?"
"His doing..." Wen Li shook her head, calmly saying, "Senior Aunt, my own cultivation naturally only involves myself."
"As it should be." Zhu Pingniang thought, cultivation is indeed cultivation, it should only be one’s own achievement, and it’s clear Wen Li is not confused about this.
"Since your cultivation is the result of your efforts, what use is Chang’an’s mirror to you?" Zhu Pingniang asked.
"..."
Wen Li froze for a moment at the words, as if she had never considered this question.
What use does Junior hold for her...
Is Xu Chang’an useful to her?
He should be.
For example, her rock-solid Sword Heart is always effortlessly shaken in front of him, a chance to train her mind...
But is this what Junior gives her?
No, it’s not like that.
Or rather, it shouldn’t be like that.
"Senior Aunt, must the people around us be useful to us?" Wen Li lifted her head and asked seriously.
"I didn’t say that." Zhu Pingniang spread her hands and smiled, "Look at all the prostitutes in this Flower Moon Building, what use are they?"
"Then why... do you ask me such a question?" Wen Li was confused.
"Because, Chang’an ought to be useful to you." Zhu Pingniang said slowly, "Thinking clearly about what he means to you might be the key to breaking through the Mingxin Realm, right?"
Wen Li: "..."
She fell silent.
She lowered her head, looking at her long black dress.
What does Junior mean to her...
Wen Li closed her eyes.
She remembered the boy diligently working at the Steward Hall in Muyu Peak, remembered the thriving vitality of the plants he personally tended, remembered his gentle smile as he looked at Li Hua’s head...
Opened her eyes.
"Senior Aunt, I never thought that... the Mingxin Realm would be so difficult to break through." Wen Li gently pinched her knuckles.
"It’s only like that for you." Zhu Pingniang shook her head, giving Wen Li a deep look: "Once you cross this hurdle, the future is smooth sailing."
"Is that so." Wen Li said no more, lowering her head in contemplation.
Zhu Pingniang saw this and shook her head helplessly.
Just as she said.
As long as Wen Li can cross the Mingxin Realm, then be it the Cloud Soaring Realm, Taixu Realm, or even the Qiankun Realm... it’s within reach.
As long as she can truly understand herself, all obstacles are like paper tigers before Wen Li’s talent, easily shattered.
Understanding herself is all that’s needed.
Take her feelings for Xu Chang’an, for instance, whether Wen Li’s affection for Xu Chang’an is that of an elder sister to a younger brother, a senior apprentice to a junior, a romantic one or simply because she thinks Xu Chang’an would be an adequate host for Li Hua.
The key isn’t her attitude toward Xu Chang’an, but understanding that attitude.
If her heart is unclear, naturally she can’t step into the Cloud Soaring Realm.
For Wen Li, the most challenging part is indeed the Mingxin Realm.
Zhu Pingniang sighed softly.
This leads back to Wen Li’s origins; once used as a war tool by a small country, being a half-demon who knew nothing but killing, Wen Li lacks so much in terms of emotions.
Yet such a Wen Li, so early on, encountered a youth like Xu Chang’an...
Even she would feel moved by Xu Chang’an; for Wen Li... that level is far too high, being drawn to him is only natural.
Moreover, Xu Chang’an’s relationship with Li Hua, which split from Wen Li’s Divine Soul, is so close.
"What if I can’t figure it out and can’t cross this Mingxin Realm?" Wen Li suddenly asked.
