"Wuwuwu!" Lian Qingyi wept incessantly, as if she didn't know how to live on.
At this moment, Lian Qingyi thought of death. It seemed she had no choice but to die, otherwise, she couldn't get over her inner turmoil.
Lian Qingyi regretted it deeply, regretting why she had done such things. She felt unworthy of living in this world.
But some things were hard to control, especially human desires. Every time Lian Qingyi finished her manual labor, she regretted it terribly. However, after a while, she would lose control again, and then regret it after calming down, cycling back and forth.
"Perhaps, this shameless woman like me has truly reached the point of ending her life. I am not worthy of living in this world," Lian Qingyi suddenly stopped crying and murmured to herself.
Zhou Hong seemed to sense something was wrong. Lian Qingyi was thinking of committing suicide.
As expected, Lian Qingyi picked up a knife and aimed it at her own head, intending to split herself open.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't be rash," Zhou Hong shouted urgently.
Lian Qingyi, feeling ashamed, dared not look at the tree. She lowered her head and said, "Zhou Hong, I don't blame you. I am a vile woman. To be honest, every time I finish, I am filled with self-blame and feel utterly disgraced. It's just that this time you discovered it. Before, no one found out, and I could still live on sheepishly. But this time, I can't. This shameless woman like me deserves to die."
"Wait, wait," Zhou Hong shouted.
"You don't need to persuade me. I have no place to hide my shame and no face to live in this world."
"Lian Qingyi, if it were another situation, would you still feel you had no face to live in this world?" Zhou Hong suddenly asked.
"What do you mean? What situation?" Lian Qingyi looked towards the tree by the window and asked doubtfully.
"What if I were your boyfriend? I've decided to be your boyfriend. Anyway, you saw me naked last time, and this time you've been seen by me. I think this is fate, fate that wants to bind us together."
"Uh!" Lian Qingyi couldn't help but freeze.
"I'm not lying to you, fate is hard to defy. We've both seen each other naked, so we only have one path, and that is to become a couple. To be honest, after you saw me naked last time, I also felt I couldn't live on. I originally wanted to find a deserted place to end myself, but I was a bit unwilling, so I came here to see you."
"Is that true or not?" Lian Qingyi was full of doubt. She didn't think Zhou Hong was that kind of person.
"Why would I lie to you? I am a very traditional man. I have never been seen naked by any woman before. Now not only have you seen me, but I have also produced the water of life in front of you. Enough said. Whenever I think of that day, I also feel disgraced. Let's die, let's die together. Since we both feel disgraced, we'll have a companion in the afterlife. Perhaps after descending to hell, we can still cultivate as spirits and ascend to the spirit realm again."
"Hmph, don't try to fool me. I don't believe you're that kind of person. You don't look like it at all."
"Whether I look like it or not, we've been honest with each other. If we don't become a couple, neither of us has the face to live. Think about it, don't be in a hurry to die."
"I...!" Lian Qingyi suddenly didn't know what to say. Now that she had calmed down, she also felt that dying like this was not worth it.
"Don't die, really."
Lian Qingyi snorted, "Why are you still hiding? Aren't you going to show yourself?"
"I'm sorry, my body isn't here right now. My body is in a faraway place. As for why I can speak to you, I will tell you slowly later."
"Hmph, you have so many tricks. No wonder my uncle has never been able to find you."
"Hehe, you won't report me, will you?"
"If I wanted to report you, I wouldn't have let you go last time."
"That's right. So we should be together. Don't hesitate, be my girlfriend."
Lian Qingyi seemed very conflicted, perhaps it was too sudden. But she had to admit that she had a good impression of this mysterious Zhou Hong. Moreover, so much had happened between them, especially since their most shameful moments had been seen by each other.
"Qingyi, agree to it. If we are together, I will make you happy for a lifetime. You have your own world, and I have mine. We are truly a match made in heaven. If you become my girlfriend, you won't have to do manual labor alone anymore!"
"Don't say any more." Lian Qingyi was instantly filled with shame. Zhou Hong even brought up this matter, truly relentless in shaming her.
"Hehe, although the words are unpleasant, that's the reality of it."
"You!" Lian Qingyi was so embarrassed she wished she could find a hole to crawl into.
"Don't be shy. After we become the closest lovers, what can't we say to each other?"
"Hmph, when did I become your closest lover? Did I agree?"
"I don't care if you agreed or not. I've agreed on my side. From now on, I am your boyfriend."
"You scoundrel." Lian Qingyi seemed helpless, but seeing Zhou Hong shamelessly declare himself her boyfriend, a sweetness bloomed in her heart. This feeling had never appeared before, a sweetness that was indescribable.
Just then, Lian Qingyi's cultivation realm suddenly advanced, from an eighth-grade demon to a ninth-grade demon.
"Ah!" Lian Qingyi was stunned herself.
Zhou Hong also sensed the change in Lian Qingyi. He chuckled and said, "See? Isn't this fate? Heaven itself is happy for us, causing you to break through instantly. This shows you are very happy in your heart. Since that's the case, don't pretend to be coy. Tell me, are you my girlfriend?" Zhou Hong pressed.
Lian Qingyi pouted and huffed helplessly, "Yes, are you satisfied?"
"Hahaha." Zhou Hong laughed excitedly. Seeing Lian Qingyi pouting, so different from her usual demeanor, he couldn't help but feel a flutter in his heart. Especially thinking about Lian Qingyi's manual labor just now, Zhou Hong wished he could rush to her side immediately and make her not have to work so hard from then on.
At this moment, Lian Qingyi also felt her heart suddenly open, her inner self feeling incredibly bright. She had been single for so long and had finally found her shore. Although she didn't know if this Zhou Hong was reliable, at least at this moment, she felt very happy.
"Qingyi, wait for me. I'll come to your place tonight," Zhou Hong said quickly.
"Tonight? This!" Lian Qingyi couldn't help but feel worried. After all, her uncle was still searching for him throughout the city. If her uncle discovered it, he would surely kill her. After all, she had agreed to be Zhou Hong's girlfriend, how could she face her uncle?
