Chapter 2418 A Dilemma
Qin Chuan didn't do anything, simply leaning against the woman, quietly enjoying this peaceful moment.
Sometimes, this kind of experience is hard to come by.
It requires the right timing. For example, if this woman had already become Qin Chuan's woman, things might be different now.
Too much distance wouldn't work either, so only now, to put it nicely, it's a matter of being able to advance or retreat, to put it bluntly, a dilemma.
Qin Chuan couldn't advance now; the woman wasn't fully open and ready to be completely honest with him, but she had already taken that step, it was just a matter of time.
However, time can change everything; everything can be said to be a matter of time, even deep-seated hatred will be erased with time.
A faint fragrance, a refreshing scent, elegant and cool, Qin Chuan took a deep breath, enjoying the woman's slender waist, feeling fulfilled and satisfied, and a star truly calmed down.
The previous battle wasn't as relaxed as it seemed on the surface; after all, there couldn't be the slightest carelessness. If something went wrong, the consequences would be unimaginable. Even if he and the woman could escape, what about the others?
Witnessing the destruction of a world and being unable to stop it, especially falling so close, creates a deep-seated regret
that's hard to shake off. Everyone says that as long as you've tried your best, there won't be any regrets. But that's not true. Regret is regret, regardless of whether you tried your best.
Because if you tried your best, it means there was a chance of success. If you didn't succeed, what does it mean to have tried your best? There's no standard. Just being alive doesn't count as trying your best.
So regret is regret, and it has nothing to do with whether you tried your best or not.
"That's enough!" the woman said angrily.
Qin Chuan's behavior made it hard for her to calm down. If he were really asleep, that would be
one thing, but he wasn't asleep at all. His faint masculine scent lingered, and his face was pressed against her abdomen. Qin Chuan smiled and opened his eyes, seeing the woman's faint blush. This beautiful sight was truly rare, breathtakingly beautiful.
"I'm tired. Don't be so stingy. I'll just lean back and rest for a while." Qin Chuan found a comfortable position and didn't get up.
The woman knew Qin Chuan was saying this on purpose. She didn't see that he was tired; perhaps he was mentally exhausted, but at least his expression didn't show it. In fact, he seemed quite energetic.
However, at this moment, she really couldn't do anything to him. In all these years, this was the first time she had encountered such a shameless person who left her helpless.
"Now that things here are over, what are your plans?" Qin Chuan changed the subject, as this was also a question he was concerned about.
He was going to the Nine Heavens Land, and he was ready to go now. However, things had only just begun with this woman, so he didn't know what to do.
Qing Xianzi didn't answer immediately, seemingly lost in thought. Qin Chuan saw confusion in her eyes, something he hadn't seen before. It
wasn't just confusion; it was a kind of bewilderment, loneliness. So Qin Chuan knew that this woman had fallen in love, but how it would end was hard to say. At least one thing was certain: she had fallen in love
. Only when one falls in love can one feel lonely. Because once you have something, you fear losing it. Like Qin Chuan, she couldn't bear to part with him.
Even if she had feelings for Qin Chuan, if he hadn't actively pursued her, she would never have told him her thoughts.
Actually, she hadn't explicitly said it until now, and it was only now that Qin Chuan realized this woman liked him. Although he saw her loneliness, he felt happy.
Because he was a man, and to have such a stunningly beautiful woman like him was an irreplaceable sense of accomplishment.
Qin Chuan sat up, took her hand, and pulled her into his arms: "You poor little thing, brother will take care of you!"
*Pfft!
* "You're asking for it!" The woman was both amused and annoyed, angrily reaching out to twist Qin Chuan's ear.
She managed to grab it, but then she froze, letting go. She, too, was one day pulling a man's ear, and they were even embracing like this.
She felt like she was in a dream; everything felt unreal, but she knew it was real, the most real thing.
She could like a man…
She stared blankly at Qin Chuan, as if meeting him for the first time, trying to see him clearly.
Qin Chuan's face was flushed…
Seeing Qin Chuan's almost-dead expression, she laughed. This guy, when they first met, was surprisingly serious.
Her righteous spirit and natural aura were key reasons why she fell in love with Qin Chuan. Looks were secondary; comfort was paramount.
For a woman, if a man who gets close to her makes her uncomfortable in the slightest, there's practically no chance.
Qin Chuan was an exception. Initially, he was perfect in every way—a gentleman among gentlemen, and she knew it wasn't an act. But now she realized he was a bit of a rogue.
Yet, she didn't feel anything wrong; in fact, she felt a strange, indescribable feeling—she liked him, she was happy, and couldn't help but feel joy.
Before, her emotions rarely fluctuated; she wasn't sad, but she wasn't particularly happy either—just a kind of blandness, unaffected even by the collapse of the sky.
But now it was different. There was happiness, helplessness, anticipation, and embarrassment. She wanted to talk to him, yet feared his roguishness, yet also longed for it.
This was life—a hundred flavors of life, a hundred flavors. The world is wonderful because of its vibrant colors.
"Come with me to the Land of Nine Heavens!" Qin Chuan said softly, seeing the woman's hesitation.
The woman was truly conflicted. There was nothing here she cherished, yet she couldn't bring herself to leave, and she didn't even know why.
Qin Chuan remained silent. He knew he had to give the woman time to consider. Besides, even if he left, it wouldn't be immediately; he had plenty of time. He could go anytime, or he could stay for two or three years.
Now it was just a matter of the woman. If she left with him, he would leave sooner; if she didn't want to leave, Qin Chuan would stay longer, keep her company, and find a way to take her with him.
After all, she was alone. He had already provoked her, so he couldn't leave her behind. He could leave other women behind, but not this one; she would die alone.
"Alright, don't be troubled. Wherever you want to go, I'll stay there with you, okay?" Qin Chuan smiled.
The woman shook her head, still silent.
Sweeping across the sky like a shooting star,
the Empress's Palace appeared in the distance, magnificent and imposing, standing atop the mountain peak.
Empress Mountain!
"That's our home!" Qin Chuan turned and smiled at her.
The woman smiled and nodded.
