Chapter 405 What kind of love is it if you're unwilling to die for your lover?
The swirling light reappeared, but this time it stopped after rotating for less than a full cycle, its target being Wang Qiu'er.
As the light dissipated, Wang Qiu'er's delicate body rose into the air, her face still cold and stern. She had clearly heard Ma Xiaotao's voice earlier, but it hadn't stirred much emotion within her. She didn't fully understand what was going on in this place either.
"Do you have a lover?" The same question.
Wang Qiu'er coldly replied, "Maybe... there might be!"
"Who is he?" the calm voice immediately pressed.
"Wu Xuan," Wang Qiu'er replied calmly, she didn't need to hide her feelings.
Wu Xuan, standing to the side, looked utterly bewildered. He hadn't even had any contact with Wang Qiu'er yet. How could he possibly be her lover?
"Does he love you?" the calm voice continued.
Wang Qiu'er said, "I don't think he loves her!"
"Then you still love him?"
"Our destinies are intertwined, and we are destined to be together in the future. Neither he nor I had a choice," Wang Qiu'er seemed to recall.
"If you had to choose again, would you still choose this path?" the calm voice continued.
"Yes." This time, Wang Qiu'er's voice carried a different tone.
"Why?"
Wang Qiu'er took a deep breath and said, "Since I can remember, my world has been unchanging. Meeting him made my world different and colorful. I like my world now."
"If one day he faces a life-or-death crisis, would you be willing to give your life for him?"
Wang Qiu'er said calmly, "What you're saying is completely unfounded. Two people whose fates are intertwined have a premonition of destiny. As long as we're together, we won't encounter danger at the same time. Moreover, he possesses some kind of power that transcends this world."
"If you die now, he can live. Are you willing?" The calm voice seemed to still have a lingering hope.
Wang Qiu'er's face revealed a hint of sarcasm, "If you can do it, then come on."
Time seemed to stand still. After a long moment, the calm voice rang out again, "I don't like your tone. But I admire your unwavering determination. You've passed the first test of sincerity."
Wang Qiu'er fell, her delicate body sealed again.
The golden light began to rotate again, and after a long time, it finally stopped, this time at the location where Ye Guyi was.
"Do you have a lover?" the flat voice asked coldly.
"A lover? Do I have to name one?" Ye Guyi asked, her delicate brows furrowing slightly.
"You must tell me!!" The calm voice suddenly became urgent.
"Then let's go with Wu Xuan! Being with him should be a good choice." Ye Guyi hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"But as far as I know, he doesn't love you, and he has more than one girl around him. Even so, are you still going to interfere?" The calm voice sounded somewhat puzzled.
"You already said there's more than one person, so what's wrong with adding me?" Ye Guyi retorted.
"He can't even be faithful to the most basic things, what makes him worthy of your love?" The calm voice held a hint of helplessness.
"He is strong enough and righteous enough. I'm happy to go on adventures with him. Isn't that enough?" Ye Guyi said, as if reciting a familiar story.
"If one day he faces a life-or-death crisis, would you be willing to give your life for him?" The calm voice asked again after a long silence.
"I will avenge him, but I will not make a pointless sacrifice," Ye Guyi said after a moment's hesitation.
"Hmm, complicated emotional history, passed the first test of sincerity."
The calm voice sounded as if he had breathed a sigh of relief; as long as no one was willing to die for him, then the provocation could be considered somewhat effective.
The golden light subsided. The Leaf Bone Robe was placed back in its original position.
With a slight movement, the golden light swept over Xiao Xiao, who was not far away.
Do you have a lover?
"Yes," Xiao Xiao answered without hesitation.
Who is it?
"Wu Xuan".
Is he the person you love most?
"yes."
"You must have heard what those three said. You have three familiar companions by your side who all say they love Wu Xuan. Did you know that?" the calm voice provocatively said.
"I know, I knew before this," Xiao Xiao said calmly.
"So what's your opinion?" the calm voice pressed.
"I have no opinion. Wu Xuan is just too outstanding. Isn't it normal for multiple girls to like him? Just like I used to be. Feelings can't be stopped by reason," Xiao Xiao said, seemingly reminiscing.
"Aren't you afraid of inviting trouble?" the calm voice asked, sounding somewhat anxious.
"I can't do it alone, I simply can't handle it," Xiao Xiao murmured softly, a blush rising on her pretty face.
The voice seemed to freeze for two and a half seconds before coldly asking, "Only one of you can leave here alive. Will you die, or will he?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xiao's pretty face turned cold, and she slowly said, "Wu Xuan once told me that to love others, you must first know how to love yourself. So I will not give up my life for your empty promise!"
"If you're unwilling, that's fine!" A calm voice said with satisfaction, "First test of sincerity passed!"
The golden light swirled, but this time it didn't stop immediately. As if influenced by Xiao Xiao's words, the process of the golden light swirling this time seemed particularly long.
After a long while, the golden light finally stopped, this time stopping at the location where Wu Xuan was.
"Do you have a lover?" The question remains.
"A lover? To be honest, I don't know either!" Wu Xuan said calmly.
"..."
What kind of answer is that? The voice remained silent for a long time, as if trying to verify the truth of Wu Xuan's words.
In the ethereal space above the clouds, a woman in a nine-colored long dress trembled and hurriedly looked at the man beside her, saying in a panic, "Third Brother, there are two divine forces interfering with him. The power of the God of Love cannot see through his heart."
The Buddha Tang's face was gloomy. After a long while, he said, "Keep asking. In the end, he will not escape our control."
"good."
The woman with nine colors calmed down and continued to ask, "Then let me ask you another way: who is the girl you're thinking about?"
"There are too many to list. Which one do you want to ask about specifically?" Wu Xuan asked.
The calm voice seemed to suppress anger as it asked, "Right here, who are the people you care about?"
"Ma Xiaotao, Xiao Xiao, Ye Guyi, Wang Qiu'er!!" Wu Xuan said calmly.
"Four? Aren't you worried about too many people?" The calm voice seemed to carry a hint of questioning.
"They all say they love me, so it's not unreasonable for me to care about the four of them, is it?" Wu Xuan asked with a smile.
"They keep saying they love you, yet they're unwilling to give up their lives to save you. Are they even worth your concern?" The calm voice countered, seemingly trying to sow discord.
"There's nothing not worth it!" Wu Xuan said calmly.
"What kind of love is it if you're not willing to die for the one you love?" The calm voice rose in volume, seemingly tinged with exasperation.
