Chapter 258 Confession

Ruan Xiyue nodded: "You don't need to go to the newly built Beast City. But can you let your younger brother Jiu Mu go there? I'm afraid some of the priest runes aren't being done properly."

Jiu Chen nodded slightly: "Don't worry, I won't let that happen. I already sent him a message. I just don't know where he is now."

Ruan Xiyue and Jiu Chen chatted about some things in Hope Beast City, and then they finished their meal.

Ruan Xiyue raised an eyebrow: "Why has he been inside for so long? Is he still looking at the cubs?"

While clearing away the dishes, Jiu Chen said without even lifting his eyelids, "He's probably waiting for you to go in and say a few words to him."

Ruan Xiyue looked at Jiu Chen for a long time before saying, "If I were to marry Qi Heng and Li Miao, would you be angry?"

Jiu Chen's aura faltered, but he still managed a forced smile and said, "No."

Ruan Xiyue stood up and put the bowl and chopsticks in Jiu Chen's hands on the table.

She nestled into Jiu Chen's arms and whispered:

“I will wait for the right time. If the Spirit Fox Tribe doesn’t show any sincerity, I will not become mates with Qi Heng. As for Li Miao… I should become mates with him after all the guards they sent swear allegiance to me.”

Jiu Chen was already very satisfied with what Ruan Xiyue said to him.

He understood that she was telling him they were different.

Li Miao, who was standing at the end of the corridor, heard Ruan Xiyue's words. He stood there with a pale face and large beads of sweat dripping from his forehead.

Li Miao's head throbbed with pain in waves.

He heard another voice constantly mocking him.

Ruan Xiyue kissed Jiu Chen and then walked towards the cub room.

She saw Li Miao's pale, slender fingers bracing against the wall, her other hand tightly gripping her collar, large beads of sweat constantly dripping from her forehead.

Ruan Xiyue frowned slightly, walked over, and helped Li Miao up.

What's wrong with him? Is he sick?

Duoduo quickly scanned the area: [Li Miao's remnant soul is about to be defeated by Li Miao's soul.]

Ruan Xiyue frowned, helped Li Miao up, and said softly, "I'll help you to the guest room. Do you want some water? Do you want something to eat?"

Ruan Xiyue helped Li Miao to the guest room, and Li Miao's expression had changed.

He went from being so cautious, his heart racing just from stealing a glance at Ruan Xiyue, to having a roguish grin on his face and a ruthless look in his eyes.

Ruan Xiyue helped Li Miao to the bedside. Just as she was about to get up and leave, Li Miao pulled her into his arms.

Ruan Xiyue frowned: "What are you doing!"

Li Miao pinched Ruan Xiyue's chin, bringing his face closer and closer: "I'll kiss you."

As soon as he finished speaking, he leaned forward and met Ruan Xiyue's lips.

Ruan Xiyue tried to get up, but Li Miao pushed her to the other side of the bed, rolled over, and tightly gripped Ruan Xiyue's wrists with both hands.

“Um…you…” Ruan Xiyue really couldn’t like Li Miao.

She had heard in her past life that beauty is justice, but she might be an outlier.

There are people who are quite good-looking, but she just can't bring herself to like them. In fact, if the other person makes a mistake, she will dislike them even more easily.

That's how Ruan Xiyue felt about Li Miao.

Ruan Xiyue struggled to free her wrist and pushed Li Miao away with all her might. A crisp slap rang out on Li Miao's face.

Li Miao paused for a moment, then pressed his tongue against the injured area inside his cheek.

He chuckled, raising an eyebrow with a roguish grin: "So, the reason you were so nice to me before was because you knew that it was Li Miao who was controlling my body back then, right?"

Ruan Xiyue stared at Li Miao, who was supporting himself on his sides, and nodded: "Yes!"

"So, you like him? You like that good-for-nothing? You like Li Miao, who's so spineless he can't utter a word, always silently sacrificing for you but getting nothing in return, only able to wait for your favor?"

Ruan Xiyue narrowed her eyes: "Don't try to twist my words! I don't like you because you lack boundaries and don't know your place. I like Li Miao because he's the exact opposite of you in that respect!"

Li Miao chuckled lightly: "Hypocritical!"

"Yes!" Ruan Xiyue readily admitted, "I am quite hypocritical! So don't like me! It won't work out! I don't like you!"

"Why?" Li Miao frowned slightly. He was genuinely sincere. He didn't understand why Ruan Xiyue didn't like him!

Ruan Xiyue rolled her eyes: "So what I just said went in your left ear and came out in your right ear immediately? Then why did you ask me? I told you, but you didn't listen; I told you, but you didn't believe me; why are you still asking me? Are you sick?"

Li Miao frowned: "I don't like the way you treat me! You've never treated anyone else like this! Haven't I been good enough to you?"

Ruan Xiyue rolled her eyes. She couldn't push Li Miao away and didn't want to say anything more, but seeing that Li Miao looked like he would just keep waiting for her to give an answer until she did, she was in a difficult situation.

Ruan Xiyue took a deep breath, her face showing that she was only going to say this once: "You don't know how to love, and you have no interest in learning how others love. You only express your emotions in your own way, doing whatever you want."

I don't like the way you express your liking!

Li Miao frowned slightly, looking coldly at Ruan Xiyue: "You don't like it, but you've accepted it!"

Ruan Xiyue thought of the help Li Miao had given her, and she nodded: "Yes! I accepted the three times you saved me from dire straits! So, I will bear three children with your bloodline for you!"

"That's what we agreed on! Besides that, I can't force myself to like orcs I don't like!"

"But clearly, you want more than just cubs! You want me to reciprocate your feelings. But that's impossible!"

As Ruan Xiyue spoke, she pushed Li Miao's chest, but Li Miao took Ruan Xiyue's hand away and insisted on interlocking their fingers!

Li Miao said in a cold, hard tone, "But you're not like that with Li Miao! You're willing to be his partner! You're willing to care about him! You're willing to be good to him!"

Ruan Xiyue stared coldly at Li Miao, struggled for a while longer, until she was covered in sweat, and finally gave up.

She had a "what's the use" attitude: "Yes!"

Li Miao looked intently at Ruan Xiyue, as if waiting for her to explain why.

Ruan Xiyue was too lazy to say anything more; she silently resisted Li Miao.

Because she knew that even if she said something to Li Miao, there would still be a lot of rebuttals to her. Li Miao's affection included wanting her to become the person he liked, and he liked to see her change her own rules for him.

Li Miao's lack of discretion wasn't because he truly didn't understand discretion, but rather a test to see if she would change her principles for him.

These are conclusions that Ruan Xiyue drew from her observations of Li Miao and Lu Qixin's interactions.

He can only feel happy and feel that the other person likes him when the other person breaks his bottom line and indulges him.

But Ruan Xiyue didn't want this kind of feeling. She disliked this mutual testing and constantly lowering her standards for the other person.
