The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1538 - 1537: Choice

His strength must not fall!The reason Geng Bucuo's strength could improve so fast, almost chasing up with Xiao Yue, is because he didn't want Xiao Yue to feel like she ended up with a man whose strength was even inferior to her own. So he ate diligently, trained diligently, and replenished diligently; his strength gradually improved, and years of hard work were about to be destroyed in an instant. Geng Bucuo believed that if he didn't stop Wang Han, the man standing next to Xiao Yue later might even just be a lower deity.

"Now you realize what fear is? When you ambushed me earlier, didn't you think of fear, didn't consider the consequences? Only now thinking about consequences, isn't it a bit too late?"

Wang Han faced outward, with his back to Geng Bucuo, personally witnessing Geng Bucuo's face twist, personally seeing the terror fill his eyes.

"As you imagine, I can make someone become a lower deity, or I can immediately stop and let them stay in their current upper deity stage, but you must truthfully answer a question for me."

Wang Han merely controlled Geng Bucuo for the moment, without continuing to absorb his immortal energy.

Geng Bucuo nodded like a pecking chicken; having skills equaled having Xiao Yue, lacking strength equaled having nothing. Weighing the pros and cons, he had no choice but to temporarily make this decision.

"Let me ask you, in your heart, is the woman lying on the bed more important, or is the strength you painstakingly cultivated more important?"

Wang Han asked this question in front of Xiao Yue. This question was somewhat tricky; no one could straightforwardly answer this kind of question in front of others.

But this was Wang Han's true intention; she wanted to know whether a hero couldn't resist a beauty or if catastrophe makes everyone fly their own way. Wang Han was doing this tricky work for the very first time.

Besides Wang Han wanting to hear it, Jin Qiao wanted to hear it; even Xiao Yue, lying on the bed with a face full of resentment, focused all her energy, wanting to know what position she held in Geng Bucuo's heart.

Geng Bucuo was still being controlled, and before his immortal energy was absorbed, he was like a person free of worry, able to have his own thoughts.

He calmed his mind and asked himself whether strength was more important or Xiao Yue. He wanted to deceive himself by saying Xiao Yue was more important than his strength, trying to muddle through, but when giving the answer, Geng Bucuo still gave a heartless response: "In this Divine Realm where power is revered, strength is more important than women."

A sentence stating strength is more important than women was like a heavy blow, knocking Xiao Yue into a daze.

The man who listened to Xiao Yue's every word did not ultimately choose Xiao Yue in the end, rendering Xiao Yue dizzy and filled with sorrow.

Wang Han was unsurprised by this, clapping her hands and praising Geng Bucuo for being a man who dared to tell the truth. She also commented that Geng Bucuo's choice was actually correct, because Xiao Yue originally didn't fancy Geng Bucuo, and if he became a lower deity, she'd scorn him even more. A lower deity wishing to pair with an upper deity—it's an impossibility in this lifetime.

"Men, they are actually similar to women; when nothing affects their own interests, they'll choose love because love is their spiritual sustenance. But when it involves real sustenance, that's not the case; they'll choose to protect themselves first, then think of their beloved spiritual sustenance, just like you chose to be with Geng Bucuo after not getting Tang Rao's answer. You don't truly love him, and he doesn't like you that much either. The earlier words were just a small test of your relationship, and clearly, neither of you passed. You should thank me for it."

Wang Han felt extremely proud of her actions.

"Get out, get out now!"

Geng Bucuo stood still, spared by Wang Han, still savoring Wang Han's words, while Xiao Yue had already got up restlessly from bed, pointing at Wang Han's nose, scolding, and urging Wang Han to leave immediately.

Regardless, she achieved her purpose. She came here not wanting Xiao Yue to feel good. Now she merely carried out something as expected, something within her predictions. She should feel happy, but indeed, seeing a relationship transform from illusion to reality, from imagined beauty to real fracture, in these stages, naturally, no one is at fault. They merely stand in their positions, selfishly desiring a bit of greed, which led them here.

Taking one last look at Xiao Yue with disheveled hair and distracted gaze, seeming as if her immortal energy was drained, Wang Han left Xiao Yue's room without any defense.

Only Geng Bucuo and Xiao Yue were left in the room, Xiao Yue looked at Geng Bucuo, eyes filled with an interrogative gaze.

Like a superior to a subordinate.

"What you said earlier, was it all true?"

Xiao Yue shouldn't care about this relationship, like Geng Bucuo said earlier, choosing strength over Xiao Yue—those words should make Xiao Yue happy, dancing around and sharing with her other brothers.

She believed she could easily sever the feelings Geng Bucuo had for her, but now realized that she became dependent on the sentiments Geng Bucuo poured forth.

Even if she didn't like Geng Bucuo, having a bit more people care, a bit more people genuinely care—that feeling was much better than feeling alone.

"Xiao Yue, I'm sorry, I know I shouldn't deceive my heart, I do like you, I admit you're the woman who moves me the most that I've seen, but you saw, if I didn't say those words earlier, do you think I would survive? Maybe now I'd just be a lower deity, one who's utterly useless."

As cultivators alike, strength is their life; truly put oneself in someone else's shoes, and one must understand. If Xiao Yue were threatened, she'd choose her strength before considering true love.

Not to mention Geng Bucuo was not Xiao Yue's true love.

"Leave, you too leave, all of you leave!"

She had calmed down and figured things out, yet for some reason lost control again, looking at Geng Bucuo as if he were a stranger, asking him to leave too.

Geng Bucuo was conscientious, fearing that upon his departure, Xiao Yue would think things over too much and encounter misfortune, leading to losses for the entire Kao Shan Sect.

Geng Bucuo had intended to comfort Xiao Yue, but Xiao Yue simply grabbed all the throwable things by the bedside and hurled them at Geng Bucuo, causing him to flee in panic, dare not stay longer in Xiao Yue's room and wait to be hit.

"Miss, that was truly exhilarating, but you were so bold, aren't you afraid of being scolded by your husband?"

Beside the pond, Jin Qiao noticed no one was around the rockery, only then did she relax, allowing whatever she wanted to say to come from her mouth.

"Why blame me? I merely spoke some truths and did some good deeds; Tang Rao should thank me, not blame me. On what ground would he say that?"

After being the boss's daughter on West Island for so many years, Wang Han always felt her actions were correct, feeling others blaming her was merely seeking trouble for her.
