Chapter 3: I’ve Agreed, So Let’s Settle This

Chu Qingyue’s face had turned bright red, and her eyes sparkled like the setting sun, making her look extremely captivating.

Nie Chen had long understood that he had been pushed to a dead end.

There were only two possible outcomes when confessing to the Empress: either he would fail and be killed by the cultivators outside, or he would succeed and obtain the Empress’s favor, thereby gaining a chance to survive.

Nie Chen spoke with sincerity and passion: “What does it matter if I’m from the Demonic Sect or if there’s a difference in our status? I, Nie Chen, have dared to come alone to the Heavenly Cloud Palace, putting my life on the line, just to deliver this letter to you in person.”

Chu Qingyue’s heart seemed to have been pierced by an invisible arrow, and the arrowhead was shaped like a heart.

She had read about romantic declarations in books, but she had never heard anyone express their love so resolutely.

Nie Chen continued, “Even if I die because of this, I won’t regret it one bit!”

Upon hearing these words, Chu Qingyue’s heart became even more chaotic, and she couldn’t help but look at Nie Chen.

His hair was as black as jade, and his eyes shone like stars. He wore a black robe that fluttered gently in the wind, and his presence was majestic.

Chu Qingyue felt a sense of sincerity emanating from Nie Chen’s eyes.

“Do you really love me so much that you’re willing to risk your life?” she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.

This time, her words revealed a hint of vulnerability.

Nie Chen’s eyes shone with determination. “Of course, my love for you is like a flowing river that will never change, not even until the seas dry up and the rocks crumble. If you don’t believe me, I’m willing to prove it with my life!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Nie Chen drew his sword and placed it against his neck, ready to make good on his promise.

“Stop!” Chu Qingyue cried out, her last line of defense crumbling.

If someone was willing to risk their life to deliver a love letter, what did it matter if they were from the Demonic Sect?

Perhaps love was meant to be absurd and contradictory.

A golden light burst forth from Chu Qingyue’s hand, knocking the sword out of Nie Chen’s grasp.

“Enough,” she said, her voice trembling. “If you really love me as you say, then I’ll agree to be with you.”

At this moment, Chu Qingyue couldn’t bear to look at Nie Chen’s eyes.

She felt her face burning with embarrassment, and her emotions were in turmoil.

Nie Chen quickly kicked the sword aside and rushed to Chu Qingyue’s side, embracing her gently.

“Thank you, Empress Qingyue,” he whispered.

“I’m only agreeing to this temporarily,” Chu Qingyue said, her voice barely above a whisper. “Don’t think you can take advantage of me.”

Nie Chen smiled and replied, “I understand, Empress.”

“Don’t call me Empress anymore,” Chu Qingyue said, her face still flushed. “You’ve risked your life to come to the Heavenly Cloud Palace. Now that you’ve succeeded in your confession, don’t you dare call me Empress again.”

“What should I call you, then?” Nie Chen asked.

“Chu Qingyue… no, just Qingyue is fine,” she replied, her voice barely above a whisper.

Nie Chen smiled, feeling a sense of joy and accomplishment.

“Congratulations, host, on successfully captivating the Empress,” a voice said, followed by the sound of a system reward.

Nie Chen looked at the system rewards and smiled.

He had obtained the Ancient Sacred Body, Heavenly Luck, and a random draw from the system’s treasure trove.

The Ancient Sacred Body was a mysterious and precious reward that emitted a unique aura, capable of captivating the hearts of those with unstable Dao hearts.

As soon as Nie Chen’s body transformed into the Ancient Sacred Body, Chu Qingyue’s eyes became misty, and her Dao heart began to waver.

“Ah,” she whispered, her voice barely audible.

Nie Chen’s eyes shone with excitement as he realized the power of the Ancient Sacred Body.

“Listen,” Chu Qingyue said, her voice still trembling. “I’ve agreed to be with you, but there are still some things I need to tell you.”

Her slender fingers touched Nie Chen’s chest, and her eyes sparkled with a mix of emotions.
