Zi Han has always been pursuing the Heavenly Dao, never having been swayed by worldly feelings—how could she have someone she likes?
Moreover, they've always been together, so even if Zi Han has someone she likes, Qing Ge would surely know.
"I know you're shocked," Zi Han said. "But I have never expressed these feelings before, so you were unaware."
Zi Han indeed has someone she likes, but she hid it so deeply that even Qing Ge hadn't noticed.
"Impossible!" Qing Ge was still unable to accept it. "You've always been with me, when did you have the time to develop feelings and like someone else?"
"It's true," Zi Han said. "You're my best friend, I wouldn't lie to you!"
"When did this happen?"
The fact that Zi Han has feelings for someone left Qing Ge anxious, disrupting all her plans.
The Mysterious Maiden Skill is an unusual cultivation technique that lets the cultivator fall into worldly attachments. Qing Ge had Zi Han cultivate this method entirely to pave the way for Ye Chen!
But now that Zi Han has feelings for someone else, all her plans were disrupted because Qing Ge could not interfere with Zi Han's emotions. If Zi Han doesn't like Ye Chen, then everything is for naught!
Yet Qing Ge knew Zi Han extremely well—how could she have attachments? It doesn't make sense!
"It was a very long time ago. I only saw that person once, but instantly fell for them," Zi Han said.
"Who was it?" Qing Ge asked. "Where did you see him, was it in our universe or in the Void Battlefield?"
Zi Han had already cultivated the Mysterious Maiden Skill; if she truly has someone she likes, then Ye Chen has no chance.
But who could it be that made Zi Han fall for him at first sight?
"I don't know who that person was," Zi Han said. "Back then, when we first entered the Void Battlefield, wandering aimlessly, one day..."
Back then, Zi Han and Qing Ge had just entered the place and were scattered by a group of transcendental beasts. At that time, Zi Han had not yet reached transcendental limits, she was surrounded and attacked by the beasts, on the brink of death.
But just when Zi Han was at death's door, a majestic figure appeared, obliterated the enormous beast horde with a single punch, and saved her.
His charisma was astounding and his solitary punch dominated all—this shocked Zi Han and simultaneously gave rise to a kind of infatuation...
He was the person in Zi Han's heart!
However, after saving Zi Han, the man vanished without a trace as if he never existed.
Furthermore, the man was shrouded in a mysterious aura; Zi Han only saw a silhouette and didn't even glimpse his true face.
Yet just based on this single-minded obsession, Zi Han had continued to like him, never forgetting.
"That battle was exceedingly perilous, nearly causing disaster for both of us, but I never imagined you'd have such an encounter."
Having been saved by a mysterious powerhouse from the surrounding transcendental beasts, Qing Ge was left sighing after learning about this.
Moreover, after saving Zi Han, the man left directly without saying a single word... It's pitiful that Zi Han has always harbored affection, yet never knew who he was, or even what he looked like.
"I've been hiding this feeling, hoping to find that person and express my liking."
"But thousands of years have passed, and he has never appeared—it's as if he never existed."
The long-suppressed emotions brought Zi Han melancholy, but revealing them lifted a burden from her shoulders.
"That person should be a Heavenly Dao powerhouse, a dominator in the Void Battlefield..." Qing Ge mused. "But not knowing his identity, or even his true face, how can you search for him?"
Things turned somewhat unexpected, but fortunately not too dreadful, allowing Qing Ge to relax a bit.
Admittedly, Zi Han fell for that person, but the person is shrouded in mystery—what comes of loving him?
This is destined to be a fruitless relationship!
Ye Chen still has a chance!
"I know his identity is mysterious, but I haven't given up and have always been searching..." Zi Han said. "And I believe, someday I'll find him and confess what's in my heart."
"Don't be silly, you can't be together," Qing Ge retorted bluntly. "You can't forget him, but does he even remember you?"
After saving Zi Han, the man disappeared into thin air, evidently not wanting further entanglement.
Even if Zi Han still harbors feelings, it's just one-sided; perhaps the man has long forgotten her.
"But I..." Zi Han hesitated.
What Qing Ge said wasn't unreasonable, yet Zi Han just couldn't forget.
Furthermore, having cultivated the Mysterious Maiden Skill, Zi Han's feelings for him were now magnified and constantly influencing her.
"Do you like Ye Chen?" Qing Ge asked. "Since you have someone you like, why do you want to kill Ye Chen?"
Because Ye Chen's bold confession stirred a heart demon within Zi Han, she wanted to kill Ye Chen to extinguish the heart demon.
But if Zi Han already harbors feelings for someone, how does Ye Chen affect her and become her heart demon?
To Qing Ge, it seemed too conflicting!
"I don't know," Zi Han said dejectedly. "I don't like Ye Chen, but I inexplicably think about him—I don't know what's going on."
Zi Han's insistence on killing Ye Chen wasn't entirely due to the heart demon; it was also due to this uncertainty.
For Zi Han already has someone she likes but inexplicably thinks about Ye Chen, it makes her feel fickle.
Zi Han's emotions are steadfast. Since she has someone she likes, she cannot like others.
If she has someone she likes yet also likes Ye Chen, what would she become?
"Perhaps your feelings for him aren't love, merely admiration!" Qing Ge said.
"Why do you say that?" Zi Han asked.
"Because who you keep thinking about is Ye Chen!" Qing Ge said. "Only by loving someone will you constantly miss them uncontrollably."
"What you truly think about is Ye Chen, and naturally you like him!"
"As for the mysterious figure, you likely feel gratitude and admiration towards him... That's not love, nor is it affection!"
The mysterious figure's appearance left Qing Ge's plans in disarray, almost leading to failure.
Fortunately, the man is so mysteriously elusive that Zi Han cannot pursue him, and Ye Chen still has hope!
Now, Qing Ge can only speak well of Ye Chen and diminish the mysterious man's presence.
"Do I like Ye Chen?"
Indeed, Qing Ge's words led Zi Han into deep reflection, as they didn't seem rational.
Back then when the mysterious figure appeared, Zi Han was attracted by his charisma, unable to forget to this day.
She thought it was love.
But Qing Ge's words overturned her thinking; perhaps it was merely admiration, or else, why would she think about Ye Chen?
"Perhaps you should accept Ye Chen, start a new relationship, and forget that mysterious figure," Qing Ge said. "After all, the mysterious figure is elusive, seemingly non-existent, yet Ye Chen is right here, tangible."
"This!" Qing Ge's heart was in turmoil; should she accept Ye Chen?
