Understanding that Xie Ling'er was talking about himself, Hu Xiaobei squinted his eyes...

Soon, Hu Xiaobei asked curiously, "That can't be right! You told me before that because of me, you faced a bottleneck, so you couldn't break through in a short time!"

Hu Xiaobei was truly puzzled...

Because she had indeed said before that because he had defeated her, she really couldn't break through in a short time.

Hearing Hu Xiaobei's astonished inquiry, Xie Ling'er smiled charmingly and said softly, "That was indeed the case before! But now, I have found a way to solve the problem!"

"You found a solution?"

As he asked this, Hu Xiaobei's expression changed slightly...

Soon, Hu Xiaobei said somewhat gloomily, "You... your so-called solution, it wouldn't... wouldn't involve killing me, would it?"

Hu Xiaobei remembered that she had said before that the way to solve her problem was to kill him!

Because if he were to die, her Heart Demon would completely disappear...

And then, it wouldn't be very difficult for her to break through.

Hearing Hu Xiaobei's apprehensive inquiry, Xie Ling'er was about to say something but before she could speak, Bai Xuening, who was standing on the side, spoke first...

"Xiaobei, what are you thinking? Even if Ling'er sister could kill herself, she wouldn't bear to kill you!"

As she said this, she turned her head toward Xie Ling'er and said softly, "Isn't that right? My Ling'er sister!"

Hearing such blatant teasing, Xie Ling'er's cheeks reddened slightly.

But she did not deny it...

From the first time she saw Hu Xiaobei, she had been deeply impressed by him!

Subsequently, Hu Xiaobei's behavior had deeply touched her heart, making her impression of him grow ever more favorable...

Now, she had truly fallen for Hu Xiaobei...

So Bai Xuening was right!

Even if it meant killing herself, she couldn't bear to harm Hu Xiaobei in the slightest!

...

"I really want to bite you right now!"

Looking at Xie Ling'er's charming appearance, Hu Xiaobei murmured earnestly...

Quickly, Hu Xiaobei said, "Alright, let's not talk about this for now, tell me now, what do you plan to do?"

Upon hearing Hu Xiaobei's question, Xie Ling'er, with a light laugh, said, "Before, I told you that to remove my Heart Demon, the only way was to kill you because when you die, the Heart Demon disappears."

"Yes, you did say that before, so... so that's why I was so worried just now."

"You don't need to worry because besides that method, there's another way that can also resolve my Heart Demon!"

"Really! Then quickly tell me, what is this other method?"

Glancing at Hu Xiaobei, Xie Ling'er said shyly, "This other method is actually for us to be together! As long as we completely merge into one, then you are no longer my enemy. I won't need to be wary of you anymore, and at that time, my Heart Demon will naturally disappear completely."

Hearing such a detailed explanation, Hu Xiaobei hesitated slightly.

Quickly, Hu Xiaobei exclaimed in surprise, "I never expected that there was such an option!"

Feeling Hu Xiaobei's surprise, Bai Xuening glanced at Xie Ling'er and teased softly, "What? Now that my good sister is confessing to you, you still plan to disagree?"

Hearing Bai Xuening's words, Xie Ling'er shyly looked at Hu Xiaobei...

She wanted to know what Hu Xiaobei was really thinking...

Glancing at Bai Xuening, Hu Xiaobei quickly said, "What are you talking about? How could I possibly disagree, I... I completely agree."

Hu Xiaobei wholeheartedly agreed!

Really!

He might as well have raised both feet to show his agreement!

"That's more like it!"

Seeing Hu Xiaobei nod, Bai Xuening smiled...

Hu Xiaobei took a deep breath and turned to the blushing Xie Ling'er, saying somewhat impatiently, "What should we do now? Skip all the steps and head straight to the bridal chamber?"

Hearing Hu Xiaobei speak so impatiently, she was taken aback for a moment!

Soon, she shyly glared at Hu Xiaobei and muttered, "You little bastard, what are you talking about! We don't need a bridal chamber; all I need is your agreement to be my lover, and my Heart Demon will naturally break itself."

"Is that so!"

Hu Xiaobei felt a tinge of disappointment...

Sensing Hu Xiaobei's disappointment, Xie Ling'er felt a sweet thrill...

She knew that Hu Xiaobei obviously cared about her!

In her happy moment, Hu Xiaobei composed himself and said, "I agree! I agree to be your lover!"

"Good! Since you agree, later on, you and the two elders from my family will protect me as I attempt to break through the last bottleneck and become a true Array Grandmaster!"

Array Masters need to break through their bottlenecks to transform into Grandmasters!

Xie Ling'er had encountered this bottleneck quite early, but previously she had never been confident enough to shatter it, so she had been stuck in the same place!

Now, she decided to break the final bottleneck and become an Array Grandmaster...

She knew it would be difficult to break through the ultimate bottleneck, but she still felt that she could succeed because there were so many people supporting her!

Soon, Xie Wenlei and Xie Wenqiang learned about Xie Ling'er's intent to break through the bottleneck...

Instantly, their expressions grew serious!

Previously, they had faced tests to become Array Grandmasters...

Thus, they knew just how difficult these tests could be.

To put it simply, out of ten people taking the test, often times not even one would succeed...

To be honest, they felt that their own success had been due to luck.

If they had to do it again, they themselves might very well fail...

Realizing this, they looked at Xie Ling'er with solemn deference...

"Family Head, have you... have you really thought this through? Actually... you don't need to force yourself to break through!"

"That's right, Family Head, if you're not prepared, the breakthrough might fail!"

They seriously tried to dissuade her...

Because they all knew, should the breakthrough fail, the consequences would be terrifying.

Hearing their earnest advice, Bai Xuening also became involuntarily nervous...

After looking at Xie Ling'er, she said, "Sister Ling'er, maybe… maybe you should really prepare a bit more! If you attempt the breakthrough now, it might… it could really be dangerous."

Hearing such advice, Xie Ling'er smiled...

She knew that these people were speaking for her own good...

She wasn't angry but calmly said, "I understand my own abilities very clearly! I know that if I don't break through now, it will become even harder later on, because gradually, my mental block will deepen, and by then, it will become even more difficult to break!"

Xie Ling'er knew that this bottleneck was difficult to overcome.

Yet, she still had to face it!

Because the more she feared it, the harder it would be to break through...

Hearing Xie Ling'er's somber explanation, everyone fell silent...

They knew she was right; constantly retreating would only make the bottleneck harder to confront...

Having understood this, they gave up on persuading her and prepared to wholeheartedly support her...
