Chapter 199 Thanks
Chapter 199 Thanks
Kyoto base, Lin Fengmu's home.
When Yu Yao teleported directly to him, avoiding everyone, he was working in his study.
When Lin Fengmu saw Yu Yao, he was stunned for a moment, followed by a strange panic.
"Little Fish?"
Yu Yao looked at him and smiled slightly.
"Brother Feng Mu, I've come to give you a thank-you gift."
Lin Fengmu's expression gradually darkened, and he couldn't help but chuckle softly.
"Because of A-Zhao?"
Yes, but more than that.
Lin Fengmu paused, then asked in a deep voice, "Does Chi Heng have it too?"
"No."
"why?"
why?
Yu Yao herself wanted to know.
Can she ever repay what she owes Chi Heng?
The fountain pen between Lin Fengmu's fingers creaked as he gripped it, his hand trembling uncontrollably.
He persisted, asking, "Why don't you give him a thank-you gift? Why do you have to give me one? Why?"
“We’re teammates, so I can give him anything good anytime.”
Lin Fengmu chuckled, his clear black and white eyes filled with sorrow and questioning.
"Really? Is it really because you're teammates? Or is it because you like him and separated him from me early on?"
Yu Yao frowned. "I just owe him too much."
"So you're planning to pay it back yourself?" Lin Fengmu asked sharply for once.
Yu Yao's gaze suddenly turned cold.
"Do you want to listen carefully to what you're saying?"
Lin Fengmu closed his eyes weakly.
"I'm sorry, Little Fish... I'm so sorry..."
Before Yu Yao could speak, Lin Fengmu continued, "Do you really... dislike me that much?"
Looking into his sorrowful eyes, Yu Yao said earnestly, "Ye Xuanmin is no longer the Ye Xuanmin she used to be. I believe she is the most suitable for you now."
Lin Fengmu smiled.
"You don't actually think that saying things I don't want to hear will make me give up on you, do you?"
Yu Yao was somewhat puzzled.
“I don’t think there’s anything about me that you should like or that makes you want to wait. A boring and selfish person like me should be alone, and you deserve someone better.”
"Do not."
Lin Fengmu shook his head rapidly and quickly went around from behind the desk to try to get in front of Yu Yao.
But her slight step back actually hurt him.
"Why say such things? Why use those things to measure a person's feelings? Why can't I like you? I just like you. I liked you the moment I saw you after the apocalypse, for no reason at all. And you've never been a boring or selfish person. You're cute, interesting, sensitive, and insightful. You're so wonderful, why belittle yourself like this?"
Lin Fengmu became more and more excited as he spoke, his beautiful phoenix eyes filled with deep affection, but Yu Yao remained calm throughout.
"Thank you for your kind words, but I still don't think we're a good match."
"So, do you think you and Chi Heng are a good match?"
Yu Yao remained silent for a moment.
"......I have no idea."
"hehe......"
Lin Fengmu's eyes were bloodshot, and her expression was one of utter despair.
"It's just not right for me, and I just don't know what to do with him. Little Fish, you've already made your decision, haven't you?"
Yu Yao lowered her eyes in deep thought.
"Really......"
"Little Fish, may I hug you?"
Lin Fengmu looked at Yu Yao, his broken expression tinged with a fragile hope.
I really want to hug you...
Yu Yao shook her head gently and took a step back once more.
"This is not the kind of behavior that should occur between ordinary men and women."
If Chi Heng hadn't hugged her twice, she wouldn't have realized his intentions.
Lin Fengmu gave a bitter laugh, and the Immortal Binding Rope suddenly appeared, binding Yu Yao tightly and pulling her into Lin Fengmu's arms.
With a flash of spiritual energy from Yu Yao's fingertips, the Binding Immortal Rope flew back into Lin Fengmu's body.
"Can you not push me away? Just this once."
Lin Fengmu held her tightly in his arms, trembling slightly.
His cheek was buried in Yu Yao's neck, and hot tears dripped one by one onto the crook of her neck.
"You cried?"
"Yeah, I was rejected by the girl I love. Shouldn't I cry?"
"Then... after you've finished crying, let go."
Yu Yao genuinely doesn't have a romantic mindset; she can't understand why someone would cry after being rejected.
In her view, if you are rejected, you should neatly put your mind at ease.
There are plenty of people in this world. Only by not getting stuck with the wrong ones can you find the right one.
Lin Fengmu nestled against Yu Yao's neck and quickly shook his head, remaining silent.
While Yu Yao remained silent, Lin Fengmu calmed himself down for a long time before slowly releasing Yu Yao.
As he gradually straightened up, a pitch-black area slowly opened up behind him.
"I know you're stronger than me now, but... I have my own methods, and you even delivered yourself to me. Little Fish, if you're with Chi Heng, remember to be happy. If I find out you're not doing well, I really won't be able to resist grabbing you and locking you up."
“You can’t keep me locked up,” Yu Yao said.
She knew that Lin Fengmu had long since comprehended the power of space, but it wouldn't be easy to imprison her.
Even though she hadn't yet been able to comprehend the fragment of the copied spatial law power that could only be unlocked at level 55.
If Lin Fengmu had had this thought a few months ago, it might have caused her some trouble.
But now, that's not possible.
All the thoughts flashed through her mind in an instant before Yu Yao continued, "But... thank you for your concern. No matter who I'm with, my primary goal is to be happy, and no one can affect me."
"Okay, that's good~ I can rest assured now. If he ever makes you unhappy, come find me."
Yu Yao's beautiful brows furrowed slightly.
"I won't. I won't keep a backup plan. From the moment I rejected you, I will never have any emotional entanglement with you again."
She couldn't do such a thing.
If you don't like someone, you should clearly refuse and let him go find his true love.
Lin Fengmu's eyes were still a little red, filled with moisture, making her even more stunning.
"I understand... Don't worry, as long as you're happy, I won't do anything to bother you."
Yu Yao always felt that what he said was not the same as what she said.
But she couldn't control so much, so she immediately took out the thank-you gifts she had prepared for Lin Fengmu and placed them one by one on his desk, bypassing him.
A "Cosmic Pearl" of pseudo-divine quality in the light element can be activated to temporarily create a light-elemental domain determined by the user's abilities.
Its master is an invincible being inside.
A magical artifact called the "Demon-Slaying Sword," a finely crafted longsword in bright silver, specifically designed to subdue demons and evil spirits.
A flying artifact called "Light Wings".
"These are gifts to thank you for saving me many times and for helping me find my brother's soul."
Lin Fengmu lowered her eyes and looked at them one by one, but did not say anything to refuse.
Instead, he deliberately cut his finger and dripped the blood onto several different things.
He quickly absorbed the Demon-Slaying Sword and the Wings of Light into his body, but he left the Celestial Pearl outside.
Yu Yao didn't care why he did that and quickly left his study.
So no one saw that he simply reached out and gently beckoned, and as the Cosmic Pearl flew toward him, it slowly transformed into a warm white jade ring, which was securely placed on the ring finger of his left hand.
His control was so strong that he was able to do this.
Even Yu Yao herself probably couldn't do it.
Only after confirming that Yu Yao had really left did Lin Fengmu's smile gradually disappear, and he leaned against the desk as if all his strength had left him.
A few seconds later, he began to slowly slide down the desk.
Only when he sat down on the ground, exhausted, did he bury his face in his arms and fall into a deathly silence.
