Chapter 2045: You Are The Only One

some self-reproach, "Brother, I got so caught up in my work that I completely forgot to write a letter to Ajing. He must be very worried about my health.""I'm afraid he still thinks I was tormented to...Yunliu's actions made Ning'er gasp in surprise, her eyes widening. She instinctively raised her hands and placed them across her chest.

She wanted to push him away with all her might, but for some reason, just before her hands could exert force, she suddenly remembered the wound on his chest.

As long as she pushed hard enough, he would definitely recoil in pain, giving her the opportunity to break free.

But her hands, no matter what, couldn't bring themselves to hurt him.

Ninger clenched her fists, determined to make Yunliu understand her stance. All she could do now was grit her teeth.

I thought that would stop him from getting any further, but Yunliu was determined today to get an answer from her.

At this moment, seeing Ning'er's reluctance to hurt him, he became even more emboldened.

He gripped her waist tightly with one hand, and with the other, he cupped the back of her head, forcefully biting her lips, impatiently invading and entwining with her.

The more Ning'er struggled, the tighter his confinement became, deepening this aggressively invasive kiss.

After some time, Yunliu noticed Ninger's stiff body gradually soften. She no longer resisted as before, and his kiss became gentler.

And he could clearly feel that Ning'er was also responding, though she wasn't showing it outwardly. But he knew Ning'er; he understood that this response was already the greatest extent she was capable of.

The two embraced for a while, Yunliu though reluctant, sensed Ning'er's breathing becoming labored. He then reluctantly let her go.

Even after his lips loosened, his left hand remained firmly around Ning'er's waist, afraid that if he wasn't careful, she would slip away from him.

Their foreheads touched, their breaths coming in ragged gasps.

After a moment of silence, Yunliu raised an eyebrow and spoke in a husky voice, "Ning'er, is there anything else you want to say Even now, do you not wish to admit that there is a place for me, Yunliu, in your heart"

Ning'er's eyes, filled with complex emotions, stared unblinkingly at Yun Liu's eyes, which shone like lights.

She admitted that she liked Yunliu's boldness, his daring personality, and the way he seemed rough around the edges but had a meticulous heart.

She has spent her whole life in Xumtang Valley, only wielding a sword and spear. The only thought in her heart is to protect the Princess and those she loves.

When she chose to stay in Xuntang Valley that year, all she wanted was to live up to the cultivation her valley master had given her over the years.

I just want to live up to my former master's kindness when they saved me.

Over the years, she has always kept her village chief's teachings in mind, always remembering that as a member of Xuntang Valley, one should not be swayed by seven emotions and six desires.

She didn't know which link had gone wrong, but she unwittingly let Yunliu move into her heart. This caused unexpected twists and turns in her carefully planned life.

But she knew this kind of accident was very fatal, it shouldn't happen to either her or Yunliu.

If left to develop unchecked, it will lead to the deaths of both parties.

Such things are not without precedent. Both those who were once in Xintang Valley and Fu'er have already given her a perfect interpretation of their valley master's determination.

To stay in Xuntang Valley, to stay in Beijiang Wangfu, to continue staying by her side as his princess, one could not have the seven emotions and six desires.

Thinking of this, Ning'er closed her eyes deeply. She took a deep breath and calmed herself. When she opened her eyes, the desire in her eyes had vanished completely.

She was now staring blankly at Yunliu, as if everything that had just happened held no meaning for her.

Yunliu couldn't stand her cold attitude, his eyes narrowed at once. He suddenly bumped her forehead gently with his own, "Ning'er, answer me. Don't think you can get away with this again. What is it What are you afraid of that makes you hide like this"

Ning'er did not answer his question, but countered with, "If we were together, it would mean losing my status as a protector of the Bei Jiang Wangfu. It would mean I couldn't stay by the king and queen's side any longer, continuing to serve them. What then"

"!" That exclamation made Yunliu's face grow serious.

There was a hint of confusion in his eyes, "Ning'er, are you saying that if we truly love each other and are destined to be together, then we would have to give up everything we have now and leave the prince and princess's side"

By now, Ning'er knows that if she doesn't explain things clearly to Yunliu, he will just keep pestering her.

Even if she could leave this house today, Yunliu would find a way to lure her back tomorrow or the day after, demanding an answer from her.

If that's the case, it's better to let him know the truth sooner and completely sever ties between them.

Thinking this way, Ning'er let out a slight sigh in her heart and took a step back.

Luckily, Yunliu was also willing to let go of her waist at that moment. The two walked over to a nearby chair and sat down.

Yunliu's stubborn gaze remained fixed on Ninger, determined to make her explain herself.

Ning'er didn't try to hide it either, saying plainly, "There won't be a future between us. Yunliu, give up, and stop pursuing this further. It will only hurt both of us."

Yunliu frowned, "What do you mean In our Beijang王府, the prince never interferes with the emotional matters of his subordinates. And although we have fought and died for the prince, he doesn't treat us as expendable soldiers."

"In the palace, we are allowed to marry and have children. Why don't you and I have a future"

"If you're worried that the Princess won't let us be together, there's no need. You heard what she said just now, didn't you The Princess is clearly happy for us. Where is there any resistance between us We have feelings for each other, so why are you being so hesitant"

When he got to the exciting part, Yunliu suddenly reached out and grabbed Ning'er's hand that was on the table, squeezing it tightly. He urged, "Ning'er, you've seen the current state of affairs in the world today. Our Wangfu has many enemies."

The court of the Tianba Kingdom is in turmoil, both internally and externally. Those eyeing our Beijang Prince's Mansion are not just the emperor and those princes in the capital, but also the surrounding countries. They are all watching the movements of our Beijang Prince's Mansion.

As he spoke, Yunliu grew increasingly agitated. He gripped Ning'er's hand tighter, his eyes pleading, his voice a soft whisper, "Ning'er, after leaving Youlan City, I don't know if I can even make it back to the palace alive. I don't know if I'll ever see you again."

"At that moment, I deeply regretted not having said everything I wanted to tell you when I was still in the palace."

"I never thought in my life that I would be lonely forever. I thought I would only care about the future of the Wangfu and the safety of the prince. I never imagined that I would fall for a woman."

"It's funny, isn't it Your appearance has added so many unexpected twists and turns to my life."

If you ask me what it is about you that attracts me, I can't say. But I just know, my heart belongs to only you.mmediately thought of what Xunhong had said.Not only did Fu'er give away the jade pendant that represented her identity as a disciple of Xuntang Valley, but she also revealed the method to crack the v...
