179: Yue Qingmeng’s inner self-narration and determination!

Yue Xiyan stared blankly at Yue Qingmeng, not expecting that while she had hesitated for so long, her disciple had already known...

As the saying goes, those involved are confused, while bystanders are clear.

For her and Li Shengyuan, spending so much time alone together might have seemed like perfectly normal behavior.

But to others, it was a different story...

Although they had never made any public announcements, from their occasional actions, everyone around them could see that their relationship was unusual.

Yue Qingmeng was a bit slow to catch on, initially worried about their safety Outside the Pass, and then about Li Shengyuan’s safety during his tribulation.

But after a month, even without anyone pointing it out, she had noticed some irregularities.

Actually, in this world, the relationship between Li Shengyuan and their master-disciple duo was not considered unusual.

After all, in this world, strength reigns supreme!

Yue Qingmeng sat beside her Master, looking down at the ground like a child who had made a mistake.

Yue Xiyan stared blankly at Yue Qingmeng, unsure what to say for a moment.

Yue Qingmeng’s mood was a bit low as she said:

“Mengmeng knows she’s a bit slow, and timid, not as likable… But with Master taking me as a disciple and teaching me so many skills, Mengmeng is truly grateful to Master!”

“When I first met Li Dage in Yanwang City, I felt he was so amazing, but Mengmeng didn’t even dare to speak to him…”

Yue Xiyan listened quietly, her jade hands unconsciously clenching her skirt, somewhat afraid to look at her.

Yue Qingmeng paused for a moment, then showed a genuine smile of joy, saying happily:

“Although… although there was a slight unexpected factor in the relationship between Mengmeng and Li Dage, Mengmeng is so happy in her heart. At that time, I just thought it would be great to always follow Li Dage. It was Li Dage who helped me break through to the sixth rank…”

A blush of shyness appeared on Yue Qingmeng’s face, and then she said somewhat nervously:

“But after knowing about your arrival, Master, Mengmeng became so nervous. You would definitely find out that I had already lost my virginity…”

“Knowing that you weren’t angry, Mengmeng was truly so happy!”

Yue Qingmeng’s eyes were a little misty, and full of longing.

“Later, during the great battles at Giant Spirit Hall and Shanhai Pass, Mengmeng’s strength was insufficient to fight alongside Li Dage, but it was enough to always cheer him on from behind, just like Sister Shen and Sister Mu…”

“Sister Mu even secretly told me that as long as Li Dage doesn’t abandon her, she’ll be content to quietly support him from behind, no matter what he does in the future. At that time, Mengmeng thought the same, but didn’t dare to say it…”

Yue Qingmeng lowered her head, nervously clutching her skirt, sounding incredibly humble. This was the first time in her life she had spoken so much of her true feelings without stopping.

Yue Xiyan looked at her disciple with a complex expression, reaching out to pull her into her embrace. She didn’t interrupt her, listening quietly as she recounted her story.

Her thoughts also drifted into memories.

Yue Qingmeng wriggled, finding a comfortable position, then whispered:

“Later, when we arrived at Shanhai Pass, and I learned that Master and Li Dage were going to the dangerous Far North, Mengmeng was truly so worried. You and Li Dage, along with my Senior Sister, are the most important people to me in this world… But I never received any news from you and Li Dage, only knowing from General Li that you were still alive…”

“Mengmeng constantly hoped that you and Li Dage would return safely soon. Later, when I saw Li Dage fighting that second-rank cultivator, I was both nervous and excited, especially when I saw Li Dage win. I was so excited that I couldn’t sleep for days, just hoping that you and Li Dage would come back soon.”

At this point, Yue Qingmeng’s adorable little face was flushed with excitement.

“However, what awaited us was the appearance of two second-rank cultivators from the Demonic Cult Outside the Pass of Shanhai Pass. Mengmeng thought we were truly doomed and would never see you and Li Dage again!”

Yue Qingmeng’s nervous little face was taut, but soon she broke into a radiant smile.

“Fortunately, you and Li Dage finally arrived! Seeing Li Dage and you standing before Shanhai Pass, blocking the second-rank experts of the Demonic Cult and the Demon-Barbarian Allied Army from Outside the Pass, Mengmeng was incredibly excited!”

“At that moment, I felt that Li Dage was the greatest hero in the world, that he saved Shanhai Pass and countless common people of the Northern Territory…”

Yue Qingmeng’s gaze was hazy, her thoughts returning to the scene over a month ago. Even now, recalling it, she still became immersed.

Yue Xiyan was also somewhat dazed. At that time, they had just returned from the Far North, having spent a year alone together, becoming the closest people to each other.

Yue Qingmeng continued with a misty gaze:

“At that time, watching Master and Li Dage stand side by side in front of Shanhai Pass, I thought you two were so well-matched, a perfect couple with both talent and beauty, and both so strong. Mengmeng was extremely envious…”

Yue Qingmeng’s eyes gradually dimmed, and her mood became low, “Unlike Mengmeng, I can only stand far behind and silently pray for him, and sometimes I even have to distract him to protect me, only being a burden to Li Dage…”

“During this time, Mengmeng also gradually noticed that Master was too concerned about Li Dage. Later, thinking about how long you two spent alone together, and seeing the incredibly gentle gazes you exchanged, Mengmeng thought that perhaps you two were the most well-matched pair!”

Yue Qingmeng’s eyes gradually became moist, with tears welling up. With red eyes, she choked out:

“Mengmeng will bless Master and Li Dage. From now on, I won’t disturb you two anymore. I’ll just quietly cultivate in the sect and not go anywhere…”

Seeing this, Yue Xiyan’s heart tightened. She held her tightly in her embrace, her voice soft with tenderness, “No, Mengmeng, it’s Master who has wronged you!”

Yue Qingmeng raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, then took a deep breath, looked up at Yue Xiyan, and forced a strong smile, saying:

“Master, you don’t need to blame yourself. You should cultivate well. Mengmeng will leave now!”

“Goodbye, Master!”

Yue Qingmeng forcefully broke free from Yue Xiyan’s weak and soft embrace, intending to run away.

But as soon as she stood up, she felt herself bump into a solid chest, and her slender waist was tightly embraced.

“Li Dage hasn’t even spoken yet, where is Mengmeng going?!”

Yue Qingmeng froze for a moment. Hearing Li Shengyuan’s gentle voice and feeling his familiar aura, her strong facade finally crumbled.

Tears streamed down her face, quickly blurring her vision, but she bit her cherry lips tightly, refusing to make a sound.

Her two delicate jade hands, however, tightly clutched Li Shengyuan’s robe. Although she had spoken those words with firm resolve, her heart was still filled with immense reluctance!

Li Shengyuan looked at the delicate girl in his arms and couldn’t help but sigh deeply…

He had heard every word Yue Qingmeng said. He never expected that the seemingly delicate Yue Qingmeng, usually so timid, would be so firm and resolute in her love and her master-disciple bond!

If another woman had said those words, it might have been a manipulative attempt to gain sympathy.

But Yue Qingmeng, who would blush and become shy just talking to strangers on a normal day, such a pure and adorable girl, surely had no other hidden motives!

These words were all her genuine feelings!

Li Shengyuan cupped Yue Qingmeng’s tear-streaked face and said solemnly and seriously:

“Mengmeng, starting that night, Li Dage told you that in this life, you can only be mine. No one can make you leave!”

“Including yourself!”
