Chapter 891: Chapter 914-915: Zhang Lijuan’s Confession
"Hehe, why are you looking at me like that? I was just joking with everyone. Do you think it’s strange that I’ve suddenly said something like this when I’m usually so serious?" Zhang Lijuan chuckled.
"It does feel weird, but today Lin Feng has returned, and everyone’s unusually happy. Maybe some things are inevitable. Anyway, I’m fine with it. If you find it noisy, just close your ears. Don’t you agree?" Princess Yiyi said.
Chu Linfeng looked at Princess Yiyi in amazement. He hadn’t seen her for half a year, and now she’s become so bold that she dares to speak such things in front of everyone. Truly, even a few days apart warrants a reevaluation!
Subsequently, Chu Linfeng and the four women ate together in the room, naturally with their wine glasses continuously filled. Initially, Zhang Lijuan advised the three women to drink sparingly, yet she ended up being the first to get drunk. Given her strength, it’s surprising for her to become intoxicated, but this time she was completely inebriated.
Such a situation occurs only if something is troubling her mind, and that concern is certainly related to Chu Linfeng’s return. Now that she’s become Human King, handling affairs meticulously, usually looking quite serious, everyone has given her a nickname: Cold and Glamorous Queen. This may be due to her learning from the Ice and Snow Fairy.
Although the three women were also drunk, it was easy to manage. Chu Linfeng simply carried them to bed. However, Zhang Lijuan couldn’t be carried there; after all, she’s not his woman, and she would probably get upset with him once she sobered up. Chu Linfeng had no choice but to assist her back to her own room.
After placing Zhang Lijuan on the bed, Chu Linfeng didn’t linger, preparing to leave. They’ve already made it clear that they cannot be together, even though he desires her. Yet, just as he turned to leave, Zhang Lijuan suddenly grabbed him, "Lin Feng, don’t go! Don’t go!"
Chu Linfeng suddenly felt at a loss. This troublesome girl was clearly tormenting him. "Lijuan, are you alright? Quickly let go, I really need to go back. Otherwise, should I call a maid to serve you?"
"Lin Feng, I’m not drunk, I’m really not drunk. Actually, I’ve been pretending. I can’t deceive myself anymore. Since you left, I’ve been thinking about you all the time. There were several times I wanted to come to the Death Tower Land to find you, but because I had just become Human King and had too many affairs to manage, I couldn’t come. I want to be your woman like Yiyi and Feifei, even if it’s just for one day, I’d be willing." Zhang Lijuan sat up and said seriously.
Chu Linfeng was a bit dumbfounded. This troublesome girl was really not drunk, her previous actions were all an act? What’s she doing, confessing her feelings or just speaking nonsense while drunk? He didn’t know what to do for a moment.
"Lijuan, you’re drunk, get some rest. I understand your feelings, but I’m about to leave the Netherworld. I really don’t want another woman to endure loneliness for a lifetime because of me. Such suffering is unbearable, I can’t hurt you!" Chu Linfeng said helplessly.
Actually, in his heart, he really wanted to take action, but today’s words from Princess Yiyi had struck a chord, stopping him from making a mistake again. Even if Sword Spirit allowed him, he couldn’t do so; he could only suppress the flames in his heart and release them with Lin Ruoxi and the other two women later.
"Lin Feng, I don’t mind, really! I’ve thought about it for a long time, and I finally gathered the courage to tell you this. Please don’t think I’m a frivolous person. I know the only man I can love in this lifetime is you. I don’t want to suffer in the future, so I must face reality." Zhang Lijuan said.
For the first time, Chu Linfeng felt powerless. Looking at Zhang Lijuan’s gentle and affectionate gaze, ripples stirred in his heart. "You truly don’t regret it? I can’t give you happiness but will instead bring you endless pain. You’re willing to endure that for thousands or even tens of thousands of years?"
"No regrets. If I regret anything, it’s that I didn’t have this determination half a year ago. Otherwise, I would have already been your woman. Feifei and Yiyi can bear it, why can’t I? Actually, my biggest wish is to have a child for you. Today is the best time; even if you’re not by my side, whenever I see the child, I won’t feel the pain." Zhang Lijuan said, choking a little.
Chu Linfeng felt overwhelmed. At this moment, she wants to have a child with him. He never even thought about this. What would happen if he left and they got bullied? Who would take care of them? It’s really perplexing.
"Lin Feng, what do you plan to do with her? Fulfill her wish or just leave her? I’m curious to hear your thoughts." Sword Spirit said at this moment.
"Sister Yue’Er, I really don’t know what to do. If we were in Canglan Ancient Land, I would agree to her request without hesitation. But here in the Netherworld, I truly don’t know what to do. Could you give me some advice?" Chu Linfeng quickly said, as if grabbing a lifeline.
"Do you love her, Lin Feng?" Sword Spirit asked simply.
"I don’t even know if it’s love. I just want to be close to her. I can’t tell if it’s because she’s beautiful or because the secrets on her attraction to me. I can’t figure it out now. Maybe I’m naturally a romantic person? If I do this, am I being inhumane?" Chu Linfeng asked.
"Do what you want to do; if it’s something you like, do it even if it’s wrong. That way, you won’t have regrets. Although I want to stop you from making her your woman, I understand this pain as a woman myself. Do whatever you want." Sword Spirit said.
At this point, there were subtle changes on Zhang Lijuan’s face, changes that Chu Linfeng didn’t notice. When he looked at Zhang Lijuan again, he realized her appearance was exactly like when he saw her bathing, beautiful—so beautiful, beyond compare.
"Lijuan, you? You?" Chu Linfeng didn’t know what to say. Zhang Lijuan suddenly jumped off the bed and threw herself into Chu Linfeng’s arms, sobbing, "Lin Feng, promise me. I want to have a child of ours. Actually, when you saw me at that time, I decided I’d become your woman.
I once vowed that if anyone saw my true face, if it was a man, they must either be my husband or die. For you, even if my strength is greater than yours, I wouldn’t take your life. The only way is for you to become my man.
I know this request is excessive, but I have to do it. Please forgive my selfishness! Lin Feng, love me well! Give me a delightful night, okay?"
