Chapter 2543: Are You Crazy?

The room door was pushed open with a bang. Ye Changqing, who had fallen into a deep sleep, was awakened immediately.

Being in such an environment, Ye Changqing naturally didn't dare to relax his vigilance. Even when he was sleeping, he always maintained absolute vigilance.

So, the moment Qiu Baiyi pushed the room door open, Ye Changqing woke up.

But before he could make any move, a pressure bound him directly.

Looking at Qiu Baiyi, who walked into the room with a flushed face, turned around to close it, and walked toward him step by step, Ye Changqing was numb.

This woman is not normal; she is definitely not normal. Coming to his room in the middle of the night with this expression—what does she want to do?

"What do you want to do?"

His body couldn't move, so he could only speak. Hearing this, Qiu Baiyi had already arrived at the bedside. How should one describe her expression? Very shy, but her eyes also revealed a firmness.

"Changqing, why is it that you just don't like me?"

She then asked with a resentful tone. Hearing this, Ye Changqing frowned deeply. What does this woman want to do?

"I... how can matters of the heart be forced?"

"Is that so? But I like you so much."

At the beginning, Qiu Baiyi might have wanted to keep Ye Changqing by her side more for the sake of that bite of food.

But as they spent time together during this period, although Ye Changqing hadn't done anything from start to finish...

For Qiu Baiyi, she had already fallen in love with this person unknowingly.

For Qiu Baiyi, who hadn't experienced love from childhood to adulthood, Ye Changqing's appearance allowed her to experience what it felt like to love someone.

So, she didn't know when it started, but Qiu Baiyi's feelings for Ye Changqing had changed completely.

And precisely because of this, after learning that Ye Changqing had used that Emperor-grade sound transmission talisman, Qiu Baiyi became so panicked.

Because she didn't know when Ye Changqing would leave her, and when Ye Changqing would meet his previous Dao companion and then abandon her.

So she couldn't sit still.

Looking at Qiu Baiyi, who was becoming increasingly abnormal, Ye Changqing was somewhat numb, but he still tried to persuade her with kind words, hoping to temporarily stabilize Qiu Baiyi.

"Valley Master, this... can you give me some time?"

"Unfortunately, I don't have time."

These words were originally meant to temporarily stabilize Qiu Baiyi, but her answer left Ye Changqing stunned.

What do you mean you don't have time? What are you saying? I don't understand at all.

But before Ye Changqing could figure it out, Qiu Baiyi had already sat on the bed and continued.

"Changqing, actually I have always wanted to win your heart. I don't want you to hate me, but... I'm sorry, I..."

"No, what are you doing? Why are you taking off your clothes?"

This was a "sorrowful" night. When he woke up the next morning, Qiu Baiyi finally woke up, and only then did she remove the restrictions on Ye Changqing.

Without the restraints, Ye Changqing jumped up immediately, looking at Qiu Baiyi with anger in his eyes.

"Are you crazy? I have a Dao companion!"

And Qiu Baiyi, on the contrary, had a calm expression, sitting on the bed and replying softly.

"I know."

"Then you still..."

"I don't want to leave you, so I will spare no effort, no matter what method I use."

"You..."

Crazy, this woman is truly crazy; she's completely beyond saving. Listen to this—is this something a human can say?

"Changqing, apart from forcefully kidnapping you to White Pine Valley, have I ever done anything to wrong you?"

After putting on her clothes, Qiu Baiyi looked at Ye Changqing calmly and asked.

Hearing this, Ye Changqing shook his head. Setting aside this matter, Qiu Baiyi could indeed be said to be obedient to him in every way.

Even when he secretly contacted the Tianhe Chamber of Commerce and purchased that Emperor-grade sound transmission talisman, Qiu Baiyi hadn't made the slightest attempt to stop him.

Even if she knew, she always pretended to be completely unaware.

"Then why do you refuse to accept me?"

This was the point Qiu Baiyi found most painful. She had clearly tried her best to learn how to love someone.

Although she knew nothing about these things, for Ye Changqing's sake, she could change; she could change anything, but why did Ye Changqing refuse to accept her?

She had clearly paid so much for him.

Facing Qiu Baiyi's inquiry, Ye Changqing was silent for a long time, and finally replied.

"Valley Master, is this really love?"

"Why wouldn't it be?"

Qiu Baiyi didn't understand, but for Ye Changqing, he always felt that what he had with Qiu Baiyi couldn't be called a relationship at all.

In Ye Changqing's view, Qiu Baiyi was doing this just for his culinary skills.

But what Ye Changqing didn't expect was that this woman, when she went crazy, would even give herself away.

This made Ye Changqing's heart somewhat chaotic; the price was a bit too high, wasn't it?

To be honest, a woman like Qiu Baiyi—what kind of man couldn't she find? There was no need to go this far.

In terms of looks, she wasn't inferior to the three women, Fairy Baihua; in terms of cultivation, she was even a step ahead of the three women. With Emperor Realm cultivation, her strength was even a notch stronger than Yun Xiantai's.

No matter from which aspect one looked at it, Qiu Baiyi could be called perfect.

But Ye Changqing didn't care about these things. He always felt that Qiu Baiyi was just after his culinary skills, so she wanted to tie him by her side.

Therefore, no matter how perfect Qiu Baiyi was, what did it have to do with him? Ye Changqing only thought about leaving.

But after last night's events, Ye Changqing was somewhat numb.

Is this woman playing for real?

Looking at Ye Changqing's complex expression, Qiu Baiyi also saw the change in his eyes, and she couldn't help but feel happy in her heart.

This was the first time Ye Changqing had shown such an expression toward her, unlike before, when he was always as calm as a stagnant pool, and no matter what she did, it seemed it couldn't affect him in the slightest.

Moving forward, she came in front of Ye Changqing. The two were extremely close, and Qiu Baiyi said softly.

"What exactly do you need for you to be willing to believe me?"

This question, Ye Changqing couldn't answer for a moment. What exactly was needed to believe her...

After a long silence, Ye Changqing finally said.

"I think we both need to calm down. I do, and you do too. Think clearly: do you really like me as a person, or do you like this culinary skill of mine?"

"If one day I no longer had this culinary skill, what would you do then?"

Culinary skill?

Hearing this, Qiu Baiyi was stunned. She hadn't thought about this question, and now she seemed to understand why Ye Changqing had always been so distant from her.

In his heart, she had never had any feelings for him; from beginning to end, it was all for those culinary skills.

Therefore, everything she had done before, in Ye Changqing's view, was acting.

Facing someone who was "acting," how could there be any fluctuations in his heart? How could he be moved?

She didn't even know when she had been pushed out of the room by Ye Changqing. Until the door closed with a bang, Qiu Baiyi finally came back to her senses. ===== CHAPTER 2544 =====
