Chapter 1475: Don't Get Too Close to Me

"You tell me to stay away from you, yet you silently sacrifice for me and do so many things for me. What is your motive in all this?" Chen Yu asked, puzzled.

"Everything I do is not for you, don't be so conceited." Ye Xinyu knitted her brows: "And don't listen to their nonsense; from now on, we shall each go our own way."

"Is that so? You were the one who killed those dozens of people at Xuanmiao Temple, and you were the one who destroyed the Xuanjue Great Array, right? If you hadn't destroyed the array, we would have paid a heavy price when we arrived at Xuanmiao Temple."

Chen Yu stepped over the ring of fire and said in a deep voice: "You silently sacrifice so much for me, yet you keep me in the dark. Do you want me to owe you for the rest of my life, never able to repay you?"

"Don't come any closer, or I really won't be polite to you." Ye Xinyu was furious. With a wave of her right hand, the stream water flowed upward, and with a *crack*, three ice arrows formed and pierced the ground right in front of Chen Yu, intending to stop him from advancing further.

Chen Yu stopped his steps and said helplessly: "If you really didn't want me to get close, you should have aimed these three arrows directly at my heart."

"Don't think I really wouldn't dare. I don't kill you only out of consideration for our past relationship as husband and wife. If you dare to push me further, you won't be able to bear the consequences." Ye Xinyu said coldly.

"Whatever the consequences, I am willing to bear them." Chen Yu smiled slightly, adopted a posture of pestering her relentlessly, and took another step forward.

"Stop right there." Ye Xinyu's delicate body trembled slightly. She pointed her right hand forward, and three cold currents suddenly formed, aiming straight at Chen Yu's chest: "If you dare to take another step forward, I really won't be polite."

"Then do it. If I die by your hand, I am willing." Chen Yu sighed and continued to walk forward.

"You..." Ye Xinyu was furious. She moved her right hand, and with several soft *swish* sounds, the three cold currents pierced through his chest.

Chen Yu let out a cry of pain and retreated three steps. His face was instantly covered in white frost; these cold currents surged into his body, making him feel as if his blood were about to freeze.

With a *thud*, he fell to one knee and his whole body began to tremble.

"Chen Yu..." Ye Xinyu exclaimed in shock. She hurriedly walked up and grabbed his hand: "What are you doing? Why didn't you dodge? You could have dodged it."

"If... you don't care about me in your heart, then just take your sword and kill me." Chen Yu pointed with his right hand, and Lichen appeared. He grabbed the hilt, handed it to Ye Xinyu, and held her hand, making her grip Lichen tightly.

Then he grabbed Ye Xinyu's hand and placed the sword against his own throat: "I would rather let you kill me than live like this, in such uncertainty."

Ye Xinyu's hand trembled. Suddenly, she gritted her teeth, snatched Lichen away, threw it far off, and said angrily: "You lied to me! You haven't seen me for so long, and the moment we meet, you lie to me. You're perfectly fine."

She crouched to the side, hugging her knees, and actually began to sob softly. Was she crying?

"Don't cry." Seeing her shed tears, Chen Yu panicked again. He hurriedly said: "I didn't mean it just now. I was truly injured just now; your cold energy almost froze my blood. Don't you know how ruthless you were?"

"But you're fine. You're just lying to me. Do all you men like to do this?" Ye Xinyu glared at Chen Yu and wiped away her tears.

"If I didn't lie to you, how would I know you care about me so much?" Chen Yu breathed a sigh of relief. She knew how to act spoiled now, so everything was fine.

She had been forcing herself to keep a straight face while talking to him earlier, but now she couldn't hold it anymore. Chen Yu walked to her side and slowly hugged her.

Ye Xinyu felt as if her body were melting. She pressed tightly against Chen Yu, feeling his hot chest, and murmured: "I really wish you could hold me like this forever."

A woman, no matter how fierce she acts on the surface, is ultimately a woman. She has her own fragile side. Ye Xinyu was like that now; although she put on a fierce appearance, in truth, when her heart was weak, she still hoped for her most beloved to be by her side to cherish her.

She was the same, so when Chen Yu brought out the same shameless persistence he used to pursue her back then, she began to melt again.

"You really are a bane." Ye Xinyu glared at him, then the two sat shoulder-to-shoulder in front of the fire. She murmured: "Did Xie Hongyan send you?"

"Yes. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have known where you were. I only sensed your aura, but couldn't find you." Chen Yu nodded.

"These people are becoming more and more disobedient." Ye Xinyu said angrily: "They leak everything. I will definitely teach them a lesson later."

"Can you not blame them?" Chen Yu couldn't help but say: "If it weren't for her, how would I know your situation is so serious right now?"

"What's wrong with me? Am I not fine right now?" Ye Xinyu glared at Chen Yu: "If you really have me in your heart right now, then don't interfere in my affairs."

"I shouldn't interfere in your affairs and just let you walk step by step into the abyss, eventually becoming a Demon?" Chen Yu put his arm around her shoulder: "Do you not know how serious your problem is right now?"

"Don't listen to their nonsense. I'm fine now; I know my own body." Ye Xinyu said somewhat anxiously: "And you know, the Heavenly Moon Nine Chapters can rapidly improve cultivation. Look, I've surpassed you in such a short time."

"The path of cultivation requires being down-to-earth, one step at a time." Chen Yu said: "The progress of the Tian Yue Nine Chapters is so fast, there must be a problem. So you must stop your cultivation now."

"That won't do. I'm only a little bit behind Chen Tianming. If I put in a little more effort, I can catch up to him. Then he won't be able to control us anymore." Ye Xinyu sighed and said: "You haven't dealt with him; you have no idea what kind of person he is."

"Even if I haven't dealt with him, I know what kind of person he is." Chen Yu said earnestly: "Give me some time, I have a way to solve his problem. Besides, he has been cultivating the Tian Yue Nine Chapters for decades and has made no progress now. Don't you think there's a problem?"

"There is a problem. I was just wondering, why did he stop cultivating?" Ye Xinyu finally thought of the key to the problem.

"Because he knows that if he continues to cultivate, he will be doomed forever. It is precisely because he realized the severity of this problem that he stopped cultivating the Tian Yue Nine Chapters." Chen Yu said solemnly: "Otherwise, why do you think he would give up a Dharma Code that allows for such rapid progress?"

Ye Xinyu was silent for a moment. Xie Hongyan and Wen Ziming had mentioned these things to her before, but she had rejected them all.
