“Shen Lang, have I fallen in love with you?” Dongfang Bingling inquired once again.

 Yang Dingtian was stupefied and had shaken his head, instinctively, “I-I don’t know.”

 He truly had no idea. However, he had always felt that Dongfang Bingling would never fall in love with anyone because she would never place any man in her eyes at all.

 As the No.1 genius in these 400 years, she didn’t even place her unrivaled father, Dongfang Niemie, in her eyes at all. As for Zhu Hongxue, she completely looked down on him.

 This woman was at the extreme end of arrogance and was formidable. Therefore, this kind of woman would practically not fall in love with any man because there wasn’t any man that could adore and look up to.

 However, this sort of woman lacked love.

 In her dream, she had taken care of Yang Dingtian for almost a month. She had bathed him, gave him a massage, and taken care of him as if he were an infant.

 When a woman gave birth to a child, they were closer in terms of flesh and blood. But during the process of taking care, the love for her child would drill into the depths of her bone or even exceed their own lives.

 As such, Dongfang Bingling was also facing this sort of circumstance.

 Furthermore, she was a woman. During this time, she would often have the closest interaction with Yang Dingtian. Although she didn’t mind it, her heart would still inevitably go through some changes.

 Any irreproachable woman would never be able to remain indifferent while they were interacting with a man intimately.

 Dongfang Bingling’s beautiful eyes were fixated on Yang Dingtian as she spoke, “Shen Lang, what about you? Do you love me?”

 “Why are you asking this?” Yang Dingtian inquired.

 Dongfang Bingling replied, “I have thought about our matters for a very long time. I have two choices. The first choice is for us to immediately separate after you wake up so that we can cut off the emotional sentiment between us. Subsequently, we swear to never meet again and treat this as nothing had happened.”

 Yang Dingtian inquired, “What’s the second choice?”

 Dongfang Bingling continued, “The second choice is that after you have woken up, I will bring you back to Yin Yang Sect and get married. From then on, I will be your wife and you will be my husband.”

 Yang Dingtian trembled, he had never imagined that Dongfang Bingling would speak such a thing. However, immediately after, he remembered that Dongfang Bingling had just spoken of it as a choice.

 “Then which one would you choose?” Yang Dingtian inquired.

 Dongfang Bingling replied, “The first option because I’m afraid that once I have a husband and emotional sentiment, it would obstruct my dream from being fulfilled. My dream is to become the first Saint in these 400 years. I want to completely break apart something in this world. However, once I get married, I would not be able to focus on my dream, you will become an obstacle for me. To be more precise, my emotions would become an obstacle for me.”

 Yang Dingtian nodded his head. Of course, it wasn’t because he agreed on Dongfang Bingling’s statement. Rather, he believed that Dongfang Bingling was indeed such a person.

 Dongfang Bingling continued, “Therefore, I would always choose the first option. However, a moment ago, I suddenly thought, why must I make such a choice. Even if I grew sentimental and had a husband, I’m still able to pursue my dream. Therefore, I chose the second option.”

 Yang Dingtian was dumbfounded! Dongfang Bingling had actually chosen the second option, wouldn’t it also mean that she wanted to get married to him?

 “Shen Lang, therefore, I have decided that we can get married if I indeed have fallen in love with you. Of course, if you’re worried that this would interfere with your life, we can choose not to announce this to the world. We can find a desolated location to hold the wedding ritual with only the two of us around. Subsequently, we will build a house and take it as our home.” Dongfang Bingling continued, “After our marriage, we might not necessarily be together, or wouldn’t even meet each other once for several years. You can continue to wander around the world while I pursue my dream. Therefore, although we’re husband and wife, it is very likely that we would never be together.”

 “You just want to have a place in your heart to place your hopes.” Yang Dingtian spoke out.

 “Correct.” Dongfang Bingling replied, “All along, I would definitely pick the first option where I would make a clean break with you after you had awakened. However, I discovered that this is actually the most foolish choice and would actually hinder my cultivation. Emotions are like water and could never be blocked or suppressed. It would be better off letting nature take its course and let both of our hearts have a place for the other party. We aren’t someone from the secular world and wouldn’t care about the intimation of each other’s bodies. Rather, we cared about the entrustment of each other’s spirits.”

 Immediately, Yang Dingtian had fully understood Dongfang Bingling’s meaning.

 Originally, she had no intention to get married. But because she lacked love, she had generated a peculiar feeling towards Yang Dingtian. From the start, she wanted to get rid of any emotional sentiment altogether, and Yang Dingtian even believed that she would definitely hesitate if she were to kill now. So long as she could get rid of the emotional sentiment, Dongfang Bingling would definitely be willing to behead Yang Dingtian.

 However, just like she had said, feelings couldn’t be suppressed or forcefully gotten rid of. On the contrary, this would influence and hinder her cultivation path.

 Therefore, she might as well let nature take its course and choose to get married to Shen Lang so that her spirit would have a place to return home.

 Of course, only they would know of this marriage. Both of them would build their own home, but they might never stay there at all. After their marriage, Dongfang Bingling would continue her path of cultivation and might never meet Yang Dingtian again.

 “Of course, if there were a day I truly miss you, I will definitely come over and meet you even if we’re ten thousand miles away from each other.” Dongfang Bingling continued, “As for the intercourse between a man and woman, I will try my best to search for a way to not harm my cultivation even if I have to lose my virginity. After that, you can do whatever you want with me, and we could also have sexual intercourse like other couples. We could even give birth to a child after I had broken through to the Saint class. After I have completed all of my dreams, we can be together forever and live an ordinary couple’s life.” Dongfang Bingling narrated.

 Ultimately, Dongfang Bingling spoke, “Now, there’s only one last matter remaining. Shen Lang, do you love me?”

 Immediately, Yang Dingtian was rendered speechless.

 “Do you love me, Shen Lang?” Dongfang Bingling asked again.

 “I already have a wife, and I truly love her.” Yang Dingtian replied.

 Dongfang Bingling continued, “I know, furthermore, that woman is extremely attractive to men. Most importantly, she loves you very much. This kind of love exceeds the feelings I have for you by numerous folds. However, I don’t mind. I’m going to ask you a question, Shen Lang, do you love me?”

 Yang Dingtian wanted to blurt out his answer without thinking. He wanted to say that he loved Yanyan, who was also Ximen Ningning. As for Dongfang Bingling, he hated her to the very core.

 If there were a day that he had to choose between saving either Yanyan or Dongfang Bingling, he would choose Yanyan first without the slightest hesitation even if he had to witness Dongfang Bingling dying.

 However, Yang Dingtian questioned himself in his heart. He was filled with hatred for Dongfang Bingling, a form of ingrained hatred. However, did his heart not throb for her? Or even a throb that was so deep that went down to his bone?

 Hatred was the opposite side of love. Perhaps, both sides were only separated by a piece of paper.

 Yang Dingtian couldn’t ever forget how emotionally affected he was when he met Dongfang Bingling for the first time. A lot of times, Dongfang Bingling had appeared inside his dream.

 “Shen Lang, do you love me?” Dongfang Bingling inquired once again, “If you love me, we can get married after we leave this place.”

 Yang Dingtian inhaled a deep breath of air and spoke, “Dongfang Bingling, I dare not say I have no feelings for you. Perhaps, I also hold an extremely complex feeling towards you. However, I would never get married to you.”

 “Why?” Dongfang Bingling asked.

 “Both of us can never be together.” Yang Dingtian replied, “Even if the sun had collapsed or the moon was destroyed, it is still impossible for both of us to be together.”

 Dongfang Bingling’s complexion slightly changed when she heard it, “Why? You aren’t Yang Dingtian.”

 Yang Dingtian was astonished. Dongfang Bingling had actually spoken this sentence so naturally. Previously Yang Dingtian was still somewhat puzzled when he addressed him as Shen Lang. Could Dongfang Bingling not have recognized him?

 Now, Dongfang Bingling had actually said that he wasn’t Yang Dingtian so naturally.

 “Why would you say such a statement?” Yang Dingtian replied.

 Dongfang Bingling commented, “Because Yang Dingtian hates me down to the very core as I have trampled over his dignity before. Therefore, when I felt that I might have fallen in love with you, I was extremely afraid of a matter. I was afraid that you might be Yang Dingtian in disguise. Thus, I had tried to uncover your face. There wasn’t any mask or makeup. You’re really Shen Lang, and this face is a genuine one. So, you aren’t Yang Dingtian. During that point in time, I have truly heaved a sigh of relief.”

 Yang Dingtian was astonished when he heard it!

 Without a doubt, Yang Dingtian was wearing a human skin mask. However, he was inside Dongfang Bingling’s dream. In the bottom of Dongfang Bingling’s heart, she didn’t wish for Shen Lang to be Yang Dingtian. Therefore, Shen Lang, in her dream, had a real face. Of course, she wouldn’t be able to take down his mask because before Yang Dingtian had entered her consciousness, Shen Lang within was constructed by her brain.

 “The reason you aren’t willing to get married to me is because of your wife?” Dongfang Bingling continued, “I said before, I totally wouldn’t mind it. You can continue to be together with your wife.”

 “It’s not because of my wife.” Yang Dingtian replied, “It’s merely because both of us can’t be together.”

 Dongfang Bingling’s beautiful eyes turned angry slightly, “Strange, you aren’t Yang Dingtian who hated me down to his bones, and it isn’t because of your wife. Furthermore, you also have feelings towards me, why can’t both of us get married? You have to give me a reason.”

 “Reason.” Yang Dingtian shut his eyes unhurriedly. Subsequently, he stared at Dongfang Bingling’s eyes and said, “The reason is that whatever is happening around you is fake. All of this is just a dreamland within the depths of your consciousness.”

 Yang Dingtian continued, “The reality is that a month after you had sunk into a coma, I was unable to wake you up in time because I had also lost my consciousness. Half a year had gone by the time I had awoken. During that time, I was unable to wake you even after I had stabbed onto your Jinmen Acupuncture point.

 “The reality is that you have been trapped in the dreamland within the depths of your consciousness. Your spirit consciousness has practically come to a halt. However, you’re still alive and breathing. You’re also extremely healthy while your mystic qi grew stronger. However, you’re immobilized and unconscious. You are currently in a vegetative state. Every day, I would have to bathe and give you a massage. And the person who took care of you like an infant is me!”

 “Everything here is just your dream, Dongfang Bingling!”
