Chapter 306 Parting Always Brings Pain
"Yuanming, stop fooling around, let's get down to business." Shui Qingli pushed Yue Yuanming helplessly, but to no avail.
"Nothing is more important than you." Yue Yuanming said without hesitation.
Anyway, ever since Shui Qingli came to his side, Yue Yuanming has become less enthusiastic about escaping the forbidden land and unifying the fairyland and the human world.
That's why they say being too focused on love can negatively impact your focus on your career.
"And right now I'm thinking about getting down to business..." Yue Yuanming deliberately whispered in Shui Qingli's sensitive ear, "And I feel that Qingli likes it too."
"How could you... have such thoughts on that?" Shui Qingli blushed and turned away, not wanting to talk to Yue Yuanming anymore.
In this relationship, Shui Qingli's biggest change compared to before is probably that she knows how to resist Yue Yuanming's unreasonable demands. This makes their relationship more like that of an equal couple, rather than a superior and subordinate who are absolutely obedient.
However, Yue Yuanming still preferred Shui Qingli's current lively appearance. She would look at him with eyes full of adoration, or pretend to be angry at him, and would even unconsciously act coquettishly towards him... She was truly adorable.
Another day I like Qingli even more (￣▽￣)~
"Alright, alright, I'll listen to you. Let's get down to business." Yue Yuanming knew when to stop; he didn't want to really anger Shui Qingli.
"Really?" Shui Qingli asked with a doubtful expression.
The main problem is that in the past month or so, Yue Yuanming hasn't done anything productive; all he does is endlessly bully him.
Therefore, Yue Yuanming's credibility has dropped to an alarming low level.
"Really." Yue Yuanming helped Shui Qingli up, unusually straightforward: "We have to get out eventually. The Ninth Rank has always been unreliable, so only you have a way to leave this place."
"But actually... I don't want you to leave me again."
During this period, Yue Yuanming has not been thinking about serious matters, and there is another very important reason for this: once Shui Qingli tries to find a way to open the gate to the forbidden land, she will inevitably have to leave the forbidden land and leave him again.
Yue Yuanming disliked such separations, because the two separations so far had left him with either endless longing or repeated heartbreak.
Moreover, losing something you've already gained will only cause you more pain.
Therefore, Yue Yuanming could not accept Shui Qingli leaving him again, not even for a short period of time.
Ultimately, he was just too insecure.
Not only Shui Qingli noticed this, but Yue Yuanming himself also noticed it.
"Are you worried that I will leave you?" Shui Qingli suddenly realized a fact—although Yue Yuanming would never express it, he had always been resentful about her two departures, whether it was the breakup or the experience of regaining his original body the second time.
Each separation left an indelible wound in his heart, almost making him overly stressed.
Ultimately, it's all my own fault.
As Shui Qingli thought this, she felt increasingly guilty.
The regrets of the past life can never be made up for, but in this life, until this return to the forbidden land, he has also unintentionally hurt him time and time again, hasn't he?
"..." Yue Yuanming did not answer, but Shui Qingli could get the answer from his expression and silence.
"Yuanming, I'm sorry about what happened before." Shui Qingli couldn't explain whose fault it was that Xiaotiandao's conspiracy succeeded, causing him to become a puppet.
But a wound is a wound, and no matter the reason, the pain it causes will never disappear.
"It's alright, I know these aren't things you wanted to see either." Yue Yuanming sighed softly, "Qingli, do whatever you want, I'll always be here waiting for you."
“Okay…” Shui Qingli said very calmly, “The current situation is in our favor. I have two of the remaining Worldly Armor pieces, and my sister has one more.”
"My first priority when I go out is to retrieve the remaining Worldly Armor, and I also need to bring my sister to the Forbidden Land with me, otherwise I'm afraid someone might try to harm her."
This game has been going on for so long, it's time to wrap things up.
"Okay." Yue Yuanming nodded to indicate that he understood.
“You don’t need to worry that I won’t come back. With the ring you gave me, you can know my location at any time,” Shui Qingli said. “I’ll be back after I finish my business. It shouldn’t be too long.”

Just to clarify, the plot is already heading towards the end, so there might not be a seventh volume, but it's not impossible either; it depends on how much is written.
