"I wonder what I'm thinking. It's impossible for me to have any relationship with Young Master Jun…"

Bai Mei'er touched her own face.

She was a member of the ancient royal family, a celestial maiden of the Tianhu clan.

And Jun Xiaoyao was the divine son of the Huanggu Jun family.

The two factions were inherently different.

Moreover, she was standing on the side of Long Aotian.

However, sometimes Bai Mei'er couldn't help but think of Jun Xiaoyao's gentle smile.

In contrast, the current Long Aotian was truly hurtful.

Bai Mei'er even felt somewhat fortunate that, due to her cultivation methods, she hadn't had any substantial contact with Long Aotian.

She hadn't even let Long Aotian hold her hand.

In the blink of an eye, a day had passed.

Long Aotian approached Bai Mei'er.

"Where is that woman?" Bai Mei'er asked in a flat tone.

"Her injuries are probably not serious; she's currently recuperating," Long Aotian replied.

He noticed Bai Mei'er's cold tone and couldn't help but show a smug smile. "Mei'er, you're not jealous, are you?"

"Of course not," Bai Mei'er said.

"Hehe, there's really no need to be. The reason I saved that Ao Luan is that she can be of help to me."

"She just told me that in this area, there's a great opportunity at the Xian Gu Dao Lake, and their Longren clan occupies the most core area within the lake."

"And the Xian Gu Dao Lake is likely to have a major eruption soon. At that time, the core area will definitely yield a lot of good things."

"With Ao Luan here, we can also enter that core area."

Long Aotian continued, his eyes filled with excitement.

He had heard about the opportunities at the Xian Gu Dao Lake.

He had originally planned to go take a look, but unexpectedly, the Longren clan, where Ao Luan was, occupied the core area of the Dao Lake.

This was simply a windfall.

However, upon hearing this, Bai Mei'er's face showed no joy.

Instead, she spoke in an extremely indifferent tone, "Long Aotian, you saved that woman just to use her for your own gain?"

Bai Mei'er's words made Long Aotian's smile fade.

"Mei'er, what do you mean? I'm also considering you," Long Aotian explained.

"Your attitude when you saved me back then can't be the same as your attitude now when saving that Longren woman, right?" The light in Bai Mei'er's beautiful eyes completely vanished.

"How could that be? Am I that kind of person?" Long Aotian continued to defend himself, but his expression was somewhat unnatural.

"You keep saying it's for my sake, but you only want me to be a concubine while letting that Long Ji princess be the main wife. What does that mean?" Bai Mei'er's tone was as cold as frost.

Long Aotian was left speechless.

What else could he say?

Did he just want to play with a vixen?

Or was he trying to use this to gather the power of the Tianhu clan?

Or perhaps both?

But how could he say such things out loud?

"Can't say anything anymore, I'm at a loss for words. Hehe, Long Aotian, so in your heart, Bai Mei'er is just a plaything, right?"

Bai Mei'er's repressed emotions finally erupted.

Since she broke through, she had been following Long Aotian's shadow.

She was infatuated and deeply in love with him.

And now, she finally saw Long Aotian's true colors.

The so-called saving her was merely a simple scheme, and it was purposeful.

Just like this time saving Ao Luan.

All her heartfelt devotion had gone to waste.

At this moment, Bai Mei'er looked at Long Aotian with eyes as lifeless as death, devoid of any sparkle.

She never expected Long Aotian to be such a person.

"Mei'er, you've misunderstood me!" Long Aotian stepped forward, wanting to embrace Bai Mei'er.

"Don't touch me!" Bai Mei'er shouted, stepping back a few paces, her beautiful eyes filled with disgust.

After fully realizing Long Aotian's true nature, she felt a wave of nausea and revulsion.

Long Aotian didn't care about her at all; he simply craved her body.

It might even be because of the Tianhu clan's power behind her.

Without any benefits, would Long Aotian still save her?

Clearly not.

So Bai Mei'er had completely seen through it.

Her eyes were filled with deep resentment as she turned and gracefully left.

Her heart was utterly dead.

"Mei'er!"

Watching Bai Mei'er's distant figure, Long Aotian's expression turned somewhat gloomy.

"Damn it, what a loss! If I had known, I would have forced myself on her; I didn't even touch her hand." Long Aotian cursed inwardly.

When he saved Bai Mei'er before, due to her cultivation methods, he couldn't touch her.

Long Aotian pretended to be a gentleman and didn't force anything.

Now, the cooked duck had flown away.

"It's fine; it's just a little quarrel like before. She'll come back," Long Aotian shook his head, not overly concerned.

He couldn't give up on Ao Luan just because of Bai Mei'er.

"With Ao Luan, I can enter the core area of the Xian Gu Dao Lake. With my luck, I'll definitely obtain a treasure. At that time, I can directly kill Jun Xiaoyao and then conquer Long Ji princess." A smile appeared at the corner of Long Aotian's mouth.

He had already planned everything for the future; he just needed to implement it step by step.

It must be said that Long Aotian's thoughts were quite beautiful.

If it weren't for Jun Xiaoyao, his plan might have been smoothly realized.

But unfortunately…

On the other side.

Bai Mei'er's mind was blank as she aimlessly flew through the sky.

She didn't know where to go or what to do next.

The dark, negative seeds she had planted in her heart had also taken root and sprouted.

The deeper the love, the sharper the hate.

Especially for someone like Bai Mei'er, who had a hint of a yandere personality, it was easy to fall into another extreme.

"Long Aotian, how could you toy with my feelings? You're too hateful!" Deep resentment flickered in Bai Mei'er's hollow beautiful eyes.

She even wished she could take an axe and split open Long Aotian's chest to see if his heart was red or black!

"What should I do? Where should I go next…"

Bai Mei'er was utterly lost, and without realizing it, she found herself near the valley maze where she had been trapped before.

"Jun Xiaoyao… I sense Young Master Jun's aura…"

The Tianhu clan had a natural sensitivity, and Bai Mei'er detected that Jun Xiaoyao's presence was not too far from here.

Recalling the moments when Jun Xiaoyao saved her, Bai Mei'er's heart raced.

Unlike Long Aotian, Jun Xiaoyao saved her without asking for anything in return, and there were no ulterior motives involved.

After all, given Jun Xiaoyao's faction and stance, there was no need for him to save her.

Yet Jun Xiaoyao still did, and he sought no reward.

When comparing Jun Xiaoyao to Long Aotian, the difference was clear.

"Jun Xiaoyao, Jun Xiaoyao…" Bai Mei'er kept repeating, and her originally hollow beautiful eyes began to shine again.

For Bai Mei'er, who was filled with despair and emptiness at this moment, Jun Xiaoyao was the only ray of light.

This ray of light was even more dazzling and a hundred times warmer than Long Aotian before!

Bai Mei'er moved gracefully, following the trace of Jun Xiaoyao's aura!
