“Ye You stole Miss Ye’s spirit root, but that spirit root does not belong to Ye You . I stole Ye You’s Heavenly Demon Pearl, and it should not belong to me either . No matter what, it is the equivalent of this Heavenly Demon Pearl being Ye You’s interest to Miss Ye . ” A faint smile hung on Ling Yan’s lips .
Before Ye Qingtang could say anything, Ling Yan grabbed her hand lightly and placed the Heavenly Demon Pearl in her palm before giving her any time to react . “This Heavenly Demon Pearl should belong to you . There’s no need to decline . ”
“You…” Ye Qingtang looked at Ling Yan, astonished .
Although Ling Yan put it that way, it was clear that whatever reasoning he gave was fallacious . Ye Qingtang was not foolish and could tell that Ling Yan merely wanted to give her the Heavenly Demon Pearl .
“Ling Yan, the Heavenly Demon Pearl is really too valuable… There’s nothing between us…” Ye Qingtang frowned deeply .
“Since that’s the case, do you want to have something with me?” Ling Yan’s eyes were extremely bright and filled with charm as he looked at Ye Qingtang .

“What thing?” Ye Qingtang asked instinctively .
However, Ling Yan inched closer the moment she spoke, and their eyes locked onto each other . There was less than an inch between them, and they could even feel each other’s heartbeat and breathing .
Ye Qingtang swore that she had never been so close to a man in either of her lives before .
Just like that, the two of them looked at each other for a long time . Suddenly, Ling Yan stood up straight and pulled a distance away from Ye Qingtang . “Let’s put it this way then: my martial skills are so terrible, and I can lose my life anytime… How about you stay by my side from now on?”
“You want me to be your personal bodyguard?’ Ye Qingtang asked .
Ling Yan shook his head immediately . “Apart from a personal bodyguard, there’s another possibility between a male and a female . ”
Without giving Ye Qingtang a chance to speak, Ling Yan suddenly stood up and said, “Miss Ye, you do not need to be so conflicted . The Heavenly Demon Pearl is useless to me and is compatible with you instead . If you don’t want it, you can settle it yourself . I just do not wish for this inheritance to land in the hands of one of the people of the Jiang bloodline . If you view me as a friend, you can accept it without worrying . Otherwise, you can settle it yourself . Destroying or throwing it away is all fine . ”
“How generous of you…”
Ye Qingtang could not help but take a few looks at Ling Yan .
Back then, she had the Heart of the Demon God and was being chased for her life for hundreds of years . Everyone coveted the Heart of the Demon God in her body and plotted all sorts of schemes .
Others wanted to take her life in order to seize a precious treasure, but Ling Yan willingly gave the inheritance of the Heavenly Demon, a valuable treasure, to herself so easily…
“Thank you…” A long while later, Ye Qingtang said . “I am unable to return your huge favor…”
“Unable to return my huge favor…” Ling Yan walked to Ye Qingtang’s side and slowly bent forward . The corner of his lips curled up slightly and formed a devilish charm . “Since you are unable to return the favor, you can devote your life to me then . ”
A few breaths later, Ye Qingtang finally returned to her senses and said . “Devote my life to you?”
Ling Yan chuckled . “How does devoting your life to me sound?”
“You’re saying…” Ye Qingtang pondered deeply and said . “For me to be your guard and protect your safety for my entire life?”
With a smile on his face, Ling Yan responded . “If that is how you comprehend the meaning of ‘devoting your life to me’, so be it then . ”
For Ye Qingtang, who was a complete blockhead at male-female relationships, how could she understand the meaning of ‘devoting your life to me’?
