Chapter 472: It’s My Decision (1/2)

Lin Xiao arched his eyebrows as if asking whether she was already tired or something. ”Do you still want to spar?”

”No. Come here.”

Lin Xiao walked over obediently. Princess Lan Yi Hua image hugged him tightly. Even though it was supposed to be nothing more than illusion, Lin Xiao could feel Princess Lan Yi Hua's body warmth clearly. He sighed as he knew that when it come to his wife, he really couldn't reject her.

Princess Lan Yi Hua image took out a knife.

Lin Xiao knew that but he didn't stop her and the next moment, the knife was plunged straight towards his heart.

He smiled as he looked at Princess Lan Yi Hua in front of him. It was nothing more than an illusion but he couldn't bring himself to attack her. Even though he knew that it was not real and that it was just an image that was conjured from his mind… he didn't mind.

In this test, as long as it was about Princess Lan Yi Hua, he couldn't bring himself to hurt her.

”Xiao Hua,” Lin Xiao called out softly. He raised his hand and caressed her cheek. It was warm as if the person herself was standing in front of him.

People worked hard to get stronger and achieve immortality. But even Immortal could die when they were attacked by others and failed to defend themselves in time. Lin Xiao had long known about this, thus he only wished to be able to get stronger to protect those dear to him.

Because he wanted to protect those dear to him, including Princess Lan Yi Hua, how could he bear to hurt her.

If his brothers wanted to kill him, he still could retaliate even though his heart was hurt.

But if it was Princess Lan Yi Hua, how could he?

Princess Lan Yi Hua image blinked her eyes but then there was a drop of tear falling from the corner of her eyes.

Swish!

The image disappeared and Lin Xiao found himself standing on the stairs once more. He took a deep breath and laughed self depreciatingly. Maybe many people would mock him for having such a big weakness but he would merely smile.

Rather than being a coldhearted person who would kill everyone on his path, he would rather being slightly ordinary but still has a heart.

He glanced to the side and saw the numbers on the stair:

8,930

It was pretty high but he knew that there were many others who were at higher steps than him. He was quite surprised that his result was not bad, though.

Before long, he noticed Princess Lan Yi Hua standing not far from him. She was looking up to look at him and there was a trace of tear on her eyes. Standing a few steps below him, Princess Lan Yi Hua smiled when she saw him turned around.

”Xiao.”

”Xiao Hua,” Lin Xiao greeted back. ”You're done?”

”Yeah.” Princess Lan Yi Hua nodded rigorously and wiped the tear from the corner of her eyes. ”I thought that you're going to leave me far away.”

Lin Xiao let out a hearty laugh. ”How can I do that? My goal is here and naturally, I can't possibly leave you behind.”
