Chapter 484: Two five five: Zhi Yan and Nai’er!

Suo Lun said, "Aren’t you disgusted by the scene of me and Ning Bing you walked in on?"

Zhi Yan Princess said, "Do you want to hear the truth, or a lie?"

In the past, Zhi Yan Princess always spoke very directly, never bothering with asking about wanting to hear truths or lies, which showed she indeed tried hard to act like an ordinary woman.

"A lie," Suo Lun said.

"So disgusted I wanted to vomit," Zhi Yan said.

"The truth," Suo Lun said.

"Shaken to the core," Zhi Yan said.

This answer truly astonished Suo Lun.

Zhi Yan said, "At the Dragon Temple, I had been immersed in another world for too long. Because what I was cultivating wasn’t just art and martial skills but also Mental Skill; the Dragon Temple always wanted to train me into a saintess without wants or desires. Of course, I couldn’t really become one without wants or desires, but indeed, I was quite indifferent to the seven emotions and six desires."

Suo Lun understood this; the Dragon Temple had also always been preventing Zhi Yan from ascending as the queen, so they wanted to eliminate this possibility from the root, thus trying every means to rid Zhi Yan of any emotions.

Zhi Yan said, "Just so you know, the cultivation method that the Dragon Temple made me practice also directly cut off my romantic feelings toward the opposite sex.

This is a normal female physiological cycle. A woman without a menstrual cycle cannot bear children.

"Without a menstrual cycle, one cannot bear children," Zhi Yan said. "Although I stopped practicing that cultivation method after leaving the Dragon Temple, I have always been an abnormal woman. As a result, after walking in on you and Suo Ningbing, the impact on my mind was incomparable!"

"Right now?" Suo Lun said.

"Yes, right now," Zhi Yan Princess said.

Suo Lun was absolutely dumbfounded.

This result was completely unexpected.

If someone else, like Yan Nai’er, for example, had walked in on him and Suo Ningbing, the impact on her mind would have been devastating.

She would have been completely unable to accept it, and her values would have been utterly destroyed.

But Zhi Yan Princess had always been without desires, her nerves almost always in a state of indifference.

Yet this scene just happened to ignite the spark within her, her inner capacity to endure, the threshold of her mind, was much higher than others.

"That’s why I say not only do I want to marry you, but I also want to bear your children, because only now do I have the right to say this," Zhi Yan looked at Suo Lun and said word by word: "I am not a normal woman, but I will put forth all my effort to become one."

Suo Lun was silent.

Zhi Yan said, "Suo Lun, do you think a person first has desires, or first has emotions?"

"In terms of purely romantic feelings, it is definitely desire first, then emotion," Suo Lun said. "No matter how beautifully you describe love with any words, its starting point is the impulse to procreate, and then feelings wrap up the desire, turning it into love."

Zhi Yan said, "However, being subject to the special energies and special cultivation methods of the Dragon God Temple for many years has turned me into a transcendent and holy maiden above worldly affairs. This might sound wonderful, but it is an abnormality, a deficiency."

This was the first time Zhi Yan had opened up to someone.

And her insights were indeed deeper than any woman Suo Lun had ever met.

The maiden of the Dragon Temple was completely at a celestial level, revered by all, a perfect synonym for nobility and holiness.

But in the mouth of Zhi Yan Princess, it was termed as an abnormality.

"It’s a form of spiritual castration!" Zhi Yan said. "To achieve being without desires and holy, it’s very simple, just cut off the desires directly. But without desire, there is no emotion. Is a person still whole if they lack emotion?"

Without a doubt, the former Zhi Yan Princess was a person without the seven emotions and six desires.

Therefore, Suo Ningbing always said, even though Zhi Yan Princess had no airs about her, even going so far as to enter the kitchen to help her cook, she still felt Zhi Yan Princess was lofty and unapproachable.

Zhi Yan said, "When I first returned to Wangcheng Zidu, I was very scared. Facing my father, who bore and raised me, I didn’t have any emotional fluctuations at all. Even if I told myself a hundred times that I love this man in front of me, I love my father, my emotions did not resonate at all. Last time, when father had his first stroke and was on the brink of death, my sadness was so faint I couldn’t even cry."

Suo Lun remembered the scene of the King having a stroke last time, and indeed, Zhi Yan Princess had been very calm and hadn’t cried.

"But this time, I cried," Zhi Yan Princess said. "I felt fear, I felt sadness, and I started to have emotions."

Suo Lun listened intently.

Zhi Yan Princess said, "A few months ago, Father asked me if I was willing to marry you, and I said I was! But when I said it, my heart was still without any ripples. Because being emotionless and desireless, while marriage is very important to other women, it made no more difference to me than eating and drinking."

This was the first time Suo Lun truly confronted the bottom of Zhi Yan Princess’s heart.

Zhi Yan Princess continued, "During the great battle against the Alliance Army of Extinction, you achieved an unprecedented victory, and the tens of thousands in the Allied Army were entirely defeated. This stirred great emotions within me; I felt joy and surprise. And when you rejected our marriage for Yan Nai’er, it caused my second emotional disturbance; I felt indignant and jealous. But walking in on you and Suo Ningbing, it pierced through my mind instantly, as if that scene was a massive energy explosion, making me feel for the first time like an ordinary woman."
