The Art of Subduing Dragons

Chapter 76

After she kissed Luo Qingci, she continued to gaze at her without blinking. When she realized that her gaze was too intense, she felt embarrassed.

She lowered her head, trying to contain the emotions swelling in her heart. In the end, she merely held Luo Qingci's hand, gently caressing it.

She didn't know when Luo Qingci would wake up, but she had a lot she wanted to say. So she spoke softly to herself, her words lacking focus but holding significant meaning.

"You probably don't realize how much your presence has changed things. But without you, I can't imagine what I would be like now. You know, without you, I would have suffered so much, and even with this inheritance, I would have missed many important things. I used to think that maybe my life lacked memorable moments, which is why I couldn't forget you for so many years."

She glanced at Luo Qingci again, noticing a faint dark red at the corners of her eyes. She sniffed, then couldn't help but smile, "But now I understand, it's not that I've received too little to make it precious. It's that you have given so much, so well."

The red at the corners of her eyes turned into a shimmering tear in her gaze as she continued, "She always said that I was emotional and forgetful, forgetting what I was burdened with. But how heartless and ungrateful would one have to be to ignore you? Sometimes I would have nightmares and wake up feeling terrified, afraid that you were a lie. So every time I see you, I'm reassured. Because as long as you're here, I know my situation isn't as bad as it seems."

Luo Qingci remained in a deep sleep, but the system was alert. The whole situation was overwhelming for it. Seeing that the Heavenly Demon Eye had invaded and was causing trouble, and witnessing that Luo Qingci's body control had been taken away, it was nearly driven to madness.

When Rui Li finally regained control and prevented a tragedy, the system was relieved but soon lost any remaining hope after Rui Li's heartfelt confession. It was a dire situation.

The so-called affection now seemed meaningless. The tender and restrained kiss made the system almost pass out. It could desperately try to keep the mask on, but it couldn't preserve her innocence.

The system wanted to lift Luo Qingci up to see what her little dragon cub was up to. The feelings had clearly changed long ago. What was supposed to be a first love, a deep bond, had turned into something profound!

The direction had shifted. The heroine, who was initially infatuated with the male lead, had now become interested in Luo Qingci. Wasn't this a complete breakdown of the storyline?

Thinking about "love turned to hate," the system felt a chill. It realized it had uncovered a significant fact.

The original female protagonist's dark turn was largely due to betrayal, especially from the male lead she had given everything for. Nangong Jue used her for the sake of humanity, disregarding her feelings and using her against the Dragon Clan.

In short, it was love turned to hate.

Now that she liked Luo Qingci, if she discovered Luo Qingci's true identity and realized she had been deceived all along, and that she had unknowingly fallen for her enemy who had destroyed her family, the hatred would be no less than what she felt for the male lead. This would be love turning to hate once again.

The system felt more uneasy the more it thought about it. Rui Li's gaze at Luo Qingci was hard to bear, so it decided to look away.

The extent of a person's change was astonishing. The system had not expected that the heroine's gaze could be so affectionate after falling for someone. Even when Rui Li was with Nangong Jue, she didn't show such deep affection.
