From a loser to an immortal sage

Chapter 283 Xiao Yao Trapped in Heartbreak: Wen Chen's Deep Misunderstanding

He opened his mouth, but his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and he finally managed to utter a few words, "You... are you controlled by it?"

Were we controlled by it?

He actually thought I was being controlled by an ancient magical artifact?

A chill ran through me, freezing all my joy in an instant.

I stared at him in disbelief. His once gentle eyes were now icy cold, churning with suspicion and wariness that I couldn't comprehend.

The air around me seemed to freeze, pressing heavily on my chest, making it almost impossible for me to breathe.

"Wen Chen, listen to me..." I tried to explain, eager to tell him the truth, to tell him that I was not being controlled, but rather that I had gained the approval of the ancient magic weapon.

However, before I could finish speaking, he moved.

A chilling sword aura pierced through the air, its biting coldness aimed directly at my face.

Caught off guard, I instinctively leaned back, barely dodging the fatal blow.

However, Wen Chen's attacks did not stop. His fierce sword moves came at me like a storm, each move carrying the momentum to destroy everything.

I was both shocked and angry, unable to understand why he was so resolute and ruthless.

I could only barely defend myself, retreating step by step, looking utterly pathetic.

Wen Chen's spiritual power far surpassed mine, and every collision caused me excruciating pain, as if my internal organs were being shattered.

"Wen Chen! Are you crazy?" I shouted, my voice trembling slightly.

He seemed not to hear me, and his attacks became even more ferocious, his eyes flashing with a cold light.

Finally, a sharp sword aura struck my chest. The intense pain made my vision go black, and my body flew backward uncontrollably, crashing heavily to the ground.

I struggled to stand up, but found myself powerless. A mouthful of blood welled up in my throat, and I bit my lip hard to stop it from flowing out.

I looked up at Wen Chen as he walked towards me step by step. There was no pity in his eyes, only deep wariness and disgust.

"Wen Chen..." I said weakly, my voice low and hoarse, "Do you really... want to do this to me?"

He stopped and looked down at me, his icy voice piercing my heart like a sharp blade: "Hand it over."

"Give it... over?" I repeated his words, my eyes filled with disbelief. "You actually want me to hand it over?"

Wen Chen didn't speak, but just stared at me coldly, gathering even more powerful spiritual energy in his hand.

I knew that if I didn't hand over the ancient artifact, he would really kill me.

“Okay…” I struggled to my feet, a bitter smile tugging at the corners of my mouth. “I’ll give it to you…”

I slowly raised my hand, but in my palm was not the ancient magic weapon he wanted, but a dazzling light.

The light was like an invisible net, instantly enveloping my entire body. Immediately afterwards, I felt a dizzying sensation, as if my body had been violently dragged into an abyss.

When I opened my eyes again, I found myself trapped in a transparent barrier.

The air around us seemed to freeze, making us feel tightness in our chests and shortness of breath.

The surface of the barrier shimmered with a ghostly blue light, like countless cold eyes staring intently at me.

I reached out and touched the barrier, but a sharp pain shot through my fingertips, and a powerful force instantly repelled my hand.

damn it!

Wen Chen actually trapped me here!

Anger and resentment intertwined, almost consuming me.

I struggled to break free from this restraint, but found that the restriction was exceptionally strong, and no matter how hard I tried, it wouldn't budge.

My spiritual power seemed to be suppressed, and I was unable to unleash it at all.

I was like a caged beast, struggling futilely within the confines.

The surrounding light grew dimmer, my breathing became more rapid, and a wave of fear washed over me.

"Wen Chen! What are you trying to do!" I shouted loudly at the outside of the barrier, my voice filled with anger and resentment.

However, all around was silent, with only the flickering light of the barrier mocking my powerlessness.

My voice echoed within the barrier, sounding so weak and helpless.

I saw Wen Chen appear outside the barrier. He had his back to me and showed no intention of responding.

His back remained upright, yet it appeared so cold and resolute.

He actually doesn't believe me!

Is our relationship really so fragile in his eyes?

"Wen Chen! Look back at me! Let me explain!" My voice gradually became hoarse, tinged with despair.

He remained unmoved and turned to leave.

As I watched his figure recede into the distance, my hope gradually faded away.

A wave of sorrow washed over me, and I felt as if all the energy had been drained from my body, collapsing helplessly to the ground.

Do not!

I can't give up like this!

I can't let him leave with a misunderstanding about me!

I must explain this to him clearly!

I gritted my teeth, and the resentment and anger in my heart transformed into strength, allowing me to stand up once again.

I used all my strength to slam into the barrier. The barrier made a buzzing sound, but showed no sign of breaking.

I repeatedly struck the barrier, each impact feeling like hitting a hard rock, making me dizzy.

Just when I was about to be exhausted, I saw him turn around. He turned his head slightly and said, "You really disappoint me."

Warm Dust!

I won't let you go!

A resolute flame ignited within me, and a powerful force surged from the depths of my dantian, shattering the cage that imprisoned me.

The eerie blue light flickered violently, and fine cracks appeared on the surface of the barrier, spreading out like a spider web.

I felt the force binding me weakening, and a surge of joy welled up inside me.

With a crisp "crack!", the restriction finally shattered!

Like a bird breaking free from its cage, I rushed towards the warmth of the earth.

"Wen Chen!" I called his name hoarsely and hugged him tightly.

His body stiffened for a moment, but he didn't push me away.

I buried my face in his chest, feeling his familiar scent, and tears welled up in my eyes, soaking his clothes with their scalding heat.

I pressed my body tightly against him, with a hint of allure and longing, trying to awaken his love for me.

The air around us seemed to freeze, completely silent, with only the sound of my heartbeat and his breathing mingling together, creating an ambiguous and tense atmosphere.

His stiffness gradually eased, and I felt his hand gently placed on my back, again and again, as if soothing a frightened little animal.

I looked up at him through teary eyes. His eyes still held a hint of doubt, but the coldness and disgust from before were gone.

"Wen Chen, listen to me. I never intended to lie to you. I gained the approval of the ancient magic weapon, but I was not controlled by it..." I choked up as I explained everything to him, telling him my true feelings, my grievances, and my love.

His gaze softened, and he tightened his grip, pulling me closer into his arms.

The surrounding air gradually warmed up, as if spring had returned to the earth and the ice and snow had melted.

My heart gradually calmed down, and the dawn of hope once again illuminated my world.

"Yao'er..." he called my name softly, his voice low and gentle, like a lover's murmur.

My heart suddenly trembled and a warm current surged through my body.

I looked up, wanting to respond, but suddenly felt a powerful aura rapidly approaching...

"Watch out!" a voice rang in my ears...

A chilling killing intent instantly enveloped us. Before I could react, Wen Chen shoved me away.

His broad back blocked my view, like a majestic mountain peak, shielding me from all the wind and rain.

"Who goes there?!" Wen Chen's voice was deep and powerful, carrying a hint of warning.

A man in black appeared out of thin air, surrounded by black mist, obscuring his face. Only a pair of scarlet eyes could be seen, gleaming with greed.

"Hand over the ancient magic weapon!" The man in black's voice was hoarse and shrill, like the cry of a night owl, sending chills down one's spine.

"Wishful thinking!" Wen Chen sneered, and a flash of light appeared in his hand, revealing a snow-white longsword.

The sword exuded a chilling aura, as if the surrounding air had been frozen.

"You're courting death!" the man in black roared, and the black mist instantly condensed into a huge claw, which grabbed at Wen Chen with overwhelming force.

Wen Chen dodged the attack of the claws with a flash, and the long sword in his hand drew a dazzling light, piercing straight for the black-clad man's heart.

The man in black let out a sharp scream, his body turning into a cloud of black mist and disappearing from the spot.

"Trying to run?" Wen Chen sneered, waving his long sword and unleashing a barrage of sword energy that shot out in all directions like a torrential rain.

With a loud "Boom!", the black mist was dispersed by the sword energy, and the figure of the man in black reappeared, a trace of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, his eyes filled with terror.

"You..." Before the man in black could speak, Wen Chen's figure appeared in front of him, and the long sword in his hand pierced his heart without mercy.

The man in black let out a shrill scream, his body turning into a cloud of black mist and disappearing completely.

Wen Chen sheathed his longsword, turned around, and his gaze fell on me. I saw his...

I opened my mouth, wanting to explain, but I didn't know what to say.

"Yao'er..." He called my name softly, his voice carrying a hint of tenderness, yet also a subtle distance.

I looked at him, my heart filled with mixed emotions, wondering if he believed me.

"Are you alright?" He walked up to me and asked with concern.

I shook my head, suppressing the bitterness in my heart, and forced a smile.

"It's good that you're alright." He gently stroked my hair, his eyes filled with pity.

"Wen Chen, do you believe me?" I mustered up my courage and asked.

He paused for a moment, then said, "I believe you."

I was overjoyed and was about to speak when I suddenly sensed an even more powerful aura rapidly approaching.

"Watch out!" I shoved Wen Chen aside...
