Chapter 264: Let Me Give Up? Never in This Life!

alluring charm, Yan Fei led her guards to Long Xiao Palace in Su Chengming.Inside Longxi Palace, Su Chengming sat at his desk, gazing at the figure in the painting before him. A smile involuntarily c..."If I don't even dare to say it to the person I like, what's the point of being emperor" Zhao Tianyu nonchalantly tugged at the corner of his mouth, a sarcastic and desolate smile that strangely made Su Ziyue's heart ache.

"You..." Su Ziyixing choked on her words, staring at him dumbfoundedly, unable to utter a single syllable for a long time.

A strange, unfamiliar feeling swept over him, so intense and foreign that it filled him with dread. He couldn't escape it, couldn't run from it.

Zhao Tianyu closed his eyes slightly, and when he opened them again, his profound eyes held a resolute determination. He decided to tell everything, no longer hiding anything. "I like freedom and being unrestrained, and I naturally dislike being bound by rules. But for you, I'm willing to learn those tedious and boring things. For you, I'm willing to put aside my pride and strive to become an emperor worthy of you and the Eastern Yue Emperor."

"For no reason, you're saying these things" Su Ziyi's eyes flickered. No matter how he denied it, he couldn't hide the fact that his words had completely thrown him off.

My mind was in turmoil, uncontrollably flashing scenes of our first meeting and the image of him leading an army of 800,000 towards me as I rode to meet him under the setting sun. His smiling dark eyes were impossible to shake from my thoughts.

"Su Ziyi, if you still don't understand anything, I'll tell you everything today! I like you, Zhao Tianyu likes you, I like you openly and honestly!" Zhao Tianyu stepped closer to him, every word spoken from the heart, echoing in his mind like a vow.

He was tall, and even more imposing backlit. Su Ziyue had to take several steps back, until he reached a half-person high desk, with nowhere else to go.

He averted his gaze, forcing himself to calm down. "Impudent! Since ancient times, how can men love men This goes against the norms of society, and is unacceptable by the world!"

“The world Then tell me, what is the world What’s wrong with liking something What’s wrong with wanting to be with the person I like” Stepping closer, Zhao Tianyu leaned down towards him slightly, his hands propped up on the table behind him, confining him between his chest and the desk. His thin lips curled into a reckless smile, his dark eyes narrowed, revealing a dangerous gleam. “The world The world has always been shaped by the strong. I am the world Who dares to point at my backbone and say half a word to me”

"You! You're twisting things around! You're utterly unreasonable!" Because of his proximity, Su Ziyue had to lean back, her spine almost touching the table.

As he spoke, the air around him, that scent uniquely his, hit him full force, making him inexplicably nervous. His ears flushed crimson, unable to contain themselves.

Catching a glimpse of his alluring earlobe, reddened to the point of bleeding, Zhao Tianyu's anger dissipated somewhat. The oppressive aura around him also lessened considerably, as if a storm was giving way to clear skies.

"Su Zixie, I don't believe you have even a shred of good feelings for me." The corners of his mouth curled up with pleasure, Zhao Tianyu deliberately leaned closer to him with malice, his voice laced with a hint of obvious amusement.

Su Ziyi was forced to lie face up on the table. Hearing his laughter, he felt even more embarrassed and had a feeling of being cornered. He turned his head away from his teasing eyes and rebuked him in a feigned anger: "Of course not! As a man, it's impossible for me to like another man! Give up this idea!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Tianyu laughed, a wild and eerie smile playing on his lips. The determination in his eyes suddenly made her heart race. "Give up Hmph! I, Zhao Tianyu, may not have many other advantages, but I am particularly stubborn. Once I set my mind on someone, it's for life. You want me to give up That's impossible for this lifetime! Not even death would allow it!"

His ears burned again uncontrollably. Su Ziyi pushed him away in anger, distancing herself as much as possible, using coldness to mask her embarrassment and panic. "You're getting more and more out of line! Emperor Nanjiang, if you speak another word like that, don't blame me for being unkind! If you leave now, I won't have heard a word you said tonight, otherwise, don't blame me for turning against you!"

“Oh You dare to be so rude to me Just like before, threatening me with your sword” Zhao Tianyu crossed his arms and stared at him fixedly, his expression half concealed in the flickering light, making it impossible to see his current mood.

"Stay back! Prince of Nanjiang, I am not joking with you. This is my final warning, leave!" He had left her utterly flustered. To prevent him from coming any closer, Su Ziyi had no choice but to draw her sword, holding it out in front of her, pointed at his chest, her eyes filled with a warning glare.

He needed to calm down and sort out the turmoil in his mind.

His gaze fell on his three-foot Qingfeng sword, Zhao Tianyu's dark eyes narrowed slightly, and his heart ached again.

A smirk vanished from his lips, his eyes turning cold as he slowly approached, a mocking challenge in his gaze. "What if I don't What will you do Draw your sword"

"Nanjiang Huang, my patience is limited. Do not test my limits! Do not force me to take action myself!" The blade in Su Ziyi's hand reflected a sharp cold light as he raised his sword. He clearly no longer wanted to stalemate with him.

"I don't believe it! Su Ziyi, I can't believe you're so cold to me!" Ignoring his sword blade, Zhao Tianyu walked closer step by step, his eyes showing no fear or hesitation.

He was betting, betting his heart!

"Don't come back!" Su Ziyue said in a low voice, her wrist trembling slightly.

The tip of his sword was already at his chest, if he took one more step forward, it would pierce his heart!

"I won't leave, and I won't dodge. Su Ziyi, if you truly have such a heartless disposition, come at me! I don't believe you can actually do this!" Zhao Tianyu pressed forward, not caring about the deadly sword blade inches from his chest.

"This is your fault!" Seeing him advance instead of retreating, Su Ziyi's heart sank. With a gritted teeth, she raised her sword and stabbed at him.

In his estimation, he certainly wouldn't stand there foolishly and let himself be stabbed, he would definitely dodge out of the way.

"Pfft—" The sound of metal piercing flesh, followed by a steady stream of blood flowing down the blade and dripping onto the ground, staining it a horrifying crimson.

“You’re really ruthless, Su Ziyue! You’re so merciless!” With a grunt, Zhao Tianyu frowned slightly, but he didn't even glance at the wound on his chest, let alone cover it.

A pair of obsidian-black, narrow eyes stared coldly at him. His heart ached as if it were being gripped tightly in someone's hand, almost crushed to pieces. The pain was so intense that he could barely breathe.

He risked his life to bet on his sincerity, but the result was so heartbreaking.

Su Ziyi, your heart is cold!

"You, you why don't you dodge" Su Ziy翼 was shocked, staring in disbelief with wide eyes. The hand holding the sword hilt trembled slightly, feeling scalding hot and almost causing him to lose his grip on the long sword.

The blood on his chest was a shocking red.-person high desk, with nowhere else to go.He averted his gaze, forcing himself to calm down. "Impudent! Since ancient times, how can men love men This goes against the norms of society, and is unacc...
