Chapter 258 Xuannv 123
"Do you really have to know the result?" She raised her bright starry eyes slightly, helplessness and worry intertwined in her gaze, like the rippling autumn water, staring quietly at Donghua in front of her who was as stubborn as a thousand-year-old black ice, her cherry lips slightly opened, her voice was as soft as a mosquito but clearly audible.
Donghua stood straight like a pine tree. He raised his head slightly, his eyes firm as iron, revealing an unquestionable determination. He responded in a deep voice without hesitation: "Yes, I have made up my mind. This result is of vital importance to me. You must understand what I am thinking. Even though the way of heaven is extremely majestic and like a chasm, it can't stop me from pursuing my goal, and you, too, can't stop me either." After he finished speaking, he slowly turned his head. His strong profile looked even more stern under the outline of mottled light and shadow, like an unshakable towering mountain. His resolute expression seemed to have regarded all obstacles in the world as ants.
Jiaojiao couldn't help but chuckle softly, the laughter was as clear as a silver bell, but it couldn't hide the anger mixed in it. Her beautiful eyes moved, her eyes were full of emotions, and it seemed that all kinds of emotions were surging in them: "Humph, you are not saying something that is not in line with your heart. We have only met a few times, and how many heartfelt and intimate words have we said to each other? How can you claim so confidently that you have fallen deeply in love with me?" She shook her head gently, and her delicate eyebrows were full of doubts and ridicules about Donghua's passionate words. However, the slightly trembling eyelashes, like the trembling wings of a butterfly in the wind, inadvertently revealed the secret and imperceptible expectation in her heart.
Donghua heard this and slowly turned around. He stood tall and straight like a jade tree, his eyes were as bright as two burning flames, and he locked onto Jiaojiao's eyes tightly. He said firmly and persistently, "I have made up my mind. The Three Lives Stone carries the ancient law of fate between heaven and earth, and is a guide from the unknown. If our names are engraved on the Three Lives Stone, then it is a fate bestowed by heaven, and I will not miss it."
Upon hearing this, Jiaojiao's eyebrows knitted tightly, like a distant mountain covered with a touch of sadness. She moved lightly and took a step forward eagerly, her eyes full of concern and worry. She raised her hand and gently grasped Donghua's sleeve, her voice filled with anxiety and earnestness: "Donghua, why are you so obsessed with the Three Lives Stone? It is just a so-called destiny that is praised by the world but is illusory. Even if your name and mine are really on the Three Lives Stone, what can it do? Matters of love are subtle and complicated. How can a piece of cold stone decide it at will? It is just a lifeless object. How can it influence our true feelings?"
Donghua frowned slightly, as if he was puzzled and confused. A hint of stubbornness flashed in his deep eyes. Although his tone was calm, it was full of unquestionable rebuttal: "The Three Lives Stone has been precipitated over the years. It carries the secret of marriage between heaven and earth. It is definitely not an ordinary thing. If it can confirm the fate between you and me, then it is in accordance with the will of heaven. Why can't I pursue it persistently? This is an opportunity given by fate. How can I give up so easily?"
Jiaojiao sighed helplessly, and that sigh seemed to carry a thousand kinds of helplessness and worries. The worries in her eyes became heavier, like a deep pool with no bottom. "How many infatuated men and women in the world are obsessed with the prophecy of the Three-Life Stone like moths to a flame, and put all their hopes on it, but in the end they only end up with heartache and sadness. You and I are both free and detached from the world, so why should we be bound by this so-called destiny and lose our original freedom and ease? The fate in this world should be natural and follow the heart, not forced."
Donghua was silent for a long time after hearing this. His expression gradually softened, and the stubbornness in his eyes faded a little, replaced by a hint of hesitation and thought. He lowered his head slightly, and his tone softened a little, but still with a hint of persistence: "But if I don't try, I will always feel uneasy. This obsession follows me like a shadow. If I don't find out clearly, I am afraid that I will not be able to live in peace in the future."
Jiaojiao gently pulled Donghua's sleeve and raised her head slightly. Her eyes were gentle and earnest, just like the warm spring sun, trying to melt the ice in Donghua's heart: "Donghua, let go of your obsession with the Three Lives Stone. We can get along as we please and slowly get to know each other over time. If we are destined to be together, it will be like a stream returning to the sea. Why should we force a conclusion on a piece of stone? Don't let this meaningless pursuit blind us to our true feelings for each other."
