Chapter 518: This Is the Mega Evolution

Bai Wei’s heart was hurt once again.

Yesterday, Chao Lu was the first to create.

Today, Nalan Qingshu was the second to create.

The two princesses showcased the fierce spirit of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom and their terrifying style of straightforwardness without saying a word.

My goodness, she is still a child, only eighteen years old!

Can a girl who is only eighteen really say something like this?

She has indeed shown her growth, but the intensity… it’s a bit too much, even exceeding Bai Wei’s expectations, going beyond the scope.

Wait, wait… How do you solve this problem?

Bai Wei tried to look back at his past experiences and search for knowledge and solutions in his memories.

However, the answer is unsolvable.

In the table of contents of "The Days I Was a Mentor," there is no answer to this question. After all, there is no storyline about ‘teacher-student romance’ in it. On one hand, there is no room for such a topic, and on the other hand, unfortunate children have a tense internal competition.

With external pressure and internal competition, their intentions are evident to anyone, regardless of gender, but no one succeeded. They are also limited by the halo of being a mentor, as they say, ‘Once a teacher, always a father.’ Their ambitions to overthrow the mentors were not fulfilled, and even the mentor’s disguise died in an empty city, a heroic sacrifice.

Just like a witch waiting to seize the position of the queen after the empire’s destruction; the rebels also planned to seize power when the allied nations were struggling… but they didn’t wait until that time, so naturally, they didn’t provide Bai Wei with these coping methods and strategies.

So, this problem goes beyond the scope.

At least in primary school, middle school, high school, and even university textbooks, there won’t be any section on ‘how to deal with teacher-student romance.’

Nalan Qingshu saw him as an equally important pillar for support, seeking shelter, and actively depending on him. On the surface, she hasn’t escaped from her previous cage and still has a typical child’s mentality. But what sets her apart from before is that she doesn’t want to stay at the current level of dependence; she wants to go further. This ambition for progress gives her the motivation to take action.

The old Nalan Qingshu used to stand still or be forced to take action, being pushed around.

But now, she has started to walk and run on her own initiative, even chasing after things.

Power comes from muscles and people’s hearts, and people’s hearts are desires and ambitions. Strength doesn’t need to match ambitions, but rather keeps chasing after them continuously.

She set goals for herself and even dared to shout, "Once Bi Fang regains its country, I’ll be a decisive feudal lord. I dare to consider Bi Fang Country as my dowry. What does Chao Lu have to compare with me?" It’s hard to imagine what she can’t do.

Disadvantage has turned into an advantage here.

Her ability to switch positions and perspectives so quickly is truly amazing.

The high pressure she received from Bai Wei actually helped her figure some things out.

There were some elements of angry words, but after saying them, she realized it was completely feasible.

How could she lose to Chao Lu? How could she let them be together in both places!

Even if it means dying, I won’t agree. I must be included on the journey to the underworld, three of us together!

"I really dare." Nalan Qingshu, unafraid after speaking her words, "I’m not joking!"

Bai Wei wanted to speak but stopped.

I think, as a neighboring country of the Ming Country, you should learn the subtleties of the people from the Ming Country. Some things cannot be revealed.

He asked with a bitter smile, "Why do you all think I have to go to the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom? I have my own life too."

"You’ve misunderstood, I’m not here to break up your family, but to join it." Nalan Qingshu said calmly, "I suddenly realized that Chao Lu’s freedom, I also have it. The biggest challenge for me is just the restoration of the country… As for governing it or not, how to govern it, I don’t understand, and it might not require my participation either."

"I can let Murong Nu replace me in political matters, or I can fully authorize those below me, even if I’m sidelined, it’s no problem, as long as there’s a symbolic presence."

"As this Bi Fang, I’m not a demon king or even a great demon. I have no intimidating power, I can only rely on diplomacy and the royal court to sustain myself."

"Since that’s the case, I even think that after the country is restored, it might be better to find a good partner and sell off Bi Fang Country."

She understood a certain truth on her own, "Sell the country, then run away."

"Sold?"

"Yes, sold! There’s no benefit in being a vassal state anyway. It’s easy to die a violent death. I don’t have much attachment to this place, and I actually want to go to the Ming Country… If the imperial court is willing to take over, I can do business with the Third Princess. We can transform from a vassal state to a dependent state. She is skilled at governing territories, more capable than me. The people will have better lives without the vassals, and civil and military officials can have more opportunities for promotion. Actually, it’s all for the better."

Nalan Qingshu calmly analyzed the plan to sell the country and came to a conclusion – if we sell the vassal state, we can all have a bright future.

"By then, I will have a significantly high dowry, which can be converted into overseas assets. At least I can spend it lavishly for a lifetime!"

"By purchasing some rare treasures, I can easily grow into an adult form. By then, I will definitely be good-looking."

She continued to calculate, tapping her finger, "Then, I will become a young, beautiful, and rich lady. Although I don’t have seven sisters, it is already rare to have someone like me. Am I not better than Chao Lu?"

Bai Wei coughed, "These are just external conditions, I personally don’t care much about them… And what you said is outrageous. Where does your baseless sense of comparison with Chao Lu come from?"

"I’m not comparing myself, I’m just stating the obvious. I’m not worse than her, and maybe… even better!"

Nalan Qingshu placed her hand on her chest. Although her appearance didn’t change, her energy and spirit grew stronger than before. Her blue eyes, sparkling like gemstones, gleamed, "As long as I can successfully restore our country, I will have unlimited power and a wider future."

"She said she could die with you, and I said we could live together and be even better."

As she spoke, her passionate emotions slightly calmed down.

"I also hope you don’t misunderstand, I really didn’t have any intention of using you. Whether our country is restored or not, it doesn’t matter to me."

"I am not Chao Lu. Chao Lu can never let go of her responsibilities. Her homeland, Bai Ze Kingdom, is already in a desperate state and constantly faces the threat of enemies. She needs to save it. If she doesn’t want to have regrets, she has to give it her all."

"I don’t have a chance to have regrets, and naturally, I don’t have these restraints."

"If our country is successfully restored, I will have an entire vassal state to offer you. If we fail, I don’t want to die here either. I can simply leave and start anew. I have already done my best, and I have severed the ties of the past!"

"To me, it would be even better if I fail! I never wanted my entire life to be bound by it. I can selfishly end my life in Qingyang City, or I can selfishly give up on the dream of restoring our country and start fresh. I have already given enough. I don’t want to risk my life, my dignity, or my freedom!"

"By then, I will be all alone. I don’t have any family, so I yearn for a family. You have become my family, and you are everything to me. Your loved ones will also be precious to me."

She lowered her voice and said slowly, "That’s why I will definitely come to see you…"

"As long as you’re not here, no matter where you are, I will go to see you, find you, and then hug you. I will ask you again and again until you agree to become my family."

As Bai Wei listened to these words, he felt a tingling sensation running down his spine. It wasn’t exactly palpitations, but he felt something…

"Are you thinking that I seem too paranoid, or perhaps too scary?" Nalan Qingshu asked softly.

"As long as you’re aware of it," Bai Wei didn’t dare to say more, fearing that he might provoke her further.

"I can’t change it. My mother is like this. She gave up the beautiful rain in the south to come to this place. I am just like her. I have the courage and determination. If my mother can abandon a peaceful life and her past, then what can’t I give up? After all, my life is already full of holes, I have almost nothing now," Nalan Qingshu said these words, sounding like a plea and helplessness. If she didn’t have nothing, why would she be so humble and persistent, afraid of not being able to hold onto this fleeting moonlight.

"I want a family, I want peace of mind, I want…"

The figure at the center of everything was reflected in her blue eyes.

"You."

Bang, bang, bang…! Bai Wei’s heart was taking the hit of a siege hammer. His body in Yingzhou was breathing unevenly, his nerves stretched tight.

"I am not equivalent to being at ease," he said.

Nalan Qingshu whispered, "But having you is better than peace… happiness."

"Little Green Pepper, you need to calm down… you’re not quite right at the moment."

"I am calm, it is actually you who needs to calm down. I know very well what I want. I don’t know if it’s love or not, but holding onto you means holding onto happiness. So, I will do everything in my power to pursue it until I succeed."

Nalan Qingshu stepped forward and gently embraced the puppet, her breath and body temperature astonishingly warm. "No need to rush for an answer. There is still time. When everything settles, I will naturally come find you… Until then, I won’t die, absolutely not."
