It was too much. As Huan Yi's words reverberated in her mind, Dongfang Bai felt as if her years of trials, progress, and cultivation achieved in the False Star weren't worth a damn. A moment in Huan Yi's presence made it all feel like a waste of time--a loss through and through.
This wasn't about cultivation. Across the three realms, who could make her mature to the realities of the world while filling her heart with warmth and bliss? All in a couple of sentences? Why...why could he always find the words she needed to hear so easily? Why could he always untie the knots in her heart? It wasn't fair. He was too good--making the thought of not being close to him 24/7 an unbearable prospect.
