Against Heaven's Will Chapter 191 Secret

"Huh?" Xuefeng widened his eyes. "You want to tell me that Pearl was—"
"That's right," Katherine nodded before he finished. "She was the one he entered the Dragon Realm for. Unfortunately, her parents had different plans, already planning to marry her off to another influential Dragon to continue their lineage."
"How did you two end up together then?" Xuefeng wondered curiously.
"Shh, I'm not done with the story," Katherine shushed him by kissing him once again, getting him used to being kissed. "Naturally, he didn't accept that and tried his hardest to convince her parents but nothing worked. In the end, the two loved each other so much they even tried to escape together."
"Let me guess, they got caught," Xuefeng commented.
"Yeah, they did and Pearl got taken away by her parents while Liu was chased away from the Dragon Realm. Going back to your question, I met him here in the Heaven Realm and I didn't know anything that happened between him and Pearl. I only learned about it by accident when I mentioned him to my family. They were also dissatisfied with my decision but I am too strong for them to decide how I live my life," Katherine explained casually.
"What did he say when you confronted him?"
Xuefeng's question made Katherine smile.
"You already know me well, huh?" she teased him by rubbing their noses together. "He promised me that he already moved on and that I'm the only one in his heart. Of course, I believed him at that time but looking at how he reacted on the call when he heard Pearl's voice, I'm not so sure about that anymore."
"He indeed changed his tone when he learned it was Pearl that we saved…" Xuefeng noticed, recalling the call they had earlier. Sect Master Liu immediately changed his tone as if he was worried about her.
"Mhmm, that's why I agreed to Pearl's request," Katherine muttered softly. "She wants Liu back and I gave her free hand to do whatever she wants."
"So you decided to end your relationship just like that?" Xuefeng questioned but he wasn't surprised. Hearing the whole story, he would also do the same in her place.
"That's right. You said it yourself. I deserve to be happy. Why wouldn't I chase after someone who makes me happy instead of being stuck with someone who doesn't care about me at all?" Katherine asked back, caressing his cheek in joy. "On the side note, I feel really good right now. I don't think I can live without our sessions anymore."
"How do I make you happy? I didn't even do anything," Xuefeng pointed out, being completely passive this whole time.
"It doesn't matter what you did. Just your presence alone is enough to make me happy," Katherine confessed as she reached down on his chest, heading towards his lower belly. "Also, we can always change the former…"
"No," Xuefeng rejected immediately, catching her wrist before it reached its target. "As of now, you are still married. We are already overstepping our boundaries."
Xuefeng released her hand and pushed her aside, adding, "The session is over. We only need one more and your Curse will be gone."
"You didn't enjoy cuddling and kissing me?" Katherine asked alluringly as she grabbed his arm, not letting him get away. "I could feel your body shiver when I rubbed your ears."
She looked down at his crotch and winked, "Your soldier is standing on attention as well. He seemed like he enjoyed me plenty."
"Of course I enjoyed it, you are beautiful, but that doesn't change anything. First be single before you even try anything with me," Xuefeng expressed firmly. "I'm not going to risk your husband's revenge on me for stealing his wife."
"How about I cancel our marriage then?" Katherine proposed playfully. "I can say I love you instead which will force you two to fight in a life and death duel. All you need is defeat him and I will be yours."
Xuefeng glared at her, turning serious, but she changed her plan right away.
"I'm joking of course. Don't worry, I won't let you share any consequences. You don't really need to do anything. I will only court you when I'm single," Katherine assured as she rubbed his arm before releasing him. "I'm sure my husband will cheat on me with Pearl tonight. I will be able to break up with him on the spot."
"That's a big if. What if he stays loyal to you?" Xuefeng asked as he put on his clothes. "I don't like this talk. We can talk when something actually happens. Don't speculate and plan ahead. Love is not a game. It's a lifelong adventure with many up and downs."
He gave her one last look and left, throwing one last advice.
"Think about all the good moments you had together and ask yourself if its worth giving it all up."
When he left, Katherine fell on the bed and muttered, "A few moments with you are worth more than a hundred of his… At least I don't need to pretend I'm happy…"
She stood up with a sigh and wore her clothes as well while staring at the door.
Knock, knock.
"Come in," Katherine called out as if she was expecting someone already.
It wasn't even a minute after Xuefeng left that Pearl came in.
"How was it?" the dark-haired beauty asked on the spot.
"He is neutral to me since I'm married, but I'm sure I can court him successfully if my husband is no longer in the picture," Katherine replied casually, not looking worried at all.
"Wow. So you told him everything and decided to go all out," Pearl said amazed. "I wish I had your level of confidence back then. If only I confronted my parents as you did, none of this would have happened."
"I'm glad it did," Katherine countered with a shrug. "If I didn't go through all of it, I don't think I would even consider being with someone who has so many wives. Now I don't mind it at all."
Katherine gazed at Pearl and asked seriously, "Why do you still want Liu when you know how he really is?"
"Heh, you see, I'm different. I actually like the freedom," Pearl replied with a giggle. "Also, I think he loves me more than you. I can wrap him around my finger and make him do what I want."
"Tsk, get out," Katherine sneered, showing her way out. Just because they made a deal doesn't mean she liked her.
"Wait, I have one more question. How did you make his Bloodline react to you? I thought it's based on feelings," Pearl asked curiously, but Katherine only smirked.
"It's a secret."
