Tessa Quinn's eyes burned with fury.
What exactly is Ian Tai trying to do?!
"That's exactly why I've tried again and again to take you away from the Lotus Realm, even wanted to destroy it! As long as just one lifetime fails, the Twin-Lotus Constellation will never form!"
Tessa Quinn gazed out at the dazzling nebula, lost in thought.
"Tessa!" Landon Yale called out. "Don't keep gambling with him! I'd rather help you fight him!"
"Emperor Lan, what are you afraid of?" Suddenly, a cold, deep voice rang out.
Ian Tai quietly appeared behind Tessa Quinn.
He wore black robes, radiating the most striking masculine energy in all the heavens.
Tessa Quinn turned her head and glanced at him. "Why?"
Ian Tai: "Why what?"
"Someone like you—a Primordial Ancestor God who wouldn't shed a single tear if three children died fighting in distant star fields—shouldn't care about love or hate, right?" Tessa demanded. "Why do you insist on binding me to you forever? Do you actually like me? Are you obsessed with me, just like you were at the moment of our incarnation?"
"Does that matter?" Ian Tai's gaze swept lightly over her face.
"It matters."
She couldn't even remember how long it had been—he was always this cold.
They only met at formal occasions.
Twice a year, they shared a bed.
He never said anything extra.
He never did anything unnecessary.
They once conceived three children together.
But all of them died in battle.
