Chapter 1088 789: Hold It In
"Perhaps I am not suited for the Seventh Sin Domain."
Li Zheng and his group were walking in the Seventh Sin Domain. Looking around, it was desolate, with strange rock formations everywhere. In the dim environment, shadows twisted into bizarre giant beasts, ready to devour anyone.
The further Mirel walked, the more restless she felt. Some negative thoughts she had never paid attention to were magnified at this moment, becoming extremely significant, constantly appearing in her mind and steering her thoughts in a negative direction.
This "concern" was uncontrollable. Even though she knew her reaction was wrong, she couldn't suppress it.
"Things I normally don't care about keep popping up here, and it's really annoying!" Mirel's tone carried a hint of irritation.
Fighting against something she couldn't resist gave her a deep sense of powerlessness, as if all her efforts were in vain.
"Why don't you go back first?" Li Zheng stopped and said, "Just like when you entered the Fourth Sin Domain before, stay near the entrance and gradually adapt?"
If she couldn't resist, it was better to stay on the outskirts; otherwise, it would be too late to regret it if there was a mishap.
The most inadvisable action in the Sin Domain was to force oneself.
In other places, you could encourage people with "perseverance leads to victory," but saying that in the Sin Domain would harm the person!
"I…" Mirel glanced at Mudala standing beside her, hesitated for a moment, and gritted her teeth, "No need. Just answer a few questions for me."
Communication is the best way to address certain negative emotions, as many things are actually caused by one's wild thoughts. Talking about it can sometimes have a miraculous effect.
Li Zheng said, "Alright, go ahead and ask."
The three of them stopped moving forward and sat down in a relatively clean spot.
Mirel asked, "What do you think of Zhan Zhouzhou? Do you have any feelings for her? She's so strong; if she's with you, you'd be a perfect match, much more useful than me."
"Zhan Zhouzhou?" Li Zheng didn't expect Lady Zhan to become someone Mirel would be jealous of. He laughed, "Zhuang Zhouzhou and I are just ordinary friends, and she always teases and mocks me verbally. How could I possibly like her? You're overthinking it! Besides, her being strong is one thing, but that doesn't mean I have to pursue her. If I had to chase every talented, strong woman to make her mine, how would I be any different from a philanderer?"
Mirel remained unconvinced and asked, "What if Zhan Zhouzhou has feelings for you?"
"That's even less likely!" Li Zheng laughed heartily, "Someone like Zhan Zhouzhou would only be interested in someone stronger than herself, not a guy like me with no talent for martial arts who can only boost his strength through all sorts of methods."
Mirel shook her head, "You're too dense about relationships. I'm from the Enchanting Demon Race and a woman; I understand women's mindsets. Sometimes, the way Zhan Zhouzhou looks at you makes me feel threatened. She's definitely more than just a friend!"
"Oh?" Li Zheng smiled, "I really haven't noticed her having feelings for me. Since you mentioned it, I should ask her about it later. But you can rest assured on one point: although I may be a bit conventional and have occasionally fantasized about having three wives and four concubines, enjoying the blessings of all of them, I'm more traditional and dedicated. Since I've accepted you and am with you, I won't have anything to do with other women!"
He thought for a moment and added, "Unless you wrong me first."
Speaking of which, Li Zheng felt he was quite similar to Phoenix Mountain.
His attitude towards relationships was unwavering, dedicated, and loyal, not one to be swayed by others easily.
Once he committed to someone, he would keep his distance from others to avoid any acts of infidelity.
"Hmph."
Mirel's heart was reassured after hearing Li Zheng's heartfelt words, but she still pouted slightly, "You still left yourself an out. Didn't you say you wouldn't touch other women? Don't forget, besides me, you have several other wives."
Blood Patterned Black Dragon Mo Li, Blood Race's Dan Fenglai, Suffering Race's Anan, and the Destruction Race's Mudala. These were all matches made for Li Zheng by seniors, although the reasons were a bit far-fetched. Mirel didn't believe that Li Zheng had no feelings at all.
Four beautiful wives dropped from the sky; what man wouldn't have some thoughts?
Li Zheng shrugged, "You're indeed more concerned about this. Then I'll try to find a way to annul the marriages with them when I return. Will that put your mind at ease?"
Currently, he's either busy to death or exhausted daily; he doesn't have time to think about love.
Even the occasional "marital duties" were only to satisfy Mirel, ensuring she doesn't feel neglected.
"No need. You don't have to make any decisions for me." Mirel turned her head, "I don't want you to think later on that I forced you."
"Oh, then forget it." Li Zheng nodded, "Anyway, I haven't thought of an excuse to convince the Terminal."
The Terminal was meddling in this matter, and Li Zheng wasn't sure to what extent it was involved. If the Terminal doesn't agree… he'll just have to maintain the status quo, with nominal marriages but not in practice.
Next, Mirel asked more tricky questions, almost all related to relationships.
Li Zheng answered each one candidly and truthfully.
When Mirel asked, "Rebecca loves you deeply; would you accept her someday?" Li Zheng suddenly recalled hearing, from who knows where, a saying.
Women are naturally jealous, no matter how understanding they appear. They're often filled with jealous thoughts.
Mirel, being from the Enchanting Demon Race, was naturally sensitive about relationships, but unlike the legendary Enchanting Demons, she didn't live a wanton lifestyle and instead sought loyalty in relationships.
Yet, in Li Zheng's view, Mirel's worries were entirely unfounded.
Many things he hadn't even noticed, let alone considered in terms of betrayal.
"Well, even though some of your answers weren't satisfactory, I feel better, and the influence of the Seventh Sin Domain has lessened a lot." Mirel stood up and took Li Zheng's arm, "Let's keep going."
Most of the thoughts in her mind dissipated, and the pressure from the Seventh Sin Domain eased significantly. Mirel felt that her current state was enough to sustain her to the Celestial Dragon Race's Golden Light Zone.
At this point, Mudala spoke, "Master, your subordinate has many questions and would like you to enlighten me."
Li Zheng, while holding Mirel's hand and continuing on the journey, lightly responded, "Hold it in, deal with it yourself."
Even though Mudala was bound by a contract, Li Zheng would still be wary and leave some room for doubt when she spoke, not fully trusting her.
