"I believe Miss Situ is not a foolish person either. Some things should be quite perceptible to you."
The Underworld Sovereign looked earnestly at Situ Xue, shifting his self-reference from "this Sovereign" to "I." Situ Xue keenly noticed this change. Yet upon hearing his words, she instinctively took a few steps back, then lowered her head, pressed her lips together, and remained silent.
Noticing Situ Xue's guarded posture, a faint smile curved the corner of the Underworld Sovereign's mouth, though he paid little mind to her involuntary reaction. "It is completely normal for Miss Situ to be on guard. After all, we have known each other for a very short time, and you are unfamiliar with me. Although I hold a deep fondness for you in my heart, I have no intention of forcing you to accept me. I only hope that Miss Situ can lower your guard somewhat and take the time to get to know and understand me."
