The Heaven-shattering: I and Wu Shi compete for the throne

Chapter 672 Hesitation
It took quite a while before Li Daoming released the ruthless empress, not completely taking advantage of her.

Although she had agreed to marry him, only Li Daoming knew how much of it was genuine.

He first used his mental power, but did not modify the will to control her consciousness. He merely temporarily blurred her disgust for him and amplified her strange feelings for him.

Moreover, when she agreed, she was in a state of confusion and her thoughts were in disarray.

Once his influence on her fades, once she calms down, once her sealed physical body and spiritual cultivation are unsealed, and once reason regains its dominance, it's hard to say what she'll feel for him.

Perhaps because of his previous actions, she has clarified her feelings and realized that she has fallen for him, agreeing to marry him. She may also become disgusted and dissatisfied because he has too many Daoist companions and concubines, and sever her ties with him with her sword. Or she may discover his subtle actions, becoming even more dissatisfied with him or even bursting with murderous intent...

Besides, he had taken advantage of her countless times, and each time he did so, he would ask her if she would marry him when she was in a daze.

If she was unwilling or did not answer, he would first silently recite a calming mantra to calm his mind, and then continue after his mind had calmed down, so as not to lose control and take advantage of her on the spot.

Perhaps she isn't completely infatuated yet, and only agreed to marry him because she didn't want to continue being bullied by him.

As long as she hasn't officially married him and started a joint cultivation relationship, she could still change her mind.

If she really changes her mind and refuses firmly, even at the cost of her life, even if he really wants to marry her, he won't force her to marry him or possess her. At most, he'll bully her for a while, take advantage of her, and then let her go.

As for taking advantage of her now and making it a fait accompli, he had considered it, but after hesitating, he chose to give up.

He worried that once she regained her senses, she would sense that he had lost his virginity and would fight her to the death, or even commit suicide to avoid marrying him.

As for now, although she has been bullied terribly by him, she has not yet lost her virginity. At most, she will fight him to the death, but she should not commit suicide.

But he is far stronger than her and could easily capture her alive. If he bullies her for a while longer, she will definitely not dare to fight him anymore...

Li Daoming did not continue to bully the ruthless empress, nor did he make any more underhanded moves. It took her a long time to come back to her senses from her infatuation.

At this moment, the ruthless empress was in extremely complicated emotions. She wanted to calm her mind, but found that she could not regain her composure no matter what she did.

Seeing that the ruthless empress had regained her senses and was still in turmoil, Li Daoming tentatively asked, "How about we get married a hundred years from now?"

Actually, if possible, he would prefer to marry her immediately.

In this way, he wouldn't have to worry about not being able to resist taking her right there before the wedding, nor would he have to worry about any accidents.

However, he was still too embarrassed to rush things. He needed to give her some time to adjust and calm down.

Moreover, as the Heavenly Emperor, he needed to make some preparations for his grand wedding; it was impossible for him to rush into it casually.

"Ha! What good would it do if I said it was bad?" The ruthless empress couldn't help but sneer and mock.

She has now regained her senses and is fully aware of her situation; she has fallen into his hands and has no power to resist.

He wanted to kiss and bully her, to take advantage of her, and she couldn't resist or refuse. He wanted to marry her a hundred years later, and she still had no power to resist.

Thinking about how he had bullied and taken advantage of her in various ways, and how she would be forced into marriage by him, and knowing that Li Daoming already had seven Daoist partners and thousands of concubines, and that he would marry even more Daoist partners and take in even more concubines, she knew she would become one of them.

An endless rage and murderous intent began to grow within her, and the killing intent in her heart gradually overshadowed the previous tenderness and affection.

Sensing the rising anger and murderous aura within the ruthless empress, Li Daoming thought to himself, "This is bad!"

However, after a few moments of hesitation, he did not continue to obscure her hatred and murderous intent towards him, nor did he amplify her tender feelings for him, as he had done before.

Instead, he released her, looked directly at her, and said seriously, "Of course it works!"

"If you are unwilling to marry me a hundred years from now, I will absolutely not force you."

“However…” Li Daoming’s tone changed, and he said firmly and domineeringly, “I like you very much and I will never let you go. One day, I will make you willingly marry me. You can only and will absolutely be my woman.”

Of course, in order not to provoke her and make her even angrier, he didn't say some things.

That means he would tease her from time to time, constantly deepening her impression of him and pushing her boundaries.

At the same time, after Ye Liuxian breaks through to the half-step Quasi-Immortal Emperor, he will try to restore the connection he severed with her.

We need to think of other methods and use multiple approaches to try and win her over as soon as possible.

After Li Daoming finished speaking, he met the ruthless empress's gaze without flinching. His eyes were filled with tenderness, sincerity, determination, and domineering strength...

Soon, in just a few breaths, the ruthless empress seemed unable to withstand Li Daoming's gaze and turned her head away, avoiding his eyes.

Logically speaking, given how Li Daoming bullied her and seemed determined to have her, as if she were already his, she should have been furious, and her anger, murderous intent, and rage should have surged again.

But for some reason, upon hearing his firm and domineering words and seeing his eyes, which were filled with endless tenderness yet brooked no refusal, the anger, murderous intent, and killing intent that were rising in her heart slowly subsided.

The tender and enchanting moments she had previously experienced, along with his domineering and unparalleled charm, gradually surfaced in her mind, and a thought began to emerge: perhaps agreeing to marry him was not an impossible idea.

But soon, recalling Li Daoming's debauchery with his many concubines, and everything that had happened before, she couldn't help but feel dissatisfied again, and the idea of ​​marrying him slowly faded away.

But thinking of his previous gaze, his determination to win her over, and the difference in their strength—she was captured by him in just one move, she had no power to resist him at all—he wanted to marry her, and she couldn't resist at all. The tenderness and affection they had shared before... she had the thought of agreeing again.

……

With her thoughts in turmoil, the ruthless empress sometimes wanted to refuse, sometimes to agree, sometimes to run away, and sometimes to delay...

Li Daoming did not urge her, but waited patiently for her reply. However, after nearly a month, she still could not make a decision.

At this point, Li Daoming didn't want to wait any longer and decided to put some pressure on her to make a decision as soon as possible.

"Have you made up your mind yet? If you haven't decided and haven't replied, I'll take that as your agreement. Send a message back to the Boundless Holy Court to prepare for our wedding a hundred years from now," Li Daoming said.
