Luo Can'ang's body stiffened noticeably. He turned to look at me in disbelief, his eyes filled with shock and confusion.
I felt uneasy under his gaze and could only awkwardly smile at him, unsure of what to say.
" Can'ang, you should know that your fate line is exceptionally chaotic and cannot be unraveled by anyone, and she is the root cause of it all!" Wang Meili pointed at me, her tone filled with anger. "She violated Heavenly Law to complete her mission and came down to approach you. Are you really going to protect her?"
"No, Can'ang, let me explain..." I anxiously tried to clarify, but was interrupted by Wang Meili.
"Explain? What is there left to explain? The facts are right in front of us!" As she spoke, a golden rope suddenly appeared in her hand. With a flick of her wrist, the rope lunged at me like a serpent.
I shut my eyes in fear but felt no pain. Instead, I heard Wang Meili's surprised voice: "What’s happening?!"
I opened my eyes to see Luo Can'ang standing in front of me. He gripped the golden rope tightly with one hand, his face pale and beads of sweat forming on his forehead, clearly enduring immense pain.
" Can'ang, are you crazy? Do you even know what you're doing?!" Wang Meili looked at Luo Can'ang in disbelief.
Luo Can'ang ignored Wang Meili's questioning. He slowly raised his head, his gaze firm as he looked at her and said word by word: "I like Lin Xiaoxiao. I want to be with her, and no one can stop me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the aura around Luo Can'ang suddenly changed. A powerful force erupted from within him, pushing Wang Meili back several steps.
At the same time, Luo Can'ang held my hand tightly, our fingers intertwined.
His warm body temperature transmitted through our palms. I looked up at him in surprise and met his deep gaze. In that moment, time seemed to freeze; my heartbeat grew louder, almost shattering my eardrums.
Where their fingers intertwined, a powerful force suddenly erupted, akin to a volcanic explosion, shattering Wang Meili's golden chains. The golden fragments danced in the air, eventually transforming into specks of starlight that dissipated into the atmosphere. Wang Meili was struck by this force and fell awkwardly to the ground, her delicate makeup now slightly smeared. She looked at the scene before her in disbelief, her eyes filled with shock and fear.
"This... this is impossible!" Wang Meili struggled to rise from the ground, pointing at me and Luo Can'ang, her voice trembling, "You... how could you..."
Luo Can'ang shielded me behind him, his gaze icy as he stared at Wang Meili, his tone unwavering: "I told you, I want to be with her."
I peeked out from behind Luo Can'ang, looking at the disheveled Wang Meili, feeling a mix of emotions. I had never seen her so flustered; she had always been high and mighty, untouchable.
"So this is your goal..." Wang Meili suddenly calmed down. She tidied her messy hair, her eyes sharpening. "Lin Xiaoxiao, I should have realized you would resort to such despicable means!"
I was taken aback, not understanding what she meant.
"Do you think you've won? Do you think this can stop me?" Wang Meili sneered. "Heavenly Law states that a Matchmaker cannot develop feelings for mortals and cannot use celestial powers to assist them! For the sake of a mortal, you not only violated Heavenly Law but also openly opposed me. Do you think the Celestial Court will let you off?"
Her words were like a bucket of cold water poured over my head, extinguishing the hope that had just ignited in my heart.
Luo Can'ang sensed my unease; he tightened his grip on my hand and gave me a reassuring look before turning to Wang Meili with a cold tone: "Heavenly Law? If Heavenly Law is unjust, then it should be broken!"
"What audacity!" Wang Meili laughed in anger. "Who do you think you are? Do you think you can shake the authority of the Celestial Court?"
"You'll soon find out whether I can shake the authority of the Celestial Court!" Luo Can'ang said as he pulled me behind him and raised his right hand, palm facing up, gathering a powerful force in his hand.
I watched him in astonishment, unsure of what he intended to do.
"What do you want to do?" Wang Meili asked, looking at him warily.
Luo Can'ang ignored her. He closed his eyes and began to chant softly. An invisible force spread from him, causing the furniture in the room to shake violently, and the chandelier on the ceiling swayed precariously.
Feeling this powerful energy, I was filled with unease. I tugged at Luo Can'ang's sleeve and whispered, " Can'ang, what are you going to do?"
He opened his eyes and looked down at me, his gaze gentle yet resolute. "Don't be afraid, I will take care of everything."
