Chapter 1244: 1223: So, I Deserve to Die?

Thinking of Yusuf’s state of mind, Margaret seemed to understand a bit about how he felt when facing Nerissa. Opposite, the girl leaned casually on a chair woven with vines, alluring and captivating.

She lazily played with her long hair at her fingertips.

Her gaze did not even glance at Yusuf.

The man looked at the girl’s indifferent appearance, eyes complex, yet all emotions concealed cleanly.

His face was calm, just missing the gentle smile.

Without Nerissa, he would never smile again...

"Yusuf, the Immortal Lord, you exerted so much effort to try to kill me merely to maintain the peace of the Sky Realm. If you reveal the spell to lift the seal today, we can both have peace. Otherwise..."

The girl said, suddenly smiling, mischievous and cold.

"I will slaughter your entire Sky Realm!"

These words were spoken with extreme arrogance.

But in Yusuf’s eyes, it was only endless heartache and helplessness.

For the peace of the Sky Realm, he could not break Nerissa’s seal.

But looking at the pure and beautiful girl he once raised since she first turned human, now turned into this form.

His heart twisted with pain.

"Nerissa, stop being stubborn. The demonic Qi after the seal is broken is beyond your control, you will ravage the Three Realms."

The girl listened to the familiar voice that penetrated her bones, froze for a moment, then laughed.

Laughing with a crazed sadness.

"What does the safety of the Three Realms have to do with me? Why do you have the right to exchange my life for the lives of the beings of these Three Realms? What makes you think I will inevitably destroy these Three Realms?"

The girl continued, her eyes gradually reddened, her voice still was cold and aggressive.

Only Yusuf could hear the bewilderment and helplessness in her words.

He lowered his gaze, hands tightly clenched within his wide sleeves.

The same question, Nerissa had asked him before she became demonic.

Such desolate innocence.

How can you say I will destroy these Three Realms when none of you are me?

I haven’t even set foot in the Three Realms, yet you have sentenced me to death, decreed my execution?

Yusuf, do you also believe I am the one to destroy these Three Realms?

Yusuf, between me and the Three Realms, which is more important to you...

The girl’s questions echoed as if they were still in his ears.

"Nerissa, you can’t control that demonic Qi."

Nerissa smiled, all the vulnerability in her eyes vanished completely, only coldness and cruelty remained.

"So, should I die then?"

Yusuf was stunned, looking at that stunningly beautiful face, unable to recover for a long time.

"Cut! Very good, very good, absolutely perfect."

Matthew Timberlake’s excited voice pulled Margaret’s thoughts back.

He looked dazedly around, then at Bella Green, who was walking away, opened his mouth but couldn’t speak, with a trace of shock in his eyes.

He had actually forgotten he was acting.

Just in that moment, he had fully immersed himself in the role of Yusuf, even at that moment, he could clearly feel Yusuf’s state of mind.

Bella Green...

She didn’t discuss the scene with him, but used this method to let him get into character.

She knew he had read the book, so she allowed him to experience and immerse himself?

Margaret’s expression turned complex.

After a moment of silence, he turned to walk silently to Matthew Timberlake’s side, glancing at the display screen.

It was replaying the scene that had just been filmed.

Matthew Timberlake was also watching, very satisfied with his expression.

Margaret was stunned again; he had acted in many dramas, but no director had ever been satisfied with his acting skills.

He understood, and didn’t care.

After all, the Third Young Master of the White Family just joined the circle for fun, to experience the feeling of being adored by the public.

Would acting skills affect his popularity?
