Chapter 1147: A Battle within a Square Inch (Third update, thanks to Whale Cub and the Heirloom Jade Bi.)

Qin Yu: "You're not that significant to me. At most, you're a phase of trouble. I won't speak of the time before you, but after you, there won't be anything permanent either."

She looked at Bai Mu, her tone indifferent, as if engaged in an academic discussion: "Everyone has their own subjective conjectures and individual will. Most people regard themselves as the center of the universe. In the pages of novels, they're called Mary Sue and Jack Sue; in social reality, it's called self-importance; in the more artistic and elegant terms, 'I am the fairest of them all.' So since you've just been self-important, I might as well be self-important too—to return the favor."

How to be self-important? Qin Yu still chose elegant words tinged with cultural cultivation.

"Bai Mu, you think of yourself as a figure of the epoch, convinced that you have a domineering, fate-controlling influence on this plane, on everyone in this plane, but in fact, you do not."
