Chapter 35 Options

    Two months ago.

    Yuege had been fighting against a heart demon for a long time in the dark and sunless sea of spiritual knowledge.

    That demon was very rampant at first.

    It laughed recklessly, and poked at Yuege’s painful points, one by one.

    Why? You’d better leave as soon as possible…

    Don’t you know what’s wrong with Zhu Yu? Don’t regret it….

    What? Do you know that Zhu Yu is haunted by her demons right now? It’s all your fault…

    If Yuege had been awake at this point, she would have been able to discern the truth of the demon’s words and despise the demon’s provocative tactics at this low level.

    However, while she was confused and dazed, she was actually asking questions about herself.

    Is it… my fault?

    At that moment, a cool, refreshing cold current came from nowhere and cleansed the entire Sea of Spiritual Consciousness.

    The voice of the devil suddenly became much quieter.

    Yuege’s spiritual consciousness gradually cleared, and she froze in her tracks.

    So familiar…this feeling.

    The Heart Demon struggled again and shouted, “Ha! It’s ironic. You’ve got Zhu Yu involved again. What do you think this coolness is? This is exactly her Ice Spirit blood!”

    “Hahahahahahahaha… how much essence blood she lost for you, she’s dying now!”

    “You won’t be able to save her!”

    Already awake, Yuege, whose IQ is online was silent for a moment: “…”

    Hey, don’t say that, but if you’re going to lie to people, you should at least be able to do lie it properly.

    Why would Zhu Yu will be haunted by a demon in one moment, and then bleed to death the next….

    Shen Yan and Qian Se are here, too. They won’t just stand by and watch that happens to Zhu Yu.

    Ridiculous.

    And so, Yuege’s conscious body lounged down.

    The demon cried out, and she replied.

    –“Why don’t you leave! Zhu Yu will be killed by you!”

“It’s only harming her if I leave and no one prepares her food.”

“Are you going to continue to use friendship as an excuse to stay with Zhu Yu and let her suffer?”

“That’s ridiculous, I haven’t even decided on my own whether to accept or reject… you’re so good, are you already assuming I’ll reject?”

    — “You, you, you! How stubborn, stubborn and stubborn!”

    Yuege sneered.

    “Yes, I wasn’t thinking much.”

    “And you missed the point…”

    “I’m the one who can’t leave her.”

    Yuege said word for word, smiling, “I am unaware of the feelings I have for Ah Zhu, but even though my heart is confused, this is a matter between the two of us.”

    “It’s not your turn for a heart demon to intervene!”

    The Heart Demon was momentarily silent.

    Yuege, right then, shouted harshly, “So, why don’t you retreat?!”

    In the next moment, the magic barrier broke itself.

    Only a villain’s standard line echoed.

    “Do you think this is the end? You’ll never get rid of me!”

    Yuege was unconcerned: “If you come again, I’ll push you back again!”

    It’s not good. You can’t be a demon anymore.

    An early career change is the way to go….

    —–.

    Yuege had been immersed in the Sea of Spiritual Consciousness for a long time, mostly as if she was asleep and unconscious.

    Sometimes, it was as if she suddenly woke up and could sense some movement in the outside world.

    During this time, she occasionally saw flashes of images that were dreamlike.

    There was the Asura King’s magnificent underwater palace.

    There were sea hordes of fish and monsters.

    There was little Shui Lanli’s teasing look….

    And little Zhu Yu.

    The little Zhu Yu was surrounded by a dozen or so fierce-looking or beautiful evil Asura children.

    If she was an ordinary child girl, she would have been so afraid that she would have just twitched.

    But little Zhu Yu’s eyes were blank and calm, and she was actually in a calm posture.

    In the blink of an eye, such image faded away.

    It was as if it had only been as brief as a breath, and yet it had been as long as several springs and autumns….

    Yuege finally woke up from such a mysterious and strange state.

    Zhu Yu was sitting at the edge of her bed, unmoving, presumably in cultivation.

    Using spiritual sense she checked the wall calendar, and Yuege was suddenly informed that ah… it had been two months.

    Yuege quietly closed her eyes, unmoving and pondering.

    As she had said to the heart devil, she wasn’t sure what kind of feelings she had for Zhu Yu.

    But what was certain was that if she was to leave Zhu Yu, she couldn’t do it.

    Perhaps it was because she was the person with the deepest bond since she had arrived in this world?

    Yuege thought and thought, incomprehensible, she didn’t know.

    But inwardly, she also had a certain feeling-

    In this life, she’s intertwined with Zhu Yu.

    Suddenly Zhu Yu moved slightly and was about to get up.

    Yuege noticed, opened her eyes, and grabbed her cuff.

    –“Have you been waiting for a long time?”

    –“Not at all.”

    That’s it.

    —.

    When Yuege woke up this morning, the level had already broken through to the Kong Xuan realm, which was staggeringly fast.

    Refreshed and energetic, she didn’t even need to recuperate her body.

    Yuege simply moved around, then followed Zhu Yu to the arena.

    On the way, Zhu Yu’s eyes didn’t leave her for a moment, Yuege noticed and smiled back.

    Zhu Yu cautiously said, “Although I said – I love you, I don’t actually force you to respond.”

    “If you feel something is wrong and want to leave and go back to your clan… I have no intention of stopping you.”

    Yuege paused, smiling, “Really?”

    Zhu Yu’s entire body was tense, her lips pursed, before she slightly nodded.

    Yuege resisted the urge to poke her forehead and sigh, and continued to ask, “Why?”

    Zhu Yu didn’t speak.

    “Tell me… okay? I want to know what you’re thinking about…”

    The latter half of the sentence was spoken softly and gently by Yuege, as if it was like a sharp little claw, scratching at the tip of one’s heart.

    This would be hard for Zhu Yu to resist, but with only a slight hesitation, she told the truth: “Your demon, isn’t that exactly because of my doing-“

    “If you want to leave, you should return to the land of the Asura clan. The journey of cultivation is long, and even if you weren’t with me, I would still be the same as I am today and wouldn’t be affected much. Therefore, you don’t need to mind me do much.”

    There was no one who would be willing to stay by the side of someone who harboured sinister thoughts about them and put everything under her nose.

    No matter how much Zhu Yu didn’t understand the world, this was something she hadn’t thought of.

    Yuege… How could she be an exception?

    Yuege sniffed, thoughtful, “So that’s what you were thinking…”

    She wandered for a long while and suddenly laughed in a low voice.

    “Haha, the two of us are really tweedledum and tweedledee…”

    She just as slow as her and has a low EQ, but she likes to conjure her own imagination, but so what?

    Zhu Yu thought she would have to choose between “staying” and “leaving her”.

    But she never knew that to Yuege, her two options were…

    Staying to maintain the status quo.

    As well as staying to be a couple with her.

    Other than that, there was nothing else she could think of.

    Yuege explained to Zhu Yu, shaking with laughter as she said it.

    She didn’t know why, she just feel particularly happy.

    Zhu Yu listened carefully and looked soothed, her smile reflected on her eyes. “So, you won’t leave?”

    Yuege immediately stopped smiling, “Leaving for what? I’m also responsible for all the food you’ll be eating from now on until the Immortal’s position, so why do you think I’m leaving for?”

    Zhu Yu didn’t ask how long Yuege planned to think about it, nor did she plan to bring it up again.

    She just tilted her head and contemplated for a moment, “Today we’re going to eat purple grouse.”

    Yuege is excited,  “Ok!”

    “And eat two fruit platters.”

    Yuege loftily said, “Ok!”

    “There’s also Basil Lily Congee, boiled white prawns, Emerald and White Jade Soup (Spinach and tofu soup)…”

    “Okay, set it all up and let’s eat it!”

    —–.

    Actually, does it matter whether Yuege agreed or not immediately?

    As long as she stays….

    As long as she stays, there is always a way to slowly, becoming affectionate.

    Those who cultivate, will have long age, a thousand or even ten thousand years.

    After all, she was just considering it for a bit longer, why not?
