In the backyard of Xixia Town, Ye You was leisurely enjoying a tranquil afternoon. After delegating her responsibilities from the Ninth Underworld, she discovered that life could indeed be like this—lazily passing through peaceful Yuezi days, each one ordinary yet fulfilling enough.
She could stroll down the street like a neighborly girl, buying cosmetics and shopping at the mall. Occasionally, when the mood struck her, she would visit the nearby Sky's End Tower to brew a pot of fine tea. After all, with the VIP Card that Hong Ling had given her, she could go straight to the top floor.
If she encountered someone lacking in common sense, she would simply kick them aside. Ye You never let their ignorance and foolishness irritate her. If it weren't for the restless Gu Ping, Yuezi could drift by day after day, until the end of time.
With the lazy Yoyo by her side, every time Yoyo got caught stealing drinks, it would cause quite a commotion in town. Ye You would have to step in and pay for the trouble. Yet in those mundane Yuezi days, Yoyo's playful antics added a splash of color to her otherwise calm life.
Reclining in a rocking chair, Ye You stretched her legs and took the Flying Message Paper that Gu Ping had sent over. Without looking at its contents, she noticed that Gu Ping had already stepped outside the yard.
Why did he come here?
I don't deny it. Regarding the matter of the Demonic Cultivator, the bait had already been cast out; how big a fish would bite? Wouldn't that fisherman need to come over and reel it in?
Be careful not to get caught up in it yourself.
Every time Gu Ping saw Ye You lounging lazily, an uncontrollable heat surged within him. He approached her and pulled the beauty into his embrace.
He could not deny it either; he would get himself involved. Could he cherish his own life more than this? Leaning close to Ye You's ear, Gu Ping whispered softly.
Feeling the warmth beside her ear, Ye You felt her face flush hot. She wanted to push Gu Ping away but found she lacked the strength to do so.
They had never spoken of romantic feelings openly, yet both their hearts were already filled with thoughts of each other.
A real person is full of contradictions. I don't deny it. Everyone has their own sage, just like Gu Ping, who once held onto the memories of Mu Yu, which fueled the motivation to tread the Immortal Path years ago. Yet, when faced with the choice of life and death, Gu Ping chose to give up.
Although reluctant to admit it, Gu Ping knew that the lingering thoughts of Mu Yu stemmed from a childhood yearning for a beautiful life, a kind of ideal that existed in her heart. But that could not be called deep affection.
From the moment Gu Ping laid eyes on Ye You's short black hair, she was deeply captivated. The powerful aura and the strength of a woman who could stand shoulder to shoulder with men made her seem uniquely formidable. In a world where there could be many like Gu Ping, there was only one Ye Youluo. When that burden-bearing Ye Youluo departed, Ye You became that singular person; there would never be another like her.
Before Dongshan, Master Xiao Zhe had warned that Coco would face danger to his life, so he felt it prudent to accompany him. I don't deny it; Gu Ping understood that those who gamble with their lives often find themselves powerless. If there was even a slight chance of safety, one would seek it. When she heard the elderly man hoarsely cursing himself, Gu Ping felt her heart twitch painfully. She suddenly remembered her mother, who lived in seclusion during the Liu Xia Dynasty. I don't deny it; being so young, what would happen if she grew old like Xiao Zhe, the Ancestor? Who would take care of Gu Shi then?
After resolving that matter, she felt compelled to visit home, to see her mother—even if just to report that she was safe—at least to let her parents know she was doing well.
Well, I don't really want to die; he will collect my body if I do.
Seeing Ye You's serious expression made Gu Ping's cheeks twitch slightly; how truly heartless this was.
Then let them go; they would talk about the road later.
Hmm.
After tidying up Yi Dong's courtyard, Ye You closed the gate behind her and walked towards the carriage hired by Gu Ping, who was already waiting inside for her.
"Why not use the Flying Ship?"
"It would expose us."
"But we could just fly away directly. Why endure the bumps in that broken vehicle?"
"Of course, we can't give certain people the chance to Move Against us."
Holding the slightly plump Yoyo in his arms, Gu Ping suddenly felt that the car seemed to be a laborious burden. If he had known it would end up like this, why had he fought so hard for cultivation? Wouldn't it have been better to live honestly as an official and enjoy a peaceful life? Why put his life on the line as bait to lure the Demonic Cultivator?
