Raising the Villain for Those Years

Shangshen of Penglai, Shu Yun, accepts an old friend's request to protect their son through his tribulation and picks up a pitiful little apprentice along the way.

Unexpectedly, after she...

Chapter Thirty-Nine

After the meeting, Pei Ju's gaze swept over the immortals, and after finding the target he was looking for, he stepped forward and said, "Lord Si Ming, please wait."

Si Ming and Bei Xingxiu stood together. He turned around and saw Pei Ju, and was somewhat surprised. "Immortal Pei Ju, is there something you need?"

The thought of that person stirred a restlessness in Pei Ju's usually calm heart. He carefully chose his words and spoke gently, "Star Lord, are you going to find Shu Yun... the High God?"

Si Ming nodded, pulling the hot-tempered Bei Xingxiu by the hand. "Not bad."

"Would it be possible for Pei Ju to accompany us?"

Bei Xingxiu glared at him angrily, and Si Ming was also in a difficult position, "This..."

Suddenly, the white crane beside Pei Ju stepped forward and grabbed Si Ming's sleeve with its beak, pulling hard. It was originally a little spirit that followed Shu Yun, and it was only because of the grace of the gods that it was fortunate enough to come to this Ninth Heaven.

Bei Xingxiu had long disliked him, and seeing that even after so much time had passed, this person was still determined to get close to the goddess, he angrily shouted, "The goddess doesn't want to see you, so you'd better stay away from our goddess Shuyun, or you'll upset her."

Of course she didn't want to see him, after all, he had stolen and occupied her things for so long...

Pei Ju frowned and said in a low voice, "I don't want to regain my relationship with the Goddess, but there is something that is of utmost importance to her, and I must return it to her personally."

Bei Xingxiu stretched out his hand, "Give it to me and I'll give it to the High God for you. You don't need to go."

Si Ming remained silent, knowing full well that the god did not wish to see the person before him.

Pei Ju shook his head, "This item must be returned to the High God in person. This item is..."

The Northern Star and the Fate Master in front of him stared in astonishment, never expecting that the High God would give him all of this.

The person at the entrance was tall and slender, with an inexplicable gentleness always lingering in his eyes. His white robe was spotless, and his overall demeanor drew the attention of everyone on the street.

Who else could this person be but Pei Ju?

Shu Yun's expression turned cold. "What are you doing here?"

Her change in attitude was so obvious that it was hard for him not to notice.

Pei Ju's hands, which were hanging in his long sleeves, clenched up, and he didn't know what to feel. "I have cultivated to the body of an immortal, and I have come to return my heart to you."

"Oh." Shu Yun paused for a moment, then turned and walked into the house. "Come inside with me first, don't talk in the street."

Pei Ju followed her in as instructed, his robe sleeves fluttering, his demeanor composed. The servants and maids in the house couldn't help but steal glances at him.

They originally thought that meeting people like Miss Wan Yang and Mr. Jiang Yan in this world was the limit, but they never expected to encounter another god-like person today.

The maids' gazes lingered on Pei Ju's handsome and gentle face. They wondered what the relationship was between this dashing young man and Miss Wan Yang.

Originally, after hearing that he had become an immortal, she planned to personally retrieve her heart, but after he came by himself, she hesitated.

"Are you sure you want to give it back to me now?" Shu Yun found a rain-viewing pavilion nearby, which Jiang Yan had decorated comfortably according to her preferences. "After you cultivate into a god-like body, taking your heart will cause you less harm."

She's still the same; even if she looks cold, she's still soft-hearted.

Pei Ju smiled and said in a gentle voice, "It's alright, you'll just be weak for a while, you'll just need to rest."

Feeling uncomfortable under the gaze of those gentle, smiling eyes, Shu Yun turned her head away. "Let's talk about it tomorrow. I'll ask Nanpu to send some pills down first."

Being alone with Pei Ju always made her feel strange and uncomfortable, so she got up to leave. "You can stay here for one night. Just pick any room you like."

She didn't want to be alone with herself.

Pei Ju watched her departing figure, unable to hide his disappointment.

But what can be done? It's his own fault.
