Chapter 489 Love at First Sight
“Sister Dongxing, um…um…” Wu Li was nervous and conflicted, and could not even speak properly.
Xia Yue smiled and reassured her, "It's alright, tell me slowly. Is it because you can't find the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum?"
"No, that's not it. I... I haven't been to the medicine warehouse yet."
"Oh, what is it?" Xia Yue continued to ask.
Wu Li finally couldn't hold back any longer. He took a deep breath and mustered his courage to ask loudly, "Sister Dongxing! I want to ask you if you have someone you like!!!"
The sound was so loud that it almost shattered Xia Yue's eardrums.
Why is this idiot making such a loud noise when he's talking? Anyone who didn't know better would think he's interrogating a criminal.
Despite having a lot of complaints in her mind, Xia Yue maintained a smiling expression on the surface and said gently, "Not for the time being."
Upon hearing this answer, Wu Li's smile instantly lit up; he was even happier than the day he became the Junior Sacrificial Officer.
He feared that this time he might be unrequited again, so he wanted to find out first whether the other person had someone else in mind.
He will only continue pursuing it if he doesn't find it.
"So what type do you like?" Wu Li asked excitedly.
"Male, alive." Xia Yue replied dismissively, wanting the man to leave as soon as possible.
"Huh?" Wu Li clearly didn't believe Xia Yue's words.
"Ahem—" Xia Yue adjusted her expression and could only casually say a type, "I like cheerful, generous, sunny and lively types."
"Really? My friends often say I'm cheerful, generous, sunny, and lively." Wu Li immediately flattered himself.
My father said that to pursue a girl, you have to be a little thick-skinned.
He didn't listen before, which led to Qu Wanwan being snatched away, and he's still clinging to it.
Now that he has finally found a suitable one, he must display all his advantages like a peacock spreading its tail feathers, making the other person dizzy with enchantment and unable to live without him!
"Besides, I not only have a good personality, but I'm also tall, rich, and good-looking. Would you like to consider me?" Wu Li continued his advances.
Xia Yue could only feign ignorance, "What are you considering?"
"Be your boyfriend!" Wu Li gave Xia Yue no chance to escape.
Although Xia Yue wanted to save her mother, she had her limits, especially since this man was the true Junior Priest, the priest's only son.
If I really toy with the other person's feelings, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave the Witch Kingdom easily.
She dared not agree to anything rashly.
"Friend, we've only just met. Isn't it a bit too early for you to say these things? I'm getting scared by what you're saying." Xia Yue subtly showed her vulnerability.
Wu Li thought about it again and realized that he might have indeed been a bit too rash.
"I'm sorry, Dongxing, I was too hasty, but please consider me seriously. I fell in love with you at first sight!"
After saying that, Wu Li turned and ran away.
He didn't want to hear the other party say anything more about refusing.
Since I didn't hear it, I'll just pretend I didn't hear it.
Hehe, he has finally met his soulmate, and he has to tell Wanwan the good news.
He made up his mind. From now on, Qu Wanwan would only be his childhood sweetheart, good friend, and good sister. He would no longer cause her any trouble in love.
On the contrary, he needs to ask Qu Wanwan for help with his current relationship troubles, since Qu Wanwan is also a girl.
Only girls understand girls. If you want to win over Dongxing, you can't rely on the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum alone.
Wu Li hummed a little tune as he went to ask Qu Wanwan for advice.
When Qu Wanwan saw Wu Li arrive again, she became a little impatient.
Seeing Wu Li's beaming face, as if he had won the lottery, she couldn't bear to spoil his mood.
"Tell me, what do you want from me again?" Qu Wanwan tried her best to control her temper.
Wu Li spoke frankly, "I need your help!"
"Help? Is there anything in this world that you, the Junior Priest of the Divine Palace, can't do?" Qu Wanwan raised an eyebrow.
Wu Li said, a little shy but also excited, "Little sister Wanwan, oh no, I'll call you sister, from now on you're my sister! I can't find anyone else to help with this right now, so you're the most suitable person to ask! You absolutely have to help me!"
"Tell me, what is it?" Qu Wanwan's intuition told her that it couldn't be anything good.
Wu Li chuckled and said directly, "I just met my soulmate! I fell in love with her at first sight! I even invited her into the Divine Palace and confessed my feelings, but she politely declined. Can you help me pursue her? After all, you girls understand girls better."
"Huh? What did you say?" Qu Wanwan frowned, thinking she was hallucinating.
Wu Li was very patient and repeated it again.
Now, Qu Wanwan was certain that she hadn't made a mistake.
Her childhood sweetheart is in love again!
And this time, it's probably a trap.
Throughout the entire Witch Kingdom, everyone knows the status of the Divine Palace. The fact that Wu Li could so easily bring the other party into the Divine Palace shows that he is no ordinary person.
The reason the other party refused was simply because they were playing the "wait and see" game.
Even if you catch a big fish in one go, you'll get tired of it quickly.
Only fish that are carefully caught with time and effort are truly interesting, and you might even be reluctant to kill them, instead displaying them as trophies in the bathtub.
Qu Wanwan was certain that Wu Li had been set up.
But this kid is so engrossed now that if she tells the truth, Wu Li will only think she's ruining his happiness.
Wu Li has to step into this pit himself; only by stumbling and falling will he learn his lesson.
Although Qu Wanwan doesn't like Wu Li, she still considers him a good friend and won't accept her friend being taken advantage of!
After thinking for a moment, Qu Wanwan said directly, "If you just tell me like this, I won't understand what kind of person your sweetheart is. How about this, you take me to meet her, and I'll devise a strategy for you to pursue her."
"Great! It's so boring that you lock yourself in the courtyard every day. Let me take you out for a walk! Little sister Dongxing has just arrived at the shrine. If she can meet girls her own age, she'll be more willing to stay!"
Ah, I'm suddenly so looking forward to the future! I really want to be with Dongxing every day!
Wu Li looked on with longing.
Qu Wanwan couldn't help but touch Wu Li's head; his temperature was normal.
They then checked Wu Li's pulse to see if he had been poisoned.
"You don't have a fever, and you're not under the influence of any curses, so how did you suddenly become like this? Sure enough, you men change your minds faster than you change your faces. This morning you said you liked me." Qu Wanwan couldn't help but tease.
Perhaps Wu Li no longer liked her, because she felt less pressured and spoke more naturally in front of him.
Wu Li simply smiled and explained, "This is called true love, you wouldn't understand."
Qu Wanwan rolled her eyes, too lazy to say anything more.
However, she did leave with Wu Li, determined to meet the woman who dared to set a trap for the Junior Priest of the Wu Kingdom.
They're quite bold, and not afraid of getting into trouble.
With this in mind, Qu Wanwan met the other party.
Then--
She was stunned!
