The two calmly haggled over the price, one collecting the money and the other taking the blood-red figurine, but even with their excellent teamwork, they were still too busy to stop.
"I'm so happy, it's finally sold out!"
The two sat down to rest near the inheritance point, and Bu Yao leaned on Jiang Yuan's shoulder, panting from exhaustion.
"Are you tired?" Jiang Yuan tilted his head and bumped Bu Yao's head.
"I'm not tired at all, I'm so happy!"
Bu Yao even pushed her little head back, and the two of them played around and had a great time.
"It's good that you're not tired. Otherwise, we'll have to go to the Holy Spirit Ancestral Land next, and I don't want to carry you all the way!" Jiang Yuan joked.
Bu Yao suddenly turned around and looked at Jiang Yuan, blinking as she asked, "Do you think dating is like this?"
Jiang Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "Probably!"
"Hehehe!"
Bu Yao laughed so hard she almost fell over, and said smugly, "So you were still stubbornly insisting you weren't jealous?"
Jiang Yuan sat up straight and said, "Then I also have a question to ask you!"
"Go ahead and ask!" Bu Yao prepared to answer.
"Why didn't you come to me when you found out you were pregnant?" Jiang Yuan had always been curious about this question, but he never had the chance to ask Bu Yao.
“I…” Bu Yao was speechless for a moment, and all the answers she had prepared in her mind became useless.
"It's nothing, we're just chatting!" Jiang Yuan said.
"Actually, I did think about looking for you, but Nancheng was chosen as the sacrificial city, and you were chosen as the battle spirit. I didn't want you to die with such a small regret!"
After Bu Yao finished speaking, her eyes darted around, and she changed to a lighter topic, saying, "Besides, with so many women around you, I don't want to go looking for trouble!"
Revisiting the past in Nancheng, Jiang Yuan was clearly still troubled, but he didn't want to burden Bu Yao with his sorrow, so he said, "I thought you still remembered what we said when we parted at the Holy Coffin!"
"What did you say?" Bu Yao had forgotten it herself after so many years.
"You said you'd go to Nancheng again to collect my corpse!" Jiang Yuan looked at Bu Yao with a deep gaze. This girl's mouth was practically blessed; it had all come true.
"I……"
Bu Yao's expression froze instantly, because she herself had forgotten what she had said. When she came out of the Holy Coffin, her mind was already a mess, and whatever she said was just random ramblings.
"By the way, you have a lover in Ancheng, what do you plan to do about it?" Bu Yao asked, observing Jiang Yuan's changing expression.
Jiang Yuan's expression changed, but he quickly regained his composure. "Is it Liu Zhaodi?"
Bu Yao nodded.
"She should be married and have children by now!" Jiang Yuan said wistfully. Although the past five years had been extremely long for him, any emotion would be amplified during the lonely wait, and Liu Zhaodi was clearly one of them.
Back then, in order to force Liu Zhaodi to leave Nancheng, he had already made very harsh statements and even used the method of killing her to send her out of the city. Presumably, she had already given up on him by then, not to mention that after five years apart, their feelings had long since disappeared.
“No, she founded the Chaoyuan Chamber of Commerce in Ancheng, and she is also the chief alchemist in China. Her power and prestige are not weak in the entire Eastern Emperor Star!” Bu Yao stared at Jiang Yuan with every word she spoke. She could tell from Jiang Yuan’s expression that Liu Zhaodi played an extremely important role in Jiang Yuan’s heart.
"It shouldn't concern me anymore, the old Jiang Yuan is dead!" Jiang Yuan said dismissively with his eyes closed.
"Do you know why it's called the Chaoyuan Chamber of Commerce? It's waiting for you, waiting to see you one day, Jiang Yuan!" Bu Yao didn't mean to push Jiang Yuan away, but she knew in her heart that Jiang Yuan was a human and would one day return to the human world, and Liu Zhaodi was the only person he could rely on in the human world.
Jiang Yuan suddenly realized he was being questioned in a passive position, so he directly pushed the question back, saying, "You keep pushing me toward Liu Zhaodi, don't you really mind if I go to her?"
Bu Yao fell silent, because she hadn't expected Jiang Yuan to ask that question.
"However, I see that many people in your Holy Spirit Clan practice polygamy. Are you really not bothered by that?" Jiang Yuan turned the tables and left Bu Yao speechless.
"You dare!"
Bu Yao couldn't help but feel indignant. "I was just mentioning it casually. Who told you I didn't mind!"
"I mind it very much!"
Bu Yao was afraid that Jiang Yuan wouldn't believe her, so she added a sentence after she finished speaking.
However, polygamy was very common during times of war because so many men died in battle that this phenomenon was inevitable in order to ensure the continuation of the race. Leaving aside the warlike races of the Holy Spirit and the Demon Spirit, even the Imperial Star, which had only experienced five years of warfare, began to show signs of polygamy. After all, since the onset of the war, the number of male casualties far exceeded that of females.
Hearing Bu Yao say this, Jiang Yuan began to coax her to stop talking about polygamy and instead focus on the plan to enter the Holy Spirit Ancestral Land.
