"Not bad, it took a total of six hours and thirty-two minutes. You're a solid construction worker!" Jiang Yuan praised, giving a thumbs up.
Bu Yao, who thought she could tolerate it, overestimated herself. She couldn't stand Jiang Yuan, that bastard.
"Heh, I quit!" Bu Yao angrily shook the dirt off her hair, glanced at Jiang Yuan, and then left in a huff.
"Running away with your buckets so quickly? What, don't you want the Dark Forest anymore?"
Jiang Yuan remained calm and collected, knowing that Bu Yao wouldn't give up the leverage he held over her.
Bu Yao continued walking, and Jiang Yuan didn't stop her at all, just silently counting in his mind.
"three!"
"two!"
"one!"
After counting to three and walking less than the distance of the Seven Step Poem, Bu Yao stopped.
"Tsk tsk, why aren't you leaving?" Jiang Yuan asked knowingly.
"Hmph!" Bu Yao gritted her teeth in anger, but still said through gritted teeth, "This young lady has no habit of giving up halfway, and keeping promises is my life motto."
"It's alright, I won't hold your breach of contract against you!" Jiang Yuan smiled brightly.
"Fine, I've done half of what I did, so you give me half of the Dark Forest!" Bu Yao said fiercely, trying to intimidate the bastard in front of her.
"What do you mean half? Have you been here for half a month, or have you served me well enough? You dare to ask for half so readily. I never knew you, Bu Yao, had such a big appetite!" Jiang Yuan teased.
"If you can't produce it, then shut up!"
Bu Yao kicked Jiang Yuan hard in the knee, emphasizing her complaint: "Besides, you didn't know I have a big appetite. You've never cooked for me at home!"
"..."
Jiang Yuan was taken aback, but then he hugged his legs and wailed, "No, don't try to play the emotional card with me! I won't give you the Dark Forest until this month is up!"
"Hehe, I think you're just hopping on one foot and not very coordinated!"
Bu Yao decided to offend everyone, so she kicked Jiang Yuan's other leg that wasn't crippled, and an even more intense wail came from Jiang Yuan's mouth.
Five minutes later, Jiang Yuan, feeling utterly hopeless, sat in front of the pit dug by Bu Yao and contemplated life. He even began to wonder if he was making things difficult for Bu Yao or for himself. Hiring this girl as a maid was simply asking for trouble.
"Don't play dead! Your leg isn't broken, so I'm not going to pay for it!" Bu Yao said guiltily from the side.
"Your leg isn't broken?" Jiang Yuan's eyes were filled with fear. This woman probably didn't know that he had no power at all.
"Hurry up, I've already dug the hole for you. If you don't give me the Dark Forest, I'll just push you in and bury you. You're just good at bullying me anyway!" Bu Yao's tone was still very firm.
"The saying 'the most poisonous heart is a woman's' is absolutely true!"
Jiang Yuan turned to look at Bu Yao, but before she could refute him, he grabbed Bu Yao's hand and pulled her into the deep pit. His action also pulled Bu Yao along with him.
Having learned her lesson, Bu Yao was too embarrassed to torment Jiang Yuan again. Given his current frail body, she was afraid that she would break this 'useless' man apart if she moved him even slightly.
"Hold on tight, or I'll fall to my death and you won't get that thing!" Jiang Yuan was not afraid at all. Even if Bu Yao didn't save him, he wouldn't be in any danger on his own turf.
"Hmph, I'm only hugging you because of the Dark Forest!"
Although Bu Yao said that, her practiced movements were heartbreaking. She had taken care of Jiang Yuan for five years, and she had repeated this action countless times.
Looking at the woman nestled close to him, Jiang Yuan suddenly asked from the bottom of his heart, "Bu Yao, did you distance yourself from me because of external pressure?"
“You’re overthinking it!” Bu Yao looked up at Jiang Yuan, but her eyes darted away as she continued, “To me, you’re just a stranger who entered my life, entered, and then left, nothing more.”
"Really?" Jiang Yuan asked, still not believing it.
"yes!"
Bu Yao nodded solemnly. She steeled her resolve and said fiercely, "Actually, whether it's you, Jiang Yuan, Zhao Yuan, or Li Yuan, no matter who you're with, the outcome will be the same."
After saying this, Bu Yao hesitated for a moment, while Jiang Yuan seemed to have lost his soul.
"So, please let me go. We're over! Go after Liu Zhaodi, who loves you, and An Xiaoyu, who loves you. They are the ones who..."
Before he could finish speaking, a warm touch sealed his lips. Both were silent, yet there was no resistance. In the darkness, they quietly released their love, which was not understood.
The long kiss ended only when the two of them fell into the world's veins.
Bu Yao's gaze shifted from evasive to complete indifference. She dared not look Jiang Yuan in the eye again, fearing any emotional fluctuation.
Jiang Yuan, however, felt a greater sense of satisfaction from the revenge.
"You brat, respect life and death; that's your basic professional ethics!"
The tranquility between the two was shattered by a single sentence from the Myriad Realms Origin Dragon.
"Long time no see!" Jiang Yuan wasn't surprised at all. He turned around and greeted the darkness.
The Myriad Realms Origin Dragon can be considered the spirit of the World Vein. Jiang Yuan's Eternal Holy Body has a very special relationship with the Myriad Realms Origin Dragon. After all, the only person the Eternal Holy Body can confide in in this godforsaken place is the Myriad Realms Origin Dragon, and they have formed a deep friendship.
"You brat, you've got some nerve. Not only did you fake your death, but you've also brought a woman here with you. Aren't you afraid I'll kick you out?" The Myriad Realms Origin Dragon sized up Bu Yao. It had never seen this woman before, so it was naturally very curious about her identity.
"The World Pulse is also my home. If you want to drive me away, you'll have to see if I'm willing to leave!" Jiang Yuan was extremely calm. His control over the World Pulse was far superior to that of the Myriad Realms Origin Dragon.
