Heaven
Ya Zi had finished his conversation with Jun Moyu and now knew why Yue Jiuling had a divided soul and why she had been hunted by the Heavenly Realm before. He shook the wine jug in his hand and asked his friend beside him, "Um, well, friend, I want to ask you something."
Jun Moyu tilted his head back and finished the last of the wine in the wine jug in his hand, then said, "Ask away."
"Hmm, I just wanted to ask my friend, you've been working in the Heavenly Realm for so long, have you ever... ever had a crush on anyone?"
"Who have you liked?" Jun Moyu was a little stunned when asked this question, because he originally thought that Ya Zi would ask about work or other things, but he did not expect him to ask him this kind of question.
Jun Moyu suddenly became a little embarrassed, and he stammered, "Second Young Master, why did you suddenly ask this question?"
Seeing Jun Moyu's expression, Ya Zi guessed that something was wrong, and continued to ask, "Friend, is there someone you like? Just say it, we're so familiar with each other, what's there to be embarrassed about?"
Upon hearing this, Jun Moyu said helplessly, "Well, actually, even though I am an immortal lord, I am not immune to the seven emotions and six desires of this world. In fact, a hundred years ago, I did have someone I really liked."
"And now? How are you two doing? The Heavenly Realm now allows us to find celestial partners, it's not as strict as before, so why aren't you together yet?"
Ya Zi asked Jun Moyu with a gossipy look on his face. Jun Moyu smiled at his gossipy expression and nodded with a wry smile, saying, "Yes, the Heavenly Realm has indeed become much more open now, but she and I are destined to be apart, so we can't be together."
"Why?" Ya Zi asked, puzzled.
Jun Moyu said, "Because the person she likes in her heart is not me, but someone else."
He tilted his head back and said in a recollection, "I remember when I went to find her that day, she was leaning against a god's arms. Her smile was one of happiness. When I saw that, I knew I had no chance. Sure enough, not long after, I received a wedding invitation. She was going to marry a god from the divine realm."
Ya Zi listened quietly to a sad piece of gossip, and said apologetically, "Sorry, my friend, I reminded you of this unpleasant memory. But we really can't compete with the gods in the divine realm unless we can improve our cultivation."
Jun Moyu said, "Yes, I know that. I never thought about trying to take her away. As long as she is happy, that's all that matters."
"Um, by the way, I just wanted to ask, what does it feel like to like someone?"
After considering it for a moment, Ya Zi finally asked for advice, albeit hesitantly.
Jun Moyu looked at Ya Zi with some surprise. He seemed to have guessed something as well. He said, "Heh~ Well, I don't really know how to put it. In my experience, if you really like someone, you'll miss them often, want to share good things with them, want to be the first to protect them when they're in danger, don't like seeing them sad, don't want to see them heartbroken, and don't want them to be unhappy. You just want to be with them every day. As long as they smile at me, I feel like nothing else matters, and it's all worth it."
Ya Zi listened intently to Jun Moyu's words, becoming increasingly alarmed. He felt as if he understood something, yet also as if he understood nothing at all. He said, "It turns out that liking someone is so simple, but at the same time, I find it a bit troublesome."
Jun Moyu looked at Ya Zi and said, "Yes, so my friend, do you have someone you like?"
Ya Zi hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, I don't know if I really like her. I just sometimes miss her and want to share my food with her, but sometimes I also like to tease her..."
"Oh, is that so? My friend, you may not understand what others are saying about this, but I suggest you follow your own ideas and do whatever you want without any doubts or concerns."
Ya Zi nodded and said, "Yes, I understand."
Human Realm
The three foodies, carrying bags and bags of snacks, finally returned to their building, exhausted. Yue Jiu Nian, holding a pile of snacks and drinks, said, "Ugh, you guys are so annoying! Of all things to buy, you had to buy so many drinks. Luckily, our building has an elevator, or I would have been dead tired."
Yue Jiuyue was also carrying a lot of things, including a large box of cola. She said breathlessly, "Sigh, if I could drink all of them, I wouldn't have to carry them up here."
Upon hearing this, Yue Jiu Nian immediately rolled her eyes and said, "Aren't you afraid of drinking yourself to death?"
"I'm so tired. By the way, Jiu Nian, why won't you let us use our spiritual power? Moving things like this is really tiring."
Yue Jiuxing, carrying a large box of milk and juice, said weakly, looking exhausted.
Yue Jiu snorted and coaxed them, saying, "Hmph~ It's for your own good that I don't let you use your spiritual power. In this human realm where spiritual energy is scarce, I think we should try not to use too much spiritual power and save it to find other people. In a while, when Jiu Ling has time, we will go out to find people."
"Oh, okay."
Actually, Yue Jiunian was just lying to them about saving spiritual energy, because she wanted to punish these two idiots. However, even moving things without using spiritual energy was tiring for Yue Jiunian herself.
So she secretly used her spiritual power behind Yue Jiuxing's back. Yue Jiuxing and Yue Jiuyue, unaware of Yue Jiunian's wicked intentions, obediently carried the things back using their own strength.
