He Yuwei never expected that her joke would be taken seriously by this person.
The man in front of her had clearly gotten a great deal, yet he was putting on a pitiful act, as if he had been abandoned.
She was displeased and spoke bluntly: "You flatter me, it was just a joke, why did you take it so seriously?"
Zheng Kaiyuan looked embarrassed: "But, but you and I..."
He Yuwei burst into laughter for no apparent reason:
"Hahaha, what the immortal is trying to say is, since I slept with you, I'm no longer a virgin, so I have no choice but to marry you. Sigh, you people here are really boring. Just because of one unavoidable mistake, you tie yourself to another person for life, how pathetic!"
After saying that, He Yuwei left without even looking back, leaving Zheng Kaiyuan alone on the spot.
She's the one who says a promise is a promise, and she's also the one who makes jokes.
Zheng Kaiyuan will never understand He Yuwei's thoughts.
His senses had just begun to awaken when they were cruelly shut down.
From then on, they disappeared from the martial arts world.
Until a few months ago, at Yueyun Mountain Villa, Zheng Kaiyuan saw those exact same eyes again.
The child resembled her, yet not entirely.
He Yuwei's eyes were full of innocence and naivety. She was bright, passionate, and carefree, as if she didn't care about anything in this world.
The child's eyes were full of worldly wisdom; he was calm, self-possessed, humble, and polite, and would compromise for the greater good even when he didn't want to do something.
He looks like He Yuwei, but his personality is not like hers.
The original novel did not provide any explanation for the background of He Yuwei, this extraordinary woman.
How did she give birth to the male protagonist, why did she abandon him, and where did she go afterward?
There are no answers to anything about her.
Even when Zheng Nansheng finally ascended to the position of Immortal Venerable, he did not try to find out He Yuwei's whereabouts.
She said to Zheng Kaiyuan, "You people here," as if she didn't belong here.
Since her heart doesn't like these constraints, it's better to let her be free.
Moonset over Crow's Cry Valley
Ye Wan frowned, her brows furrowed, her entire face covered in large beads of sweat, and white smoke was rising from her head.
She was stuck at a crucial moment in her advancement, unable to move forward or backward.
It has been a full ten days.
If we don't make a breakthrough soon, we'll be in big trouble.
Generally speaking, the simpler a person's mind is, the easier it is for them to advance in their career.
A simple-minded psychopath like Ye Wan shouldn't encounter a bottleneck at such a low level.
But she just happened to run into it.
Ye Wan coughed up a mouthful of blood, feeling empty and extremely uncomfortable inside.
I've never felt this bad since I started practicing.
She herself didn't understand what was going on.
Until Chu Yiming came to see her carrying a food box.
Ye Wan: So you were hungry.
After wolfing down her food, she felt refreshed and invigorated.
Not hungry, but full of ideas.
Ye Wan found that memorizing the last part of the mental cultivation technique wasn't so difficult, and her mind became much clearer.
Isn't it enough to just have a brain?
Chu Yiming's expression turned serious when he saw blood at the corner of Ye Wan's mouth.
The earlier the bottleneck appears, the worse the candidate's qualifications are, and the more difficult it will be to advance in the future.
Junior sister has encountered this so early, what will happen to her cultivation in the future?
After much deliberation, Chu Yiming decided to give Ye Wan a top-grade spiritual fruit that he had found a few days ago.
He originally intended to use this when breaking through to the fifth-order Devouring stage, but now he should prioritize his junior sister.
"Junior sister, this is what your senior brother brought back from outside the valley a few days ago. It's very sweet. Try it."
Without a second thought, Ye Wan grabbed it and popped it into her mouth, her cheeks bulging. "Thank you, senior brother."
Ye Wan was quite happy at first, but she chewed the fruit in her mouth more and more slowly. At one point, she even glanced at Chu Yiming guiltily, as if she hadn't chewed it properly before swallowing the fruit raw.
Seeing her clutching her neck as she shoved the medicine down, Chu Yiming said anxiously, "Slow down, don't choke."
"Senior brother..." Ye Wan hesitated, "This fruit doesn't taste good."
Chu Yiming: ...
Seeing that Chu Yiming was about to break apart, Ye Wan quickly tried to salvage the situation:
"Although it doesn't taste good, the thought that my senior brother specially brought it for me makes Wanwan feel sweeter than honey."
Chu Yiming came to his senses and felt that his junior sister was so sensible that it broke his heart.
From now on, if anyone calls his junior sister an idiot, he'll turn on them.
Except for the master.
Chu Yiming patted Ye Wan's head, his tone quite affectionate:
"It's alright, I'll definitely bring you some delicious fruit next time. Be patient in your cultivation, don't rush things, lest you lose more than you gain. No matter what your cultivation level is, no one will dare to bully you, I will always protect you."
Chu Yiming left with the food box.
Ye Wan stared blankly at his retreating figure.
In the original story, this affectionate senior brother was so distraught upon learning of her death that he lost his mind.
Having lost his mind, he wandered around, killing anyone he saw, until the male protagonist Zheng Nansheng, together with other immortal cultivators, reduced him to ashes.
Their bones were crushed to ashes, their souls scattered and their spirits dispersed.
Never again to enter the cycle of reincarnation.
Chu Yiming doesn't even have the chance to reincarnate, so how can he talk about protecting Ye Wan forever?
Ye Wan felt her face was cold, and when she touched it, it was covered in water.
Where is the water coming from? The roof isn't leaking. Is it coming from someone's eyes?
That's good. Now that the water in her brain has drained, she might become smarter.
As she became smarter, she was able to figure out why the water in her brain flowed from her eyes instead of her mouth.
Having figured it out, Ye Wan sat cross-legged and continued her cultivation.
Huh?
They actually broke through?
