"Ayan, I'm sorry, I can ask you for help with finding the Cloud Shuttle, but I can't give you the Cloud Shuttle."
"What did you say?" Ci Yan was somewhat incredulous. With the Cloud Shuttle in his hands, wouldn't it be easier for them to be together?
Ci Yan was indeed not interested in the Cloud Shuttle; if he wanted to do something, he wouldn't need it at all. However, he knew that if the Cloud Shuttle were used as a bargaining chip, the Immortal Clan would almost certainly agree.
“Ayan, it’s not that I don’t trust you. I’ve said I love you, even to the point of becoming a demon, but I can’t give you the Cloud Shuttle. This shouldn’t be the case.” Some principles should still be upheld.
Moreover, Wan Ge was quite certain that the Immortal Clan would agree, even without the Cloud Shuttle as a bargaining chip.
"I understand." Seeing her insistence, Ci Yan ultimately did not refuse.
He just... couldn't refuse Wan Ge. At worst, if Sister Tian disagreed, he could just eliminate her.
…
For the next month, Ci Yan stayed by Wan Ge's side, searching for the trail of the Cloud Shuttle while traveling across the vast land of the human world.
It was evening again, and Wan Ge sat on the tree leaning against Ci Yan, already asleep with her eyes closed.
Ci Yan looked at the bright moon through the fluttering peach blossoms. In fact, he had sensed the aura of the cloud shuttle half a month ago. However, he did not tell Wan Ge, but slowly led her in that direction.
Because he suddenly realized that this way of life was quite nice. They walked together through the world during the day, and at night they used the sky as their blanket and the earth as their bed, resting whenever they wanted.
Moreover, there were only the two of them; the others were just passing through, and they couldn't even remember what they looked like after thinking back.
Ci Yan had never lived such a life before, so carefree and without any worries, with only the people who were right beside him.
But as they drew closer to the Cloud Shuttle, he knew their journey was coming to an end. But it didn't matter; they would have much longer times afterward, and could be together forever.
Thinking of this, Ci Yan smiled again, his fingertips tracing the face of Wan Ge, who was sleeping against him. Aside from that one time when he suddenly realized he liked her and lost control of his emotions, he had never lost control again.
Wan Ge was his salvation. He felt inexplicably at ease by her side, and his heart was no longer filled with the same restless and agitated feeling. He even forgot that he was a person who could lose control.
He had considered this issue at first, and hesitated because he thought that losing control would hurt her. But later he realized that he could only stay in control when she was by his side. She was his light, so it was best to keep her by his side.
…
…
As soon as Wan Ge entered the town, he sensed the presence of the Cloud Shuttle, and the compass he was holding also reacted. He looked up at Ci Yan, who was leading him in this direction: "A Yan, did you already know that the Cloud Shuttle was here?"
Because she trusted him, Wan Ge listened when he told her that he felt things were going in this direction.
He must have known that the Cloud Shuttle was in this area at that time. Even if he didn't know the exact location, he must have known that it was nearby, otherwise he wouldn't have brought him here.
He knew it, but he still took me sightseeing for half a month. Did he like this feeling?
Ci Yan readily admitted it, and had already prepared himself for Wan Ge's anger.
Unexpectedly, Wan Ge said, "You like being in the human world? Then we can stay a little longer."
