Chapter 95 Should I Agree?
Should I agree to become Daoist partners?
While Xiao Shuying gave him a day to think, Su Yunyu lay on the bed like a corpse, his gaze wandering in the air.
Xiao Shuying didn't reveal how he died, leaving Su Yunyu with endless speculation.
He ignored the momentary shock he felt upon hearing of the death and annihilation of his soul, burying himself in the two choices given to him: whether to agree to the conditions and complete the mission, or to remain entangled in this forever.
It's obvious that the former is more tempting.
But why am I in such a terrible mood that I don't want to look at any of the options and just want to drift through the days in a daze?
[Host, if you ask me, just agree to Long Aotian's request. We've got no other way out anyway.]
Bored, 111 started tossing sunflower seed shells around in its sea of consciousness. The host was lying dead, and so was it. The two of them, one human and one system, inexplicably became depressed.
"..."
Su Yunyu continued to stare at the ceiling, her gaze unfocused.
111 pouted, losing all fighting spirit, and started throwing sunflower seed shells again. After a while, Xiao Shuying walked in, lifted the hanging bed curtains, and when she saw Su Yunyu lying listlessly in the quilt, she couldn't help but chuckle:
Why does Master look unhappy?
Su Yunyu looked up and, after a few breaths, said:
"I agree to make a deal with you. After we become Daoist partners, you will die."
Xiao Shuying paused, his hand still holding the bed curtains. A few moments later, he bent down and climbed onto the bed, took off his shoes, and hugged Su Yunyu, whispering to him:
"Master, have you really made up your mind?"
The flickering candlelight illuminated the deep thoughts and hidden schemes in his eyes. Su Yunyu remained oblivious, appearing preoccupied, as Xiao Shuying held her, nodding in agreement.
"I've thought it through. I'm not from this world, and I'll eventually have to go back. If you're willing to help me complete the mission, that would be the best outcome."
"Since that's the case..." Xiao Shuying smiled, lowered the bed curtains to block out the candlelight by the bedside, and then affectionately stroked Su Yunyu's neck, saying:
"We will become Daoist partners tomorrow."
He kissed Su Yunyu's skin, his breath hot, making Su Yunyu's hair disheveled. The bed curtains were heavily draped, and waves of red rose up. This time, even the moonlight was not very clear, and everywhere was filled with a secret and hazy ambiguity.
"That's enough..."
Just as her collar was about to be unbuttoned, Su Yunyu weakly placed her hand on Xiao Shuying's wrist, her eyes misty and her tone lacking in assertiveness:
"I don't want this to happen."
Since their intimate encounter last night, Long Aotian has been kissing, touching, hugging, and cuddling him all the time. It's too intimate for him to handle.
Xiao Shuying's eyes darkened for a moment. He gripped Su Yunyu's wrist and said with a smile:
"My master promised to become my Daoist partner, but he won't even give me a wedding night. Isn't that a lack of sincerity?"
As he spoke, he breathed into Su Yunyu's ear, his tone gentle and affectionate, as if the two of them were the most loving couple in the world.
"..."
Su Yunyu lowered his eyelashes. In the past, he would have been furious, but now he didn't have the strength. The deal made everything clear: as long as they became Daoist partners, they could be free.
But it was as if a chasm had sprung up in his heart, and he inexplicably sank deeper and deeper.
He shouldn't be here; he should be enjoying his life in his original world. But now he's forced into the world of the book, and he can no longer treat the characters as two-dimensional figures.
He had invested too much, and even after the mission was over, he didn't feel relieved. Thinking of this, Su Yunyu couldn't help but glare at Xiao Shuying with resentment.
He should hate him. If it weren't for him, he would still be living a carefree life in his original world, instead of being in this state of constant sorrow.
Xiao Shuying's heart softened at his resentful and brooding glare, and she leaned close to him, whispering, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"If you don't want to, then forget it," he leaned down and pecked Su Yunyu's lips, saying:
"Master, you need not think I am a lustful person."
He was too close, and Su Yunyu uncomfortably stepped back a few times, accidentally aggravating the wound on her back. She frowned, subconsciously holding her waist and secretly gasped for breath.
Xiao Shuying quickly reached out and wrapped her arms around his waist, massaging him gently as she spoke:
"It's my fault for being too rough last night and hurting Master. It's normal for him to be afraid of me now."
He no longer seemed to possess the ferocity he had shown when he broke his wrist and threatened to sever his Achilles tendon. It was as if all his emotions had become calm and profound since the physical and mental union last night.
Su Yunyu didn't realize anything was wrong, but being held like this by Xiao Shuying brought back memories of last night, making her cheeks flush with anger. She felt an even stronger dislike for him, and slapped the hand on her waist fiercely.
"It's all your fault!"
Not only was her back aching, but her chest also hurt, especially in that area. The more Su Yunyu thought about it, the angrier she became, a mixture of frustration and discontent, as she struggled to escape Xiao Shuying's control.
"Let me go!"
Xiao Shuying hugged him even tighter, gently kissing the corner of his eye, her voice soft:
"Alright, alright, it's all my fault. Master, don't be angry. In a while, you won't have to see me anymore."
"..."
Su Yunyu was stunned for a moment, wanting to ask what it meant, but then she thought, wasn't her goal to make Long Aotian perish and disappear? What was there to ask?
He stopped struggling, his mind in turmoil, and he didn't even hear what Xiao Shuying was trying to comfort him.
The candlelight grew even brighter. Xiao Shuying pulled Su Yunyu down to lie on her chest, nestled him against her chest, and kissed the ends of his hair, coaxing him gently.
"Master, please rest well. I won't bother you tonight."
"..."
Still silent, the candlelight crackled and burned. Listening to the sound of the lamp wick falling, Su Yunyu unknowingly fell asleep in that position.
In his hazy state, he flinched, and two hands tugged at the corner of the blanket, holding him tightly until the sun was high in the sky. Su Yunyu groggily opened his eyes, only to find that no one was beside him.
today……
Su Yunyu was still somewhat dazed when suddenly a chirping sound came, and a phoenix flew to the bedside, carrying a letter.
Unfolding the envelope, one finds Xiao Shuying's elegant calligraphy, the gist of which is: Today, a grand ceremony for Daoist couples will be held at the Tianxuan Sect. He has already gone to purchase wedding attire and other items and sent a congratulatory invitation to the Tianxuan Sect. If all goes well, Wenren Li will arrive soon.
etc……
Su Yunyu was stunned for a moment, reading the letter several times before she realized that Long Aotian's words about becoming Daoist partners today really meant today...
And what do you mean by saying Wenrenli will be here later!
Su Yunyu glanced at herself in a fluster. Although her clothes were neat and there were no obvious signs of intimacy unless she opened them, there was still a sense of lewdness about her.
No, she absolutely couldn't let Wenren Li see her like this. So Su Yunyu quickly tidied herself up. Just as she finished, quite coincidentally, hurried footsteps and calls came from outside:
"Junior brother, junior brother—"
Upon hearing the call of an acquaintance, Su Yunyu felt a mix of emotions, as if she had fallen into the trap of being a caged canary locked up by Long Aotian, never seeing the light of day again.
He got up and quickly went to open the door. Xiao Shuying had already removed the restrictions. The door creaked open and a lot of sunlight slanted in. There was another person in green robes who stopped and looked at him with a mixture of sadness and joy.
"Senior brother..."
Su Yunyu had just called out when Wenrenli rushed over, grabbed him, and her voice was a mixture of shock, anger, and sorrow:
"Junior brother, you are too heartless. You disappeared for so long, leaving only a letter telling me not to worry. Now that I have finally received news, you are going to become Daoist partners with your own disciple."
His tone was melancholic, like that of a worried old father. Su Yunyu smiled bitterly where he couldn't see him, thinking how strange it was. He insisted on treating the characters as mere scraps of paper in a book, yet some emotions could not be ignored.
"Senior brother," Su Yunyu patted Wenrenli's back to comfort him.
"It's my fault..."
Before he could finish speaking, Wenren released him, his gaze sharp and intense.
"You said in your letter that your cultivation level has regressed. What exactly happened?"
As she spoke, she raised her hand and pinched the meridians on Su Yunyu's wrist, and upon discovering that it was indeed so, a look of heartache appeared on her face:
"You once longed to ascend to heaven, so why are you facing such a fate now..."
Unexpectedly, the first thing Su Yunyu noticed wasn't her romantic relationship, but rather her physical health and cultivation level. Touched, she realized she wasn't the original owner of this body and her cultivation level wasn't important, so she interrupted him briefly.
"Senior brother, I don't plan to ascend."
"oh"
Su Yunyu remained expressionless and fabricated a reason that reassured Wenren Li while also making him somewhat uneasy:
"Because I am suffering from the backlash of the ruthless path, I am now doing it willingly."
"The Path of Ruthlessness"
Wenrenli was momentarily puzzled, but then he suddenly remembered the invitation sent to the Tianxuan Sect this morning, and he couldn't help but grit his teeth and suck blood as he said:
"You truly love your disciple so much that you're willing to suffer the backlash of the ruthless path, willing to bear the burden of an incestuous master-disciple relationship, just to become Daoist partners."
Actually, I don't like it, and I'm unwilling to.
But there's no point in telling Wenren the truth. There's no need to involve unrelated people in the turmoil because of my own love and hate, and the mission I'm carrying.
Moreover, if she told Wenren Li that she was forced, Wenren Li would have to fight desperately, but facing Long Aotian, the consequences were obvious. Therefore, for Wenren Li's sake, Su Yunyu nodded.
"That's true."
Wenrenli choked for a moment, staring at Su Yunyu with some puzzlement for a few seconds, wondering how his cold and aloof junior brother had suddenly become so enamored with her...
Just as he was about to speak, a voice interrupted:
"Now you should believe me, right, Uncle-Master?"
It was Xiao Shuying, still dressed in a dark black robe, but today the hem was trimmed with red patterns, and the flame mark between his brows was more intense and vibrant, as if he were celebrating the upcoming Daoist Couple's Ceremony. He walked to Su Yunyu's side, the two standing side by side, one in black and one in white, looking like a perfect couple, which made Wenren Li feel extremely uncomfortable.
"Ha, it's one thing for my junior brother to like you, but how could you like your own master?"
Xiao Shuying's expression was cold and her tone indifferent, but out of courtesy, she still maintained her polite demeanor.
"How can the word 'love' possibly explain itself?"
After he finished speaking, his gaze turned to Su Yunyu, softening instantly:
"The Daoist Couple Ceremony is tonight, Master, would you like to go in and rest for a while?"
"..."
Su Yunyu looked at the swaying red hem of his clothes and thought about the upcoming wedding night. She didn't know whether to fear the celebration or the demise after the celebration, but she felt disgusted for a moment, so disgusted that she felt nauseous and subconsciously covered her chest and dry heaved.
He didn't want to embarrass himself in front of others again, so he immediately pushed Xiao Shuying away and ran back to his room. He leaned against the wall with one hand and clutched his chest with the other, still feeling waves of nausea.
Strange, what exactly happened?
Her eyes welled up with tears from gagging, and as she closed them, several large drops of water dripped down her cheeks. Leaning against a pillar, Su Yunyu weakly gasped for breath. Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind:
Wait a minute, Xiao Shuying gave him a pregnancy pill the day before yesterday. He had seen in a drama that women often felt nauseous and vomited after becoming pregnant, so he couldn't possibly be...
Thinking of this, her mood instantly became extremely heavy, even anxious, which made Su Yunyu feel nauseous again. On one hand, she thought about what would happen if she really got pregnant, and on the other hand, she thought about what would happen if she really got pregnant, but Long Aotian was about to be gone.
At this moment, Xiao Shuying walked in and saw that his complexion was even weaker than before. Her expression changed, and she hurriedly helped Su Yunyu to transfer spiritual energy to him. She also used spiritual energy to examine the condition of his meridians, her tone somewhat anxious:
"Where is Master feeling unwell?"
Su Yunyu was already deeply preoccupied with whether she was pregnant. Seeing Xiao Shuying's anxious face, she felt it was all hypocritical and couldn't help but sneer. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and she raised her hand to slap him.
"You know perfectly well why I do this. Don't you know?"
