In the end, Song Siyao lost.
Wan Qiji wanted to win desperately, but he never expected to win so easily.
Who told a silly rabbit to run out from around the corner and bump right into his leg?
The composed Demon Lord bent down and picked up the rabbit with a slight surprise, exchanging glances with Song Siyao, who had come with a sword.
"..."
"Since you've won, I'll grant you one request. Speak."
Song Siyao was somewhat indignant, but he accepted his defeat.
When you're down on your luck, you can't blame anyone else.
Wan Qiji released the rabbit from his grasp, saying, "That doesn't count—"
"Yes, of course it counts. How can it not count?"
Song Siyao crossed his arms and raised his chin, wanting to see what conditions he could propose.
The birds and beasts in the forest all gave way, and even the insects dared not utter a sound.
Only the pitiful cries of the rabbit, which had just been released, desperately trying to escape seemed particularly poignant.
Two figures, one in red and one in black, stood facing each other when a ray of sunlight suddenly shone down into the forest.
Wan Qiji pursed his lips and pondered for a long time.
Winning was unexpected for him.
He didn't know how to start the conversation without seeming abrupt.
"Dawdling and procrastinating."
Song Siyao flicked her ponytail, carrying her sword and dragging the four spirit creatures she had hunted, leaving the man behind.
Wan Qiji stood alone in place, even the giant sword behind him seemed somewhat forlorn.
"Wait for me..."
He quickly chased after him.
"What I'm trying to say is that ascension will definitely be successful."
His dark eyes stared at her without blinking.
Song Siyao glanced at him casually, chuckling to herself as she thought, "Isn't that obvious?"
But the moment I looked over, I met his deep gaze.
Everything seemed quiet.
Even the leaves falling gently in the sunlight seemed to slow down.
Song Siyao's usually calm heart suddenly started racing the moment their eyes met.
She frowned, lowered her eyes, and tilted her head slightly.
Only when she was fighting did her heart feel this excited.
"What kind of condition is this?"
Song Siyao withdrew his gaze and looked at the ordinary spiritual plants on both sides of the road.
Wan Qiji reluctantly followed her for a few steps.
"You didn't answer my question last time."
"After you ascend to the realm of gods, will you also seek out people to spar with every day, just like me?"
On days when they can't spar in person, they'll practice swordsmanship together using the Spirit Vision Mirror.
Everyone drank alcohol that time.
The topic shifted from one point to another.
Wanqiji stubbornly wanted an answer.
He stared at her intently.
The spirited woman chuckled twice. "Are you an idiot?"
After she finished speaking, she didn't even realize that her steps had inexplicably become lighter.
Upon hearing this, how could the Demon Lord, who was already the ruler of the Demon Realm, still smile so innocently as when they first met?
"So your answer is no, right?"
He was also dragging his prey along. The two highly efficient people, who were always fighting or killing, slowed down for once.
Song Siyao smiled and raised an eyebrow at him: "We've been sparring for over a hundred years now. Besides you, who else have I sparred with every day?"
"The only one who can keep up with my light is you."
He is the best partner for sparring.
Song Siyao glanced sideways, his sharp eyes now filled with a smile.
Others couldn't keep up with her swordplay, and what they sought was different.
She enjoys extreme and frenzied battles, and Wan Qiji is no less so.
During her years of traveling alone, she made many new friends, but none of them were as compatible with her as Wan Qiji.
Even tacit understanding and skillful exchange depend on the individuals involved.
Song Siyao wouldn't even look at anyone else, nor would he bother with them.
Let alone the idea of exchanging skills.
Wanqi Ji was relieved.
"After you ascend, I will also ascend as soon as possible and won't fall too far behind you."
Like Wan'er, he had seen many scenes from his past life.
Even someone as dull as him only belatedly realized something after seeing those images.
But he wasn't sure if, having not experienced so much together in this life, that feeling would still remain between them.
However, he knew for certain that the dashing woman in front of him, chin raised, urging him to catch up, was not there.
In her previous life, after she became a demon, he stayed by her side for many, many years.
When she was fully conscious and drew her sword to commit suicide, she only said "thank you" and then hesitated for the rest of her life.
But it doesn't matter.
Wan Qiji learned a lot from Shen Zhuochuan.
Since she didn't have that kind of interest, Wan Qiji felt that it was already good enough to spend a lifetime sparring with her.
He was lonely and longed to stand beside her, to be her equal.
They returned laden with their prey.
The other side was not so harmonious and peaceful.
On the riverbank.
The two men rolled up their sleeves and trousers and stepped onto the riverbank, holding forks in their hands.
One poke and it's empty.
Qin Xi slapped the water in frustration, splashing water that flew onto Baili Xijiang.
"Why go through all this trouble to catch fish when you can use spiritual energy?"
Baili Xijiang exclaimed, "You've scared all my fish away!"
The woman stood with her hands on her hips, glaring at him angrily with her round eyes.
She wore a pretty dress today to go out, but now it's all wet.
Qin Xi got angry and turned her head away, not wanting to look at him.
As a result, when he shook his head, the hairpin fell into the water.
She had just frowned when Baili Xijiang leaned over and reached into the water to search, shouting, "What's the rush? Didn't my uncle tell us not to rush?"
Qin Xi crossed her arms and chuckled as she watched him find a hairpin for her.
“I’ve never seen you listen to him like this before.”
It's already quite an achievement if they don't cause trouble.
