Jin Yu's face flushed slightly, "You..."
Bai Chan clutched her nearly dislocated jaw, exclaiming in shock, "Su Chen!!" How did she suddenly turn into a lecherous woman?!
Su Chen was completely oblivious to Bai Chan's shocked expression, as she was stunned by the beauty's blush. Really! How could a man—no, a male immortal—be so beautiful?
"Su Chen, Su Chen?" Bai Chan looked at Su Chen, who was practically drooling, and quickly tugged at her sleeve to remind her.
Su Chen then came to her senses and pressed on, "Handsome, can I have your contact information? I'll be able to find you when we get back to the Immortal Realm."
"I..." Jin Yu, who had been so composed just moments before, was now blushing and speechless.
"Hey~ who did this to our innocent little Jinjin?" A handsome man with his shirt open walked over, fanning himself.
Su Chen bluntly said, "Why is my brother so... ahem... dashing and debonair?"
The "charming" handsome man laughed and said, "Oh, so there's a little beauty here. No wonder our little Jinjin is blushing."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Jin Yu glanced at him sideways. "What? You've finished watching the ritual?"
"Wow! Second Uncle!" Bai Chan ran over and looked at her second uncle with admiration. "Second Uncle always receives the respect and worship of mortals! When will Bai Chan be able to be so respected?"
The second uncle, who wasn't dressed properly, said without batting an eye, "Bai Chan, if you cultivate diligently, one day you'll be respected like your second uncle."
Bai Chan nodded, her eyes sparkling with admiration.
Su Chen, standing to the side, refrained from making any comments.
Jin Yu stood beside him, trying hard to suppress the twitching at the corner of her mouth.
Unfortunately, the two immortals in front of them were shameless (male) and too naive (female), so they simply ignored the two people next to them who were trying their best to remain silent.
"Second Uncle, I heard today is the Mid-Autumn Festival in the human world. It seems that we eat mooncakes, have family reunions, and release river lanterns to pray for... what were we praying for again?" Bai Chan had just heard people passing by talking about it, and she couldn't remember much of it at once.
Her second uncle straightened his clothes solemnly and said, "I pray for a marriage."
"Pfft..." Su Chen couldn't hold it in any longer. She had felt like vomiting just now, but now she was laughing out of anger.
Jin Yu patted Bai Chan's second uncle on the shoulder, looking constipated, and said, "Alright, stop talking nonsense."
Bai Chan, unsuspecting, asked, "What is fate?"
"Marriage is a matter of fate, where a man and a woman are connected by a single thread."
"What are you being led by?"
"By the gaze, by fate, by the red thread..."
Wow! So many methods? And so easy?
"How could it be easy for ordinary people?"
"Then I'll help them."
"no……"
...
Bai Chan and her second uncle were having an academic discussion about the immortal realm, while Su Chen and Jin Yu followed silently behind.
Listening to the two naturally born immortals talking about defying fate, Su Chen couldn't help but laugh.
Su Chen chuckled and muttered, "Really, even immortals are so curious about things in the human world."
Jin Yu: "What's wrong with that? They grew up in the Immortal Realm and rarely have the opportunity to go to the Human Realm, so naturally they're curious."
Su Chen turned to face him and asked, "And you? Are you curious?"
“I…” Jin Yu’s expression darkened, then she quickly lowered her eyes and smiled, “I climbed up from this human realm.”
Su Chen was taken aback, wondering why he would use the word "climb".
Although she didn't understand, she had heard people around her talk about cultivation novels, and they all talked about "ascending to heaven in broad daylight," using words like "reaching the summit" and "ascending to heaven." Why did Jin Yu describe the process of becoming an immortal as "climbing"?
Is there some secret here?
Seeing that Jin Yu was in a bad mood and was trying to hide her past, Su Chen stopped asking.
He continued, "The Immortal Realm is an existence that is beyond the reach of the mortal world. Little do people know how many people want to find the secret to immortality, even the emperors of the mortal world want it."
"Yet there are always some immortals who want to sneak down to the mortal realm to experience its beauty..."
Jin Yu raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, "Aren't you the same? A tree demon who just underwent tribulation to become an immortal, and then sneaked down to the mortal realm."
Su Chen's throat tightened, and she was immediately speechless.
Right, she's a celestial being now, so how come she naturally steered the conversation towards the human realm?
"I also want to ask you, how can a little tree spirit from the demon realm be so knowledgeable about human affairs?" Jin Yu narrowed her eyes and asked with a smile.
Su Chen thought to herself, "Damn it! This guy is a wolf in sheep's clothing! If I stay with him any longer, he might see through my disguise! And now that my cheat system seems to be gone, I can't risk my life!"
Su Chen could only smile awkwardly and remain silent. She quickly walked a few steps, patted Bai Chan's shoulder, and whispered, "Bai Chan, you haven't released your river lantern yet."
