"Don't keep staring at me. Now that you've become a young woman, you need to be more reserved. Don't give yourself away."
Wei Yuan's eyes were covered, but he was secretly overjoyed.
The Yutang of today is vastly different from the Yutang of the time when the Path of Ruthlessness was cultivated.
She knows how to respond to his feelings and will flirt with him from time to time.
It made him feel like he was dreaming, and he didn't want to wake up.
“Who said I’ve really become a girl?” Wei Yuan whispered in Yu Tang’s ear, “It’s just a change in clothes and figure. As for the truly important part, I’m still worthy of being Chi Yu’s fiancé…”
Yu Tang couldn't bear to look bad after hearing those witty remarks.
The hand that was covering someone's eyes turned to cover their mouth, and Yu Tang glared at him: "Don't say things like that in public!"
“Okay, I won’t say it outside.” Wei Yuan pulled his hand and walked towards the testing line: “I’ll say it inside.”
This statement contained a lot of information, so Yu Tang decisively shut up and stopped communicating with Wei Yuan.
Otherwise, who knows what shocking remarks will be made.
The test went smoothly.
They suppressed their cultivation levels, which was more than enough to deceive these mortals.
After passing the first hurdle, the next hurdle is to spend a day and a night climbing from the foot of the mountain to the summit of the Qingcang Sword Sect.
This mountain is full of traps, snares, and monsters; a moment's carelessness could mean certain death.
In the past, many children have failed at this stage of the admissions process.
Wei Yuan and Yu Tang entered the mountains hand in hand, following leisurely behind the young men and women who had passed the first test.
Yu Tang suspected that the Qingcang Sword Sect had been targeting the young people since the entrance exams. Therefore, he wanted to investigate further.
“The miasma in this forest is very thick.” Yu Tang frowned. “I’ve seen the disciples of the Qingcang Sword Sect take detoxifying pills in advance, but not a single disciple has reminded these young people that the miasma is harmful to their health.”
“The Qingcang Sword Sect is rotten to the core.” Wei Yuan said with a deep look in his eyes, “Every three years, only a handful of people actually pass the entrance test.”
After becoming involved, no one knows where the missing children went.
Yu Tang asked him, "Did you see something back then that led you to destroy the entire Qingcang Sword Sect?"
"Master, please continue reading. I cannot explain the intricacies of this matter in a short time."
Because Yu Tang wanted to see it for himself, he brought the person along.
Moreover, he was never a good person, and his original intention was not to let Yu Tang know how dirty and chaotic the human and divine realms were.
He just wanted to take this opportunity to have some fun with Yu Tang in the human realm, so he kept her in suspense.
As the fog thickened in the forest, the boys formed groups and cautiously advanced. When they encountered low-level monsters, they worked together to deal with them, and they got along fairly well.
As night fell, the woods became completely dark.
The boys stopped, lit a fire, and rested, eating dry rations.
“There’s someone around here.” Yu Tang poked at the branches in the fire, then looked up at Wei Yuan: “They’ve been following us all the way.”
"They should make their move after nightfall." The two leaned against the thick tree trunk behind them. Wei Yuan rested his head on Yu Tang's shoulder and played with the boy's hair. "We can follow them and see where they go."
"Hmm..." Yu Tang nodded, but the next moment he felt a hand slowly groping on his lower back.
He frowned and looked down at Wei Yuan: "What are you doing?"
Wei Yuan looked up at him and smiled, his smile truly radiant, yet he spoke without a hint of shame.
"I don't want to do anything, I just want to touch you."
Yu Tang pretended to hit him, but felt the other person's hand move up from his lower back to his shoulder.
Then she hooked her arm around his neck and held up the object in her hand in front of him like a treasure.
"Ta-da!"
He even added his own background music.
"Look, Brother Chiyu, I picked this on the way."
Wei Yuan was holding a bunch of deep red roses.
Contrasting with her pale skin, she handed it to Yu Tang and said, "The meaning of a deep red rose is 'I only want to be with you.' I saw it on the road and secretly picked it for you. Do you like it?"
Yu Tang was stunned for a moment.
He even ran a flower shop in the ninth world, so he's quite knowledgeable about the meanings of flowers.
Receiving these flowers now makes me smile involuntarily.
“I like it…” He took the rose and noticed that Wei Yuan had carefully removed all the thorns.
"I'm glad you like it, brother." Wei Yuan felt very satisfied seeing him happy, but after thinking for a moment, he said, "However, I never give gifts for nothing."
Upon hearing this, Yu Tang was puzzled for a moment, but then guessed what the young man was thinking. He smiled and asked, "You mean you want a return gift?"
Seeing Wei Yuan nod hastily, just about to say he wanted a kiss, Yu Tang interrupted him with, "That's perfect, I've already thought of what to give you in return."
"Huh?" Wei Yuan was dumbfounded: "What does brother want to give me?"
"Close your eyes."
Upon hearing this, Wei Yuan's heart leaped into his throat, and he couldn't help but keep turning up his lips in a smile.
My mind is filled with images of my own partner offering a kiss.
"Okay..." He obediently closed his eyes.
But after waiting for a while, the kiss I expected didn't come.
Instead, he felt Yu Tang pull his hand.
He slipped a prickly object onto his ring finger.
What is it?
"Just take a look for yourself."
Having received permission, Wei Yuan opened his eyes and found a ring made of woven grass leaves on the ring finger of his left hand.
Then, at that moment, the person he loved most took his hand, kissed the back of his left hand, and asked him softly.
"Yuan'er, do you like this gift?"
Wei Yuan froze, staring intently at Yu Tang.
Seeing that he was dumbfounded, Yu Tang couldn't help but laugh to himself, so he added another bombshell.
Asked...
"With roses as our witness and green grass as our matchmaker, let us use these to pledge our love, and then choose a day to get married, shall we?"
Chapter 31
Died for the villain for the tenth time (31)
Wei Yuan's face was already flushed red.
It's about to boil.
His eyes darted around, not daring to land on Yu Tang's face.
"Okay... alright."
After awkwardly finishing his sentence, Wei Yuan hugged Yu Tang, buried his head in the boy's shoulder, and said in a muffled voice, "Master, if you say those words a few more times, I'm really going to faint here and won't be able to get up."
Is it that serious?
“Yes…” Wei Yuan’s eyes were slightly red as he said, “I can’t help but feel that the world is becoming unreal when you say these things to me. It makes me feel happy and scared at the same time.”
His love was passionate and intense, yet forever tinged with humility.
Even fear.
I fear that all of this is like the dream of the Little Mermaid marrying the prince, which will eventually turn into bubbles and disappear into the world at dawn.
"Hey, you," Yu Tang patted his head and said helplessly, "You just overthink things."
But soon, his expression changed, and he said softly, "Those people are about to make their move."
Wei Yuan regained his composure and replied, "Yes, I noticed that too."
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a strange wind arose in the forest, extinguishing the fire.
"Something's coming!"
Someone shouted, and then everyone was enveloped in black smoke.
"What is that?! Could it be a monster?"
"Wasn't it said that the rift was repaired by a powerful being from the divine realm a while ago? How come there are still demons here?"
"ah--"
A girl's scream came from behind. Yu Tang looked closely and saw that the smoke had completely enveloped the girl, leaving only her head visible, before it suddenly tightened!
In the blink of an eye, the girl was decapitated, her head falling to the ground, her wide-open eyes staring directly at Yu Tang and Wei Yuan.
The cut on the edge of his neck looked like the teeth marks of a monster, and blood flowed all over the ground.
Those present were all teenagers. Seeing this, even those with the strongest mental fortitude were terrified and screamed, frantically fleeing in all directions!
"They're doing this on purpose!" Yu Tang realized that the black mist intended to separate the boys, so he shouted, "Don't separate! Gather together!"
But nobody listened to him.
The boys continued to run quickly in all directions and disappeared in a short while.
“Brother Chiyu, you can’t control these things.” Wei Yuan was very calm: “In the world I created, many events are a replay of everything that has happened before. It’s a cycle. Even if you save them here, once I leave and the world collapses, they will automatically enter another cycle.”
"So, we just need to observe."
Upon hearing this, Yu Tang calmed down. However, he still walked up to the girl, reached out to close her eyes, and silently recited a few verses of scripture for her salvation before leading Wei Yuan to chase after the group of boys with the largest number of people.
On the way, he asked Wei Yuan, "Were you also devoured by demons like this?"
“Hmm…” Wei Yuan narrowed his eyes, recalling that darkest time, and said, “I’ve almost forgotten how many times I’ve been eaten by those monsters.”
