Chapter 248 What if I absolutely have to?
A hint of helplessness flashed in Su Yuchen's eyes as he took her hand.
"Since that's the case, I have successfully established my foundation. Take your magic back."
“Su Yuchen, the path of cultivation is extremely difficult. If it weren’t for my magical power protecting you, you would have suffered a lot. Have you really thought this through?” Yun Yao asked in a deep voice.
"And what about you? You didn't start out like this either?"
Yun Yao's eyes dimmed for a moment.
"Me? I don't remember."
Upon seeing this, Su Yuchen immediately changed the subject.
“If I can’t even endure this little bit of hardship, what right do I have to stand by your side?” Su Yuchen said very seriously.
Yun Yao was moved, but there were some things she still needed to clarify with him.
"Su Yuchen, once a person chooses the path of cultivation, they are destined to transcend this mortal world. Do you know what that means? It means that you will be lonely in the future, without family or friends. Even so, do you not regret it?"
Upon hearing this, Su Yuchen's lips curled into a smile. He looked at Yun Yao and gently rubbed the top of her head.
"I have no regrets now, and I never will."
Yun Yao understood, pulled his hand down, and gently grasped his wrist.
"Don't worry, with me here, I can protect you, not only in this mortal realm, but also in the Six Realms."
After Yun Yao finished speaking, her eyes lowered slightly. The surging magical power within Su Yuchen's body seemed to find water in a parched land, eagerly pouring into every pore of her body.
A moment later, Yun Yao let go and stretched lazily.
"Comfortable."
Magic power was as essential to her as water was to a person. Yun Yao had missed this feeling of abundance and security after so long.
Su Yuchen looked at her, his mind still replaying her words about protecting him.
One day, I will say those words.
Yun Yao had no idea what Su Yuchen was thinking; she only felt that she was more energetic than ever before.
"Su Yuchen, come on, let me show you the night view of Tantu."
As soon as Yun Yao finished speaking, the two of them disappeared from the spot.
Why is it "sister"?
The two were atop the highest bell tower in Tantu when Su Yuchen asked this question at a very inopportune moment.
Yun Yao looked at him in surprise.
"Otherwise what? This ancestor?"
Su Yuchen's expression was still very strange.
"If you don't mention ancestors, then you'll call me...Grandma?"
Su Yuchen: "..."
"Wanwan, we are husband and wife."
"So what?" Perhaps in Yun Yao's mind, a marriage certificate is no different from two people living together.
"Wanwan, are Lin Dai'er and Cheng Xu a couple?"
Yun Yao nodded without even thinking.
"Yes."
"What does Lin Dai'er call Cheng Xu?"
“Xu… Brother?” Yun Yao finally realized what was happening and swallowed the word “brother.”
"You're not going to make me call you 'brother' too, are you? Su Yuchen, I'm tens of thousands of years older than you! Don't even think about it!"
Wait a minute... she seems to have overlooked something.
Did he just ask about the relationship between Cheng Xu and Lin Dai'er? Could it be... that he has already discovered that he arranged the relationship between Lin Dai'er and Cheng Xu?
"Um—that."
Su Yuchen wasn't really concerned about how she addressed him; his original intention was to find out that. Seeing her in a daze, he figured she had realized what he meant.
"Wanwan, Cheng Xu's skill level is almost on par with Gu Jiuliang's, and Lin Dai'er's poison skills are superb. How could such talented people be unknown? But there is no information about them at all. If it weren't for your efforts, I'm afraid there would be no one else in the world who could hire them."
Yun Yao touched her nose guiltily, not expecting that her little tricks had been seen through by him long ago. She had been acting so heartless those past few days.
"Oh." Yun Yao looked away, refusing to look at him.
Tantu truly lives up to its reputation as a top tourist destination, and this night has a unique charm.
Under the starry sky, Tantu was not as bustling as it was during the day; the whole country was quiet, and the lights that were lit up looked especially warm.
“Su Yuchen, if it weren’t for unfinished business in the capital, I would like to stay here for a few more days.”
Su Yuchen naturally took her hand and followed her gaze to look into the distance.
"Then let's stay a little longer."
Yun Yao shook her head, reluctantly turning her gaze away.
"Let's wait a little longer. Once I've settled things in the capital, we'll find a beautiful, secluded place with a spring-like climate all year round."
Even the brightest moonlight pales in comparison to her; she alone possesses the beauty of the world.
The atmosphere was right, and with his lover in his arms, if Su Yuchen could really control himself, he would have to wonder if something was wrong with him.
He gently lifted Yun Yao's chin and lightly brushed his fingertips across her lips.
Yun Yao felt a little flustered, and her cheeks involuntarily flushed.
No matter how many times she mentally prepared herself, she always felt unconsciously nervous at this time.
Her eyes, which could hold the stars and the sea, flickered slightly, and her lips were pursed.
But in Su Yuchen's eyes, she looked even more alluring.
"Wanwan, when can we..."
Before he could finish speaking, Yun Yao's lips covered his.
Yun Yao tiptoed slightly, her hands tightly gripping the front of his shirt, and awkwardly deepened the kiss.
What? This guy isn't going to ask me when I can have children, is he?
To avoid embarrassment, she decided to strike first. She couldn't be shy every time this happened, could she? She had to regain control as soon as possible!
The unique fragrance emanating from her body filled Su Yuchen's mouth, his eyes becoming somewhat hazy, and his hand, hanging at his side, embraced her slender waist.
"Wanwan, this is how you should kiss. Learn from me."
Su Yuchen turned the tables and aggressively conquered territory.
Under the moonlight, atop the clock tower, two figures intertwined, lingering indistinguishable for a long time…
It wasn't until half an hour later that the two reluctantly parted ways. If they hadn't both been a little out of control, they wouldn't have been willing to give up this long-lost feeling.
"Su Yuchen, let me tell you a secret." Yun Yao's fingers landed on the railing and tapped lightly.
"Hmm?" His voice was hoarse from restraint, and it was incredibly sexy.
"Ahem, for immortal couples, the man's strength must be one level higher than the woman's before they can get together."
At this moment, Su Yuchen felt his mind go completely blank.
Is this girl's flirting just pure flirting?
"What level do you belong to?" Su Yuchen's voice carried a hint of resentment.
"Probably... at the Upper God level?"
"And what level is above you?"
"Maybe not."
Su Yuchen: "..."
"Yun Yao!" Su Yuchen slammed his fist on the railing.
Yun Yao was somewhat taken aback, and she shrank back.
“Even if… even if there’s no one above me right now, it doesn’t mean you won’t be the exception!” Yun Yao said guiltily.
Su Yuchen's brow twitched, and the veins on his arms bulged.
"What if I absolutely have to?"
Yun Yao was stunned for a moment.
"Then...then they'll explode and die."
Su Yuchen: "..."
After losing control, he calmed down and shook his head helplessly.
"Is there a quick way to learn?"
Yun Yao: "???"
