Chapter 456: Why Are You Here?!
The Eternal Sovereign! There was no way Ye Guan could forget the Eternal Sovereign, as the latter still had Little Pagoda in his hands. In addition, Ye Guan knew that the Eternal Sovereign had been recruiting an army to go to war with the Guanxuan Universe.
The Eternal Sovereign's arrival meant the Eternal Sovereign's army was ready.
Ye Guan pushed aside his thoughts and asked, "How long till we reach the Milky Way?"
An You replied respectfully, "We will reach the Milky Way in three days."
"How many are there?"
"There are many of them!" An You answered solemnly.
Many Ye Guan nodded. "I understand."
An You hesitated before asking, "Should we call more people?"
Ye Guan smiled. "No need. The Milky Way is the safest place in the vast expanse."
He then disappeared and went somewhere. It was time to say goodbye.
Ye Guan looked up. Clouds filled the entire sky as cold wind blew all around. Occasionally, lightning would pierce the clouds, and an ear-shattering thunder would reverberate, pervading everything between the heavens.
It's going to rain, he thought.
Ye Guan shook his head slightly before turning around to leave.
A moment later, Ye Guan appeared at the hotel room where Su Zi was staying. As soon as he entered the hotel room, he found Su Zi sprawled out on the bed, sound asleep.
Ye Guan walked up to Su Zi.
She was wearing a thin nightgown, and there was a blissful expression on her sleeping face.
Su Zi opened her eyes slowly and revealed a charming smile upon seeing Ye Guan.
"I knew it was you," Su Zi said.
Ye Guan was puzzled. "How did you know?"
Su Zi wrapped her hands around Ye Guan's neck and whispered, "Your scent."
Ye Guan smiled.
Su Zi rubbed her head against his forehead and whispered, "I've been a bit tired lately."
"Have you been cultivating?"
Su Zi nodded eagerly and said, "I'm already at the Ninth Stage! Pretty fast, right?"
Ye Guan laughed. "Impressive!"
Su Zi smiled. "Get on the bed. I want to sleep while hugging you."
Ye Guan nodded and lay down beside Su Zi, who then embraced him tightly.
"I have to leave," Ye Guan suddenly said.
Su Zi stiffened. After a while, she tightened her hug without saying a word.
"Su Zi..."
Su Zi trembled and said in a shaky voice, "Take me..."
Ye Guan was rendered speechless.
Rumble!
A powerful thunderclap reverberated outside, accompanied by drizzling rain. As the thunder grew louder, the rain became even more intense until it became a torrential downpour. A jarring cacophony of noises echoed from the window as the clouds pelted it with raindrops, and the clusters of black moss on the eaves were soon drenched with rain.
However, the rain became even more intense as if a dam up above had been breached. The torrential downpour lasted for almost two hours before slowly coming to a stop.
Meanwhile, two figures were cuddling in a room that had been filled with a haphazard din of noises not too long ago. Su Zi's face was flushed as she snuggled up to Ye Guan, and her slightly pallid face made it obvious that she was tired.
Ye Guan stroked Su Zi's back and said, "Come with me."
Su Zi looked up at Ye Guan, appearing pleasantly surprised.
Then she suddenly asked, "Am I going to get pregnant?"
Ye Guan was startled.
Su Zi stared at Ye Guan with a beaming face and said shyly, "We did it so many times, so I should be pregnant, right?"
She then buried her face into Ye Guan's arm, utterly embarrassed.
Ye Guan smiled. "Don't change the topic."
Su Zi was silent.
"Do you not want to follow me?" Ye Guan asked softly.
Su Zi quickly shook her head.
"Do you not want to leave this place?"
Su Zi remained silent.
Ye Guan asked, "What if I don't return?"
Su Zi's head shot up to look at Ye Guan.
Ye Guan smiled. "Do you really want to stay here?"
Su Zi lowered her head slightly and muttered, "I want to follow you, but I want to stay here, at least for now. My grandpa is still here, and he's really old..."
"Will you ever come back?" she asked a little nervously.
"If you're here, I'll come back."
Su Zi stared at Ye Guan. "Really?"
Ye Guan nodded. "Yes."
Su Zi smiled and said, "I'm not going to ask for much. Just visit me every day!"
Ye Guan was speechless.
"When are you going to leave?" Su Zi asked.
"I'm leaving in a few days."
Su Zi lowered her head slightly without saying anything.
Ye Guan smiled. "You can stay. It's not that difficult for me to come here."
Su Zi nodded. "Mmhm."
Ye Guan sighed.
Su Zi gazed at Ye Guan and asked, "What's wrong?"
Ye Guan whispered, "I don't want to leave you."
Su Zi was stunned.
Then, tears welled up in her eyes as she hugged Ye Guan tight and exclaimed, "You really do know how to convince me, don't you?!"
Ye Guan smiled and added, "Actually, it's not that bad if you stay here. I'd have a reason to come back here. Otherwise, I might not return to this planet once I leave."
Su Zi lowered her head and asked, "What about Wanyu?"
Ye Guan hurriedly said, "I have a wholesome relationship with Wanyu."
Su Zi looked at Ye Guan. "But we also have a wholesome relationship"
Ye Guan's expression stiffened.
Smiling bitterly, he said, "Nothing ever happened between Wanyu and me."
Su Zi whispered, "I know, but you know that she likes you, right?"
Ye Guan nodded.
"What about you? Do you like her, too?"
Ye Guan was silent.
Su Zi stared intently at Ye Guan. "Have you never talked about that with her?"
Ye Guan sighed softly. "Su Zi, I'm going to talk to her properly. It's just that"
"Do you like her?" Su Zi interjected.
Ye Guan lowered his head the moment he met Su Zi's gaze and kissed her forehead gently. "I'm your man now, you know?"
Su Zi smiled sweetly and said, "I know. What I want to say is that you shouldn't make decisions for her. Be honest to her, and let her decide for herself. You have to tell her because if you leave just like this, she might not be able to move on."
Ye Guan nodded. "Okay...."
He agreed that the matter concerning Mu Wanyu had to be resolved. After all, he didn't really care about anyone else here aside from Su Zi and Mu Wanyu, as he would have starved to death if it hadn't been for them.
Ye Guan looked down at Su Zi and asked, "Why did you bring up Wanyu?"
Su Zi blinked. "What do you mean why?"
"If I get together with her..." Ye Guan muttered.
Su Zi smiled without saying anything.
Ye Guan was puzzled. "Do you not care at all?"
Su Zi held him and whispered, "I care."
Ye Guan was confused. "Then, why?"
Su Zi shook her head and replied, "Mu Wanyu is very kind and sentimental, so if you leave her without telling her, she'll be really hurt. Once a woman falls in love with someone, it's going to be difficult for them to move on from that certain someone. Of course, I'm not speaking for every woman out there, but some of us are like that."
"Actually" Ye Guan whispered, "I havent always been a womanizer."
Su Zi cast a dubious look upon Ye Guan.
Ye Guan saw that and said earnestly, "Really, I used to be focused on my cultivation, but I became fickle-minded when my bloodline awakened. It's a really strange bloodline."
Mad Demon Bloodline: "???"
"Actually, I haven't really seen you flirt with women," Su Zi said with a smile. Then, she leaned closer to Ye Guan's ears and whispered, "You know, women are more perverted than men. Of course, we have to like the man first, and if we like the man, we'll think about pushing that man on the bed all day long."
Ye Guan had no idea.
Su Zi's face suddenly flushed red. "Can I have a child?"
"You want a baby?"
Su Zi nodded. "Mmhm."
"Then, we've got to work even harder!"
Su Zi's face turned even redder, and Ye Guan laughed boisterously.
It was already late in the evening when Ye Guan left the hotel. He decided to respect Su Zi's decision to stay here. He couldn't really force her to follow him, could he?
In addition, Su Zi wasn't familiar with the world beyond the stars, so leaving might not necessarily be good for her. Ye Guan thought it would be better for her to stay here and cultivate. He had left behind a ton of spiritual cores for Su Zi, and those spiritual cores would be enough for her to cultivate for thousands of years.
The next morning, Ye Guan walked to the Sword Dao Department's training grounds.
Mu Yun and Shuang Shuang had embarked on a cultivation journey, so Mu Wanyu was left all alone in the training grounds. She was practicing the sword when Ye Guan stepped onto the training grounds.
Ye Guan walked up to Mu Wanyu.
"You're here?" Mu Wanyu said, beaming.
Ye Guan nodded. "You're already at the Eighth Stage?"
"Yes!" Mu Wanyu replied, nodding.
Ye Guan grinned. "That's impressive.".
Mu Wanyu wore a small smile without saying a word.
"I'm leaving," Ye Guan said suddenly.
Mu Wanyu froze.
Ye Guan chuckled wryly. "I'm leaving the Milky Way."
Mu Wanyu clenched her fists, and Ye Guan standing before her became a blurry sight.
Ye Guan held Mu Wanyu's hand and asked softly, "Do you want to leave with me?"
The tears welling up in Mu Wanyu's eyes streamed down her cheeks. She abandoned all reservations and threw herself into Ye Guan's arms, hugging him tightly.
Despite her tears, Mu Wanyu was on cloud nine. Ye Guan's words were tantamount to a confession of his feelings for her.
Ye Guan wiped away the tears on Mu Wanyu's face and smiled. "Stop crying. Your eyes will swell if you keep crying, and you'll have heavy eyebags by tomorrow."
Mu Wanyu lowered her head slightly and muttered, "Su Zi..."
Ye Guan nodded. "We're together now."
Mu Wanyu was quiet.
Ye Guan held Mu Wanyu's hand and asked, "Im guessing you knew it all this while. Am I right?"
Mu Wanyu nodded.
Ye Guan smiled. "Then, let's have some fun together."
Mu Wanyu looked up at Ye Guan with a frown.
Ye Guan chuckled awkwardly, saying, "I mean I really miss the days when the three of us were still living together"
He swore to suppress the Mad Demon Bloodline once he returned to the Guanxuan Universe. Ye Guan was extremely confident that the Mad Demon Bloodline was the reason behind his impure thoughts these days.
Mad Demon Bloodline: "..."
Mu Wanyu hugged Ye Guan and buried her head into his chest.
"I like you," she said.
Ye Guan nodded. "I know."
"But it's illegal to have more than one wife here."
"I'll have them reform that law as soon as possible."
Mu Wanyu looked up at Ye Guan.
He bent down and kissed her gently. "Anyway, you can't escape me now."
Mu Wanyu whispered, "I haven't been able to escape you, anyway."
Ye Guan laughed heartily.
Mu Wanyu asked, "Is Su Zi going to leave with you?"
Ye Guan shook his head. "She decided to stay here."
Mu Wanyu was puzzled. "She's not going with you?"
Ye Guan nodded.
"Are you going to come back here?" Mu Wanyu asked.
Ye Guan smiled. "Yes."
After a moment of silence, Mu Wanyu said, "I want to stay here, too."
Ye Guan was baffled. "Why?"
"This is my home, and the outside world is unfamiliar to me."
Ye Guan was silent.
Mu Wanyu hugged Ye Guan and asked, "Is that okay?"
Ye Guan nodded. "Yes."
Mu Wanyu smiled. "Will you come back often?"
"I'll definitely come back often since you two are here."
Mu Wanyu nodded. "Great!"
Right then, someone deliberately cleared their throat as they stood behind Ye Guan and Mu Wanyu. "Ahem."
Ye Guan turned and was shocked. "What thewhy are you here?!"
