Under Gu Ji’s firm insistence, Ye Yu finally agreed, and the two became the village’s first divine couple.
At the same time, this was also the fastest Ye Yu had ever finalized a relationship with a wife.
In the time it took to drink a cup of tea, they were matched so quickly, just like playing a game!
At first, Ye Yu had been hesitant.
But when Gu Ji solemnly declared her certainty in him,
Ye Yu was moved.
That confident and slightly untamed beauty was truly irresistible.
So let her roar like a lion from east of the river—no use overthinking it!
Two days later, Chu Ge personally held a wedding ceremony for Ye Yu and Gu Ji.
In his words, it was also the first time he’d done something like this, so it might not be very professional, but bringing everyone together for some merriment was still fine!
Ye Yu had no objection to this.
Chu Ge had originally been a solitary cultivator in the mortal realm, then became an immortal, and later a god.
Those basic rituals ingrained in him couldn’t be removed; he had desperately tried to recall them, wanting to simulate the feeling of a mortal wedding ceremony.
But Gu Ji hadn’t wanted to make things so complicated; she immediately took Ye Yu’s hand, walked to the center of the gods, and boldly told everyone.
“This is my divine partner and my husband, named Ye Yu.”
“In the future, behave well with him; he’s a good person. If anyone can’t get along with him, then look for the reason within yourselves, understood?”
This almost domineering declaration left more than a dozen gods staring in bewilderment.
Which family’s decent person gets married in such a fashion?
Was it to witness happiness or to deliver a domineering proclamation?
Great Gu Ji, your actions are really hard to keep a straight face over!
Chu Ge soon reacted, stepped forward on his own, and said a few words to smooth things over.
Only then did he prevent the awkward atmosphere from continuing to spread!
After that, Chu Ge took on the responsibility of introducing Ye Yu to everyone.
Originally this matter should have been handled by Gu Ji!
But since Gu Ji had acted too domineeringly, Chu Ge had to do it himself!
Under his introductions, Ye Yu met the various gods in the village.
Among these people, there were quite a few from the demon clan, but they were all relatively kind.
But when they came before the last god, Ye Yu saw thirty million negative emotion points!
That number was truly terrifying!
And since it could be harvested, it meant that this fellow had generated those negative emotions himself.
It was somewhat baffling; clearly he hadn’t done anything himself!
Ye Yu didn’t have time to think further; since there was something to harvest, he naturally harvested it first out of respect!
With a deep breath, three thousand negative emotion points were in his hand! Brilliant!
“This is . . .”
Chu Ge stepped forward, intending to introduce their identities, but before he could finish, he was interrupted.
“Senior Chu, you don’t need to introduce anything; didn’t Gu Ji already introduce him? This is her divine partner, Ye Yu. My name is Qin Zizhu, pleased to meet you!”
Hearing the last sentence, Ye Yu as if triggered a passive skill, blurted out
“How pleased are you!”
“Eh?”
The smile on Qin Zizhu’s face stiffened.
Was that response even normal?
Everyone greeted each other with smiles; I say “pleased,” you say “nice to meet you,” all so harmonious.
But you directly responded with “How pleased am I?”
How the hell was I supposed to know how pleased I was?
As Qin Zizhu’s murmured thoughts echoed in his heart, another seventeen million negative emotion points appeared above his head!
Ye Yu was practically overjoyed.
Another deposit to the bonus account!
“Thanks, Old Qin!”
Although he didn’t know why Qin Zizhu held such negative emotions toward him, having finally found a tool to grind points, how could Ye Yu possibly give up so easily?
So he continued smiling and said
“It’s all right, if you can’t think of how pleased you are then never mind; don’t put yourself out, I don’t mind!”
Qin Zizhu choked on old blood in his throat!
“You killed the conversation, and then you tell me you don’t mind?”
“I should be the one who minds!”
Qin Zizhu again contributed eighteen million negative emotion points!
Ye Yu had been tempted to continue, but Chu Ge stopped him.
“Come, come, come, drink, drink!”
Chu Ge said this while pulling Ye Yu to the side!
Then via mind-transmitted voice he said
“Sure enough, two types of people cannot share one quilt; you and Gu Ji really are a match made in heaven—both of you like talking to choke people to death!”
Ye Yu smiled without speaking.
That was the real me! As we spend time together, you’ll understand!
Chu Ge had no idea of Ye Yu’s little schemes in his heart; instead, he began to recount Qin Zizhu’s story.
This man had also been an immortal from the Celestial Realm; the reason he stayed in the village had been rather special—not because of Chu Ge’s noble ideals.
But because he had fallen in love with Gu Ji at first sight, he had stayed of his own accord, hoping to let affection grow over time.
Over these hundreds of thousands of years,
Qin Zizhu had often made advances toward Gu Ji, stating he would help find a way to dispel her inner demons.
However, this gradual, companion-style affection had not won Gu Ji’s approval.
The latter had been a demon god who dealt with favor and hatred swiftly.
Like is like; dislike is dislike.
So when Qin Zizhu had made his first move, she had rejected him immediately!
But who among ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) those capable of cultivating to godhood is not a person of great perseverance?
Qin Zizhu had considered it a test before love arrived; even if he failed repeatedly, he was determined to fight again and again!
Even just a couple of days ago, he had still been running around the Divine Realm in search of a method to break her inner demons!
He simply had not expected that he would be quietly intercepted by Ye Yu.
Therefore, Qin Zizhu naturally had strong opinions about him.
After hearing Chu Ge’s explanation, Ye Yu finally understood everything—no wonder his first move had been thirty million negative emotion points.
So it had been resentment over a stolen wife!
It was somewhat understandable, but as a tool for grinding points, your role was now decided!
Not even the Lord of Heaven would be of use here, mark my words!
Ye Yu had already begun plotting in his mind how to mess with Qin Zizhu’s mentality.
At that moment, Shen Fuxin walked over and softly said
“Congratulations!”
Ye Yu smiled and nodded.
Beside him, Chu Ge said with much emotion
“I originally thought you two would end up together; I never imagined Gu Ji would beat you to it. It’s truly bittersweet. All right, you two talk; I’ll go see an old friend nearby!”
Chu Ge took the wine cup in his hand and drained it in one gulp; as he turned to leave, a strange look flashed in his eyes.
And Shen Fuxin’s expression seemed somewhat unnatural.
Clearly, Chu Ge’s words from a moment ago had created a strange ambiguity.
