At 66 years old, Ye Yu reached the mid-Earth Ghost Realm.
In over thirty years, he had crossed one major realm boundary. If it were someone else, such speed would surely bring overwhelming joy.
But Ye Yu was very dissatisfied.
Excessive, far too excessive!
What was the difference from wasting time idly?
He knew that with ghost energy once again reviving in the Netherworld, the Nether Ghost Realm had also awakened.
The Earth Ghost Realm was simply not enough.
However, this was unavoidable.
News spread rapidly in the Netherworld.
Yes, it was true — Ye Yu held the title of “king of taking blame,” so many shameless people should have pinned their misdeeds on him.
At first, that was indeed the case.
But later, the matter seemed to have been completely paused.
No one framed Ye Yu anymore.
At least, he never heard of it.
This puzzled Ye Yu greatly, so he sent Jiao Hekang to investigate.
The results were both laughable and tearful.
They counted two major framing incidents against Ye Yu.
First, the Huan Yuan Glazed Pill from Duanhun Village.
Second, the ghost art of Dingling City.
These two matters stirred quite a commotion in the Netherworld.
Ye Yu made no denial of either.
He openly admitted everything.
At that time, almost everyone believed Ye Yu’s death was certain.
But what was the result?
He was still alive and well.
Sometimes even frequently entering and leaving Dingling City.
What did this prove?
Ye Yu truly was the “king of taking blame.” No matter what was said, he admitted it all — but it was completely useless.
Even if someone framed him now,
No one would believe it.
If that was the case, why bother with framing?
Better to spend that time cultivating seriously.
Thus, Ye Yu gave up the desire to be framed again.
Honestly, this outcome was both laughable and frustrating.
God, why was fate so harsh in this dream?
Was it a crime to want to be framed and slandered?
Had he broken some heavenly rule?
Helpless, Ye Yu could only think of new methods.
Later, he even considered a radical move.
Having Jiao Hekang, controlled by the Divine Soul Control Technique, stand before him and frame him properly.
Dreaming of self-sufficient success.
Of course, Ye Yu didn’t exaggerate to the point of framing to Ghost Emperor Realm.
A simple Nether Ghost Realm level frame would do, no problem, right?
But reality was harsh and the imagination rich.
The system said plainly: “Framing and slander will come true, not just a wish.”
Receiving this answer, Ye Yu felt very disappointed.
Why was it so hard to exploit a bug these days?
Even if bugs weren’t allowed, at least give me a villain to frame and slander.
But nothing came. What was this?
Was cultivation really meant to be honest and quiet?
But cultivation wasn’t just about diligence — talent was needed.
The facts had long proven that talent in this dream was very ordinary.
No chance of advancing further in Earth Ghost Realm!
Whenever Ye Yu thought of this,
He couldn’t help but sigh loudly to the sky.
At that moment, a figure appeared in the air.
Softly saying: “What are you worrying about every day? Always sighing and groaning, what’s the point?”
Without looking up, Ye Yu knew it was Ying Naiyan from Duanhun Village.
He said gloomily: “You come so often to this remote Ku Han City, is that meaningful?”
Indeed, Ye Yu was no longer staying long in Dingling City.
He had returned to Ku Han City.
In fact, if Ye Yu wished, he could announce himself as the new city lord of Dingling City anytime.
But he hadn’t done so because he didn’t want others to guess wildly.
If everyone thought he had some divine background or power,
Wouldn’t fewer people frame and slander him?
That wasn’t what Ye Yu wanted.
So he remained quietly in Ku Han City, thinking of ways to attract grudges.
One thing puzzled Ye Yu greatly.
In these decades,
Ying Naiyan seemed to be locked in a standoff with him, appearing in Ku Han City frequently.
At first, she appeared over the Ye family’s residence silently, just quietly watching Ye Yu.
When he asked if she needed anything, she said no.
Whether human or ghost, being watched nonstop made one feel uneasy.
That was a common problem.
Of course, Ye Yu didn’t like being watched either.
So he said, “If nothing, leave.”
Ying Naiyan would firmly reply: “Leave.”
Perfectly echoed.
But talk was one thing; action was another.
Every time she said she’d leave, Ying Naiyan wouldn’t go immediately, but stayed until she wanted to leave.
After two such occasions, Ye Yu confronted her directly.
He said frankly, “I already took the Huan Yuan Glazed Pill. Even if you keep staying in Ku Han City, it’s useless.”
This made Ying Naiyan smile brightly.
Clearly, she didn’t believe Ye Yu really had the pill, even thought he was joking.
How ironic, right?
Someone desperately denied it but wasn’t believed.
Someone desperately admitted it but still wasn’t believed.
Who could reason with that?
Gradually, as time passed and visits multiplied,
Ye Yu got used to Ying Naiyan’s arrival.
Every ten to fifteen days, she would come once.
This time, coming again, it must be that time of the month.
Ye Yu shook his head slightly.
But their relationship had long since become more familiar.
Faced with Ye Yu’s “interesting or not” remark, Ying Naiyan didn’t get angry, but smiled and said: “I find it quite interesting. According to you, you took the Huan Yuan Glazed Pill, and I come periodically.”
“Consider it recording the ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) effects after taking the pill.”
“A rare piece of data.”
Hmm, must admit, that’s a very good reason.
But based on Ye Yu’s many years of experience in love affairs,
The truth was quite different.
After pondering, Ye Yu raised his head slightly and softly said: “You like me?”
Simple four words that firmly controlled Ying Naiyan for a long time.
During that time, Ye Yu didn’t urge but quietly waited for an answer.
After a moment, Ying Naiyan answered decisively: “Yes, I do.”
