An Jinqiu’s face turned pale, her hands trembling slightly hidden in her sleeves.
When Ye Yu told the Yixing Pavilion’s Immortal Lord that he’d be back soon, did that {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} mean he was going to reject her?
Thinking of this possibility, her heart sank to the bottom of a valley.
An Jieyue, however, was impatient and quickly asked, “Mr. Ye, what exactly are you thinking? Why not just say it outright?”
Ye Yu looked at An Jinqiu, and immediately, her three wishes appeared above her head:
These three wishes clearly conflicted with most of the fairies’ wishes in Yixing Pavilion.
So Ye Yu did not plan to fulfill all of them.
He first explained how he had joined Yixing Pavilion and become Sixth Elder.
He also admitted that he hadn’t expected the reactions of so many fairies today.
Especially the fierce words from Immortal Lord Qin Xihe and Jiang Yumo almost made him lose composure.
One plus one plus one, buy one get two free, even giving away two hundred ninety-nine—such things were truly crazy.
He had no prior knowledge of this.
Hearing this, a glimmer of hope appeared in An Jinqiu’s eyes.
At the same time, a system voice rang in his mind:
“Detected completion of An Jinqiu’s first blue wish.”
“Reward: one latest model battle robe from the Joyful Immortal Sect.”
The next second, a minimalist magical robe appeared in Ye Yu’s storage ring.
Looking at its unique design, his mouth twitched slightly.
“Joyful Immortal Sect? Isn’t that basically the upgraded version of the Human World’s Harmonious Sect?”
To be honest, their designs really were superior to the Human World’s. But wasn’t this a bit much?
After all, it was only a blue wish—just giving this?
Kind of half-hearted, right?
Perhaps sensing Ye Yu’s feelings, the system voice spoke again:
“Wishes tailor-made. Use it first, then judge!”
Damn!
You’re really confident!
But Ye Yu didn’t dwell on it. What really interested him was the cyan wish.
So Ye Yu continued, “Secondly, thank you, Lord An, for your feelings. I’m willing to become your immortal partner.”
The familiar voice sounded again:
“Detected completion of An Jinqiu’s second cyan wish.”
“Reward: one Innate Beast Essence Fruit, usable on immortal beasts to greatly activate their bloodline power, with a chance to awaken additional divine abilities.”
“Beast Essence Fruit? Why isn’t it for humans?”
But this reward reminded Ye Yu of something—the Heavenly Remnant Devouring Gu insect.
Since swallowing Yun Jiexin’s Infinite Salamander, it had been dormant and hadn’t awakened.
This fruit could be fed to it.
While Ye Yu was thinking, An Jinqiu suddenly stepped forward and hugged him tightly.
She said excitedly, “Thank you, thank you.”
Looking down at her perfect profile, Ye Yu felt a sudden heart flutter.
To be honest, this Lord An was breathtakingly beautiful. He hadn’t expected to become immortal partners with her in this dream.
Ye Yu’s gaze softened. Suddenly he noticed An Jieyue looking a bit shy nearby.
“Um, I...”
Although An Jieyue’s voice was soft, An Jinqiu heard it clearly.
Only now did she suddenly recall that outside Yixing Pavilion, her younger sister had really put in great effort.
But still, was the one-plus-one idea really valid?
If Ye Yu really chose them for that reason, how would she get along with her sister afterward?
This question made An Jinqiu’s expression conflicted.
Imagining the future scenes felt a bit strange.
Ye Yu, seeing An Jieyue’s shyness, naturally thought of this question too.
He waved and said, “Second miss, no need to be nervous. I know what you said at the Yixing Pavilion gate was a joke. We don’t have to take it seriously.”
An Jieyue was slightly surprised, then agreed, “Yes, it was a joke. How could I do a one-plus-one with my sister? Ridiculous!”
Though she said so, a faint, hard-to-hide disappointment showed in her eyes.
Ye Yu saw it clearly but remained indifferent.
Honestly, whether in personality or appearance, An Jieyue didn’t compare to An Jinqiu.
Also, when choosing immortal partners, Ye Yu went by feeling.
No feeling—no acceptance. Naturally, he wouldn’t acknowledge that so-called one-plus-one.
An Jinqiu also noticed the disappointment in her sister’s eyes and frowned.
Before she could speak, Ye Yu took her hand.
“I still have things to do in Yixing Pavilion. Go back to Yourong City and wait for me. There are some things I must obtain before I can feel at ease!”
As he said this, Ye Yu put on a resolute expression.
This was to prevent An Jinqiu from overthinking.
After all, no one wanted their immortal partner to return to an old rival. There had to be an unavoidable reason.
Ye Yu deliberately spoke vaguely to leave room for imagination.
Sure enough, after hearing this, An Jinqiu immediately started imagining.
No wonder Ye Yu stayed in the fairy-filled Yixing Pavilion—it was to get certain things.
“I knew it. Mr. Ye definitely isn’t a rash person. Otherwise, so many guards in the city lord’s mansion like him, even offering themselves, yet no rumors have ever spread. This proves Mr. Ye’s character.”
Thinking this through, An Jinqiu nodded firmly.
“Alright, I’ll return now and strive to rebuild Yourong City as soon as possible. You must be careful here!”
Ye Yu smiled, “Don’t worry, I know.”
Having just become immortal partners and with An Jieyue present, the two showed no excessive affection and quickly waved goodbye.
After sending off the sisters,
Ye Yu couldn’t help but sigh, then turned and headed toward Yixing Pavilion.
In truth, what he said was true—he needed to go get some things, or he really wouldn’t feel at ease.
And those things were the fairies’ wishes.
Saying it like that made sense!
No choice, to get stronger, he’d just have to be busy.
Only... how to face Qin Xihe?
