Chapter 213 - A Good Day to Descend the Mountain
【Indeed, immersing oneself in the Dao is the most fatal.】
【When Gan Duoduo heard that Ye Yu wanted her to be his Dao companion, her face immediately flushed a deep red.】
【She quickly stood up and said: No, absolutely not!】
【Then, without waiting for Ye Yu to respond, she hurriedly fled!】
【Seeing this, a smile appeared on Ye Yu’s face.】
【Hah, so I can still handle you.】
【For the next two days, Ye Yu enjoyed a bit of peace and quiet.】
【Gan Duoduo didn’t come to bother him at all.】
【However, peaceful times never last long.】
【On the third day, Gan Duoduo took the initiative to find Ye Yu again.】
【Compared to her previous carefree attitude, this time, she seemed timid and hesitant.】
【Even her gaze was a bit evasive.】
【Ye Yu teased: What, has the Big King decided to be my Dao companion after all?】
【Gan Duoduo shook her head repeatedly.】
【No, no, no, I haven’t decided yet…】
【No, that’s not what I meant—it’s not possible.】
【Little Yu Yu, we can’t be together!】
【My situation is a bit special.】
【Hearing this, Ye Yu’s curiosity was piqued.】
【Big King, what’s so special about your situation? Let’s hear it.】
【However, the next second, Ye Yu thought of another possibility, and his face darkened instantly.】
【He spoke again: Stop, you don’t have to explain. I’m the one who doesn’t get it.】
【When it comes to being Dao companions, there are only two answers: yes or no.】
【A “special situation” is just another way of saying you don’t like me. If you don’t like me, that’s a rejection.】
【I was being presumptuous!】
【With that, Ye Yu turned to leave.】
【Damn, I never expected that Big King Gan Duoduo, who looks so soft and gentle, could speak so tactfully that she almost led me around in circles.】
【How frustrating!】
【Wait, don’t go!】
【Gan Duoduo hurriedly stepped forward to stop Ye Yu.】
【She whispered: It’s not that I don’t like you, and it’s not a rejection. It’s just that my situation is really special, and I can’t be your Dao companion.】
【Ye Yu put on a serious face.】
【So what you’re saying is, you like me, but you still can’t be my Dao companion.】
【That’s a new kind of consolation!】
【I feel comforted again, thank you.】
【Gan Duoduo shook her head repeatedly.】
【It’s not consolation, it’s the truth. How about this?】
【Give me another two years, and if everything’s fine, I’ll be your Dao companion!】
【Seeing Gan Duoduo’s conflicted expression, it seemed she really had some unspeakable difficulty.】
【This made Ye Yu very puzzled.】
【What’s really going on with you? Why do you need two years?】
【Gan Duoduo hesitated, wanting to say something but stopping herself.】
【With a heavy heart, she said: Don’t ask so many questions.】
【As soon as the words left her mouth, Gan Duoduo instantly vanished from where she stood.】
【Ye Yu couldn’t help but furrow his brows slightly.】
【When things are unusual, there must be something amiss!】
【Gan Duoduo had always been lively and cheerful.】
【Why had she suddenly become so troubled?】
【Two years, what on earth is going to happen in two years?】
【Ye Yu couldn’t figure it out, but he didn’t dwell on it.】
【Two years is just a blink of an eye for a cultivator.】
【Since he couldn’t get an answer, he decided to wait for now!】
【Then, Ye Yu once again used his Auspicious Fortune talent.】
【Soon, two illusory bamboo slips appeared.】
【After flipping them over, Ye Yu looked up to the sky and let out a deep sigh.】
【”Medium-low fortune: stay on the mountain and all will be well.”】
【 “Lower fortune: Descend the mountain today, and you’ll die without a burial place!”】
【Two hundred years, two whole centuries!】
【Almost every lot had conveyed the same message.】
【Descend the mountain, and you’ll die without a burial place!】
【What in the world is going on?】
【Is he really doomed to stay on Wangyou Mountain for the rest of his life, bitterly cultivating?】
【Though he felt quite disheartened, Ye Yu ultimately decided to obediently heed the warning.】
【This fortune-seeking ability probably isn’t wrong.】
【To continue his cultivation in the dream, Ye Yu had no choice but to stay.】
【At the age of 217, Ye Yu broke through to another minor realm, reaching the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.】
【Over the past year, ever since Ye Yu and Gan Duoduo made their two-year agreement, Gan Duoduo had become quite shy.】
【She rarely came to find Ye Yu anymore.】
【Sometimes, she wouldn’t appear for several months.】
【What Ye Yu didn’t know was: Gan Duoduo had actually been watching him from the shadows every day.】
【And it was during that autumn, Gan Duoduo suddenly announced that she was preparing to enter seclusion.】
【This news left all the little demons on Wangyou Mountain utterly incredulous.】
【Since joining Wangyou Mountain, they had never seen Gan Duoduo cultivate.】
【This point, Ye Yu could attest to.】
【In two hundred years, Gan Duoduo had done nothing but play and have fun. She didn’t seem to know the meaning of cultivation.】
【To reach this level of mischief, truly no one could compare!】
【So why had she suddenly decided to enter seclusion?】
【Ye Yu was extremely curious, but in front of everyone, he didn’t ask too many questions.】
【That night, Gan Duoduo found Ye Yu alone, claiming that she would begin her seclusion that very night.】
【If all went well, when she emerged next year, she would be willing to become Ye Yu’s Dao companion.】
【Ye Yu felt a surge of heat in his heart.】
【Previously, he had indeed been joking with Gan Duoduo, but if he could really become Dao companions with her, there was no way Ye Yu would refuse.】
【With such a tall and slender figure, an absolutely stunning face, and a soft, melodious voice.】
【Which man could possibly resist?】
【Ahem, two hundred years, that’s enough to cultivate feelings over time.】
【So, Ye Yu seriously stated: I’ll wait for you.】
【Gan Duoduo revealed a smile.】
【Then she said earnestly: If I haven’t emerged from seclusion by next summer, then don’t wait for me. Immediately descend the mountain and leave this place!】
【Ye Yu nodded, not quite understanding.】
【Just as he was about to speak, Gan Duoduo had already left.】
【Ye Yu pondered for a moment, feeling a bit melancholic.】
【He guessed that Gan Duoduo must be practicing some life-threatening technique.】
【Or perhaps she was poisoned.】
【That’s why she set a two-year deadline.】
【If she makes it through, everything will be fine, and she can naturally become his Dao companion.】
【If she doesn’t make it, then it’s all over.】
【This must be Gan Duoduo’s hidden difficulty.】
【Ye Yu slowly exhaled.】
【He hoped Gan Duoduo would be safe and sound!】
【After all, he was quite fond of this mountain king!】
【Time passed.】
【In the blink of an eye, over half a year had gone by.】
【Summer.】
【On Wangyou Mountain.】
【Ye Yu looked at the place where Gan Duoduo was in seclusion.】
【He couldn’t help but furrow his brows.】
【There was still a month and a half left.】
【Summer would soon end.】
【Could it be that Gan Duoduo hadn’t overcome this trial?】
【Ye Yu was immediately troubled.】
【He used his talent again and did a divination.】
【”Medium-low fortune: Descend the mountain today, head south, and safety can be ensured.”】
【 “Lower fortune: Stay on the mountain, and life or death is uncertain, fortune and misfortune intertwined!”】
【Ye Yu couldn’t help but widen his eyes. Can he descend the mountain now?】
【And staying on the mountain today is ill-advised?】
【What on earth is going on?】
【Just as Ye Yu was thinking, Wangyou Mountain trembled violently.】
【The summit suddenly exploded, and a figure shot out rapidly.】
【Then it hovered in the air.】
【It was Gan Duoduo, just emerging from seclusion.】
【She wore a black robe, exuding an air of cold and unmatched elegance!】
