Outside a bamboo hut about three hundred li from Duan Hun Village,
After hearing Ying Naiyan’s story, Ye Yu couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
It turned out courage really was an intermittent thing.
Half a month ago, Ying Naiyan was composed beyond measure, brave beyond all, calmly confessing her feelings.
But after returning to Duan Hun Village then,
That courage completely vanished.
Ying Naiyan began to become anxious and uncertain,
Afraid that Ye Yu would reject her.
So she stayed inside the Ghost Sect, afraid to go to Ku Han City.
Especially in recent days, Ying Naiyan almost developed an obsession, nervously plucking the petals of the Yellow Spring flower in her hand.
To go, or not to go, to go or not to go.
She struggled for days without coming to a decision.
When she first received the Yellow Spring flower, it was the 3,768th bloom.
At this moment, her Blessed Land grotto was already piled high with petals—truly a beautiful sight.
Yet she never had the courage to step outside the Ghost Sect.
All because she feared that if she met Ye Yu again, she would be rejected.
So she waited—until now.
One sentence perfectly described Ying Naiyan’s state of mind:
“Pretend to close your eyes, and you won’t see the sunlight.”
A classic case of self-deception.
Ye Yu found this very amusing.
He said immediately, “You should be braver. I never said I would reject you.”
Upon hearing this,
Ying Naiyan’s eyes instantly brightened.
Her voice trembled, “You really won’t reject me?”
Ying Naiyan was a quiet but tenacious woman.
Over thirty years of companionship, rain or shine.
She forcibly buried her feelings deep in her heart without speaking them.
If Ye Yu hadn’t asked, Ying Naiyan never thought about how long this would last.
Three hundred years? Three thousand? Thirty thousand?
She enjoyed the time with Ye Yu, even just being together made her happy.
But when the possibility of breaking that companionship appeared,
Ying Naiyan became like an ostrich, shrinking under her wings, afraid to come out, unwilling to face reality.
But now, hearing Ye Yu say this,
She instantly lost composure.
Ye Yu nodded and smiled softly, “I never intended to reject you. If you hadn’t left so suddenly last time, we would already have become Dao partners.”
“Ah? Then I wasted all this time worrying?”
Ying Naiyan covered her face with both hands, feeling very sad.
Hating herself for not staying longer in Ku Han City.
If she had stayed a bit longer, maybe she and Ye Yu would have been together for half a month by now, not wasting time anxiously all day.
Thinking this made Ying Naiyan feel like crying but had no tears.
Ye Yu stepped forward, held her delicate hand, and softly said, “It’s alright, it’s only been half a month. There’s still a long way to go.”
Feeling the strength in his hand,
Ying Naiyan was glad and nodded firmly.
Their eyes met, and the distance between them grew shorter.
Before, one was in the sky, one on the ground, dozens of meters apart.
Now finally close, they naturally would not give up.
But some things don’t go smoothly.
Like this seemingly perfect and natural moment—
“Scumbag!”
A deep male baritone sounded from the horizon.
