Double Cultivation
so you knew all along
"Stop lingering and tell me ...," Qiuyue said with a frown after Su Yang continued to look at her with a mysterious smile on his face.
Although he could not guess what was on his mind, his heart was filled with unpleasant feelings, and squeezed his hand.
"ehem hem, Once upon a time, a young female cultivator fell in love with an older cultivator .." Su Yang started telling her a story, and Qiuyue became silent.
"the female cultivator followed her as a traveling companion to seduce her, following her from city to city, continent to continent, even star to star. This female cultivator had been following the man for decades. However, despite spending so long with her, she never managed to seduce him. Why do you think something like that happens? " Su Yang looked at Qiuyue and asked.
"How do I know? Maybe he just fucked her up, or her appearance was really unattractive." Qiuyue admired the determination of this female Cultivator inwardly despite her harsh words.
Su Yang smiled and said, "the female cultivator is undoubtedly the beauty, even the best beauty."
She then continued, "Simple, really. the female cultivator believed that because of her beautiful appearance, all she needed was to stay beside the man to seduce him, and because of his mindset, she needed to be, he never shared with the man, his feelings for the man. . "
"…" Qiuyue was silent. That it?
However, after thinking about the story for a while longer, Qiuyue realized that the situation he had before was almost identical to the situation of the female cultivator in the story.
Since he was confident in his peerless appearance, it was one of the reasons why Qiuyue did not bother to share with Su Yang his feelings and just quietly followed him, hoping that she (Su Yang) will eventually fall in love with him.
Qiuyue started to sweat under his cloak. Was Su Yang trying to tell her something with this story? If he did not express his feelings to her in the four seasons Academy, would he also end up like that female cultivator in the story? Traveling with Su Yang for hundreds of years unknowingly feeling due to his own arrogance?
Qiuyue shuddered at the thought of that.
However, Su Yang continued, "This is another story …"
"Famous couple traveling together, husband and wife. They travel the world looking for something. However, one day, someone asked the husband what he really thought about his wife. And when the husband heard the question, he only expressed astonishment and confusion. He then replied with his own question, Wife? What are you talking about? I don't have a wife!' "
When Qiuyue first listened to this story, he did not think too much about it because the first story had lowered its guard.
"Why do you think her husband said that he had no wife when the whole world recognized both as husband and wife?" Su Yang then asked her.
"Because he had amnesia and forgot that he had a wife?" Qiuyue casually responded with a doubtful tone.
"That's a reasonable guess, but it's not true. Go ahead, guess what again." Su Yang could tell that Qiuyue was unaware of his intentions and chuckled.
Qiuyue frowned and started pondering – but he did not reflect on the story. Instead, he tried to figure out why Su Yang found these stories a little interesting, though, because he couldn't see it as someone to find joy in these stories that seemed meant for children.
"Wait a moment .." Qiuyue's eyes suddenly widened, almost like he had just received enlightenment, and his body began to tremble.
If the first story resembles his previous situation, then this second story might as well have been meant for him …
At this point, the smile on Su Yang's smile turned into a wide smile, and he spoke in a mysterious voice, "Oh? That's a pretty interesting reason .. Why do you think the wife did something like that?"
"…" Looking at his expression, Qiuyue realized that he was testing it and did not immediately reply. He remained silent with his head slightly lowered.
Su Yang was not in a hurry and patiently waited for him. However, the silence only made Qiuyue feel worse.
After a moment of silence, Qiuyue slowly opened his mouth, "K-Because the wife is lonely and really …"
Although the head of Qiuyue was lowered, Su Yang could tell that he had an expression that wanted to cry.
He sighed inwardly, wondering if his temptation had gone too far.
"Why are you crying? It's just a story." Su Yang said casually, sounding innocent.
"Huh?" Qiuyue looked up at him with a dumbfounded look.
"D-He doesn't know?" Qiuyue wondered inwardly.
Qiuyue was convinced that Su Yang had somehow discovered his secret identity as Su Yue, hence why he told such a story to her, but it seemed like he was too paranoid.
However, just when Su Yang was ready to tell the truth to Qiuyue, Xiao Rong, who was secretly following them from behind, opened his mouth and said, "Master, who is 'Su Yue' what do you keep thinking about?"
"…"
Both Qiuyue and Su Yang looked at him with wide eyes.
"What are you talking about?" Su Yang asked him.
But before Xiao Rong could even answer him, Su Yang remembered that Xiao Rong, as his Spiritual Beast, could hear his thoughts if he was not careful, he said, that was why it was how many people communicated their thoughts to their Spiritual Beast.
And Xiao Rong, being in the Ancient Realm as well as a savage beast who specialized in mental abilities, his mind-reading ability was much stronger than ordinary beasts.
Hearing his question, Xiao Rong looked at him with a puzzled expression. He clearly heard it from Su Yang .. or rather, inside his head.
Su Yang slowly turned his head to look at Qiuyue, and of course, Qiuyue looked at him with bloated cheeks and a frustrated expression, his face flushed red, and there were even tears in his eyes.
"So, you've known all along!" she was crying hard.
