When he heard this, Ye Yu was shocked. Hurriedly turning his head to read the words in the booklet, and as he saw the thousand-years-old Bone Forging Milk, his pupils shrank. “Body forging and bone refining materials are extremely rare, let alone thousand-years-old—”

Li Jinzhi nodded, glanced sideways at the head that was rather close to him, thought of his previous speculations, and drew back unnaturally.

Feeling the other’s withdrawal, under his lowered eyelids, Ye Yu’s scarlet eyes couldn’t help but dim slightly. In his heart, the disappointment and a little bit of unwillingness mixed together, forming an inexpressible emotion.

Obviously, Li Jinzhi perceived the stiffness of the person beside him. He saw that the other maintained his original motion and lowered his eyelids. The booklet, however, was brought out of position long before he stepped back, so the other side’s eyes didn’t even fall on it at all.

That kind of stiffness gave the other party a slight atmosphere of loneliness.

Li Jinzhi paused. Still unable to endure the sourness that flooded his heart, he clenched his fingers tightly, and asked in a somewhat repressed tone of voice, “Ye Yu, you… do you have someone you like?” His voice was very soft, if he didn’t add a name, it would be more like mumbling to himself.

Ye Yu froze for a moment, then abruptly raised his head. The silver-haired man was reflected in his crimson eyes, as he murmured in reply, “Yes.” His tone was firm, without hesitation.

Pursing his lips, the corners of Li Jinzhi’s mouth curled up unnaturally, “How much do you like them?” He knew that once the window paper was pierced, it would be impossible to go back to the time when he knew nothing. There were only two paths before him.

Accept.

Or reject.

When Ye Yu heard Li Jinzhi’s question, he didn’t answer right away. He lowered his eyelids, as if he was thinking about how to express his feelings, and then spoke again, in a soft and tender tone, “He is the only one.” Those were not words of love, but in four short words, he encompassed all of his longing and affection.

Hearing this, the corners of Li Jinzhi’s eyes stung. Li Jinzhi only had Ye Yu too!

When he came to this place and entered this world of cultivation, whether he was in a dangerous situation or entered a secret realm to kill insects, he was always accompanied only by the other party. If another person had to be added, he wouldn’t necessarily be happy about it.

But could such feelings be regarded as love?

Could his brotherly affection for Ye Yu be confused with love?

He didn’t know.

His eyelids still lowered, Ye Yu said slowly, “Together, we grew up, withstood tribulations, cultivated, wandered the world. When I put all of my expectations, attention, attachments, and thoughts on him, I was not satisfied. I want more. I want the recognition of the Heavenly Law. I want to properly accompany, possess, this—” Suddenly looking up, his red eyes stared closely at Li Li Jinzhi’s, and asked, “Is it too much?”

Li Jinzhi stared at the other party’s scarlet eyes that seemed to be dripping blood, subconsciously shook his head, and whispered in reply, “It’s not too much.” As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he had just finished comprehending the other party’s words. His heart, however, had soured.

When he first met Ye Yu, the other was still a boy with pure eyes, but it was this boy who rescued him from the dangers of the icy water; who saved him from the mouths of ghosts in the secret realm; who gave him the only Bone-Growing grass after falling into the sea. He himself was so seriously injured that he couldn’t even maintain his human form.

Later, the two people’s situation gradually improved, but the other party had never expressed a desire to leave. They fought against enemies together, escaped together, and fought together in the insects’ cave.

The more Li Jinzhi remembered, the more panicked his face became. It seemed that after coming here, all his memories, all his concerns and ties were about Ye Yu. Even during the year and a half without contact, the belief that supported his day-to-day hard work was about Ye Yu.

Unwittingly, had the other person become so important in his heart?

Looking down at Ye Yu, who was staring at him, Li Jinzhi’s breathing was a little rushed. The other party was the true cold-blooded and unfeeling villain from the original novel. He slaughtered the entire Li clan; he assisted the Demonic cultivators in the war, leading to the defeat of the Immortal sects; finally, at the map of the Great Source desert, Ye Yu activated the first secret instance and vanished, until at last he appeared next to the protagonist, and seized the bloodline of the original male lead—

But now, the other said that he was the only one.

What if he wasn’t there? Will the other party turn back into the cold-blooded villain from the original book who would do anything to achieve his goals? Must the protagonist fight the antagonist? Just for that reason? In that way?

Hearing Li Jinzhi’s answer, Ye Yu’s eyes lit up. After waiting quietly for a while, his eyes became more and more aggrieved. At last, the scarlet eyes were entirely suffused with a faint watery light. “Then, do you think he will say yes?”

Li Jinzhi closed his dry eyes, his heart softened slightly. Perhaps in his heart, Ye Yu had long been different, “I don’t know.”

He didn’t know what went wrong, and he didn’t know if he would be able to adapt to the change in his relationship with Ye Yu.

After all, marrying a male wife, whether he could still get an erection, was also a very serious question. When all was said and done, he had some difficulties being affected by soft girls now—

He thought of the trust that the two of them fully had in each other; thought of the property they jointly owned; then he thought about the fact that he didn’t want Ye Yu to look for a Dao companion. And since he had Ye Yu, the idea of seeking a Dao companion had never occurred to him.

His heart felt a bit weak as Li Jinzhi looked up and saw the pitiful little eyes of the other party. He raised his hand and touched the other’s head, sighed in resignation, and said, “Maybe he needs some time.”

Feeling the chill on his head, Ye Yu’s eyes shone, and he rubbed his head against the palm, looking content, “En.” I have plenty of time.

Seeing the other party’s expression, Li Jinzhi withdrew his hand, somewhat embarrassed. He bent down to pick up the booklet that fell on the floor, and asked with a serious face, “Then we choose the Myriad Red Clouds Sect, right?”

Ye Yu leaned to his side and rested his chin on Li Jinzhi’s shoulder. “En, I will listen to you.”

“…” Li Jinzhi’s hand holding the booklet trembled imperceptibly. Resisting the urge to tear the other person off his body, he stood up pretending to be calm and walked towards the bed, “Then adjust tonight and come out tomorrow.” The sight from behind him was like a thorn in his back. Li Jinzhi’s heart was broken.

Ye Yu had been with Li Jinzhi for so long, if he didn’t even know what he couldn’t do, it would really be a waste of time.

Now, seeing the other’s fleeing back, walking with a stiff posture, Ye Yu slowly sat upright. The aggrieved expression had not yet subsided, but a determined smile appeared on his face that was as beautiful as a jade.

Since it was confirmed that the other was not indifferent to him; since the other was not willing to abandon him; and since his position in the other’s heart was not lowered, he had no more concerns.

The next morning, a red and white evading light flew out from the direction of the Merging Cliffs city. The speed was incomparably fast. It directly overcame some of the slower lights, heading northwest.

In the Evading Light, Li Jinzhi’s expression was serious, as if he was concentrating all of his attention on flying; his eyes, however, were slightly unfocused, clearly distracted—

Beside him, Ye Yu put a jade slip to his forehead, and seemed to be earnestly looking up the route.

The two were extremely close together, with the wide robe sleeves hanging down naturally, covering the hands that the two held together…

“With the two of us working together to control the Evading Light, the speed is really fast.” Ye Yu glanced at the person beside him, and praised.

“…” Li Jinzhi nodded thoughtfully, but did not speak.
