"What if Heimao wants to marry your Master too?" Yao Shen asks, smirking at the angry little caterpillar.
Clearly Jincan hasn't considered that option, he waves his tiny legs in the air for a moment, but eventually says, "By the time Heimao has cultivated a human form, Jincan will have already married Master."
Yao Shen chuckles. "You've really thought this through, uh?"
He has an idea, then. "What about Yan Shuyi? Isn't he who your Master loves?"
Jincan gives him a puzzled look. "Master's Shizun is dead. He has even less of a chance than Heimao."
Yao Shen goes very still. He isn't necessarily surprised by the revelation. If even a fraction of 'Shizun, this disciple will have to kill you' is true, then Xin Hulei would never voluntarily be away from Yan Shuyi. It just wouldn't happen, after all the hardship they went through to stay together.
