The tone of Jiu Fang Jie's voice was too pathos, his expression too depressed, and every strand of hair was full of depression.
Yue Ge laughed in her heart for a while, but she couldn't help but feel a little bit of sympathy for this unlucky boy, feeling a little bit miserable.
After all, unlike the original, he wasn't quite the scum he was at the moment.
This made her feel a little guilty about her own gloating ....
So Echigo tried not to look gloating and said with a straight face, "So what does Jiu Fang senior think of the relationship between a woman and a woman?"
Jiu Fang Jie was in a trance for a moment, shook his head and said with a firm expression, "For a close friend, for a sister, for a close friend, for a soulmate ... but not for a lover!"
The most important thing is that you have to be aware of what you are doing.
She said without haste, "Why do you think so?"
"Yin and Yang are the right way to be ... together," said Jiu Fang Jie, his eyes widening in disbelief. "Even ordinary people, not to mention practitioners, know this."
"Yin and Yang are in harmony," Yue Ge pondered. "In that case, I am practising the Yang path of Geng Jin, and Ah Zhu is practising the Yin power of ice - this Yin and Yang, aren't we a pair made in heaven and a pair made in earth?"
Jiu Fang Jie turned red and said, "I mean both sexes! Men and women can practice both sexes to attain the supreme path together ..."
Yue Ge then asked with a smile on his face, "Is there no such thing as dual cultivation between women?"
"Could there be?!" Jiu Fang Xuan Ling made a shocked sound.
"How come there isn't ..." Yue Ge covered her mouth with her sleeve, a thin layer of red rising to her face. "Azhu and I, at least, are an explicitly married couple, so naturally we have ... been."
The expression on Jiu Fang Jie's face now was as if the sky was falling and the ground was just like that.
The more you go, the more you'll be able to do. I can't leave Azhu for a moment ..."
After a pause, she added shyly, "If I'm not around, Azhu will be upset too."
九方渣:"..."
So Yue Ge walked away with a flourish, leaving Jiu Fang Jie alone in the cold wind.
------
Yue Ge had not gone far when she bumped into Zhu Yu.
She was standing under a spirit tree, her silver eyes half closed, revealing a line of silver crystal-like pupils.
Hearing Yue Ge's footsteps approaching, she lifted her head and asked plaintively, "What is it that Jiu Fang said?"
"It's just a small matter, nothing to worry about." Yue Ge smiled and walked forward, straightening Zhu Yu's hair: "The hairpin is crooked."
Zhu Yu let her pound on the top of his head and continued to ask, "Is it something that I cannot know about?"
"Why not, if you want to know, there's no harm in telling me for a laugh."
While putting that spirit pin on properly, Yue Ge, in a light-hearted tone, gave a brief account of the argument between her and Jiu Fang Jie.
After telling them, Yue Ge added with a smile, "Naturally, nothing has happened between you and me. But Jiu Fang's words really upset me, so I thought I would dislike him."
"In my opinion, love is a word ... that should not be limited to gender. Jiuzhang's view is too biased and narrow."
Zhu Yu listened quietly and said thoughtfully, "That is indeed true. The phrase "Yin and Yang are in harmony" was originally only a part of cultivation that needed attention, not a distinction between men and women, and it was Jiu Fang who misunderstood."
She was with me.
Without even noticing it herself, Yue Ge secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhu Yu continued, "However, if you want to double cultivate, there is nothing wrong with that, it's just that I don't have the gongfu on my head-"
"Wait, double cultivation ...? Who do I double cultivate with?"
Yue Ge didn't sound quite right, so she interrupted her and asked in shock.
Zhu Yu was also puzzled, "Naturally with me, who else could it be?"
Yue Ge: "..."
Yue Ge took a deep breath, "I don't quite understand what you mean ..."
If she remembered correctly, they were married, right?
No, a shaped marriage wasn't even a shaped marriage, it was just a shaped betrothal.
The most important thing was that there was really a dual cultivation technique between a woman and a woman ...?!
She just casually said it to scam Jiu Fang slag ah!
Seeing that Yue Ge was speechless for a long time, Zhu Yu's expression gradually became cold.
"Or do you want to double cultivate with someone else?"
... met Zhu Yu's cold and compelling gaze, Yue Ge finally felt that something was wrong.
------
The team that was going to participate in the martial competition trained at the Dongming Academy's martial arts arena.
At this time by the martial arts arena, although there are not many cultivators travelling ... but still, it is not the place to talk.
The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who are not able to get a good deal on a lot of things.
Yue Ge let her pull her, her thoughts darted around, thinking back to when exactly things had gone wrong.
Reasonably, with Qianxian dance bent and an old flame, she felt it was nothing.
If Ling Tao, White Haunted, Water Blue Carp are bent, she will only secretly laugh and count the cuckolds on her head for the Jiu Fang slag.
But Zhu Yu ... is the only one who is most unlikely.
Rather than saying that it is impossible for her to bend, it would be better to say that Zhu Yu does not look like she would have someone in mind, independent of her gender.
Yue Ge even thinks she is asexual ...
Even in the original story, when she was taken advantage of by Jiu Fang Jie by accident, she never showed the same daughterly attitude towards him as the other harems.
She has always been cold and self-possessed, and has treated Jiu Fang Jie with love and disregard. Even the signs of sourness that were vaguely visible in the course of time spent with several other sisters were never present in her.
Even though her attitude towards Jiu Fang Jie had softened ... from the beginning, it was more like treating her partner with the same detachment, not far from her.
So, it can't be -?
Zhu Yu saw her dumbfounded and didn't say anything, just sat down on her knees and waited for her to come back to her senses.
Of course, Yue Ge didn't keep her waiting for long either.
Yue Ge sat down opposite Zhu Yu, originally subconsciously with her legs together, and sensing that something was wrong, she also hurriedly changed to a cross-knee sitting posture.
"Zhu Yu, do you ... please me with your heart?"
"I don't know." Zhu Yu replied crisply.
Ah, the case is broken, really still can't like people ...
Yue Ge lowered his eyes.
However ...
"I don't know if your definition of 'heart-pleasing', of 'adoration', is the same as mine." Zhu Yu then finished.
Those silver eyes, staring intently at Yue Ge.
Yue Ge tried to look away, but the opposite gaze seemed to have magical power, locking her tightly, making her unable to turn her eyes even a little.
After the clear and clean silver eyes gradually sank ...
The first time I saw you, I realized that the mist in Zhu Yu's silvery white eyes had dissipated at some point.
"I like watching you cook."
--That's because you're a foodie endowed with racial attributes!
"I like it when you're near me."
--"Isn't it normal for there to be only two Sky Spirit Shuras in the world, and there may not be another one in a million years?
They are of the same race!
"I want to catch you."
--Eh ...?
Zhu Yu tilted his head.
"... It's just a metaphor for wanting you to stay with me ... and not go anywhere."
As if catching some loophole, Yue Ge suddenly relaxed -- right, if he said that, he must be joking.
How could it be that she wanted to stay by her side ... before, and she had unceremoniously driven herself out of the calendar wasn't it?
I don't think I'm a joker, but I think I'm a big joker. ...
--The actual fact is that you will be able to get a lot more than just a few of these.
Even if Yue Ge spits out more to relieve stress, he can't lie to himself and say it's just a joke.
And let's not even talk about whether Zhu Yu is the one who would have a trick mind, just look at her eyes ...
It was too serious, that look.
Yue Ge heard his voice ask dryly, "Maybe it's just your illusion ... Think about it, from the beginning to now, I've been the only one around you, haven't I? Maybe you're just confused ..."
In that case, the days they had spent together were just over a year.
Zhu Yu returned flatly, "There have never been many people who wanted to get close to me, it was me who didn't want to let them get close - you are different."
Yue Ge unconsciously clenched her double.
From the very beginning, the irrationality had always been there, but she hadn't noticed.
If Zhu Yu, who was a lonely and cold person by nature, had so easily allowed her to come with her to Dongming Academy and stay in her small courtyard ...
The first time she arrived, there should not have been even a single servant to clean and cook the meals in the courtyard.
Or perhaps, still before that, Zhu Yu's personality should not have allowed himself ... to bind her to a place with a marriage contract that was supposedly witnessed by the gods.
What was Zhu Yu thinking at that time?
Was it love at first sight? A so-called good feeling when he didn't even know her as a person?
But she had never believed in love at first sight.
Zhu Yu leaned in close and raised her white fingers, stopping two inches in front of Yue Ge's body.
After waiting for a moment and seeing no reaction from Yue Ge, she gently tapped her fingertips on the side of Yue Ge's face.
The always cold brow softened, and her light-coloured lips parted slightly, letting out a very soft, contented sigh.
Her heart was cold when she should have been young and enamoured.
But at an age when most people have tasted love and then settled down, her heart moved.
"Now, we are officially in love." Zhu Yu announced.
Yue Ge grabbed her wrist and gently pushed it away.
"I think you may have some misconceptions about two lovers being in love." Yue Ge smiled, the corners of her mouth lifting at just the right angle.
Zhu Yu frowned, waiting down in silence.
"I don't think I've ever felt affection for you before." Yue Ge continued.
"If my actions have caused you to misunderstand ... me, I am sorry."
Zhu Yu stared at her, "You said you have adored me since you were young."
Yue Ge said annoyed: "That was just a made up line, the words seem to be in the book, excerpted from-"
"But when you were young, you did visit me often." Zhu Yu's tone was insistent.
It wasn't her!
It was only a year ago that she had descended upon the Asura clan for their mate selection ceremony!
Yue Ge was still smiling: "If I really had feelings for you-"
You should have stopped those evil children from bullying you then, shouldn't you?
She couldn't say the last words, otherwise it would have been like stabbing someone in the wound ...
The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you're doing.
She crossed her heart and closed her eyes and said, "Anyway, I won't--"
I won't promise you!
Do you know what kind of person I really am?
Do you know what I am thinking under my gentle smile?
Do you know where my soul comes from?
"--will not give you an answer now."
Zhu Yu raised his eyes slightly.
Yue Ge let out a deep sigh.
"Let me think about it, give me some time to think it over."
With these words, and without looking at Zhu Yu, she got up in silence and went back to her room.
Gently closing the door behind her.
