Chapter 37 - My...Dream?

The Wolf Demon King looked at the demonic cultivators. 

"You want to serve me?"

"Y-yes!"

"HaHAHAHA!" He laughed and the other demons also laughed. 

"Don't give yourself so much value humans. To us, you're all just food and pets for us to play with."

They shiver as killing intent filled the room. 

"However...."

He looks through them.

"Sure, why not."

Everyone paused in shock.

"Only if you exterminate the Tianzhen folks. Then I'll think about it."

"Alright!"

They all cheered on and the wolf king scoffs. 

'All of you should just die like the pests you are."

....

.....

....

Yang Su thought about yesterday over and over again. Now armed with her new knowledge, she was thinking about getting rid of rival tribes. At first, she wanted to eat Jian Yu, but after hearing eh dealt with demonic skills....She didn't want his heart in her stomach. 

As long as she got Jian Yu's love, as long as she's the only one that supports him....Won't he become her personal killing machine?

With a newfound resolve and goal, she plans on gaining his love.

....

....

....

Jian Yu sat in the living room reading a bamboo book. He sighs. 

Yang Su from out of nowhere jumps on him and hugs him....was what she planned, but he turned to smoke and causing her to trip and soon falling straight to the wall. 

"Watch out!"

Jian Yu reappeared and held her waist to stop her from falling. They both felt their hearts racing unexpectedly.

They rebalanced and Jian Yu lets go.

"...You okay?" He asks awkwardly.

"...Yeah...." She then blushes and hugs him again from the front.

This time he doesn't turn to smoke in fear of an accident. 

She looks up to him and asks, "Husband, I missed you!"

He laughs a little to his surprise, but then cut off any emotion. "Miss Yang, I will be dying in less than a month, it's best to start getting used to missing me." 

Jian Yu then unravels her and turns to smoke. 

Yang Su smiles. "This works too?" 

She had seen his reaction. Just a little more.

....

The next day.

"Husband, I cooked chicken, duck, and pigeons. What's your favorite dish? I'll cook it tomorrow!"

Jian Yu smiles a little and cuts off his emotions. "Miss Yang, there's no point in cooking for a dead man." Then turns to smoke. 

....

The next day.

"Husband, this coat looks cute don't you think!?"

"It looks good....but there's no point in showing it to a dead man."

Then turns to smoke.

.....

....

....

The 20th day. 

"Husband how is my cultivation? Hiyah!" She had been learning Tianzhen cultivation skills in her free time and decided to show off as well as act cute.

"Pff...You look funny. Also what was that? Hiyah?" He was smiling. 

"Mmmmm, teach me!" Her head looked down and her eyes looked up, making her look cute and pitiful. 

'Can't resist can you?' she thought. 

Jian Yu had a thought for a second and said, "....Why are you so proactive lately?"

Ever since he had told her his story, she had been cooking, showing off, trying to get intimate, and all sorts of things. 

They both sat down on a bench together.

"Actually...I've fallen in love with husband." She turned away with a blush as if it was an embarrassing thought, but she also added flare to it by holding her hand up slightly. 

"...sigh~ why bother with a-"

"-Dead man!" She finished the sentence. "I've heard that everyday. So why do you think I'm still doing this?"

"..For fun?"

"Sigh~ Husband..." She held his arm close to her chest. Jian Yu learned early on that she might get in a accident if he suddenly turns to smoke, so he just let her do what she wants. 

"I do this because I love you! If I didn't love you would I do all of this? It's not fun being rejected all the time y'know." She rests her head comfortably on his shoulder. 

Jian Yu looks up at the sky, "Even when I'm dying in a month?"

This time instead of answering right away, there was a slight hesitation and tears starts to fall out. "...I'm sad...you will die....But I think I would regret it if I didn't stay by your side for the remaining time."

Jian Yu feels a tinge of pain in his heart. He clenches his clothes. Without knowing how to respond he says, "I see..."

However that didn't bother her.

As they sat their without a care in the world, the wind seemed to blow all their troubles away. It felt like they had forgotten everything that troubled them. Their breaths began to coincide and intertwine. They felt at peace as they felt each others warmth. 

With both of their eyes closed, she asks. 

"Hey...Husband...What's your dream?"

He starts leaning on her head with his as well and says, "My dream..."

She waits for him to answer, not wanting to rush him. 

"My dream...If I could have a dream...I want to have the greatest cultivation and live how I want. I want to see all the sights and I want to live in peace."

As he says that, he starts breathing more and felt like he was hitting his breakthrough in realms. However, he himself didn't know this. 

"What about you?" For the first time...Jian Yu expressed a want to know her. 

"Me?"

"Hmm."

"...." She thought about it, but couldn't come up with an answer. 

She had never really thought about what she had wanted. All this time, she was just trying to survive in this hectic world. Even her family was like tools to her in order to get the upper hand.

Yang Su, Su Su could only live if she took advantaged of others. It was impossible to live the way you want in this chaotic world.

But if she was able to get away from that and live the way she wanted then....

If she had a dream then it would be that she wanted....

"I wished this moment would last forever."

At the very least for now, this was what she really wanted. She also thought to herself, that this wasn't so bad if this lasted till the end of time. 

She breathed in and felt a breakthrough in her realms which she didn't notice.
