Chapter 468: Who Would Dare to Turn Me Away?
After a while, Ye Guan returned the letter into the envelope and put it away.
Then, he turned to the two women behind him and said, "She\'s going to be okay."
Cishu nodded, but Cirou was silent as she lowered her head and looked down at the ground.
Ye Guan grabbed Cirou\'s hand and spoke with conviction, "Trust me."
Cirou gazed up at Ye Guan as tears welled up in her eyes. Ye Guan wiped her tears away and reassured, "If I fail, I\'ll give up my pursuit of invincibility and become the King of Relying on Others instead. I\'ll do it if that\'s what it takes to keep her safe."
More and more tears dripped down Cirou\'s cheeks.
Ye Guan chuckled at the sight before asking, "Why are you crying?"
Cirou shook her head, refusing to answer.
Ye Guan suggested, "Let\'s sleep."
The two women blushed instantly as Ye Guan carried them one by one and laid them down gently on the bed. Ye Guan sat in the middle of the two women and felt incredibly comfortable. This was a scenario that only a few people could enjoy.
Cirou felt a bit uneasy. She tried to get up, but Ye Guan grabbed her hand and said, "Stay put!"
Cirou glanced at Ye Guan.
Ye Guan reassured her, saying, "Relax, I\'m not going to do anything bad."
Cirou hesitated briefly before scooting a bit farther from Ye Guan.
"Will you accompany me to the Eternal Night Realm?" Ye Guan asked.
Cirou shook her head. "No."
Ye Guan looked at her, seemingly asking for an explanation.
Cirou replied, "We still have to get ready to confront the Time Reversers, so I have to go back to the True Universe."
"I see. Indeed, the True Universe truly needs your guidance," Ye Guan replied. Then, he turned to Cishu and muttered, "Little Shu..."
Cishu smiled. "Don’t worry, I will take care of myself and the child."
Ye Guan\'s hand stroked Cishu\'s abdomen. Cishu neither resisted nor scolded him for it. Cishu wasn\'t exactly the reserved type, and she had already given herself to him, so a light stroking was nothing.
"I didn\'t expect to become a father so soon," Ye Guan said.
Cishu looked up at Ye Guan and asked, "Are you happy?"
Ye Guan nodded. "Yes, I am very happy."
Cishu\'s eyes narrowed into a smile, but she soon glared at Ye Guan upon realizing that his hand was sliding downward. However, Ye Guan showed no signs of giving up; Cishu\'s cheeks flushed.
Cirou noticed that and said, "Why don\'t you guys have fun here? I\'ll sleep in another room."
Cishu shot a disapproving look at Ye Guan and signaled at him discreetly.
Ye Guan stopped Cirou before she could stand up. Cirou\'s expression was calm, and she didn\'t say anything as Ye Guan laid her gently on the bed.
"Let\'s talk. Who knows when we\'ll meet each other again?"
Cirou nodded and asked, "Do you trust the Great Daoist Brush Master?"
Ye Guan nodded. "I do."
"Why?"
Ye Guan explained, "Aunt wouldn\'t have released him if he were a threat to me."
Cirou was silent.
Ye Guan shared his thoughts, saying, "He is not evil. We can choose not to work with him, but we must ensure that he doesn\'t stand on the Past Clan\'s side."
Cirou nodded in acknowledgment. Things would become incredibly dangerous for them if the Great Daoist Brush Master decided to stand on the Past Clan\'s side.
Cirou recalled something and asked, "What about the Eternal Night Empire?"
Ye Guan replied, "Sister Zhen had mentioned them to me, and she told me that the Eternal Night Empire is located in a place fortified with many restrictions, preventing outsiders from entering and its denizens from leaving so easily."
"If the Great Daoist Brush Master hasn\'t lied to me, then the Eternal Night Array is going to be incredibly useful to us."
The True Universe and the Guanxuan Universe would find it difficult to handle the Time Reversers, so the Eternal Night Array would be immensely helpful to them.
Ye Guan\'s face revealed deep concern as he thought about the upcoming battle. He had no confidence at all, considering the prowess of the Past Clan\'s clan leader.
Cirou noticed the tumultuous emotions inside Ye Guan, and she took the initiative to hold his hand before reassuring him softly, "No matter what, we\'ll stand by your side."
Ye Guan turned to meet Cirou\'s gaze, and Cirou immediately looked away.
Ye Guan smiled lightly and closed his eyes. The Dao he had chosen—the Invincible Sword Dao was proving to be a challenging one.
After a while, Ye Guan was reminded of something, and he said, "Little Rou, I want you to reach out to Aunt Niannian and tell her everything."
The Guanxuan Universe had to be prepared as well.
Cirou nodded. "You don’t need to worry about the True Universe and the Guanxuan Universe. I\'ll take care of them."
Ye Guan chuckled and smiled brightly. "I\'m not worried; I have faith in you, after all!"
Cirou\'s heart fluttered at Ye Guan\'s bright smile.
The trio talked to each other until sleep finally embraced them.
However, Ye Guan found the experience to be both heavenly and hellish at the same time. He regretted sleeping together with both of them on his side. He couldn\'t do anything, as the other would get up and attempt to leave if he were to try and do something on the other.
When Ye Guan opened his eyes once more, the room was still shrouded in darkness. Ye Guan looked out the window and noticed Cirou lying peacefully in his embrace. Cirou was dressed in a qipao[1], a distinctive clothing found only on the Blue Planet. The qipao stuck closely to her skin, accentuating her captivating figure.
The sight ignited a fire within Ye Guan. After a brief contemplation, he turned and lowered his lips to kiss Cirou. Ye Guan kissed her gently, but it was a kiss full of unspoken emotions.
Cirou opened her eyes slowly and met Ye Guan\'s gaze. However, she didn\'t say anything upon realizing that he was kissing her. Ye Guan took Cirou\'s silence as acknowledgment, so Ye Guan became bolder.
As the atmosphere grew more and more intimate, Ye Guan\'s lips and hands became increasingly more playful. Cirou bit Ye Guan\'s lip, unable to withstand Ye Guan\'s daring movements.
Ye Guan backed away and stared at Cirou\'s flushed face.
"If you want to do it, Little Shu should—"
Ye Guan shook his head.
Cirou was a bit uneasy. "What are you..."
Ye Guan hugged Cirou and asked, "You\'re not comfortable with all this, are you?"
Cirou lowered her head without a word, but she scooted away from Ye Guan.
Ye Guan noticed that and sighed. Then, he let go of Cirou and said, "I apologize."
Ye Guan had no intention of forcing those unwilling. Ye Guan could also sense that Cirou still had some reservations about him. The entire room went silent as Ye Guan sprawled out on the bed and closed his eyes.
Cirou tugged at Ye Guan\'s sleeve.
Ye Guan turned to Cirou.
"Are you upset?" Cirou asked.
Ye Guan shook his head.
Cirou stared quietly at Ye Guan.
Ye Guan pondered briefly before saying, "I may have deduced your feelings for me wrongly, as I made a deduction based on our past interactions. I apologize for that. Anyway, we have a common goal of helping Sister Zhen, so I believe we can still work together as friends or partners for a common goal."
Cirou stared at Ye Guan; she wanted to say something, but she found herself unable to speak.
Ye Guan looked out the window and saw that it was daybreak. He glanced at Cishu, who was sound asleep, before standing up and heading into the bathroom. Ye Guan freshened up with cold water.
When Ye Guan stepped out of the bathroom, he found Cishu and Cirou standing in front of him.
Ye Guan was surprised to see them.
Cishu stared at Ye Guan with narrowed eyes. "Were you planning on leaving without saying goodbye?"
Ye Guan chuckled. "Of course not. Besides, a trip to the Eternal Night Empire won\'t take much time. If everything goes smoothly, I won\'t have to stay there for a long time. Otherwise, I\'ll immediately go back."
Cishu walked up to Ye Guan and tiptoed to fix his messy collar. Then, Cishu leaned closer to his ear and whispered, "Take care, all right. If things start to feel off, don\'t hesitate to make a break for it, okay?"
"I\'m going with the Great Daoist Brush Master, so don\'t worry," Ye Guan said, chuckling. "That guy definitely has a few tricks up his sleeve."
"Still, it\'s better to err on the side of caution," Cishu replied.
Ye Guan nodded and hugged Cishu. "Look after yourself and the little one. If there\'s ever any danger, I want you to head to the Guanxuan Universe and seek out Senior An\'s help."
Ye Guan was talking about An Nanjing with an incredibly powerful backer, who was none other than Ye Guan\'s grandfather.
Cishu nodded.
Ye Guan kissed Cishu’s lips and finally turned to Cirou. "Lady Cirou, I\'ll leave the True Universe, the Guanxuan Universe, and Little Shu in your care."
With that, Ye Guan wasted no time and vanished into thin air.
Cirou lowered her head and went silent.
Cishu held Cirou\'s hand and sighed to herself, saying nothing. Cishu knew that Ye Guan was now regarding Cirou as a friend or a partner with a common goal by addressing Cirou as "Lady Cirou."
Unfortunately, it wasn\'t a matter Cishu could get involved in.
"Second Sister, let\'s go," Cishu said.
Cirou nodded, and the two vanished into thin air.
...
Ye Guan soon arrived in the starry sky above the Milky Way.
A middle-aged man was standing in that patch of the starry sky, waiting for him.
The Great Daoist Brush Master eyed Ye Guan and said. "How handsome. You\'re perfect for a marriage alliance."
"Senior, I heard that outsiders can\'t enter the Eternal Night Empire. Can we really get in there?" Ye Guan asked.
The Great Daoist Brush Master burst out laughing and said, "Have you already forgotten my identity? Who would dare to turn me away?"
Ye Guan narrowed his eyes at the Great Daoist Brush Master\'s words.
"If that\'s the case, then it\'s great," Ye Guan remarked.
The Great Daoist Brush Master smiled proudly and said, "Let’s go."
The two soon disappeared into the depths of the starry sky.
...
Milky Way Academy.
Xuanyuan Ling arrived early at the Sword Dao Department, feeling both nervous and anxious. She wanted to speak to Ye Guan. During their last meeting, Xuanyuan Ling wanted to draw a clear, demarcating line between them, but she found it difficult to do so.
Upon learning that Ye Guan was about to leave Blue Planet, Xuanyuan Ling was instantly nervous, allowing her to confirm that she truly had feelings for Ye Guan.
Xuanyuan Ling was both nervous and expectant as she walked into the Sword Dao Department\'s training grounds. However, she only found Mu Wanyu, Shuang Shuang, and Mu Yun. Ye Guan was nowhere to be found.
Mu Wanyu rushed over to Xuanyuan Ling and said, "Good morning, Sister Ling!"
Xuanyuan Ling looked around and asked, "Where is he?"
"Little Guan?" Mu Wanyu asked.
Xuanyuan Ling nodded.
Mu Wanyu’s expression darkened as she said, "He already left."
He left? Xuanyuan Ling froze.
Mu Wanyu’s heart clenched, and she muttered, "Sister Ling..."
Xuanyuan Ling looked at Mu Wanyu and interrupted, "Did he say goodbye to you?"
Mu Wanyu nodded.
Hearing that, a wave of bitterness swept past Xuanyuan Ling\'s heart. Xuanyuan Ling looked up, and her eyes glazed over in contemplation. It was painful, but the reality was that she might never stumble upon him again in this lifetime of hers.
1. Okay like why is she wearing a qipao to sleep 0.o ?
