【In Ye Yu’s view, Bai Miaoling’s hundred-year agreement felt more like an opportunity.】
【After a hundred years, as long as Ye Yu could defeat her, she would give up her mission and obediently become a canary.】
【But if he couldn’t win, then Ye Yu would have to stay by her side obediently.】
【This bet was quite fair.】
【At least it allowed for a period of growth.】
【Upon introspection, it was clear that he didn’t even need a hundred years. Even with what Situ Shuping had said, that Bai Miaoling possessed a demonic treasure…】
【Just thirty more years would be enough.】
【But given the current situation, it seemed that wouldn’t work!】
【Thus, Ye Yu chose not to mention the hundred-year agreement at this time. He simply picked up the spiritual tea before him and gulped it down.】
【At that moment, Bai Miaoling leaned against Ye Yu’s shoulder, placing one hand over his heart.】
【She seemed to enjoy this gesture very much.】
【But for some reason, Ye Yu was never worried that Bai Miaoling would kill him like this.】
【Husband, I’ve thought of you seven thousand six hundred and eleven times. Since you left, once a day, and one day at a time…I can only gaze at your portrait and long for you.】
【In truth, I really, really love you and want to be by your side forever!】
【Unfortunately, I still have things to do. This is my mission.】
【Ye Yu could clearly sense it. Bai Miaoling carried an indescribable weariness.】
【Mission?】
【This mission didn’t seem very friendly for humans!】
【Ye Yu’s feelings were quite complicated.】
【He said in a deep voice, If you are willing to give up your mission, I will be by your side forever. Is that alright?】
【Bai Miaoling replied blandly, Let’s not talk for now; let me feel this moment of warmth.】
【A simple statement instantly made him understand her answer.】
【But Ye Yu didn’t turn and leave. He kept silent.】
【After a moment of mutual comfort, Bai Miaoling slowly stood up, forming seals with her hands.】
【In the next second, they switched places, returning once again to the Divine Binding River.】
【The scene was just like twenty years ago.】
【Ye Yu suddenly widened his eyes.】
【No way?】
【Was she planning to kill him again?】
【That would be a bit much, right?】
【Just as Ye Yu was preparing to take action, he suddenly saw Bai Miaoling tear off the outermost robe she was wearing.】
【She draped it over Ye Yu’s shoulders, then silently recited a chant.】
【The robe began to change length.】
【Before long, this black robe seemed to be tailored just for Ye Yu. It also completely transformed from a female version to a male version.】
【Ye Yu felt no restrictions at all, and even felt a warmth in his chest.】
【What could this possibly mean?】
【Did this count as having obtained the demonic treasure?】
【Bai Miaoling lifted her hand and gently caressed Ye Yu’s face.】
【Her gaze was tender as she said, Twenty years have also helped me realize something.】
【You are more important to me than I had imagined.】
【When I’m not by your side in the future, remember to think of me!】
【Hearing these words, Ye Yu sensed something was off.】
【He was about to ask when Situ Shuping’s figure suddenly appeared in the air, erupting into wild laughter.】
【Seeing his arrival, Bai Miaoling appeared completely indifferent, not surprised at all.】
【Ye Yu, however, was quite taken aback.】
【He coldly asked, Why are you suddenly here?】
【The smile on Situ Shuping’s face instantly vanished, replaced by a ferocity.】
【If I don’t come, the entire mortal realm will turn into a paradise for the demon realm! And you, for your own selfish desires, actually refuse me!】
【Situ Shuping’s roar seemed to echo through heaven and earth.】
【Ye Yu’s expression became extremely grave.】
【Indeed, within the Chaos Valley, even when Situ Shuping knelt before him, Ye Yu still hadn’t agreed to his request.】
【The main reason was that he couldn’t get over that mental barrier.】
【No matter how you put it, Bai Miaoling was his Dao companion, and they had even held a wedding ceremony.】
【To have Ye Yu steal his own wife’s robe and allow others to take her down?】
【That idea was repugnant from the start.】
【So, Ye Yu decisively rejected Situ Shuping.】
【The reason he had returned to the Bai family was that he wanted to try persuading Bai Miaoling in his own way.】
【Success or failure would be his own choice.】
【But Ye Yu couldn’t understand, why Bai Miaoling would suddenly drape the robe over him.】
【He was even more puzzled about why Situ Shuping would appear at this critical moment.】
【This made no sense at all!】
【Ye Yu vaguely sensed that something was not right. So, he turned to Bai Miaoling and asked what was going on.】
【The latter’s expression became quite complicated.】
【But Situ Shuping spoke up first, Why not let me tell you?】
【You have feelings, but that doesn’t mean demons must be heartless!】
【Then, with Situ Shuping’s explanation, Ye Yu finally understood everything.】
【It turned out that within the Chaos Valley, after being rejected, Situ Shuping had already harbored hatred towards Ye Yu.】
【He immediately used an artifact to cast a curse on Ye Yu, causing his heart vessels to wither away and die within a day.】
【And it would be undetectable.】
【In fact, while Ye Yu might not feel this curse, Bai Miaoling could see it clearly.】
【In a real sense, from the moment Ye Yu stepped into the Bai family, Bai Miaoling already knew he had been cursed.】
【Moreover, she had guessed that this curse was aimed directly at her.】
【Because the best way to break this curse was to use the robe she was wearing.】
【Just as Situ Shuping had said, this robe was indeed a treasured artifact of the demon realm, called the Nirvana Glazed Robe.】
【Not only could it resist most techniques from cultivators, but anyone wearing the Nirvana Glazed Robe could possess a powerful regenerative ability.】
【Re-growing a severed limb was just basic functionality.】
【It could be said that as long as the body remained intact and the robe was not destroyed, with enough time, rebirth was still possible.】
【Besides these uses, it could also be employed to break curses.】
【Bai Miaoling could see that this was clearly a trap. It was designed to force her to take off the Nirvana Glazed Robe.】
【If she didn’t remove it, Ye Yu would die before her eyes.】
【This was completely a question of choice.】
【However, Bai Miaoling still did not regret it until now…Because to her, Ye Yu was truly more important than herself!】
【Even if she were to die today and Ye Yu were to live, it would still be worth it.】
