Chapter 419: Her smile was his greatest joy
Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
When Wu Lingyu heard what Sima You Yue said, he could not help but purse his lips.
Was he someone who would be fickle?
This brat!
“I’m hungry, I want to eat porridge.” He wouldn’t quibble with a little brat.
A person of cultivation would go hungry? What a liar!
However, she still asked, “What kind of porridge?”
“The kind of porridge you made for me back at Puluo Mountain Range.” Wu Lingyu replied.
Sima You Yue rolled her eyes. She didn’t want to look at him anymore. She found a relatively even ground and took out all her tools. After that, she started to simmer the porridge.
She had long forgotten which porridge she made back then. He was thinking too much if he wanted her to make it again now.
Right now, his body was rather weak. How could she let him randomly eat things? As such, the porridge that she was cooking and the vegetables she was frying was the most nutritious for his body right now.
With a single whiff, Wu Lingyu could tell that this was not the porridge she made for him back then. However, he was just casually saying it just now as well. As long as she made it, it didn’t matter what flavour it was.
He flipped over and law down, wrapping both hands behind his head. He quietly lay there and watched as she busied about.
She had a strong drive, but whenever he looked at her, he always felt at peace.
He remembered that when he was really young, there was once that the Sage Leader of the Sage pavilion brought him to a continent. There, he saw an old couple who were unable to cultivate. They had a full head of white hair when they were just a few tens of years old.
He could feel the waves of spirit energy on the male’s body but none on the female. He guessed that he had given up on his cultivation to grow old with her.
At that time, he didn’t understand. He asked that senior, “Why did you give up your cultivation for her sake?”
At that time, the senior replied him, “Everyone has one wish in their life. Some wish to reach the top, while others wish for money. Others wish for power. For me, I merely wish to hold on to the warmth that comes with her presence.”
He gave up on everything just for this?
The senior saw confusion reflected in his eyes, and said with a smile, “If there is a day where you have a woman beside you that can help you drown out the clamour of life, when you feel the peace that flows from the very depths of your soul, you will understand what I mean.”
Later on, he saw a few other girls. There were simple and clean girls, enchanting and alluring girls, pure and cute girls and intelligent, quick-witted girls. However, none had given him the feeling that the senior had spoken to him about.
Later on, he met more and more girls, and he began to grow suspicious of the senior’s words. Was there really a girl who would give him the kind of peace that would flow from the depths of his soul?
None. There was no way this kind of girl existed.
However, he never thought that, when he was in a low ranked world like the Yilin Continent, he would meet one who was ten over years old.
She had a face that was young and inexperienced but completely open. Her eyes showed her stubborn and unyielding nature. It also revealed depths, as if she had gone through much, that was inconsistent with her age.
After staying together for ten days, she had entered his heart. She had become his life.
Sima You Yue could feel his gaze and said without looking up, “Could it be that you’re not hungry anymore just by looking at me?”
“I’m hungrier just by looking at you.” Wu Lingyu said with a smile.
Sima You Yue rolled her eyes at him and was lazy to continue talking.
She realised that, after this guy had confessed to liking her, the way that he spoke was different. In the past, she always felt that this guy was evil. She never expected that apart from this, he was a gangster right to his very bones.
After she finished frying the vegetables, she took out a table. She placed the dishes on it and then went to watch the porridge. She turned around and saw that this guy had quietly sat by the tableside.
With that action, just which part of his soul was weak?
She saw that the porridge was just about done, and she took out bowls for two people. She placed one in front of him and took the other bowl and sat opposite him.
“Senior, aren’t you the temple’s holy son? Why didn’t the temple come to look for you when you disappeared for so long?”
Wu Lingyu took the ladle and scooped out a ladle of porridge, coughed lightly and then gracefully ate the porridge. After that, he said, “That old guy wouldn’t care whether I lived or died. Furthermore, my name plate is well and fine, so there’s no way he would care about me.”
Sima You Yue was suspicious, saying, “What did you mean last time when you said that old guy wants your body? Does Master know about it?”
Wu Lingyu placed the ladle down, then looked at Sima You Yue. Seeing the passion in her eyes, he said, “He wanted me to go to the Sage Pavilion because he had plans for my body. Because my soul isn’t complete, he has the opportunity to enter when I’m weak and exterminate my soul and take over my body and change me into himself. He’s giving me so much power right now because he has plans in the future.”
Sima You Yue was shocked, saying, “Since you know this, why don’t you leave the Sage Pavilion? It’s not like the Divine Devil Valley is unable to oppose the Sage Pavilion, and he wouldn’t dare to do anything to you if you returned there.”
“I naturally have my own plans, since I don’t want to return.” Wu Lingyu said, “Can he take advantage of me just because he wants to?”
His words fell lightly, but Sima You Yue could hear a trace of bitterness and absolute confidence.
“Then you must grasp the opportunity properly. Don’t go for wool and come back shorn.” She didn’t say much, “Does Master know?”
“Not a clue. If he knew, he would probably be hopping mad. He has never approved of me going to the Sage Pavilion. It was I who wanted to.” Wu Lingyu said, “That’s why you have to help me keep this secret.”
Although she didn’t know why he was so adamant, she knew that he should be the clearest on what he was doing.
“Want me to keep a secret? Sure, pay a fee.” She stretched forth a hand like a rascal.
Wu Lingyu smiled, then took out a bunch of books and stacked them on the table.
“Is this enough?”
Sima You Yue saw the stack of books and was stunned. After that she briefly took a look and most of them were on arrays. There were even a few that were rare alchemy books.
Fire Qilin said that when he knew she was lacking in books, he had gone around to collect them for her. This should be the ones that he had collected so far.
She kept them all into her inspatial ring, saying, “Just barely enough.”
“What if I add on this book?” Wu LIngyu took out another book and placed it in front of her.
That gold cover that was without any angles, was an exceedingly ancient one.
“This is that book that got you in so much trouble?” She asked.
“Yep.” Wu Lingyu said, “Rumour has it that it’s found at the door of the array in the centre of the tombstone of the master. However, this door of the array has appeared ten thousand years ago, just that nobody knows whether it’s still around or not, whether or not it’s really the cemetery of the teaching master, but nobody has any way to verify it.”
Sima You Yue picked up a book and read it. She was deeply engrossed the moment she opened it!
Inside it, it appeared to include every single array, along with some lost arrays that Feng Zhi Xing had told her about. It explained every single array in detail, and there was even a few thought about the comprehension of space. Every single page was an incredible treasure for all array masters!
Wu Lingyu saw the glow in her eyes and the huge grin on her face, and could not help the corner of his mouth turning up into a slight smile.
Right now, he finally understood what that senior meant when he said: her smile was his greatest joy.
