Chapter 440: A Guardian on Red Star

Cizhen glanced at Ye Guan before sitting down to continue her writing.

Just like that, time went by quickly. Cizhen wrote nonstop, while Ye Guan checked Cizhen\'s work meticulously. It took Ye Guan a few hours to finish reviewing the manuscripts. He stretched and turned to find Cizhen sleeping with her head on the desk.

Ye Guan shook his head and smiled wryly before gently laying down the pieces of paper in his hands. He lifted Cizhen carefully and started moving toward the bed. He was just about to set her down, but he stopped upon seeing Cizhen staring at him.

Ye Guan was briefly taken aback, but he smiled gently and placed her down on the bed. Then, he sat on a chair next to the bed and asked, "Sister Zhen, where are we going tomorrow?"

Cizhen chuckled and replied, "You\'ll find out tomorrow."

Ye Guan nodded and replied, "Alright."

"You should rest early," Cizhen suggested.

Ye Guan nodded.

"Are you going to sleep on the chair?" Cizhen asked.

Ye Guan stiffened and hesitated. Eventually, he got up and walked up to the bed. He couldn\'t shake away his nervousness. Ye Guan thought of himself as an upright person devoid of perverted thoughts, but his Mad Demon Bloodline would sometimes act up, tainting him.

Cizhen suddenly grabbed Ye Guan\'s hand. Then, she dragged him onto the bed and leaned on his shoulder. Cizhen wrapped an arm around Ye Guan\'s waist and tapped Ye Guan\'s chest with her other hand before saying, "Don\'t let your mind wander. You can do it. I have absolute faith in your character."

Ye Guan\'s expression stiffened, and he tensed up. This is just outrageous.

Cizhen\'s eyes were twinkling with mischief as she stared at Ye Guan. She clung to her as if she were a koala before closing her eyes to sleep.

Ye Guan sighed inwardly. He couldn\'t afford to overthink whenever he was drunk, and he also thought that he could use his drunkenness as an excuse. However, he was perfectly sober tonight, so his current situation felt like torment.

After a while, Cizhen shifted, and she ended up leaning entirely on Ye Guan. Cizhen showed no signs of embarrassment nor reservation as she hugged his waist with a smile gracing her face.

Ye Guan\'s heart suddenly felt much calmer as he looked down at Cizhen. The desire within him subsided, and he tightened his grip on Cizhen\'s shoulder as he closed his eyes and drifted off to dreamland.

Just like that, the two slept while in each other\'s embrace.

At daybreak, Cizhen opened her eyes slowly and discovered that she had wrapped her four limbs around Ye Guan. Cizhen blushed slightly but quickly regained her composure. She looked up at Ye Guan and revealed a charming smile.

Ye Guan opened his eyes just then.

"What\'s so amusing?" Ye Guan asked upon seeing the amused light in Cizhen\'s eyes.

Cizhen shook her head. "I don\'t know what you\'re talking about."

Ye Guan was astonished.

"You know... I\'ve never been this close to anyone else aside from Little Rou and my other sisters. In fact, you\'re the first man I\'ve ever been this close to throughout my entire life," Cizhen said.

"Do you have any feelings for me?" Ye Guan asked.

Cizhen looked up at Ye Guan and remained silent, seemingly taken aback by Ye Guan\'s question.

Ye Guan chuckled and said, "It seems that you don\'t really care about love, do you? Perhaps the idea of having a lover has never crossed your mind. I feel like you don\'t particularly dislike my presence. After all, you can enjoy the comfort and sense of security of having someone beside you while sleeping. But that\'s pretty much it, isn\'t it?"

Cizhen smiled without saying anything.

"Am I right?" Ye Guan asked.

Cizhen finally nodded.

A myriad of emotions swirled within Ye Guan. He had never even thought of Cizhen liking him. They were pretty intimate with each other, but Ye Guan had always stayed grounded, knowing that she was a divine being.

Ye Guan was sure that Cizhen definitely had a different perspective when it came to emotions and feelings. In fact, Cizhen was emitting the same air as the plain-skirt lady, who thought of everyone as mere ants aside from Ye Xuan.

Divinity was truly frightening, but it made sense at the same time.

How could those who had taken millions of lives still consider life itself as precious?

Ye Guan inwardly sighed. He envied his father, as he was capable of evoking the plain-skirt lady\'s humanity. Of course, the plain-skirt lady was also fortunate to have Ye Xuan preserving her humanity.

Just then, Cizhen asked, "So, do you like me?"

Ye Guan nodded without hesitation.

Cizhen asked, "Why?"

Ye Guan leaned down and kissed her hair gently. "I don\'t know."

Cizhen stared at Ye Guan without saying anything.

Ye Guan grinned and asked, "How do you interpret the fact that I like you?"

Cizhen pondered briefly before asking, "If our feelings are mutual, we\'ll need a larger bed."

Ye Guan was confused. "Why\'s that?"

Cizhen looked at Ye Guan seriously. "Where will Little Rou and the others sleep?"

Ye Guan froze.

Cizhen\'s lips curled in a playful manner. "Ever thought about sharing a bigger bed?"

Ye Guan shook his head and chuckled. "Do I sound very na?ve to you?”

Cizhen smiled but didn\'t reply.

Ye Guan said, "Let\'s drop this topic. Where are we headed today?”

Cizhen sat up and stretched lazily.

"I\'ll whip up some noodles for you first," Cizhen said before getting out of bed and heading toward the kitchen.

Ye Guan followed her to the kitchen and stared at her as she cooked their breakfast.

Cizhen\'s bowl of noodles wasn\'t that difficult to replicate, as she simply used instant noodles. Ye Guan noted that she had simply opened the packaging, poured water into a pot, and stood by, waiting for it to boil before cooking the noodles.

Ye Guan finally understood why they were called instant noodles.

Cizhen carried two bowls over to the dining table.

"Give my culinary skills a try," Cizhen said smugly.

Ye Guan shook his head and chuckled before digging in.

The noodles were surprisingly flavorful, even though they were instant noodles.

Cizhen looked over Ye Guan\'s shoulder and saw a young woman.

She was none other than Cirou.

Cirou\'s cultivation wasn\'t under any suppression, so Ye Guan failed to sense her presence. Cirou revealed a wacky face while glaring at Ye Guan from behind.

Cizhen responded with a shake of her head and a smile.

Ye Guan looked at Cizhen and asked, "What\'s funny?"

Cizhen chuckled. "Little Rou told me that you\'re a kind person, and I think she\'s right."

Ye Guan shook his head. "I don\'t hesitate to take lives."

Cizhen smiled. "I believe kindness with a bit of edge is what defines a \'kind\' person. Otherwise, they\'re not kind—just naive."

Ye Guan nodded slightly. "Little Rou’s plan is for my son to rule the True Universe and for me to face the Universe Tribulation, right?"

Cizhen nodded in confirmation.

Ye Guan smiled wryly. "She\'s quite the strategist. Once my son takes over the True Universe, I will have no choice but to take on the Universe Tribulation. It really is a great scheme!”

Cirou\'s hands clenched slowly into fists, but she remained silent while standing behind Ye Guan.

Cizhen suddenly grabbed Ye Guan\'s hand and whispered, "I know that you\'re angry..."

"Angry?" Ye Guan shook his head and said, "I\'m sure you have no idea how much respect I once had for her. I considered her my closest confidante, but... sigh, what\'s the use of bringing that up at this point? She had indeed schemed against me, but she had also helped me a few times before. I guess I can say that we\'re even."

Cizhen let out a soft sigh.

Cirou stood silent behind Ye Guan for a long time before she turned around and left.

Ye Guan finished his bowl of noodles and said, "Are we going now?”

Cizhen nodded. "Yes, wait for me here. I\'ll change into something else."

Cizhen headed toward the bedroom. When she returned, she had changed into an elegant pale white gown adorned with delicate orchid patterns. Her gorgeous figure was accentuated nicely by the dress, and it gave her a tinge of gracefulness.

Cizhen smiled, looking like a flower in full bloom. "How do I look?"

Ye Guan nodded in approval."You look stunning!"

"Let\'s go," Cizhen said with a charming smile. Then, she walked up to Ye Guan and held his hand, leading him outside. The two soon found themselves at the airport, and Ye Guan followed Cizhen blankly until they settled down in their plane seats.

Ye Guan could no longer hold back his curiosity. "Sister Zhen, where are we going?"

Cizhen grinned. "You\'ll find out soon."

Ye Guan shook his head, smiling.

Cizhen gazed out the window and said, "You know, there are many interesting things here. I\'ve always been wondering about the limits of this civilization.”

"The Great Daoist Brush Master once told me that cultivators at your level can catch glimpses of the future. Was he right?" Ye Guan asked.

Cizhen nodded. "That\'s correct."

"Then why not take a peek into the future?"

Cizhen smiled faintly. "The future is uncertain; the present is where meaning lies."

Ye Guan nodded. "True."

Cizhen held Ye Guan\'s hand and said, "Rest. We\'ll reach our destination in a few hours."

Ye Guan smiled and gazed out of the window. The white clouds outside resembled a boundless sea of clouds, creating a mesmerizing scenery. This was Ye Guan\'s second time on an airplane. He had gotten involved in a terrifying incident during his first time, so he was hoping that there wouldn\'t be any incidents this time.

Regardless, Ye Guan was still a bit afraid of encountering any issues while on a plane. Just then, Ye Guan recalled something and asked, "Sister Zhen, during my visit to the Xuanyuan Clan, I discovered that Time Reversers had once visited the Blue Planet. Do you have any idea why?"

Cizhen revealed a mysterious smile. "They were here for something.”

Ye Guan frowned and asked, "What is it?”

"They were looking for a divine item," Cizhen replied.

"What exactly was it?" Ye Guan asked.

"Our destination holds a divine item, which was the reason behind their visit. I\'m sure you already know that they\'re powerful, but there\'s a special reason behind their failure to seize that divine item," Cizhen said.

"Yes, that white-robed woman was exceptionally strong," Ye Guan said, sounding serious. "The people of the Blue Planet should have been unable to stop her, so how come she ended up failing?"

Cizhen calmly replied, "This place has a guardian."

"A guardian? Who are they?" Ye Guan asked.

Cizhen shook her head. "I don\'t know. All I know is that they\'re on Red Star, and they\'ve been guarding this place since its conception."

Ye Guan froze and fell into deep contemplation.
