After hearing Ying Naiyan’s frenzied words,
Ye Yu and Dongkui imdiately began quietly examining her.
But the conclusion they reached was unanimous:
Ying Naiyan was currently in excellent condition, showing no signs of possession by a heart demon.
If not possessed, then why was she acting so strangely?
Was she angry?
It made sense—her master had sent her away, then stayed close to Ye Yu,
and to top it off, she had walked in on them.
Anyone would be upset about that!
Thinking this, Ye Yu and Dongkui imdiately tried to explain to Ying Naiyan.
It was truly just a small misunderstanding. Their relationship was purely friendly, with no personal feelings involved.
If she still didn’t believe them,
both of them would swear an oath to the Dao.
But before Ye Yu and Dongkui could start, Ying Naiyan stopped them.
“Why so serious? I told you, I saw nothing yesterday!
Why swear an oath?
Besides, even if you two really have sothing going on, that’s fine—I’d be happy to hear it!”
Ying Naiyan forced out a friendly smile.
“Husband, master, isn’t this enough? I’ve gone this far; why are you still explaining?
Just give in gracefully. What more do you want from ?”
Unbeknownst to Ying Naiyan, her good intentions did not ease Ye Yu and Dongkui’s minds.
Instead, they were even more at a loss, thinking Ying Naiyan was angry about yesterday and speaking deliberately like this!
Ye Yu felt a headache coming on.
Great, here we go again. Why was Ying Naiyan, like the demon family in his last dream, refusing to listen to explanations?
What was he supposed to do?
Dongkui was equally anxious.
Stealing her disciple’s partner sounded outrageous.
She didn’t want that impression to be confird, or else there would be no face left in the Underworld.
So she took Ying Naiyan aside and set up a soundproof barrier.
Yes, specifically to keep Ye Yu out.
So things just can’t be said in front of him. # Nоvеlight # Perhaps two won together would make it easier.
However, before Dongkui could speak,
Ying Naiyan interrupted imdiately.
“Master, wasn’t my hint obvious enough?
I completely agree with you two being together!
You don’t need to be so nervous.
So things are easier when spoken openly.
At worst, we go our own ways—
I call you master, you call sister.
After all, I ca first; order must be kept!”
Hearing this, Dongkui was completely bewildered.
Who am I? Where am I? Is the world ending?
“Enough, stop staring blankly.
Don’t feel too grateful—there’s no need for that between us!”
Ying Naiyan’s lips curved into a proud smile.
The next second,
Dongkui imdiately covered Ying Naiyan’s mouth.
“Now, I speak, you listen. No interruptions!”
Monts later,
the soundproof barrier lifted.
Dongkui erged, her expression grim.
Seeing this, Ye Yu imdiately approached, anxiously asking,
“Did you explain everything clearly?”
Dongkui stood still, staring at Ye Yu for a long mont, then said quietly,
“I’m done with this matter. I can’t persuade her anyway. Let it be! Also...”
“What else? Say it. Why stop suddenly?”
Ye Yu looked at Dongkui with puzzlent.
Half-spoken words were the worst.
Unfortunately, Dongkui didn’t finish her sentence.
Her form dissolved into black mist and vanished.
She never said the second half.
Ye Yu couldn’t help but shake his head slightly.
This female ghost was impossible to deal with!
He then looked toward Ying Naiyan and softly asked,
“What exactly did you two talk about?”
“Actually, nothing much.
I’ve already told her clearly—
I agree with you two being together.
There’s no need to hide it or pretend to be angry.
I have made concessions.
Why do you insist on explaining?
Why not be straightforward?”
Ying Naiyan sighed helplessly.
Ye Yu froze.
Agreed to be together?
No way. Was her mind really that peculiar?
He had said it hundreds of tis—it was a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding! Why wouldn’t she listen?
At that mont, Ye Yu suddenly understood why Dongkui had just left.
She had basically given up.
Ah, Yan’er, why can’t you believe our explanation?
Ye Yu covered his face with one hand, feeling very conflicted.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
During this ti, Ye Yu had been repeatedly explaining the misunderstanding between him and Dongkui to Ying Naiyan.
No matter what he said, Ying Naiyan always smiled and nodded.
Then she asked if they should call Master Dongkui over as well,
to “keep an eye on things.”
Every ti she said “keep an eye on things,” Ye Yu was completely dumbfounded.
Keep an eye on what?
She was a Demon King Realm powerhouse who could walk through the Underworld however she pleased.
Why should she “keep an eye” on anyone?
Of course, Ye Yu knew “keep an eye on things” was just an excuse, a pretext.
Her real purpose was to have Dongkui co over.
But from Ye Yu’s perspective, what was that about?
Absolutely no way to let the misunderstanding worsen.
Although he hadn’t gotten answers to his questions, it didn’t matter anymore.
Ye Yu had already asked Ying Naiyan—
she could ascend to the Heavenly Realm alone.
If that was the case,
he didn’t need to stay in the Underworld any longer.
So he prepared to use the Boundary Pearl once again to try his luck.
After all, he hadn’t been out for that long.
He couldn’t spend all his ti in the Underworld.
Of course, a big part of this was to avoid further misunderstandings with Ying Naiyan.
Explanations were truly exhausting!
Before leaving, Ye Yu seriously asked,
“Are you sure you really have a way to ascend to the Heavenly Realm?”
“I’m sure, absolutely sure!”
Ying Naiyan nodded seriously.
During this ti, she had learned about the Boundary Pearl.
Though she wanted to advance together with Ye Yu,
when she found out he was going to the Demon Realm to find his wife from a parallel world,
Ying Naiyan imdiately made a decision.
She would ascend in her own way.
This was not out of spite, but because she was considerate.
She feared that if she went along, the Demon Realm sisters would feel uncomfortable.
So she resolutely refused.
Even if her thod of ascension was sowhat dangerous, Ying Naiyan would not hesitate.
Moreover, according to her calculations, as long as she avoided the wrong moves from the last dream, ascending to the Heavenly Realm shouldn’t be a big problem!
Uh, it should be fine!
But husband was leaving—wouldn’t master co to see him off?
Ying Naiyan looked around but found nothing!
Unbeknownst to her, Dongkui was now only about a thousand ters away.
