Yuchi took Yu Shengyun and stayed there for a month. During this month, he did not cultivate. Yu Shengyun was very happy when she first arrived at this mountain range. She felt that Yuchi was being very considerate of her. Otherwise, he would not have chosen to stop here.
However, before Yuchi could get tired of the flowers in the mountain range, Yu Shengyun gradually lost interest in it.
Within just a short day, she felt that the flowers in front of her were no longer as interesting as she had imagined. Some things were best enjoyed from a distance. As such, for the next 20 days, she sat under a big tree in the center and closed her eyes to cultivate.
Yu Shengyun knew very well the difference in power between her and Yuchi. It was just like what her master, Yu Shengxuan, had said.
If she wanted Yuchi to value her, then her own strength must be very powerful.
If she just stayed behind this man forever, then one day, this man would suddenly go so far that he would be beyond her.
This was reality, and Yu Shengyun was not a clueless child.
However, when she thought about how he behaved, she still felt a little strange.
Sometimes, when Yu Shengyun opened her eyes and looked at Yuchi, she could see him standing in front of some flowers and looking at them calmly. She did not know what he was thinking about, or if he was even thinking about anything at all.
After a month had passed, this small interlude ended.
Yu Shengyun felt that the flowers did not seem to have much meaning. It was better to cultivate. After all, this chaotic world operated on strength.
However, when they finally left, Yu Shengyun could not help but look at the sea of flowers that was gradually disappearing.
She suddenly felt like staying another day or two.
However, thinking about it, if she made this request, then Yuchi would probably strangle her to death.
She did not look at the flowers when she was there, but started to miss them when she left.
That was simply akin to asking for a beating.
Yu Shengyun smiled and asked innocently, “Where are we going now?”
“We’re going to the Black Mountains where the hunt was held,” Yuchi replied without hesitation.
What was the point of going to the Black Mountains?
There was nothing there other than corpses.
Yu Shengyun could not understand and asked, “What’s so special about that place? Why do you want to go there?”
“I want to go fishing,” Yuchi said.
Pfft!
Yu Shengyun sighed inwardly.
‘It was expected, but also unexpected.’
She had roughly guessed what Yuchi’s reply would be, but hearing it from his mouth still surprised her.
Still, Yu Shengyun was definitely going to follow Yuchi. Even if his current behavior seemed a little strange, it was just fishing after all. She would not be affected. She could just stay by his side and cultivate by herself.
‘What’s the point of fishing, though?’
‘I don’t get it at all.’
Yu Shengyun could not understand why Yuchi liked to fish.
If Yuchi was an ordinary person, then he could still relish the joys of struggling to reel in the fish. However, Yuchi was a Dao essence realm expert. If he really wanted to, he could fish up the entire lake with a flick of his finger.
What kind of fun was there in that?
To her, his obsession with fishing made him seem just like a child.
Mmm.
A child.
A child who had just learned how to walk was very interested in walking. They would run around randomly and often do some very dangerous things.
However, as they slowly got used to it, it was difficult for them to find joy in simply walking, and walking would just become another mundane thing.
Therefore, it was very strange.
The first time she met him, he had been fishing in the cold river.
At that time, she did not have a proper understanding of his interests and hobbies.
After that, when the hunt started, he stayed by the lake in the center of the Black Mountains to fish.
Hmm…
What about fishing made him happy?
Yu Shengyun looked at the man beside her in confusion.
This made Yu Shengyun feel that this man in front of her was unfathomable. She felt that this man could do many things that no one else in the world could do.
It had not been long since she and Yuchi had left the angel race’s territory, yet they had already met the former master of the Netherworld Sea.
Even though she did not know who that was, it sounded like a very powerful title.
Yuchi turned to look at her with a puzzled expression. “Why are you looking at me?”
Yu Shengyun was shocked. She retreated in mid-air a few meters. She was like a cat who had stolen a piece of fish and was caught.
Yuchi was helpless. He seriously suspected that there was something wrong with the angel race. Why would the angel race choose such a silly little girl to be their Saintess?
“If I have time in the future, I would like to find your clan leader and reminisce about the past. I would like to ask him how he chose you to be the saintess. If he has any difficulties, I can help him figure things out.”
Yu Shengyun instantly became unhappy. She proudly puffed out her chest and said, “I’m just this way in front of you. In front of others, I’m far more calm, a noble existence that is beyond reach. Under such circumstances, you should be feeling happy instead of suspecting that my clan leader had unspoken issues.”
Yu Shengyun continued even more boldly, “Let’s not talk about me. I am very confused as to how a man like you would appear in the human race. Somehow, I ended up following a crazy person like you, and you even took me to the sea of flowers to play for a month.”
“You’re the one who’s crazy on one hand, but on the other hand, you’re so calm that it’s creepy.”
“It’s a contradictory combination.”
“Sometimes, I can’t even understand what you’re thinking about!”
“Especially when I saw you amidst the flowers one day. You were actually smiling foolishly at a toad!”
“I was shocked. I can’t understand what you’re thinking at all.”
