Everyone has a moment to shine.
But not everyone gets to be seen.
Just as fine horses need a discerning eye to be recognized.
Hong Zhencheng’s words made Suan Cai’s heart pound on the spot.
A man should be like this.
In Suan Cai’s eyes, Hong Zhencheng’s focus and resolve were intoxicating; even the sweat on his brow seemed to glimmer.
Perhaps this was the legend—meeting the right person at the right time.
Suan Cai lifted a hand, snatched the retreating Hong Zhencheng back, and said with heroic flair, "I’ll help you rescue your brother. In exchange, you become my Dao partner.
Remember my name. I’m Suan Cai."
And that led to the scene before them now.
After hearing Hong Zhencheng’s account, Ye Yu’s expression turned very odd.
He actually managed to bring back a Dao partner like this?
And judging from the divine power rippling around Suan Cai, she was at least at the peak of the Ancient God Realm—and she had a divine beast that just devoured the flesh abomination Shen Kangren.
A Dao partner this strong—how is he not the protagonist of a wish-fulfillment tale?
Ye Yu took Hong Zhencheng by the shoulders and gave him a thorough once-over, head to toe.
This kid definitely has something.
Back in the dream, he won Bai Shuang as a Dao partner in no time.
Now in reality, he’s secured two in a row.
I thought it was luck.
Turns out it’s destiny.
You’ve got something about you, Zhencheng.
"Big Brother, don’t look at me like that. Did I do something wrong?"
Hong Zhencheng gave a shy smile.
Ye Yu waved both hands at once.
"No, you didn’t do anything wrong. You’re right about everything. If you told me the God Realm is a square, I’d believe you right now.
Kid, you’re going to achieve great things."
Those words only left Hong Zhencheng more bewildered.
Then, off to the side, Suan Cai cleared her throat softly.
Ye Yu got it at once and briskly pushed Hong Zhencheng outward.
"Sorry to delay your... process. I’ve got business—I’ll take my leave."
Before the words were done, Ye Yu turned into a streak of sword light and sped away.
Hong Zhencheng blinked.
"Process? What process?"
"Yours and mine, of course."
Suan Cai seized his sleeve and hurried him off, plainly eager to complete the “process” she’d just mentioned.
Little did they know, half an hour after they left—
A splash of blood on the ground began to coalesce and gather.
It was the very mouthful Shen Kangren coughed up before he died.
In theory, if even a single drop of blood remained, then Shen Kangren’s revival was only a matter of time.
Neither Ye Yu nor Suan Cai noticed the fresh blood that had seeped into the cracks of the stone, and so they gave him one last chance.
That blood pooled into a lump and began to creep away, seeking a safe place to hide.
In less than a hundred years, a brand-new Shen Kangren would reappear.
However, that wish was not to be.
Because someone found it, grabbed it, and swallowed it in one gulp.
The one who ate it was a burly warrior monk.
If Ye Yu had been there, he would’ve recognized him at once as Monk Wuguo.
Back when they fought the God of Heart Demons, Wuguo was condensed into a lump of stone.
From that moment on, Ye Yu thought he had fallen.
In truth, Monk Wuguo not only survived, his power had surged into the Golden God Realm.
Overall he still looked the same as before—breath like a roaming dragon, fierce beyond measure.
But look closely, and you’d see his eyes had already turned gray.
It didn’t fit him at all.
Wuguo still had his head tipped back in a swallowing pose.
To be honest, he didn’t even know why he swallowed that lump of blood the instant he saw it.
The feeling was strange, as if a mysterious voice in his heart kept urging him.
Swallow it. You must swallow it.
So Wuguo did as it urged.
Truth be told, it stank so badly it made him gag.
Yet in his heart there was a nameless pleasure.
Wuguo pressed his right hand to his chest on reflex.
He didn’t know when it started, but this place had felt wrong for a long time.
His Buddha heart was clearly still there, yet he kept doing things that defied belief.
And the frequency only grew as time passed.
It left Wuguo with an illusion that, before long, he might not be able to control himself.
Every time that thought surfaced, it made him heartsick.
A single tear slid down his cheek.
He hadn’t expected that, so he wiped it away, shook his head slightly, and kept walking.
I—
Am the only Buddha to attain godhood in a million years. How could I lose control?
I am the true Buddha.
Ten thousand evils cannot invade.
Even now, Wuguo had no idea that his Buddha heart had long been dulled with dust.
A thin black film was about to cover it completely.
The next day.
Ye Yu returned to the Ye Residence in the newly built city.
The moment he stepped through the door, he saw Xie Buyu chatting with Shen Fuxin and Yu Buxia.
Seeing how well they were getting along, Ye Yu felt relieved.
Mm. This is good.
Looks like bringing Xie Buyu here ahead of time didn’t cause any trouble.
Just then, Shen Fuxin and Yu Buxia noticed Ye Yu and hurried over.
"Nothing happened, right?"
Before Ye Yu could answer, Gu Ji’s figure flashed into view. She said tartly, "Yo, why’d you come back alone?
By the usual pattern, shouldn’t you be bringing someone else?"
Hearing that, both Yu Buxia and Shen Fuxin couldn’t help laughing.
Ye Yu waved a hand. "All right, Little Lion, don’t be mad. If it won’t do, I’ll coax you first."
Gu Ji twisted aside with a pout. "Who needs your coaxing?"
Seeing this, Ye Yu covered his face with one hand.
Women—always saying no when they mean yes.
From your tone to your movements, you’re practically begging to be soothed.
Why make it so hard?
Ye Yu sighed lightly, stepped forward, and gathered Gu Ji into his arms.
Yu Buxia, Shen Fuxin, and the others took the hint and slipped away.
Over the next few days, true to the principle of fair rain on all fields, Ye Yu made sure to coax every lady of the Ye Residence.
After all, you can’t play favorites.
Once everyone was happily appeased,
Ye Yu didn’t dare delay. He prepared to set out on a new round of getting stronger.
He found a room and sank back into sleep.
