After the main character who took the blame retired, the female lead quit.

It made him seem like a little maid who was accidentally raped by a drunken CEO in a mansion.

This contrast... Hmm, it seems that, judging from their current status, the relationship between Xiao Yu and Long Wanyan is indeed like this.

Long Wanyan had no idea what Xiao Yu was thinking. At this moment, she looked at Xiao Yu in front of her and a strange possessiveness rose in her heart. Her blood, which had been weakened, suddenly boiled again, as if Xiao Yu's respectful tone just now made her feel very uncomfortable.

Or perhaps it was the body's current need for the essence of Yin. In any case, Long Wanyan's mind was in turmoil when facing Xiao Yu.

She is a straightforward person who dislikes beating around the bush and is completely clueless about emotions.

But precisely because of this, when facing Xiao Yu in front of her, she clearly understood one principle: one must take responsibility for one's mistakes.

This is the same as paying for something you bought and then going to a brothel.

Upon closer inspection, Xiao Yu does meet her criteria for a partner, although there is an age gap and his cultivation level is not high.

But these are not major problems. In the cultivation world, there are many couples who are hundreds or even decades old. In terms of cultivation, Xiao Yu is not a fool. He is a promising genius who will definitely break through to the Nascent Soul Realm.

Since all the conditions are met, what is she still hesitating about?

With this in mind, Long Wanyan finally cleared her mind and figured out her own thoughts.

Rather than being forced into blind dates like my childhood friend, I'd rather find someone myself now.

There's only one problem right now...

"Ye Ba, do you have a Daoist partner now? Or someone you admire?"

"No...no, what's wrong?"

Long Wanyan's sudden speech startled Xiao Yu, but his body language betrayed him, and he immediately gave a reply.

Why is she asking this?

Having transmigrated several decades ago, aside from the first ten years or so, Xiao Yu spent the rest of his life taking on the role of the main character, struggling to advance the plot and figure out how to take care of the female lead.

How could they possibly have the time to find a Daoist partner?

As for... does Fairy Meiyue count as someone I admire?

cough cough...

In summary, looking back on the decades since his transmigration, Xiao Yu realized that he really didn't have any female confidantes.

Oh... aside from the yandere Li Yunshang, speaking of this, Xiao Yu felt a headache coming on. How was he supposed to get the personal magic weapon that killed the protagonist from her?

Seductive?

As for Long Wanyan, after hearing that Xiao Yu had neither a Daoist partner nor a love interest, she felt even less hesitant and went straight to the point:

"Since that's the case, as a way of taking responsibility for what happened before, would you be willing to become my Daoist partner?"

"Um... OK."

Xiao Yu was pondering how to obtain Li Yunshang's magical artifact when faced with Long Wanyan's question. Without much thought, he nodded in agreement.

Seeing that Xiao Yu agreed to her so easily and without hesitation, which was in stark contrast to her own long period of consideration and struggle, Long Wanyan was stunned for a moment.

Neither of them spoke, and instantly... the warm room fell silent.

In just a few breaths, Xiao Yu's sluggish brain quickly reacted, and he stared wide-eyed at Long Wanyan in front of him.

what?

Wait... what did Long Wanyan just say?

Taoist companion? !

He actually agreed without thinking!

What is this...? He came out to ask for a letter of introduction from his sect, but ended up selling himself out?

Chapter 72, You Don't Want to Marry Me

The silence in the warm room lasted only a few seconds before Long Wanyan broke the tranquility with her voice.

"If you're willing, that's good. I thought you'd mind that I'm much older than you, like an old cow eating young grass. Since that's the case, then it's settled."

She looked at the stunned Xiao Yu, her cherry-like lips parted slightly, and her silky black hair was brushed back by Long Wanyan, revealing a small and exquisite ear, like a delicate jade carving, which, like her soft and fair face, shone with a gentle rosy glow.

Her tone revealed a hint of joy, and upon hearing Xiao Yu's agreement, the heat within her subtly intensified.

Beneath her clothes, a fine layer of sweat rose from her fair, snow-white skin. The thin clothes clung tightly to Long Wanyan's body, and her exquisite curves were faintly visible beneath the tight fabric.

"No, it's not this..." Xiao Yu was about to speak, but Long Wanyan's next words stopped him from saying anything more.

"In that case, when do you think we should get married? The most auspicious day according to the Chinese almanac is about a month from now, which is suitable for marriage."

As per her master's instructions, the dowry she prepared for me consisted of a set of top-grade immortal weapons, plus a mountain.

I'm not very familiar with your local customs. If you can't afford a dowry, I can help you gather some money first. Your main focus should be on breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm as soon as possible; don't let these things distract you.

High-grade... top-tier immortal weapons, and... even mountain strongholds!!

They even helped raise the betrothal gifts. Wow, such an amazing couple! Even Xiao Yu was tempted.

wrong!

Let's set aside the question of whether or not I'm interested.

"Um...senior? I feel...is getting married a bit too fast?"

“Senior?!” Long Wanyan’s eyes narrowed, and when she looked at Xiao Yu again, she had a captivating aura. Xiao Yu shrank back and leaned against the back of his chair.

Looking at Xiao Yu before her, Long Wanyan suppressed her imposing aura, a soft light flashing in her eyes, her body temperature rising even higher.

"Since we're already in this relationship, we can change how we address each other. You can just call me Wanyan, and as for you... I... um, Ba'er... or Baba?!"

Clearly, Long Wanyan was having trouble with how to address Xiao Yu. A two-character name was indeed difficult to use affectionately, unlike a three-character name where removing the surname and simply using the given name could express intimacy.

After hesitating for a while, she looked up at Xiao Yu with her bright eyes and tentatively said a few names.

"I... cough cough... wait a minute, you can just keep calling me Ye Ba."

Xiao Yu choked for a moment, and he quickly reached out to stop the extremely bizarre scene in front of him.

Being called "Dad" by Long Wanyan is enough to give me goosebumps just hearing it.

If outsiders heard this, they would look at him with disdain.

I never imagined that the name I chose out of malice would end up backfire like this... I should have just chosen a more normal name.

"Oh well."

Long Wanyan pursed her lips, and the moment the words left her mouth, she sensed something was wrong. Ye Ba's name... how should I put it... it was really...

She doesn't make any comments.

In short, it's good that Xiao Yu agreed.

In that case... wouldn't that mean...

As if thinking of something, Long Wanyan felt a surge of heat rising within her, spreading throughout her body.

Under the table, her full, long legs pressed together and rubbed against each other a few times.

Wait a minute... no, how did Long Wanyan change the subject?

The marriage arrangements haven't been finalized yet!

Coming to his senses and realizing this, Xiao Yu spoke again, tentatively addressing Long Wanyan opposite him:

"Actually, I think it's too hasty to get married. We haven't even learned anything about each other yet, and we're already talking about dowry and bride price. Our parents haven't even met yet. Isn't it too hasty?"

"Oh, right! You're so thoughtful. Ye Ba, where do your parents still live? I'll visit them another day."

Long Wanyan's eyes lit up, as if she had just filled in a gap in her knowledge, and she clapped her hands in sudden realization.

"That's not the point, is it? Besides, I'm an orphan; my parents aren't here anymore."

Xiao Yu covered his face and sighed softly.

It feels like we're not even on the same wavelength!

“I was picked up by my master outside, and I have never met my biological parents like you. This is good, we can decide our own marriage.”

As for your comment about things progressing too fast, I have considered it, but now that we have consummated our marriage, it's only a matter of time before we get married. I am a traditional woman, different from others. Since I am taking responsibility, I must get married. I do not accept the idea of ​​being a couple but delaying marriage.

Besides, I don't think I'm wrong in judging people. You're not a bad person, and I don't dislike you. Feelings will develop over time; we should get along well.

Perhaps sensing what Xiao Yu was thinking, Long Wanyan straightened her expression and explained.

"This one……"

Long Wanyan's words were flawless, leaving Xiao Yu speechless for a moment.

Depend on!

Why did he impulsively agree in the first place? How can I refuse now?

Unlike Long Wanyan, who was determined, Xiao Yu, who was familiar with the plot, had many concerns.

The fact that he's now having a relationship with Long Wanyan has completely veered off course in the plot.

If he were to marry her again, the plot would veer off to the extreme, practically breaking through the atmosphere!

Although the plot completely collapsed the moment the protagonist died.

But Xiao Yu still wanted to try his best to make amends.

More importantly, Xiao Yu was afraid of implicating Long Wanyan in front of him, since his true identity was actually a demon from beyond the heavens.

In this world, those who are not recorded have no identity.

When Dao spoke with him, he said that the demons from beyond the heavens were pests to this world and must be eliminated.

If it weren't for her protecting Xiao Yu, he would have been maliciously killed long ago.

The reason why Xiao Yu can act so recklessly outside is because his biggest weakness is on Demon Gathering Island, so he doesn't have to worry about being targeted by anyone.

The fact that Jumo Island could conceal even the so-called Heavenly Dao agents' investigations was enough to reassure Xiao Yu, giving him peace of mind about his rear.

If he marries Long Wanyan, what if someone wants to kill him in the future and can't find Xiao Yu, so they try to kill her instead?

As the head of a sect, Long Wanyan could not possibly go to Jumo Island with Xiao Yu.

Recalling the fox demon in the dilapidated temple, Xiao Yu gradually realized that something was wrong.
