Chapter 420: Longing

Three people entered Echo Valley.

Suddenly, a dense aura of longing enveloped them.

The mountains on either side were deeply permeated by endless thought energy, and as time went on, who knew what kind of monster would emerge!

But that was of no concern right now, because Lu Ye had arrived.

Lin Chuyue eagerly sat cross-legged, beginning to channel the thoughts others had for her.

“Master, then I’ll start channeling too,” said the Drunken Sword Daoist.

He was a bit more reserved than Lin Chuyue, perhaps because she was a woman, or maybe due to her carefree personality which didn’t bother much about social hierarchies.

After all, there were tales of overpowering sect leaders and elderly janitors finding love in their twilight years, and even deceased old women being resurrected by passing Imperishable Realm strongmen to become Dao companions—anything was possible!

But really, with Lin Chuyue’s personality, as long as no one was rude, things were pretty chill.

The Drunken Sword Daoist couldn’t be as relaxed as Lin Chuyue though; Lu Ye was the headmaster now, and his strength far exceeded the Daoist’s. Subconsciously, he began to show more respect towards Lu Ye.

Lu Ye nodded.

The Drunken Sword Daoist sat down cross-legged and started to feel.

Lu Ye soon joined, closing his eyes to clear his mind.

Who could be longing for him, and what kind of thoughts did they have?

Lu Ye’s mind was a blank slate. At that moment, it felt like his consciousness was being extended over a vast emptiness, all fleeting.

“Brother Lu Ye, I miss you so much!”

“Brother Lu Ye, you still love me, Huanling really misses you a ton, it’s been so long since you’ve even touched Huanling.”

“Brother Lu Ye…”

“Brother…”

Lu Ye’s body jolted slightly, almost unable to keep his eyes closed.

“What the hell!”

“What’s Shangguan idiot doing???”

Lu Ye felt like he was being run over by a truck.

She, she, she… she was actually dreaming! A dream where he was the male lead and she was the female lead!

Good news, indeed someone was thinking of him.

Bad news, the one thinking of him was Shangguan Huanling.

Worse news was that he had become the target of her imagination.

“Ding! Not only is Shangguan idiot calculating everything, but also me!”

The system’s alarm went off unexpectedly.

Lu Ye???

He listened again.

“Shen Xitang, can you help me hold him down? Let me go first, I’ll give it to you later. I haven’t been apart from Brother Lu Ye for long, and you see him every day. This time let the elder sister have a turn, and next time I’ll let you!”

Lu Ye???

Ah!!!

“Ding! I’m so furious, I’m so angry! What on earth is she thinking?!”

The system was going crazy.

This was just a casual peek, and Shangguan Huanling’s thoughts were already this chaotic. How many times has she thought about it regularly?

He must’ve been bombarded in Shangguan Huanling’s mind countless times by that deranged host!

Little Heavenly Dao witnesses; he and that deranged host were stone cold innocent—hadn’t even kissed!

“Ding! Shangguan idiot!”

The system gritted its teeth.

This character was indeed a huge problem. If he wasn’t dealt with, future troubles were sure to follow!

Lu Ye couldn’t help but show an odd expression; his eyelids were twitching like crazy.

So this was the inner thoughts of Shangguan Huanling?

“Ha! Gotcha! Brother Lu Ye, you must agree quickly; if I can overcome the trials you set and succeed in cultivating the Supreme Emotion Immortal Sutra, will you forgive me?”

“If you don’t forgive me, I’ll just yank it away!”

Lu Ye…

System…

What the hell does ‘yank away’ mean?

6!

Lu Ye couldn’t help shaking his head.

“Brother Lu Ye, I really know I was wrong. I can definitely succeed in cultivating the Supreme Emotion Immortal Sutra; it’s our treasure! How could I possibly yank it away from you…”

Lu Ye decisively extended his consciousness.

What a bunch of nonsense, he wasn’t listening anymore!

This wasn’t the kind of stuff he should be hearing. He was really done with it; he wasn’t even the Shangguan Huanling in this reincarnation. It seemed only Shangguan Huanling’s mind was stuck on these strange thoughts every day.

Aren’t we all cultivators? Shouldn’t our minds be a bit healthier?

Now you’re thinking about this stuff? Is that healthy?

Apart from Shangguan Huanling, no one else… well, maybe Bai Qiulan too.

Lu Ye felt a mix of relief and sorrow—relieved that Bai Qiulan had entered the Emperor’s Banner, sorrowful because she had entered the Emperor’s Banner!

Thoughts continued to scatter.

More longing entered Lu Ye’s mind.

“Husband, Qingcheng really misses you!”

“Husband, please ascend soon. I want to be with you for eternity; I only want to be with you.”

“Husband, if you weren’t so strong, life would be so good. If you weren’t so strong, I could have you completely in my grasp. You would be my most precious treasure, and no one else could see you. Only I could see you, only I could possess everything about you—wouldn’t that be wonderful?”

This was Yin Qingcheng’s longing.

Lu Ye…

Actually, Lu Ye thought Yin Qingcheng would be better off raising a cat; that way, she wouldn’t have to let anyone see her cat.

That terrifying possessiveness was enough to send shivers down anyone’s spine.

“Husband, you!”

In the Seventh Heaven, Yin Qingcheng seemed to sense something and suddenly shot up.

She felt Lu Ye’s presence; it seemed he was aware she was thinking of him.

Yin Qingcheng was extremely excited and hurried to adjust her attire and makeup, wanting to present her best self to Lu Ye.

“Husband, did you feel my longing? I know you’ve lost interest in those other women. In this life, can we be one for eternity?”

“I will love you wholeheartedly, I’ll use all my strength, all my love to cherish you.”

“Husband, please don’t be mad at me; it’s just that I loved you too much in the past. I couldn’t accept sharing your love with others. I love just you, and you must love just me—okay?”

Lu Ye couldn’t respond.

But he was very aware that what Yin Qingcheng said was appealing.

If Lu Ye really spent eternity with her, her love would become twisted and morphed, consuming everything about him, transforming him into the exact figure she desired.

“Husband, can you say just one word to me? I miss you so much. Even just one word would satisfy me; I want to hear your voice.” Yin Qingcheng’s voice was filled with pleading.

Lu Ye… he was trying to say something to Yin Qingcheng, wondering if perhaps as long as he thought about her, she might hear his longing.

But before he could say anything, her hopeful expression had already turned frantic.

“Husband, it seems that after your rebirth your heart has indeed hardened, but that’s fine. Sooner or later, I will bind you to my side. Then, I want you to always talk to me, endlessly! Talk until the end of time, talk until the seas run dry!”

“Husband, in this life, you are mine! Mine!! Mine!!!”
