邪神之道 B1

Beginning Preparations

"The light in your eyes must mean something big. Were you two an item in the past? But for some reason you ended up leaving him and then came here. Did like some kind of intense argument broke out between you two and then you couldn't take it more so you left him?"

"..."

Wei Hailan's lips twitch as she looks to Ye Gui Feng who's spewing out all of his speculations without tripping over his speech.

Although there was some sense of amusing from hearing all of Ye Gui Feng's speculations Wei Hailan eventually stops him.

"Alright, alright. You mostly guessed it."

"Oh? Then wouldn't you be my like master's wife? In that case you're practically like a step-mother to me."

One's master can be considered a second father. This is commonly thought to be true and Ye Gui Feng would have to agree to it.

"Pei, pei, pei who's your step-mother? But fine him and I were indeed an item in the past. But I left him to allow him to focus on his cultivation. As someone with a Heavenly Demon physique he's made more enemies than friends."

"Ah..."

This Ye Gui Feng can imagine. To cultivation this physique one must become a god of slaughter. This means that grudges will accumulate and it is very much possible that this grudge will drag one's love ones into danger.

"I hid myself away from the world for his sake so that he needn't worry about harm finding its way to me."

"That..."

Ye Gui Feng can't imagine how painful it must be to do something like this. Despite not wanting to leave Wei Hailan had to forced herself to leave in order to allow Xie Mo Xin to focus wholeheartedly on his cultivation.

(Is cultivation truly that important? Is it really worth trying so hard to live longer over just spending more time with one's love?)

"He said that one day he'll proudly come and find me to take me away once he obtains immortality."

"...Is immortality truly that necessary? Couldn't you two have just lived a mortal's lifespan together and not be bothered with the cultivation world?"

Wei Hailan smiles. She had thought about this in the past too but in the end...

"Why must we settle for the short lifespan of common mortals when we can be together forever?"

"...True."

It did make some sense to Ye Gui Feng like this. But he still finds himself having a difficult time agreeing to this. Maybe this is because a mortal's lifespan is all that Ye Gui Feng has ever known.

On the thought of being able to live forever with someone else Ye Gui Feng smiles as well. That is his goal in obtaining immortality. He wanted to spend an eternity with Xiao Ju Hong by his side.

"I shouldn't be telling you this considering how your master had left instructions to not tell you about him being alive while you're beneath the Nascent Soul realm equivalence of your cultivation. *Sigh* forget it I'll use my identity as your master's wife to revoke that order. In any case you now know where you stand in this sect correct?"

"I honestly didn't think I would be this important to the sect..."

"That's why you shouldn't go off and disappear so randomly. You nearly gave Elder Shu a heart attack on several occasions."

"Hahahaha..."

Regardless of his special status Ye Gui Feng's attachment to the Burial Grounds Sect didn't change even if he is being used for the benefits of the sect. Considering the amount of resources and help that he's received from the sect in the Dao of Necromancy this can be considered an equivalent exchange.
