[Indeed, entering the Dao with one’s own body is the most deadly.]

When Gan Duoduo heard that Ye Yu wanted her to be his partner,

her charming face immediately flushed crimson.

She hurriedly stood up and exclaimed, [No, absolutely not!]

Then, without waiting for Ye Yu to respond, she fled in panic!

Seeing this situation.

Ye Yu couldn’t help but smile.

[Oh, so I can’t handle you?]

In the next two days.

Ye Yu enjoyed a bit of peace.

Gan Duoduo completely stopped coming to find him.

However, peaceful times are always short-lived.

On the third day.

Gan Duoduo proactively found Ye Yu again.

Compared to her previous carefree demeanor,

this time, Gan Duoduo seemed timid.

Her eyes even flickered slightly.

Ye Yu teased, [What’s this? Has the King decided to be my partner?]

Gan Duoduo shook her head repeatedly.

[No, no, no! I haven’t decided.]

[No, I mean it’s not possible.]

[Little Yu Yu, we can’t be together!]

[My situation is a bit special.]

Hearing this, Ye Yu’s curiosity was piqued.

[King, what’s so special about your situation? Do tell!]

However, in the next second.

Ye Yu thought of another possibility and was immediately left in black lines.

He spoke again: [Stop, you don’t need to say anything. I’m being dense.]

[In matters of partnership, there are only two answers: agreement or disagreement.]

[A special situation is equivalent to not liking me, and not liking means rejection.]

[I’ve overstepped my bounds!]

After saying this, Ye Yu intended to leave.

Damn, he never expected that while Gan Duoduo appeared soft and sweet, her words were so indirect that he nearly got entangled.

It was really infuriating!

[Wait, don’t go!]

Gan Duoduo hurriedly stepped forward to block Ye Yu.

In a low voice, she said: [It’s not that I don’t like you or refuse you, it’s just that my situation is special, and I can’t be your partner.]

Ye Yu straightened his face.

[So, what you mean is, you like me, but still can’t be my partner?]

[What a new type of consolation!]

[I’m being consoled again; thank you.]

Gan Duoduo shook her head repeatedly.

[It’s not a consolation; it’s true. How about this?]

[Give me two more years, and if all goes well, I will be your partner!]

Seeing Gan Duoduo’s conflicted expression, it seemed she really had some untold difficulties.

This made Ye Yu feel quite strange.

[What’s really going on? Why two years?]

Gan Duoduo hesitated,

looking quite worried as she said: [Don’t ask so much.]

As soon as her voice fell.

Gan Duoduo suddenly disappeared from the spot.

Ye Yu couldn’t help but furrow his brows slightly.

[When something is out of the ordinary, there must be something wrong!]

Gan Duoduo had always presented herself as lively and cheerful.

How could she suddenly become so melancholic?

[Two years, what on earth will happen in two years?]

Ye Yu pondered this, but he didn’t dwell on it for long.

Two years is but a fleeting moment for a cultivator.

Since he couldn’t get an answer, it was better to wait!

After that, Ye Yu used his Good Fortune Avoidance talent again.

Soon, two shadowy bamboo slips appeared.

After opening them.

Ye Yu sighed to the heavens.

[Medium omen, stay on the mountain, safe and sound.]

[Poor omen, if you go down the mountain today, you’ll die without a burial place!]

Two hundred years, a full two hundred years!

Almost all the bamboo slips expressed the same message.

[If you go down the mountain, you’ll die without a burial place!]

[What on earth is going on?]

[Am I really destined to endure bitter training here on Wangyou Mountain?]

Though very disheartened.

Ye Yu ultimately chose to obey.

This Good Fortune Avoidance talent shouldn’t be wrong.

To continue cultivating in the dream, Ye Yu could only remain.

[At 217 years old, Ye Yu broke through another small realm and reached the mid-Nascent Soul Stage.]

In this past year.

Ever since Ye Yu made a two-year agreement with Gan Duoduo,

Gan Duoduo had become quite shy.

She rarely came to find Ye Yu.

Sometimes, months would pass without a sight of her.

What Ye Yu didn’t know was.

Actually, Gan Duoduo had been watching him from the shadows every day.

Also, in that autumn year.

Gan Duoduo suddenly announced her preparation to enter seclusion.

When this news broke, all the small demons on Wangyou Mountain were incredulous.

Since joining Wangyou Mountain.

They had never seen Gan Duoduo cultivate.

This much,

Ye Yu could attest to.

For two hundred years, besides playing, Gan Duoduo had been playing.

She had no idea what cultivation meant.

To reach this level of mischief was truly unparalleled!

Why would she suddenly think of going into seclusion?

Ye Yu was quite curious, but he didn’t ask too much in front of everyone.

As night fell.

Gan Duoduo found Ye Yu alone and stated that she would enter seclusion tonight.

[If nothing unexpected happens, then next year when I come out of seclusion, I’ll be willing to be your partner.]

Ye Yu felt a surge of heat in his heart.

Earlier, he had indeed been joking with Gan Duoduo.

But if he could truly become her partner,

Ye Yu would absolutely not refuse.

With such a tall stature, stunning looks, and a soft voice.

What man could resist?

Ahem, two hundred years could be considered a slow-burning affection.

So, Ye Yu earnestly replied: [I’ll wait for you.]

Gan Duoduo smiled slightly.

Then she spoke seriously: [If I still haven’t come out of seclusion by next summer,]

[Then don’t wait for me; leave immediately and go down the mountain!]

Ye Yu nodded in confusion.

Just as he was about to say something.

Gan Duoduo had already left.

After pondering for a moment, Ye Yu couldn’t help but feel a bit melancholic.

He speculated that Gan Duoduo must have cultivated some life-threatening technique.

Or perhaps she was poisoned.

[That’s why she set the two-year deadline.]

[If she passes through it, all will be well, and naturally, she can be my partner.]

[If she doesn’t make it, then it’s all over.]

[This must be Gan Duoduo’s untold secret.]

Ye Yu slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.

[I hope Gan Duoduo will be safe! ]

[After all, I really like this mountain king!]

As time passed.

Before he knew it, over half a year had gone by.

[Summer.]

[On Wangyou Mountain.]

Ye Yu looked at the place where Gan Duoduo was in seclusion.

He couldn’t help but furrow his brows.

[There’s still a month and a half left.]

[Summer will soon end.]

[Could it be that Gan Duoduo hasn’t passed this trial?]

Ye Yu felt a sudden sense of anxiety.

He once again used his talent to divine.

[Medium omen: today, go down the mountain, head south, and you can ensure safety.]

[Medium-poor omen: stay on the mountain, life and death are unpredictable, and fortune and misfortune coexist!]

Ye Yu couldn’t help but widen his eyes—[Can I go down the mountain?]

[And it’s advisable to go down today?]

[What the hell is going on?]

Just as Ye Yu was deep in thought.

The entire Wangyou Mountain trembled incessantly.

The mountain peak suddenly exploded.

A figure shot out rapidly.

Then it paused in mid-air.

The person was none other than Gan Duoduo, who had just come out of seclusion.

She was clad in a black robe, exuding an unmatched cold elegance!
