Chapter 23

That day.

A heavy rain began to fall.

To avoid the rain.

Ye Yu carried Zhou Zhiruo to a mountain cave.

After just starting a fire.

Zhou Zhiruo woke up.

Both of them, baptized by the rain, had their stomachs growling.

Zhou Zhiruo turned her head away in embarrassment.

And Ye Yu took a piece of flatbread from his bosom and handed it to Zhou Zhiruo.

And said with a smile that he was not hungry.

He turned his head and went to the cave entrance to keep watch.

At that time, Zhou Zhiruo only felt that the whole world was not as precious as the flatbread in her hand.

So the next day.

After the rain stopped, when the two parted ways.

Zhou Zhiruo made a promise with Ye Yu.

That when the peach blossoms bloom the following year, they would meet at the Yuelai Inn at the foot of Yanggu Mountain.

They would not leave until they met.

It was not that Zhou Zhiruo didn't like Ye Yu at that time.

But, Zhou Zhiruo was suffering from qi deviation at that time.

Whether she could survive was an unknown.

She really didn't dare to make any promises to Ye Yu.

She could only pin her hopes on the future.

Now.

The peach blossoms have bloomed.

Zhou Zhiruo not only survived, but also reached the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm in martial cultivation.

Naturally, she had to come to fulfill the promise of that year.

But, would Ye Yu come?

Zhou Zhiruo was extremely nervous in her heart.

She clutched the flatbread in her hand so tightly that she almost crushed it.

"The young lady is all alone!"

A middle-aged man with a scar on his face walked over with a sinister smile.

Although he couldn't see Zhou Zhiruo's face clearly.

But judging by her figure, she was definitely a rare beauty.

The middle-aged man was naturally tempted.

But his attempt to strike up a conversation made Zhou Zhiruo, who was already nervous, very angry.

A thick murderous aura gradually spread.

Just at this moment.

Ye Yu walked over slowly.

And sat opposite Zhou Zhiruo.

He said softly: "This young lady is not alone!"

The middle-aged man, seeing Ye Yu's not-so-sturdy build, was just about to speak.

But he found that Ye Yu picked up the bamboo cup on the table.

And with a light squeeze, crushed it into powder.

This move.

Could only be done by someone at least at the Innate Realm.

The middle-aged man's eyelids twitched.

He left without saying a word.

But Zhou Zhiruo did not intend to let him off so easily.

Her fingers hidden under the table moved slightly.

A wisp of internal energy instantly struck the middle-aged man's Jiuwei acupoint.

The middle-aged man frowned slightly, feeling only a little itchy on his chest.

He patted it casually and didn't pay any attention to it.

Zhou Zhiruo's true qi was very light.

But it was enough to be fatal.

The middle-aged man would not live past tonight, as he would die from blood stasis.

As a Heavenly Phenomenon expert, Zhou Zhiruo's move was extremely secretive.

Ye Yu did not notice it.

He just looked at Zhou Zhiruo in front of him and smiled: "You are wearing a veil, if it weren't for the flatbread you are clutching in your hand, I really wouldn't have dared to recognize you."

Hearing this.

Zhou Zhiruo hurriedly took off the veil on her head.

Revealing that perfect face.

Ethereal and immortal.

For a moment, it caused a burst of exclamation from the other people in the inn.

They really didn't expect.

That in their lifetime, they would meet such a beautiful woman.

If it weren't for the powder of the bamboo cup on the table deterring everyone.

I am afraid that there would definitely be several bold ones coming to strike up a conversation now.

Ye Yu couldn't help but gasp.

A year ago, Zhou Zhiruo looked a bit disheveled because of the fall.

Ye Yu only knew she was beautiful, but didn't expect her to be beautiful to this extent.

"Why does the Young Master keep looking at me?"

Under Ye Yu's gaze, Zhou Zhiruo couldn't help but feel a bit shy.

In this one year, she had waited far too long.

Ever since she recovered her martial cultivation and eliminated the sequelae of qi deviation.

Zhou Zhiruo began to blame herself constantly.

Why did she set the meeting time for when the peach blossoms bloom?

And why did time pass so slowly.

But when she really saw the person she loved again, she felt a bit nervous and shy.

Ye Yu blurted out: "Because you are beautiful!"

Hearing this.

Zhou Zhiruo was overjoyed.

She was not afraid of Ye Yu being tempted, she was only afraid he wouldn't be.

"Then, does the Young Master like it?"

Zhou Zhiruo used all her strength and gathered her courage to say this sentence.

Ye Yu was slightly stunned.

Then he nodded heavily. ===== CHAPTER 24 =====
