Chapter 603: Waiting a Lifetime

Although the Ninth Princess told herself countless times to forget Ye Liuyun, the more she tried to forget him, the more she couldn't forget him.

Only when she saw Ye Liuyun did she realize she could never forget this golden‑pupiled boy.

"First go back to the Northern Region to settle some matters, then go check out the outer region."

Ye Liuyun had no secrets from the Ninth Princess.

She knew that although the Ninth Princess used to be willful, she would absolutely never leak his secrets.

"After you go to the outer region, will you come back again?" the Ninth Princess's concerned feelings showed plainly.

"We'll see; I heard the outer region is vast, and traveling there takes years. I don't know what I'll encounter. If possible, I'll certainly come back. I'm just afraid..."

Ye Liuyun also didn't know much about the outer region, nor what situation he'd face, so he truly didn't know whether he could return.

But the Ninth Princess cut off Ye Liuyun's words, not letting him continue.

"You'll be fine! I'll pray for your safety every day. If you ever get a chance to come back, remember to visit me in the Golden Peng Dynasty and let me know you're safe. I've decided to remain unmarried forever, waiting for your safe return in the Golden Peng Dynasty!"

"You... why go through all this trouble! What if I encounter some danger..."

Ye Liuyun hadn't finished speaking when the Ninth Princess interrupted him again.

"Then I'll wait for you too! If I can't wait for you in this life, I'll continue waiting in the next!"

Her words were unusually earnest and resolute.

If it were the former Ninth Princess, Ye Liuyun would have thought she was just being impulsive, throwing a tantrum, and would forget after a while.

But the present Ninth Princess, with her determined attitude when speaking, made Ye Liuyun feel somewhat reluctant.

Finally he nodded and said, "All right! I promise you, if I can come back alive, I will definitely go to the Golden Peng Dynasty to see you!"

Hearing her say that, the Ninth Princess finally nodded satisfied, the tears in her eyes rolling down her cheeks.

This also counted as having obtained a promise from Ye Liuyun.

Although Ye Liuyun only said he'd come to see her, not to marry her, she was already satisfied. At least then she would know whether Ye Liuyun was still alive.

"Thank you for your promise! Then I'm leaving!"

She could no longer hold back.

If she didn't leave now, she feared she would throw herself into Ye Liuyun's arms and burst into tears.

Ye Liuyun didn't keep her either; he saw her out of the Iron Eagle Sect, watching her leave.

After returning, Ye Liuyun's mood was also heavy, feeling he had let the Ninth Princess down a bit, yet he didn't think he had done anything wrong.

"But I haven't done anything wrong, so why do I feel upset?"

Ye Liuyun couldn't figure it out, so he went straight to find Wu Qingcheng, who was cultivating, to ask her to help analyze.

"What's there to analyze about feelings? You did nothing wrong. Feeling sorry for her is also not wrong."

After understanding the situation, Wu Qingcheng began to comfort Ye Liuyun.

"I think you should just follow your promise. If you get a chance to come back, go see her. As for the future, we'll talk about it later! I think if she's truly that devoted, always waiting for you, you might as well just marry her!"

Ye Liuyun nodded, also accepting Wu Qingcheng's suggestion. After thinking a bit, he suddenly laughed, "Why do you keep urging me to take more wives?"

Wu Qingcheng also laughed: "You, always attracting bees and butterflies, can I be blamed?"

"Where have I been attracting bees and butterflies?" Ye Liuyun protested unhappily.

"All right, you haven't been attracting bees and butterflies. It's those bees and butterflies throwing themselves at you!" Wu Qingcheng continued to tease Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun also shook his head helplessly.

The two of them laughed and joked together, soon attracting other women as well.

After those few women learned the situation, they all chattered away, joking about Ye Liuyun.

Seeing that they weren't cultivating either, Ye Liuyun simply took out some meat and grilled it for them to eat.

"You've all cultivated about the same? If we don't need to cultivate anymore, shall we go back to the Northern Region?"

While eating, Ye Liuyun asked for their opinions.

"Great, great! I can't wait to go back and have a look!" Lei Ming was the first to agree, and the others also agreed.

Only Long Nv hesitated a little.

"What's wrong, Long Nv? Have you sensed anything about your dragon transformation?" Ye Liuyun asked concernedly.

Long Nv shook her head, saying worriedly, "It's because I haven't sensed anything yet that I'm worried. Moreover, my cultivation realm seems stuck at the Heavenly Gang Ninth Layer Summit; no matter how I cultivate, I can't break through."

"Don't rush; keep cultivating what you should, and also go out to fight more, looking for opportunities. For now, just follow me until you transform into a dragon, then we'll talk again," Ye Liuyun comforted her.

"All right, then I'll be a trouble to you!" Long Nv said politely.

"What's there to be polite about? We're all family! You said you also like the young guy, right? Now's a perfect chance to be together with him!" Lei Ming slung an arm around Long Nv's shoulders in a hearty way, blurting out the private words she had whispered to Long Nv.

Ye Liuyun, Wu Qingcheng, and the others instantly fell silent, looking at Long Nv.

"What nonsense are you spouting!"

Long Nv's pretty face instantly flushed crimson; she just wanted to find a crack in the ground to hide in.

"Oh, what's there to be embarrassed about? Anyway, lots of people like the young guy; you're not the only one! Just say it if you like him!" Lei Ming grabbed the fleeing Long Nv and pressed her down to sit.

For a moment, Long Nv didn't dare lift her head.

Seeing Long Nv's expression, everyone knew Lei Ming wasn't talking nonsense.

Wu Qingcheng saw that the atmosphere was really awkward, so she smoothed things over for everyone.

"Look, just a moment ago we were saying you attract bees and butterflies, and now we have proof!"

After she said that, everyone laughed again.

Ye Liuyun also gave an embarrassed forced laugh twice, glanced up at Long Nv, while Long Nv at that moment was also sneaking a look at Ye Liuyun's reaction.

Their eyes met, making it even more awkward.

Long Nv quickly turned her head away.

Ye Liuyun also looked somewhat pleadingly at Wu Qingcheng.

Wu Qingcheng sat beside him, hugged his arm to comfort him, then joined everyone in teasing him, then scrambled to eat the barbecue, only then fully eased the awkwardness.

Ye Liuyun silently sent a Transmission Voice to Wu Qingcheng: "What's wrong with me? Why am I causing trouble everywhere?"

"This isn't your fault!" Wu Qingcheng also knew it couldn't be blamed on Ye Liuyun; he simply had no such intention.

Moreover, Ye Liuyun had already done well, trying hard to reject other women's admiration.

If anyone is to be blamed, it can only be Ye Liuyun for being too outstanding.
