Chapter 91

After the two had just connected deeply, Xie Fuzhi’s thoughts were clear to Yun Chuyou.

"Xie Fuzhi, I am now an Astral Projection Stage cultivator, under a hundred years old. Do you know what that means?"

Xie Fuzhi echoed, "What does it mean?"

"An Astral Projection Stage cultivator has a lifespan of at least several thousand years. That is truly a long time. In a few thousand years, I will likely break through, and I might live for ten thousand years, twenty thousand, or even much longer."

Yun Chuyou laughed, "I’m just afraid that as time passes, you might find me living too long."

Tens of thousands of years feel very long, especially since she was just an ordinary person in her past life. She thought living sixty or seventy years was a long time.

In this life, she practiced in the cultivation world. Although she struggled a bit at first, later on, with the system’s help and all the cultivation resources Xie Fuzhi suddenly provided, Yun Chuyou hadn’t really felt any limits in her cultivation for decades.

Because life was going smoothly, Yun Chuyou naturally didn’t feel the pressure of a nearing lifespan. Her physical condition remained the best.

It has only been a little over a hundred years, and worrying about a bottleneck is a long process. With thousands of years ahead, Yun Chuyou is confident she can ascend through training and the support of her system.

Her growth does not completely depend on the system; she doesn’t need to make the Qingxu Sect the top sect in the spiritual world to ascend herself.

However, Yun Chuyou does not think much about the future; she just wants to enjoy the present.

Xie Fuzhi buried his head in Yun Chuyou’s neck, "How could I ever dislike you? It’s Chuyou who wouldn’t dislike me. For me, thousands of years are not enough; I want Chuyou to always be with me."

Who could say no to a playful phoenix? At least Yun Chuyou couldn’t.

She gently stroked his feathers, "If you really are that afraid and have no regrets, let’s get married."

Xie Fuzhi suddenly sat up straight in disbelief, looking at Yun Chuyou, "Chuyou, what did you just say?"

Yun Chuyou calmly looked at him, smiling, "You were afraid I’d die before you. Then let’s create an unbreakable marriage bond."

"You always say I’m your partner, and the younger martial brothers and sisters accept this too. We just need a ceremony."

Their lives are so long, and this special ceremony, which happens only once in a lifetime, could surely be made more perfect and grand.

Yun Chuyou saw nothing wrong with Xie Fuzhi, and knowing his past made her feel even more pity for him.

She didn’t adapt so quickly in the past; she always thought that if two people were together, the whole world already knew without needing to say it.

But now it seemed that what she had done was still not enough; at least, the sense of security she gave Xie Fuzhi was far from sufficient.

In their time together, perhaps because Xie Fuzhi was her elder and teacher, although she sometimes felt he was unreliable, Xie Fuzhi always gave a bit more.

Yun Chuyou’s contributions to the Qingxu Sect and to her younger martial siblings were much greater than what Xie Fuzhi gave as a teacher, but her efforts were for herself, not for Xie Fuzhi.

For Xie Fuzhi, who could easily give the position of leader of the Qingxu Sect, those powers and resources were simply not important.

When it came to feelings, she felt she owed Xie Fuzhi something. There is a saying that goes: to love someone is to always feel somewhat in debt.

Yun Chuyou was not the kind of person who would fall in love suddenly and passionately; her love was like a gentle stream, slowly building up over time. Now, she definitely liked Xie Fuzhi more than she did before.

Of course, this is also related to Xie Fuzhi himself. In this relationship, Xie Fuzhi always subconsciously put himself very low, trying hard to control his jealousy and never doing anything crazy that would make her feel disgusted.

Seeing that Xie Fuzhi did not respond, Yun Chuyou said, "Xie Fuzhi, don’t you want to be with me?"

"Yes! Of course I do!" How could Xie Fuzhi not want it? "I’ve been thinking about it like crazy."

He was overjoyed in his heart, but looked very wronged, "Chuyou wanted me to wait, so I’ve been waiting. I’ll listen to you!"

"There’s no need to listen to me so much. Doesn’t the master have any of his own opinions?"

Sometimes Yun Chuyou thinks, it’s lucky she met him. If Xie Fuzhi, who is so lovesick, had met a bad person, she wonders how much he would have suffered.

Foraging for wild vegetables is nothing. This guy might end up plucking all his feathers and turning into a bald bird.

She pointed at Xie Fuzhi, "If I were cold-hearted and unloving, would the master just keep waiting, waiting until I found someone else?"

Xie Fuzhi covered Yun Chuyou’s mouth, "No, no, no! This is such a happy thing, don’t say such gloomy words."

"I believe you, Chuyou, you won’t change your heart." Yun Chuyou is a very responsible person. Humans and demons are different; their love may be short-lived or changeable.

Just like Yun Chuyou said, in the long years ahead, she might see many who are younger and more beautiful than herself. After looking at her own face for a long time, she may feel drawn to new things.

But being attracted and changing one’s heart are different things, and Yun Chuyou is a loving and responsible person. Xie Fuzhi believes that even if she did change her heart, she wouldn’t leave him.

However, Xie Fuzhi will never give Yun Chuyou any chance to change her heart. Although he talks about being generous, in reality, the phoenix’s jealousy is very strong.

Once a third party appears, he will crush that bold intruder to ashes, leaving them completely defeated.

As for Yun Chuyou, even if she changed her heart, he wouldn’t want to harm her; he would only think of ways to win back his beloved.

"He said sadly, ‘Chuyou, please don’t say such things again. It makes me feel sad.’"

"Yun Chuyou promised, ‘I’m sorry, I won’t say things like that in the future.’"

She felt that sometimes she teased Xie Fuzhi because of how he pretended to be so pitiful.

But now that I think about it, Xie Fuzhi’s true character is different from what she thought. He is not the kind of person who is easygoing, likes to joke, and can take a joke.

In fact, he is very sensitive and delicate; he just habitually hides his negative emotions inside.

She kissed Xie Fuzhi’s cheek, her voice and actions very gentle, "Our Qingxu Sect is also something now. When we accepted apprentices before, we didn’t hold any grand ceremony. If we want to host events like the Great Competition of the Hundred Sects, we’re not ready for that yet, so let’s hold the Grand Ceremony of Contract Signing instead."

"Really?" Xie Fuzhi still found it hard to believe his ears.

"When have I ever made a decision on a whim? This is definitely true," Yun Chuyou said. "But if you don’t want to, we can also just make the most ordinary marriage contract, so you can change your mind anytime."

The kind of marriage contract she mentioned that cannot be undone refers to the life-and-death contract witnessed by the will of heaven, where they share life and death together.

Once this contract is established, the lives of the couple are completely tied together. If one person dies, the other will also die instantly.

There are many cultivators in the spiritual world who are willing to form couples. Generally, they also establish their marriage contract under the witness of the will of heaven.

Although most of the time, dissolving the marriage contract can be quite troublesome, it can still be done.

Yun Chuyou said this type of marriage bond brings only regret, with no chance for a good outcome. Even a lover during passionate times would hesitate to create a bond like this that ties their lives together.

After all, cultivators have different abilities, and the problem with this marriage bond is that when two lives are bound together, it is not that the longer life shares its time with the shorter life; rather, the one who has a shorter life will lead to their shared end.

The talents, opportunities, and skills of cultivators differ, and no cultivator would willingly tie their life to someone else’s. What if that person encounters an accident during training and dies young? They do not want to suffer the consequence of such a fate.

Yun Chuyou said, "What if there’s a problem in my training and my lifespan gets shorter? You might end up losing a lot because we create this bond. Your cultivation is higher than mine, so it would seem I would benefit more."

Of course, there are some advantages to this life-and-death bond. Even if the weaker one gets hurt or suffers some physical damage, they can receive some benefits from this contract.

However, for the one with greater talent, it is purely a disadvantage.

Therefore, if both sides are not fully willing, this kind of bond can never be formed.

"No regrets, I absolutely have no regrets!" Yun Chuyou’s desire to form a bond with him left him astonished.

She, who liked to rely on herself, was willing to place her life in his hands, showing she completely trusted him and was ready to give her all to him.

His heart was filled with great joy; how could he worry about such matters?

"Then we have reached an agreement; let’s pick a nearby good day to hold the contract ceremony."

Such a grand contract can’t be completed with just a few words; it requires a complicated process and the approval of the heavens.

Yun Chuyou said, "I am not familiar with those leaders, so let’s leave the Grand Ceremony of Contract Signing entirely in your hands, okay?"

The best way to keep someone from overthinking is to keep them busy.

Planning a wedding feels especially complicated; it is best left in Xie Fuzhi’s capable hands.

Well, actually, Yun Chuyou didn’t like Xie Fuzhi much; he was always free and would fish for hours every day, bothering her all the time.

Xie Fuzhi replied eagerly, "Of course!"

At that moment, he felt light and dreamy, as if floating on a cloud; Chuyou and he were getting married, a wedding announced to the whole world.

Xie Fuzhi thought: Today might be the happiest day of his life.
