Chapter 561: A Familiar Return of the Swallows

"Let’s talk about something else," Michelle changed the subject, taking the initiative. "It’s not polite for me to keep arguing with you, it makes me look rude."

Yun Chuyou said calmly, "It seems you’re aware of that too. I have been quite polite and restrained towards you, even though I may come across as arrogant, I have never looked down on you. Your aversion towards me is rather abrupt, considering you have no reason to be jealous."

Why does Mr. Devil dislike you? And your cold personality is not likable to begin with.

Michelle sighed softly, "First impressions are quite strong and hard to change. You indeed have a distinct personality. If we had met in a different way, perhaps I wouldn’t dislike you, but we would still be like strangers."

Yun Chuyou agreed, "It’s better this way. If you were to show me sympathy, I would feel nauseous."

Resting her chin in her hand, Michelle skillfully changed the topic, "Do you like cats?"

"I don’t like them," the fairy denied.

"But you’ve had one as a pet before, right?"

"I didn’t like it because of the experience." Yun Chuyou looked at the photo. "We didn’t even spend a lifetime together. I regretted it after just one time."

Michelle said, "Indeed, I’ve been raising cats for over ten years, and every other day I feel like I’m saying goodbye to them. But the cats we raise are just ordinary domestic cats, not some mythical creatures or guardian spirits of the mountains."

Yun Chuyou shook her head, not wanting to waste any more words on this matter.

Miaoxuer brought up the topic of interests, purely as a way to make small talk, but also out of curiosity. It was a way to test the waters and gather some information about her.

She knew that Mr. Devil would most likely confront Yun Chuyou once she returned. If she could gather some more information about her, she wouldn’t miss this opportunity.

The little girl had ulterior motives and didn’t think there was anything wrong with digging a pit for her. Unfortunately, her eloquence was lacking, and she couldn’t keep up with her thoughts. Instead of saying useful things, she ended up saying a lot of useless ones and didn’t uncover any valuable information.

Because Yun Chuyou was truly pure, she was a woman who lacked most of the usual interests.

No, even using the word "woman" to describe her wasn’t quite accurate. Her personality traits could almost be stripped away from her.

What are some typical personality traits of women?

Love beauty, shopping, clothes, sensitive heart, easily moved by emotions.

None of these traits apply to Yun Chuyou. Rather than being sensitive, she is quick-witted. She is not sentimental at all. Her beauty is unquestionable, but she doesn’t wear makeup and her choice of clothes is simple and plain. When Michelle suggested looking at her wardrobe, she didn’t refuse. Upon opening it, they found a collection of plain clothes, all without any style, and each one not new, at least several years old. This also meant that her body had not changed for a long time.

Of course, Michelle was not aware of this, but Yun Wuxin had mentioned it before.

The physique of celestial beings stops growing when they reach a certain point and remains the same until their natural death.

The biggest physiological difference between men and women, apart from their physical features, is probably that men don’t experience the monthly negative time that women do.

Celestial beings, after receiving spiritual nourishment, no longer experience this negative time.

As a result, all the characteristics that are unique to women have been stripped away from her.

Michelle even questioned, "Are you a man?"

Yun Chuyou responded indifferently, "Does it matter?"

Michelle felt that this person was invincible, there were no weaknesses at all.

Living with the attitude of a man, a woman completely overcame the inherent disadvantage in this aspect, so where is the weakness?

Michelle decided to give up on further questioning, at this time the cake was finished, and Yun Chuyou politely saw the guest off.

Climbing over the balcony, she returned to the apartment.

Michelle couldn’t sleep horizontally or vertically, so she opened the quick-read book in her hand, trying to hypnotize herself, but it had the opposite effect. Not only could she not continue reading, but she also couldn’t stop thinking about what she had just talked about.

"Is she really invincible?" Michelle muttered to herself.

"No one is invincible, including her."

A familiar voice sounded, and confused thoughts were immediately thrown out of her mind.

She had almost forgotten this voice, how nostalgic it was, she almost thought she was hearing things.

Michelle lifted her head, with a puzzled expression frozen on her face, and before her smile could bloom, she clumsily stood up in a panic. She tripped, landing on the floor with a loud thud. It didn’t hurt her, but the floor protested with creaking sounds.

"Good evening, Michelle Hope," Bai Wei greeted.

"Mr. Devil," she quickly sat up, blushing. "I didn’t even know when you arrived."

"Actually, I have been here once before and saw you compete in Rome."

Michelle was surprised. "I had no idea. Why didn’t you tell me?"

"I was a bit busy," Bai Wei said. "I only just finished everything and can finally take a break. So, I came to see you."

Michelle pouted. "Mr. Devil, you’re naughty."

She knew Bai Wei was busy, so instead of getting angry like last time, she felt a sweet, unbreakable happiness knowing that he secretly came to see her. But she still pretended to be stubborn and said, "If you had just told me, I would have understood. Do I seem like such an unreasonable girl? If you give me a hug, I’ll do anything you say."

"I don’t believe you. You’re being greedy," Bai Wei said helplessly. "And I didn’t even have the chance to say it."

Michelle couldn’t help but ask, "Is it so dangerous? Yingzhou and the Ming Country, are they unsafe? Could it be… an evil god?"

Bai Wei replied casually, "Not this time."

"This time…" Michelle paused. "If Mr. Devil has also dealt with evil gods before, then you’ve encountered all three major disasters, right?"

"Wrong again," Bai Wei said. "I’ve encountered all three, and I’ve managed to solve some of the issues with the Red Moon. Previously, I needed golden resin and seeds to address the Scarlet Curse."

Michelle stared blankly. "You’re downplaying it. These three major disasters are absolutely terrifying."

"When you encounter them often enough, you get used to it. But what’s even more terrifying is their source," Bai Wei explained.

"Is it the source that we’re dealing with this time?"

"No, you could say I took on a mercenary job, defeated a small warlord, and supported a small government," Bai Wei said briefly.

Michelle understood. "Mercenaries, I know about them. They’re quite common outside of Blood Continent."

She imagined that there was a conflict between the villages over the water source, with small warlords and small governments, at most a half-built town.

But with Mr. Devil’s power, he shouldn’t take so long, right?

She didn’t ask, even though she was curious. A good woman shouldn’t pry, especially when Mr. Devil seemed hesitant, which meant he had some reasons he couldn’t easily explain.

Bai Wei also appreciated Michelle’s understanding. If she were to ask, he and Chao Lu’s relationship would definitely not be able to be spoken about.

… Your friend not only confessed her feelings for me, but she also said that we are destined to be together. Please wish us happiness, and sit in the front row at our wedding…

Gosh, I have a headache. I can’t think about it too much. It’s too scary, man.

Michelle brought up the previous topic again, "I just spoke to her. Did Mr. Devil hear us?"

"Partially," Bai Wei said. "I didn’t expect that she came to Europe to analyze souls. In the Eastern mysterious system, souls are divided into two parts. One is the spiritual essence, related to cultivation. The other is the spirits of the deceased, related to the cycle of life and death."

"Did she come for the former?"

"I don’t think so. White Jade Capital is a sacred place for immortals, filled with mystery. Her spiritual power is strong enough to even sense my presence, so I can’t speak openly. And in the East, there is very little research on the latter, even though it is widespread. Studying it is forbidden because the rules of life and death are unpredictable. Some people are punished after they die in the City God Temple, while others receive blessings and bring good fortune to their descendants. The City God is also a god of the underworld, formed from the souls of the deceased." Bai Wei said, "In these aspects, there are huge differences between the East and the West."

Michelle frowned and said, "Bringing the dead back to life is also forbidden here. Although there is a study of necromancy, resurrection experiments are not allowed."

"The empire has conducted research before, but even if they managed to revive the dead from corpses, it wasn’t the same soul," Bai Wei confidently stated. "Even if some memories remain, it is definite that a person cannot come back to life… they can only be reborn. The mystery of reincarnation surpasses life and death."

This research is carried out in his name. At that time, the empire was on the verge of collapse, and many dark magic schools emerged. Instead of letting it spread, it was better to gather them under his control, so that a large number of forbidden schools could be kept in check. It seemed like desperate measures, but it was actually a strategy to make the most of the situation.

"As the Gray Tide recedes, she is about to leave Europa. She will be gone in three days." Michelle asked with concern, "What does Mr. Devil plan to do?"

"Conflicts between her and I are unavoidable," Bai Wei said. "But it won’t be a life-or-death grudge. At most, I’ll make her suffer a crushing defeat and regret it for the rest of her life."

"That is already a great grudge."

"I can’t find peace within myself, so this is the only way."

Until now, Bai Wei couldn’t understand why Yun Chuyou humiliated him and harbored baseless resentment. They had no grievances between them and even had some foundation of friendship.

The old me wasn’t someone disliked, but rather a popular and kind-hearted person, although not very powerful. It’s like a dream compared to the Body Model of Optimists, but ended up getting a severe beating, which is hard to understand.

Michelle saw that persuasion was futile and didn’t say anything more. In her heart, she unconditionally supported Mr. Devil, regardless of the consequences.

"By the way, why are you at the Blue Iris University?" Bai Wei changed the topic and gave her an opportunity to show off.

"Well, hehe…" Michelle immediately started talking about her role in a TV drama and directly took out the modified script to show Bai Wei.

At first, Bai Wei found it interesting, but then he saw the scene ‘Meeting at the Rose Field’, with particularly fitting lines.

The sound of inhaling air could be heard in Yingzhou’s living room.
