Chapter 326: A Rainy Evening

Saying he was not afraid would be a lie.

Some fears were carved into the very core of a person.

How could they possibly change so easily?

Even now, the terrifying image of that enormous snake would still appear in Bai He’s mind from time to time.

"I don’t care anymore. My Third Senior Sister can go, but I am going with her."

Bai He had already made up his mind and no one could change his decision.

As far as his Third Senior Sister was concerned, she had no desires and no attachments.

In this lifetime, she cultivated solely for revenge.

Her entire life was devoted to revenge.

If she could not take revenge, then living would have no meaning at all.

When Bai He found her and told her where Shi Gui was, yhe light that flashed in Zhou Yifei’s eyes could not be hidden.

She smiled and said, "It has been a long time since we last met. I wonder whether he has prepared himself for death yet."

"Third Senior Sister, I will go with you."

"You don’t need to come. This time, I will make complete preparations. Even if Shi Ran personally comes, I will not let him escape."

Looking at the resolute determination in Zhou Yifei’s eyes, Bai He still wanted to say something.

But in the end, he remained silent.

Bai He returned to Baize Peak in a daze.

Ye Shiyuan and Xu Feng had already finished their cultivation and returned.

Bang.

Bai He walked straight into Ye Shiyuan.

Ye Shiyuan steadied him by the shoulders.

"Master, where did you go?"

"I went to see my Third Senior Sister."

Ye Shiyuan thought for a moment.

"Was it because of Shi Gui?"

Bai He nodded.

"Mm. So you still remembered."

[ Host, of course Ye Shiyuan’s memory is better than yours. You’re the only one who forgets things. ]

Mo Zhu was clearly taking Ye Shiyuan’s side.

Bai He had known that for a long time already and had long since gotten used to it.

"Master actually doesn’t have to concern yourself with him."

"How could I not? Shi Gui is that kind of person. If I don’t keep my promise, he will kill me."

Ye Shiyuan frowned slightly.

"Then I’ll go kill him. Wouldn’t that solve all of Master’s worries?"

Bai He was stunned.

Ye Shiyuan really made it sound so easy.

Did he even know who Shi Gui was?

That was Shi Ran’s elder brother.

Although he was certainly weaker than the Demon King Shi Ran, he was absolutely not an ordinary demon.

"Master doesn’t believe I can kill him?"

"No, no. I wasn’t doubting you."

Although Bai He denied it, Ye Shiyuan could tell that Bai He simply did not believe him.

"Master, the growth I’ve achieved during these two years at Linyuan Pavilion is beyond anything you could imagine. I may not actually be weaker than Shi Gui."

Shi Gui looked down on Ye Shiyuan for no reason other than his age.

If Shi Gui knew that Ye Shiyuan’s strength was already worthy of wielding the Dawnmaker Divine Sword in his hand, he would certainly be greatly shocked.

"But if you do that, you will get hurt."

Even if Ye Shiyuan truly possessed that level of strength, killing Shi Gui would only result in both of them suffering heavy injuries.

Bai He did not want to see such an outcome.

Ye Shiyuan’s heart softened.

Sure enough, his Master still worried about him.

He could not help reaching out his hands and taking Bai He’s hand into his own.

The soft feeling in his palm was strangely wonderful.

The affection in his eyes seemed as though it would overflow at any moment.

Looking into his eyes, Bai He suddenly felt his face growing warm.

Subconsciously, he wanted to look away.

Yet it was as though Ye Shiyuan’s eyes had completely locked onto his gaze, leaving him unable to move.

In truth, they really did not have much time to spend quietly together.

Ye Shiyuan had never been particularly good at expressing his feelings.

"Shiyuan, what are you thinking about?"

It was clearly a very simple question, yet it seemed to strike something deep inside Ye Shiyuan.

His expression immediately became flustered, and he hurriedly looked away.

"N... nothing. I wasn’t thinking about anything."

He hastily released Bai He’s hand and turned around.

His footsteps became hurried and he walked away very quickly.

Bai He was completely confused.

He did not think he had done anything at all.

[ Host, do you think Ye Shiyuan is feeling shy? ]

"No way. I didn’t do anything."

[ But he is obviously embarrassed. Even if you didn’t do anything, he still is. You and him have already been together for several years. Would a normal couple who had been together for this many years still be progressing this slowly? ]

What exactly did Mo Zhu mean by that?

Was he saying that he was not being proactive enough?

But how was he supposed to be proactive?

Bai He scratched his head, feeling extremely frustrated.

Being in love was really troublesome.

[ Then break up with him, Host. ]

Bai He: ...

No matter what the reason was, Bai He could not possibly break up with Ye Shiyuan, alright?

He still liked Ye Shiyuan very much.

Besides, if he really broke up with him, Ye Shiyuan would definitely fall into darkness and lose control.

At that point, Bai He’s situation would probably become even more dangerous.

Be proactive... be proactive?

Bai He kept repeating those words in his heart as he walked into the room.

Although it was troublesome, he still seriously thought about the problem.

By the time night fell, Bai He had slept for two hours.

Not long after waking up, he stretched his body lazily.

At some point, it had begun to rain outside.

The rain was not heavy.

A gentle drizzle filled the air, creating a uniquely beautiful atmosphere.

"Shiyuan?"

Ye Shiyuan had just returned.

A few raindrops clung to his hair and his clothes.
