185 So You Knew All Along! (1/2)

”Stop dawdling around and tell me already…” Qiuyue said with a frown after Su Yang kept staring at her with a mysterious smile on his face.

Although she couldn't guess what he had in mind, her heart was filled with an ominous feeling, and her hands were squeezed into fists.

”Once upon a time, a young female Cultivator fell in love with an older Cultivator…” Su Yang began telling her a story, and Qiuyue became silent.

”The female Cultivator followed him as a traveling companion in order to seduce him, following him from city to city, continent to continent, even from stars to stars. This female Cultivator had followed the man for dozens of years. However, despite spending so long with him, she never managed to seduce him. Why do you think such a thing happened?” Su Yang looked at Qiuyue and asked.

”How should I know? Maybe she just sucks at it, or she has a really unattractive appearance.” Qiuyue admired this female Cultivator's determination inwardly despite her rude words.

Su Yang smiled and said, ”The female Cultivator was no doubt a beauty, even a top beauty.”

He then continued, ”It's simple, really. The female Cultivator believed that because of her beautiful appearance, all she needed was to stay beside the man to seduce him, and because of her mindset, she never shared with the man her feelings for him.”

”...” Qiuyue was speechless. That was it?

However, after thinking about the story for a few more moments, Qiuyue came to a realization that her previous situation was near identical to the female Cultivator's situation in the story.

Because she was confident in her peerless appearance, it was one of the reasons why Qiuyue didn't bother to share with Su Yang her feelings and only silently followed him around, hoping that he'd eventually fall for her.

Qiuyue began sweating underneath her robes. Is Su Yang trying to tell her something with this story? If she didn't express her feelings to him at the Four Seasons Academy, would she have also ended up like that female Cultivator in the story? Traveling with Su Yang for hundreds of years without having her feelings realized because of her own arrogance?

Qiuyue shuddered at the thought.

However, Su Yang continued, ”Here's another story…”

”A renowned couple traveled together, husband and wife. They went around the world in search of something. One day, however, someone asked the husband what he really thought of his wife. And when the husband heard the question, he only expressed confusion and bewilderment. He then replied with a question of his own, 'Wife? What are you talking about? I don't have a wife!'”

When Qiuyue first listened to this story, she didn't think much of it because the first story had lowered her guard.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.

”Why do you think the husband said that he had no wife when the entire world recognized the two as husband and wife?” Su Yang then asked her.

”Because he has amnesia and forgot that he had a wife?” Qiuyue casually responded with a doubting tone.

Su Yang could tell that Qiuyue wasn't aware of his intentions and chuckled, ”That's a reasonable guess, but that isn't correct. Go ahead, give it another guess.”

Qiuyue frowned and began pondering — but she wasn't pondering about the story. Instead, she was trying to figure out why Su Yang found these stories to be even slightly interesting, as she couldn't see him as someone to find joy in these stories that are seemingly meant for children.

”Wait a second…” Qiuyue's eyes suddenly widened, almost like she'd just received enlightenment, and her body began to tremble.

If the first story resembled her situation before, then this second story could possibly also be meant for her...
