Chapter 602 - Did She Really Like Me? (2/2)

‘It’s definitely a mistake! Yes, it’s a mistake! It’s impossible for her to like me.’

Ye Xiao muttered a few words, but in the end, he suddenly realized that he was somewhat unable to convince himself.

That was because he suddenly realized that he did not want the Phoenix Empress to fall in love with him.

It was not because he hated her, but that he was actually worried about her, more specifically, her tribulation.

Emm…

At that moment, he suddenly felt that his brain had gone crazy.

That made his thoughts very chaotic, and he had no way to calm down and cultivate.

His chaotic thoughts made him somewhat muddle-headed. He had once again come to a city built based on Jianghai city. That city that looked very familiar gave him a little sense of belonging.

“Old Ye!”

A familiar voice sounded by his ear. It was Gu Hai patrolling the streets. He did not expect that the two of them would coincidentally bump into each other.

Ye Xiao glanced at him.

“Working?”

“Yes, I’m working. Speaking of which, why are you free today? With such an important identity, shouldn’t you be busy with major matters in the entire divine territory?

“I heard that you killed the Qilin King, one of the top three Supreme Eternals in the starry sky a while ago. Is that true?”

Ye Xiao nodded.

He was not surprised because that matter was too viral. It was very normal for it to spread.

“What’s wrong with you? You seem to be a little out of sorts. This doesn’t seem like the usual you.”

Ye Xiao slowly opened his mouth and said,

“Nothing much. I’m just a little homesick, so I thought of coming over.”

“That’s good. I’m going to take a leave of absence. Come to my house for a drink at noon.”

“No need. I’ll be leaving soon. I’m just taking a walk around here.”

“Then… Do you want me to accompany you? I’m on patrol anyway.”

“There’s no need. I can leave by myself.”

Ye Xiao rejected Gu Hai, who scratched his head.

“Alright then. If you have anything troubling you, feel free to tell me. Although I can’t help you much, I can still listen to you and let you vent your emotions.”

Ye Xiao nodded. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly thought of another question. He stopped and said,

“Oh right, Gu Hai, do you think that I would like someone older than me?”

“Of course. That was always your type.”

“…”

Why did he not know that he was especially fond of that type?

“Don’t spout nonsense. Even I didn’t know. How did you know?”

“You can try to pretend but back when we were working together in Jianghai city, in the Nine Provinces, every time we watched those special movies, you always liked to click on a certain type. Don’t deny it.

“Do you remember that one series? I only knew that there were a total of four movies but you watched all five of them.

“That’s when I realized that you had this special interest in a certain type.

“Although it’s only a difference of one movie, I watch anything and the fact that you went looking for more really goes to show your preference!”

“…

“I got it. Have a good patrol. I’ll be leaving first.”

“Okay, come back often when you’re free.”

Ye Xiao nodded and turned around to leave.

He now had a vague understanding of the situation.

However, he still wanted to confirm one last thing.

Very soon, he went to Qin Yuyan’s place.

Qin Yuyan was still cultivating, and her strength had improved quite well.

When she saw Ye Xiao come over, she was stunned at first, but then a joyful expression appeared on her face.

“Ye Xiao! Why are you here?”

Ye Xiao said indifferently,

“I wanted to look for you to understand something. Are you free now?”

Qin Yuyan nodded.

“Of course I’m free. What do you want to understand?”

“I want to ask, have you had any special dreams recently? Or have you had any special feelings?”

When he said that, Qin Yuyan’s expression instantly froze.

“How did you know?”

Ye Xiao’s heart sank. As expected…

“Did you dream that you had become a phoenix? Or was it something related to a phoenix?”

Qin Yuyan nodded, but she immediately opened her mouth to speak,

“Other than this, there are some other things.”

After she finished speaking, her face was slightly ruddy.

“I don’t know why but I’ve been dreaming about you recently.”

Ye Xiao completely understood that the Grand Elder was right.

Looks like the Phoenix Empress really liked him.

The higher Qin Yuyan’s cultivation rose, the deeper the connection between her and the Phoenix Empress would be.

Therefore, if the Phoenix Empress dreamed of something, she would also have some synchronous reactions.

Moreover, when Qin Yuyan’s cultivation reached a certain level, she would reintegrate with the Phoenix Empress.

That was because she was the Phoenix Empress’s incarnation, there was also an extremely huge amount of energy contained within.

The Phoenix Empress would definitely withdraw that portion of energy and use it to resist the Immortal Tribulation!
