Chapter 1934: I am willing
Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
That night, Sima You Yue and Chun Yao just played the zither, chatted, drank tea, and did nothing.
The same was true over the next few days, but the manner in which Sima You Yu looked at Chun Yao became more intense and she even asked to stay overnight. However, she was dragged back by Wu Lingyu.
After they left, the Procuress came in, and Chun Yao ordered: “You will have someone go and lead that man away tomorrow.”
“Lead away? Wouldn’t that put you at a risk of being discovered? My Lady is going to take this risk now?” The Procuress asked.
“Znng——”
A force flew from the strings, and the Procuress was thrown away, smashing the table in the middle of the room.
“I said before, don’t question my decision anymore. Is it because I’m not your original Master, so what I say doesn’t work?” There was no longer a smile on Chun Yao’s face, and she no longer concealed her aura which was full of malevolence.
“Your subordinate knows wrong!” The Procuress knelt and kowtowed.
“His soul is too tempting, I can’t wait. As long as I devour his soul, I can fully regain my strength.” Chun Yao said, “but the current process is too slow, I can’t wait. . And my charm actually has no effect on that man, and that kid cares about him very much, it’s troublesome to have him there. You will lead him away tomorrow, and then I will take him away while he is obsessed with me. Once she devoured the soul and then injected a new soul, no one would find it wrong.”
“Yes, your subordinate understands. I’ll make arrangements now.” The Procuress returned to her senses quickly and replied.
“Get the penalty after you arrange it.”
The voice coming from behind was icy cold, she knew what the punishment was, but she didn’t dare to dally.
What surprised them was that the only person who came the next day was Sima You Yue, and the other three were not there.
Chun Yao was surprised when she saw her, the Procuress’ plan didn’t seem to involve stopping the rest at the door.
“Si Yue, why are you here alone?” She smiled and poured tea for You Yue.
“I snuck here on my own.” Sima You Yue smiled very proudly, “Lingyu always forbids me. It’s too annoying to come along together. So I ran away and then came here on my own! Chun Yao, no one will hinder us!”
“Si Yue, you are so kind to Chun Yao, Chun Yao do not know how to repay you.” Chun Yao said with bright eyes that looked as if she was extremely touched. “Chun Yao will play a song for you.”
“Yes, yes! I like to listen to you playing the zither. I also went to listen to others to play it, but it didn’t sound good. Now if I don’t listen to you playing the zither for a day, I feel uncomfortable.” Sima You Yue said.
“Alright, then Chun Yao will play it for you.” Chun Yao came to the zither and sat down and started playing.
Sima You Yue seemed to be in a drunk stupor and she didn’t take a sip of the tea in her hand.
After Chun Yao finished playing, she raised her head and smiled at Sima You Yue. The cup in You Yue’s hand fell directly on the table, and the tea splashed out and wet her robes.
“Pfftt–”
Chun Yao laughed and said, “Si Yue, are you alright?”
Si Yue felt embarrassed and hurriedly took out her handkerchief and wiped it. After she wiped it off, Chun Yao said, “Si Yue, do you want to go out and play with me?”
“Go out to play? Where to?” Sima You Yue asked.
“You have been to Immortal Hex City for so many days, have you had a good time?”
“It’s alright, I went out during the day, but I didn’t see anything interesting. Lingyu also said that it’s not fun here, and wanted to leave for other places! If I didn’t insist on staying, I’m afraid I would have been taken away.” Sima You Yue pouted, very upset.
“Are you going back?” Chun Yao was startled and blurted out.
“That’s right! It’s fortunate that I said something and he agreed to let me stay for two more days. Alas, what can I do when he really wants to take me away later.” Sima You Yue said in a very distressed manner.
Chun Yao paused for a moment while she was pouring tea before she said regretfully: “If you leave, Chun Yao will miss you.”
“Why don’t you go with me, I will redeem you.” Sima You Yue grabbed Chun Yao’s hand.
“Si Yue…” Chun Yao looked at her with tears in her eyes, then took out her hand and said, “Si Yue, you can be so happy with the Chun Yao but…Chun Yao’s contract is a death contract. It cannot be redeemed.”
“There must be other ways. I’ll talk to the Procuress.” Sima You Yue said that she was going to find the Procuress.
“Si Yue, forget it. There is no way.” Chun Yao said, “Forget it… We have wine today so let us enjoy the precious time we have tonight. I know of a place to where there is a stunning view of the night.”
“Then let’s go!” Sima You Yue said, “When I come back, I will find the Procuress to redeem you.”
“Alright.”
Chun Yao took her out and pointed to the tallest house behind and said: “There is the tallest building. As long as you can reach the top, you can see the night view of Immortal Hex City.”
“I didn’t expect the tallest building to be here in Spring Brook Pavilion. No wonder no one else knows this!” Sima You Yue looked at the top floor curiously, “I will take you up.”
“No way, you can only step forward here. I will take you there.”
Chun Yao took Sima You Yue’s hand, and the two started walking from the bottom to the top. The more Sima You Yue went, the more uncomfortable she got, and her breathing became a bit heavy.
“This is actually a good place to cultivate so you will feel a little uncomfortable.” Chun Yao explained.
“Is that so?” Sima You Yue had a little disbelief harboured deep down, but seeing Chun Yao’s smile, she suppressed the thoughts in her heart. “However, Chun Yao is not tired at all!”
“I often climb this, I’ve long been used to it.” Chun Yao explained.
The two came to the highest floor. Sima You Yue came to the window and found that the scenery was really good.
“It’s magnificent! It has a panoramic view of the entire city.”
“Right? I used to come here when I was unhappy, when I couldn’t support it. Looking at the scenery below, I felt relieved.” Chun Yao said.
“Chun Yao also has unhappy moments?”
“Well, it’s natural that people will be unhappy at times, more so for people like us in this line.” Chun Yao said sadly.
“There are so many musical instruments here!” Sima You Yue saw that the room was filled with various musical instruments, such as flutes, lutes and so on.
“Si Yue, what I am actually good at is the flute. Let me play a piece for you.”
“Alright.”
Chun Yao played a tune, and Sima You Yue was shocked after listening to it.
“Listen well!” It took a long time for her to come back to her senses, and she became even more obsessed with Chun Yao’s eyes.
“Si Yue, I want to ask you to do me a favor now, are you willing?” Chun Yao asked.
“Yes! I am willing to do anything you want me to do! Even if it is to sacrifice my life, my soul, I am willing!” Sima You Yue said.
Chun Yao raised the corners of her mouth, waiting for these words!
