Madam, please ascend.

Chapter 153 Night Talk
Obviously her appearance has not changed, and her figure and temperament seem to be the same.

But why does he give people the feeling of being two completely different people compared to Song Xinci in the previous life?

Is it me who has changed, or is it her who has changed?
Yun Yi understood in his heart that after living a new life, he was no longer himself, and she was no longer herself.

The two looked at each other in silence for a moment.

Wang Shen noticed the subtle emotions and waved his sleeves. He took the jar of wine and disappeared somewhere, leaving only one sentence: "I will leave early tomorrow morning."

Song Xinci's eyes fell on the man in front of her, with some questions and a hint of resentment in them.

Facing her question, Yun Yi did not rush to answer, but said: "Why don't we go to Chan Chan City together? This should be your first time here too."

"it is good."

The two walked out of Liuxian Inn side by side. At this time, the sun had set outside the house and the bright moon was hanging high in the sky.

An evening breeze blew past, carrying a hint of the coolness of the lake and the subtle fragrance of lotus flowers. Yun Yi took Xin Ci to the riverside in the city. Unlike the bustling scene of the previous few days, it was now deserted, with only a few passers-by.

Yun Yi found a high and wide roof, and after making sure that there was no one around, he sat there with Song Xinci.

Moonlight. Beauty. The distance between our two hearts seems to have grown a little closer.

Song Xinci took the initiative to hand over a Xumi ring and said, "The things inside are for you. Don't forget to return the ring to me."

Yun Yi took it and used his spiritual power to explore inside. He was immediately surprised, "So many heavenly-grade sword sharpening stones? And there's even a sword case made of Tianxin wood?"

"Well, this is a gift in return for the soft sword you gave me."

"It's just plain obvious, isn't it?"

Yun Yi put away the Sumeru Ring without changing his expression, looked up at the night sky, and thought that the stars were very beautiful tonight.

Song Xinci said dissatisfiedly: "I said I would return the Xumi Ring."

"I give you a ring, and you give me a ring too. That's only fair."

"Yun Yi, I never realized you were so shameless before."

"What's the big deal? If being thick-skinned could be used to achieve the state of harmony with the Dao, I would at least be at the state of harmony with the Dao."

Although she knew that he was teasing her on purpose, Song Xinci couldn't help laughing. She asked seriously, "You haven't given me an answer to the question I just asked you."

Yun Yi naturally knew what she was referring to, so he replied seriously, "I'm not in a hurry to remove the Heart Gu, I'm just worried that it will hinder your future cultivation."

"This is my own decision. Now that I have made it, I will not regret it."

"But when I pretended to be poisoned by Aunt Qiu, you were clearly very angry."

"That time, she secretly planted the same heart Gu on both you and me, but this time I planted the Gu on you myself, so it's naturally different."

Yun Yi asked knowingly, "What's the difference?"

Song Xinci suddenly took the initiative and stared at Yun Yi, making him feel a little embarrassed.

She said word by word, "If two people love each other, then mutual understanding is naturally a beautiful thing. But if there is only disgust between them, then mutual understanding is only disgusting."

Yun Yi smiled as he took out the sword case and placed the Fangyuan Sword inside, saying with emotion, "Just right."

Song Xinci said dissatisfiedly: "You are always like this, talking about him."

"I didn't care about Zuo Yan and him. I wanted to say that being with you is just right."

"Ok?"

"Ah."

Song Xinci suddenly turned her head away and said quietly, "I'm not stupid. I know it was selfish of me to drag you into this life-or-death situation in Wuming Town. So it's only natural that you hate and resent me." Yun Yi said, "But that's fate. Blessings and disasters are always unpredictable. I've never blamed you. If I hadn't met you and your son that day, perhaps I would have stayed in this town and died that night in an unclear manner."

"Then why do you always avoid me?" Song Xinci was just a little slow in emotions, but she was definitely not stupid. "If it weren't for Fuyao Sect meeting you, perhaps we would never meet again."

"At that time, I just wanted to pursue a life without you."

"why?"

"The gap between our cultivation levels is enormous. If I go back to the Demon Sect with you, I'll just be your puppet. Xinci, you must have thought the same thing, didn't you?"

Song Xinci did not refute because it was true.

She was unwilling to give in and asked, "Then why did you change your mind later?"

Yun Yi replied, "Because your attitude towards me has changed. When we become equals, I don't have to look up to you all the time. Only then can I feel at ease being by your side."

Song Xinci was speechless.

"The way for a husband and wife is to treat each other with respect and equality, not to be bound together as husband and wife."

Yun Yi looked at the people around him and couldn't help but think of Song Xinci in his previous life. She always stood alone on the top of the mountain, aloof and arrogant, and only wanted to ascend to heaven.

She forgot all the emotions and desires of the human world, and gradually forgot herself. Only the matter of "becoming an immortal" seemed to be a curse surrounding her, but she seemed to have never thought about what to do after ascending to become an immortal.

If the purpose of becoming an immortal is to live a free and easy life, then she might have been a free person by now?
Song Xinci felt the gazes of the people around him, which were as bright and clear as moonlight, without a trace of impurities.

There was no desire in his eyes, only pity and a little confusion.

But the disgust that once existed is gone.

Song Xinci's heart knot quietly untied, and she asked, "Zhuozhuo and Nianyi are both safe and sound. Will you accompany me back to the Demon Sect?"

Yun Yi said in embarrassment: "I didn't expect that I would have another master. I should go somewhere with him to practice swordsmanship..."

"Then I'll accompany you this time."

"what?"

"I just figured out some things. In the past, I always thought about taking you away, but never thought about following you. In fact, we can be together."

Yun Yi suddenly chuckled, his eyes full of tenderness.

Song Xinci said, "Perhaps this is how we should be. You accompany me all the way, and I accompany you. If we ever get separated one day, at least there will be no regrets. At least at this moment, I want to be with you."

"Thank you." Yun Yi couldn't help but put his arms around her. She was so warm and soft in his arms, and she didn't struggle. The two of them just leaned against each other, quietly looking at the full moon in the night sky.

The moonlight was hazy and they were obsessed with each other. All they could hear was each other's heartbeat and breathing, and their noses were filled with each other's scent.

At night, the sounds of life in Chancheng fade away, leaving only the chirping of cicadas and the barking of dogs, making it a peaceful place. Although Fusheng Temple has closed its gates, residents still hang lanterns at night to pray for blessings and ward off evil spirits.

It's a rare warm and quiet place.

Song Xinci's voice suddenly rang out: "Don't move your hands."

Yun Yi said aggrievedly: "The fabric of the clothes is a bit slippery, and my hand slipped down accidentally."

"I think you're wrong. If being thick-skinned can achieve Dao harmony, you would at least be at the Ascension Realm and could go to heaven and become a thick-skinned immortal."

"Then when you ascend to become an immortal, I won't have to stay alone in the mortal world. That's not bad."

"You are...slippery-tongued."

"Don't talk nonsense, I am a rare gentleman in the world."
