Chapter 272: Chapter 166: The Ambitions of Yo Meng and Yo Long

The sunshine of the second day was exceedingly bright.

It fell on the black walls and green tiles, illuminating the eaves and corbel brackets, with the grain of the wood faintly visible, warm and full of ancient charm.

Among thousands of lotus leaves, small fish and shrimp occasionally poked their heads out, burbling out a series of bubbles like strings of pearls.

Who knows which deity painted this delightful and lively beautiful picture.

In such a splendid mountain and lake, You Su couldn’t help but lean on the railing and gaze into the distance, only regretting that he couldn’t see anything in his eyes.

He took a greedy breath of lake breeze, and Yo Meng and Yo Long draped a robe over his shoulders.

It was clearly a day for the Jade Ring Pool to be renewed, but the quiet and lovely twin sisters wore an indelible sorrow on their faces.

"Mr. You, the Patriarch has sent word that you can go to Chengtao Palace to retrieve the Lotus Heart." Yo Meng, bowing slightly, pressed her lips together and continued, "Miss Ji is also waiting outside to go with you."

Hearing this name, You Su indeed felt a bit awkward...

All because of that deeply affectionate kiss last night.

At that moment, he was holding Ji Xueruo, rapidly falling through the air, the sense of losing control in the descent made them feel as if they were back in a massive danger, and so they kissed even more fiercely, as if trying to pull out each other’s souls. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

But indulged in the embrace of tenderness, You Su neglected one thing, he was losing control over the Wind Manipulation Skill underfoot, even the Mo Song Sword couldn’t pierce into the stone walls anymore.

He had just recovered, and having been fatigued for a day, how could he handle both exerting all his energy to save himself and giving an all-encompassing kiss?

He seemed to be drained of energy like a snake demon, and actually fainted...

It is said that the playful-looking Mr. Cuihe saved them, who knows what Miss Ji would think of him, a man who could actually fall asleep during a kiss?

You Su smiled self-deprecatingly and quickly fastened his black robe, preparing to go out.

Before leaving, he turned to the two maids, gently spun around and asked:

"Yo Meng, Yo Long, is my attire okay?"

The black robe he wore was one of the gifts from Jade Ring Pool, deep black with light golden edges, fitting perfectly to You Su’s lean and athletic body, paired with his slightly aloof and clear features, it’s hard to find a more handsome noble young man throughout the Five Continents.

The two women were mesmerized but after coming back to their senses felt even more sorrow, Yo Long’s eyes filled with mist, timidly asked:

"Mr. You, are you really leaving after you get the Lotus Heart..."

You Su smiled apologetically, "Yes, I really have to go, there are still many people waiting for me."

In You Su’s mind flashed the shadows of those stunning beauties, amused, how come there was not a single man?

"But... aren’t you going to take us with you? Now that the crisis in Jade Ring Pool is over, the Patriarch asked for our opinion, and we’re willing to follow you, Mr. You!"

Yo Long clenched her pink fists, casting a nervous glance at You Su.

Yo Meng also eagerly agreed: "Yes, Mr. You! We are very well-behaved and good at taking care of people! If you don’t want us around, then we can appear when you need us and stay out of the way when you don’t, we definitely won’t cause you any trouble!"

Being trained as maids from birth, their affection seemed more affordable than that of ordinary women. In the seventeen lonely years at Cyan Wave Hall, You Su was the first to knock on their door.

The young man, like a ray of dawn, illuminated the future Yo Meng and Yo Long thought would forever be shrouded in darkness. He was stunning in appearance, possessed unparalleled talent, and saved their lives. They undoubtedly fell for this young man, but they also understood their identity as celestial maids, only wishing humbly to stay by his side.

Upon hearing this, You Su sighed silently:

"Yo Meng, Yo Long, I won’t take you away because I’m not your savior, the only ones who can save you are yourselves. I hope one day, we can meet outside the Jade Ring Pool and smile at each other, by then, you won’t stubbornly believe that you are destined to be someone else’s celestial maids, but instead have stepped out with your own strength as true immortals living for yourselves. So, please allow me to refuse."

This was the first time You Su said so much to the sisters and his first time being so sincere.

Perhaps it was the ever-anchored water of Jade Ring Pool that stirred him, that white dragon sparing company should first love herself before begging for someone else’s affection, maybe then she wouldn’t have abandoned her dragon bones, becoming a fish that can only live in the love of others.

Thus, there was a long silence, the two flower-like young girls both started to cry, never before had anyone spoken to them like this, that being celestial maids was not an irreversible destiny.

The crying grew louder and was mixed with coquettish gasps and sobs. Hearing it, You Su felt strangely restless, the cries indeed made one’s blood boil...

Yet he couldn’t doubt the true emotions of the girls, what if they really cry like this?

Suddenly, the door was kicked open, abruptly stopping the weeping.

Ji Xueruo, with a face like cold frost, scanned everyone’s face, finally focusing on You Su’s, she slowly spoke, her voice like frozen iron:

"Mr. You seems quite skilled at making women cry like this?"

You Su awkwardly twitched the corners of his mouth, explaining:

"People’s physiques are different, it’s just a cry, how can there be distinctions like this or that? It’s all a matter of emotion."

Ji Xueruo sneered, "Oh, Mr. You is quite good at protecting women, then why refuse them? Such beautiful celestial maids, once missed, even money can’t buy."

You Su slowly walked toward Ji Xueruo, smiled and said:

"Miss Ji just heard the reason, didn’t you? Why say it again? Let’s go, don’t keep the Venerables waiting."

Ji Xueruo snorted coldly, gave the sisters one last glare as she turned to leave, like a black cat guarding its food, displaying aggression.

Originally she had a good opinion of Yo Meng and Yo Long who were also twin sisters, but now the more she looked, the less pleasing they were. Only because, as a woman, she was very clear that their coquettish cries earlier were definitely intentional!

Though they gave up being his maids, they hadn’t given up on You Su!

Yo Meng and Yo Long huddled together, appearing like little maids who had done something wrong under Ji Xueruo’s sharp gaze. Not until the two walked completely away did the tears in their eyes dry up.

"Sister... Mr. You is really wonderful, I don’t want to be his maid anymore, I want to be his Taoist partner!"

Tears made Yo Long’s eyes even brighter, and the young girl made her grand wish.

Yo Meng was also encouraged, "Yes! We sisters will work hard! We will definitely become female immortals deserving of Mr. You!"

Yo Long, beaming with joy, yet a shadow passed over her face: "But we’re only at the Middle Meridian Realm... how can we possibly beat Miss Ji?"

Yo Meng stroked her sister’s head, "We don’t necessarily have to snatch Mr. You from Miss Ji... Besides, just because we can’t beat her now doesn’t mean we can’t in the future. Don’t forget she’s alone, and we are two! Moreover..."

Saying this, she looked toward the Jade Ring Pool below the terrace railing.

In the place her gaze fixed, a crystal clear little white fish was nimbly swimming.

"We still have Little White..."
