Chapter Ninety-Three [Chu Keqing’s Resentment] (7000 words)
Standing at the entrance of Chen Yan’s courtyard, the young man Chuyi was stammering with a red face. It took him quite some time and effort to finally explain everything clearly.
The story begins on New Year’s Eve.
Just after twelve o’clock on New Year’s Eve, Chuyi pasted a New Year painting on the back door of the temple.
He is just a bit slow, but he is not really a fool. He understands many things and has feelings and ways to express them.
During that time, he thought it was just a dream— but for a young man, having such a dream repeatedly, with the same person each time, where the dream is filled with tender, lingering love and sweet nothings.
He already thought of her day and night, never forgetting the person and things in the dream. He always fantasized, if one day this dream became reality, how wonderful it would be if the person in the dream, who knew him so well, became real?
This is probably what any man would think.
Then... it came true!
It’s hard to describe how Chuyi felt that night after pasting the New Year painting.
There might have been anxiety, excitement, joy, and anticipation...
Then, two demonesses arrived as expected, and the three of them finally turned their dream into reality.
Well, there is no need to go into the details.
This simple-minded boy, Chuyi, like someone who just won the lottery, felt like the luckiest person in the world.
In the morning, the two demonesses told him something that felt like a bucket of cold water poured over his head!
The two demonesses told Chuyi that their fate with him was nearing its end. They could meet him at most two more times, and then their paths would part for good!
Chuyi was stunned at that moment!
It was like winning the lottery, getting a few million, having just enough time to treat yourself to a big meal... with many dreams of spending that money on a house, a car, yet to be realized.
Suddenly someone takes the money away and tells you: Sorry, you only won a trial prize.
The trial period is over now.
Chuyi went crazy at that moment!
He couldn’t accept that the happiness of his dream coming true, just when it was at his fingertips, was about to be taken away?!
The two demonesses had feelings for him, and this simple-minded boy, Chuyi, also had feelings for them.
How could he bear it!
The three of them cried in each other’s arms.
After crying, Huang Ling’Er (the Yellow Immortal Spirit) told Chuyi: it wasn’t that they were heartless and wanted to leave him, but that humans and demons have different paths!
Demons have demonic qi. Brief contact is not a big problem, and since Chuyi has a special physique, with his strong yang fire, he can withstand the demonic qi better than ordinary people.
But over time, the demonic qi would invade, and Chuyi, being a mortal, would surely be harmed by it!
At worst, persistent illness. At worst, an early death!
The two demonesses couldn’t stay and harm Chuyi.
Chuyi teary-eyed, asked if there was no way.
Huang Ling’Er told Chuyi, it wasn’t impossible, but it was nearly so.
Unless she and Tu Cuicui (the Rabbit Spirit) both reached a legendary realm called the Celestial Human Realm!
It’s said that demon cultivators who reach the Celestial Human Realm can shed their demonic qi, becoming problem-free!
But the problem is, despite countless years of cultivation and generations of legends, they haven’t heard of any demon really achieving the Celestial Human Realm.
Nor have they ever heard of its existence in this world.
(Upon hearing this, Chen Yan concluded that these two demonesses were not like Mrs. He from the Domain Realm.
They were local demons, descendants of those who escaped from the Domain Realm many many years ago— similar to their Gui Geng.)
Upon saying this, the three of them cried in each other’s arms once more.
After weeping, the Rabbit Spirit, Tu Cuicui, suddenly said something.
"Maybe, we could ask that master cultivator for help? He is immensely powerful. Our master and disciples are no match for him, and he is friends with Chuyi and has shown sympathy towards us. Maybe..."
And then, Chuyi came running and kneeled in front of Chen Yan.
Mr. Chen the Benefactor couldn’t help but open his mouth widely!
He looked closely at Chuyi before him...
This kid, could he have an innate protagonist life chart?
A simple, naive boy in the mountain village, with a unique and unusual physique!
His fate had been full of misfortune since childhood.
He grew up and was taken under the tutelage of an old monk in the mountain temple.
He met two beautiful demonesses and fell madly in love. Not only did they consummate their love, but they also generously rewarded him with a large amount of gold!
A bag of gold, yet still not satisfied...
He wanted to live with them forever?
A foolish boy with foolish fortune?
— What a protagonist in a fantasy!
Chen Yan sighed, looking into Chuyi’s eyes: "So... you don’t want them to leave, you want to live with them forever, is that it?"
"I... I got their bodies, so I should take responsibility. I want to marry them as my wives!"
Chuyi answered honestly.
Oh, for goodness’ sake... Chen Yan rolled his eyes.
I want to marry her[them]as my wives!
Listen to this, is this human speech?!
Hmm, it’s not human speech because he wants to marry non-humans, right?!!
