Capítulo 1084: Chapter 853: What a Fiancée Should Do (Part 3)

People’s smiles included not just the “auntie smile” of watching young couples on a date, but also contained other emotions… an anticipation for the unification of lands, and a weariness of the past chaotic times. As long as these two truly come together, the countdown to unifying the chaotic times begins.

Otherwise, no matter how famous an ordinary couple is, they wouldn’t receive the collective blessing and favor of everyone, nor would everyone subtly lend their support.

The night before last, Ye Jiuyou hadn’t realized this layer of meaning, but today she saw the mentality clearly in people’s eyes.

Some were getting bold, already shouting “Kiss!”…

Ye Jiuyou glanced over coldly, the one who shouted felt chills all over, and his friend quickly tugged him to signal him to shut up. At the same time, Zhao Changhe’s arm suddenly tightened around her waist, holding her back, also to stop her from acting rashly.

In fact, Ye Jiuyou had no plans to act rashly; the cold glare was just an instinctive reaction. With Zhao Changhe’s intervention, she naturally gave him face and didn’t continue to react, merely snorting softly and lowering her head to continue sipping her milk.

But she forgot that this was an embrace around the waist… she didn’t even have the consciousness to break free.

Was it because last night, when she was injured, she was held like this in his embrace?

Suddenly, there was a commotion from downstairs, interrupting people’s thoughts. The two turned to look below, and saw a slender young man stride from one end of the long street, stopping outside the tavern not far away. Cupping his hands, he declared in a loud voice, “Lin Yongle of Minzhong requests a lesson from Brother Wei Zhijie!”

From inside the tavern came another young man’s laughter, and someone leapt down from the building: “As you wish.”

Zhao Changhe looked nostalgically at the current scene of a martial arts challenge on the long street, finding it a very distant memory.

These two names were ones he had heard before, figures on the new Hidden Dragon List, fresh talents of the new generation in the Worldly Society. In less than three short years, a new generation had already replaced the old, and he himself was now an “old predecessor.”

From beside him came Ye Jiuyou’s voice: “Do you like this scene?”

“Yes… I liked the Worldly Society of those days. Once disappointed in it, but now it feels beautiful in memory.”

“So you don’t like the Demon God, not even your current self. What you’ve always liked is the heroic spirit and fervor of the Worldly Society, not the machinations and calculations of a Demon God.”

Zhao Changhe finally withdrew his gaze from the flashing swords below, turning to glance at Ye Jiuyou: “Actually, it’s about the same, just a change of battlefield… truthfully, my daring to make advances on you is an example of lawless bravery…”

Ye Jiuyou couldn’t help but laugh: “This can only be called audacious lust.”

“That’s what audacious lust is.” Zhao Changhe tightened his hold around her waist, and Ye Jiuyou instinctively fell forward, leaning against his shoulder nest.

“You…” She was about to push away, but Zhao Changhe quickly whispered in her ear: “Your current role is my fiancée, unless your promise to send me to Guanglong doesn’t count, otherwise, even as an act, we have to show it to the people.”

Ye Jiuyou’s hand lost its strength to push, as he could always timely offer an excuse, because she actually just needed an excuse, to convince others and herself—to satisfy the supreme self-esteem of a top-tier Demon God.

“Who do you think will win?” Zhao Changhe didn’t let her dwell on it, quickly finding another topic for her.

Ye Jiuyou lazily leaned against his shoulder nest, answering: “That Wei Zhijie has stronger cultivation, but weaker real combat experience… if the fight drags on, I bet on the Lin guy.”

Zhao Changhe nodded, Wei Zhijie should be a skilled member of Wei Changming’s clan, maybe even his son… the greatest flaw of such noble family disciples is that they rarely have the chance to wander the Worldly Society alone, just like the choice Tang Buqi faced back then, turning into Tang Bukui from Tang Buxi. This is one of the reasons the great aristocratic families gradually decline in the currents of these times, having only inheritance and resources, but lacking the courage to face life-and-death trials.

People say Zhao Changhe advanced quickly, but how many scars accompanied this path of advancement, how many times was he hanging by a thread.

The cowardly starve, the daring overstuff, fighting is only an expression of one aspect. To even dare to pursue Ye Jiuyou, how is that not putting one’s head on the line, defying all rules. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

But at the moment of truly holding her in his arms, what achievement could compare to this satisfaction?

Even if now she only admits to a slightly intimate relationship as a Miss of the Li Family… since the steps have been taken, it will eventually reach the top, it won’t take long.

But no matter where the path leads… such street scenes of battles are still fondly remembered.

“Should we go back and have a fight?” Zhao Changhe said, meeting Ye Jiuyou’s suddenly strange look, hurriedly explaining: “I don’t mean in bed…”

Ye Jiuyou: “…”

Zhao Changhe said earnestly: “I want to have a real fight with you… I wish to break through the Imperial Realm Third Layer, but lack sufficient real combat, especially with opponents of your level.”

Ye Jiuyou chuckled softly: “Alright… but be careful, if there’s a real combat epiphany, I won’t hold back… and if I don’t hold back, you might die, and I’ll take the opportunity to claim your life, ending it once and for all.”

“Truly afraid of falling for me, huh?” Zhao Changhe smiled: “But I think you can’t manage that.”
