Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor-Chapter 2023: The Three-Year Promise

"I heard everything you just said."

Fang Bai reached out and touched Yan Muyu’s head, his eyes full of affection, and said softly, "I understand your feelings too. It’s just..."

"Just what?"

Yan Muyu asked, looking up.

Fang Bai smiled wryly and said, "You’re still young, not mature in mind yet. Some thoughts might just be impulsive. Especially when it comes to lifelong matters, which closely relate to your future happiness, you should think more carefully before deciding..."

Yan Muyu understood the meaning behind Fang Bai’s words, sniffed, and shook her head resolutely, "I’m almost fifteen years old, not young at all. My affection for Brother Fang is not impulsive. Being with Brother Fang is the happiest thing for me."

After she said this, she didn’t know where the courage came from, turning sideways, she opened her arms and hugged Fang Bai tightly.

Fang Bai’s body stiffened, the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily, his hands hovered above, unsure whether to lower them or not.

Yan Muyu rested her head against Fang Bai’s chin, her cheeks gently rubbing against Fang Bai’s chest, her eyes slightly narrowed, murmuring softly, "Brother Fang, do you believe in fate?"

Fang Bai said, "I believe!"

"Hmm, I believe too!"

Yan Muyu’s gaze was dreamy, as if she was lost in memories, speaking softly, "It may sound unbelievable to you, Brother Fang, but the first time I saw you, I felt as if I had known you for a long time... Brother Fang, do you feel the same way?"

Fang Bai nodded and said, "I do. At first glance, it felt like we’ve known each other for tens of thousands of years..."

When he said this, he couldn’t help but think of the Peach Blossom Empress Yan Qingyu who had accompanied him for tens of thousands of years in a past life, and his eyes couldn’t help but get a little teary.

"Brother Fang, what’s wrong?"

Yan Muyu sensed something unusual in Fang Bai, withdrew from his embrace, fixed her gaze on his face, and saw a faint glimmer in his eyes, feeling flustered, she asked urgently.

Since knowing Fang Bai, her impression of him was either determined and decisive or gentle and modest, never showing such a sorrowful expression.

Fang Bai came to his senses, forced a smile and said, "It’s nothing. Just suddenly reminded of an old acquaintance, feeling a bit nostalgic."

"Brother, this old acquaintance of yours must be a very beautiful woman, right?"

Yan Muyu, being sharp-minded, caught on to some clues from Fang Bai’s expression and tone, testingly asked.

Fang Bai didn’t hide it, nodding, "Yes. She is indeed very beautiful..."

He didn’t want to delve into this topic and stopped in time, knowing Yan Muyu’s character, she would definitely keep digging for answers.

Regarding his past life, Fang Bai wouldn’t let anyone know before regaining his peak strength, including his family in the Secular World, Xia Chenyu, and Qin Yaorao, among his confidants.

It’s not that Fang Bai doesn’t trust them, but he really can’t afford the risk.

In this world, many things are not afraid of a hundred things, just one accident.

Fang Bai knew that if he revealed his past life’s identity now, one day when all the disciples from the Emperor’s Palace ascend to the Immortal Realm, if anyone unintentionally mentions this, and it’s discovered by the eight Immortal Emperors who had joined forces against him, the consequences would be unimaginable.

By then, not only would he be in a place of no return, but all disciples in the Emperor’s Palace would face a mad attack from the eight Immortal Emperors and their forces in the Immortal Realm.

That’s something Fang Bai would never want to see.

Therefore, for the safety of himself and all disciples in the Emperor’s Palace, Fang Bai could only choose to deeply hide this secret in his heart until the power on his side is enough to contend with those eight Immortal Emperors.

Upon hearing Fang Bai admit that the old acquaintance he was missing was a beauty, Yan Muyu couldn’t help but feel a bit depressed, softly saying, "I knew it, all the women around Brother Fang are exceptional beauties."

Fang Bai said casually, "Mu Yu is also beautiful! No less than anyone!"

"Really?"

Yan Muyu’s face lit up with joy, daringly asked, "Does Brother Fang like Mu Yu?"

Fang Bai said, "How could I not? In my heart, Mu Yu is like a dear sister!"

Yan Muyu’s face fell, then she loudly said, "Brother, I don’t want you to like me as a sister! I want you to like me like you like Sister Yaorao and Sister Chenyu! How about that?"

She wasn’t the type to be shy and introverted, at this point, she decided to be upfront, hugging Fang Bai tightly again, pressing herself against him.

The girl’s delicate body was warm and her breath sweet, Fang Bai realized this little girl from the past had grown up, understanding love between men and women, it was no longer possible to deceive or console her.

"Mu Yu, I said earlier, you’re still young..."

"I’m not young anymore! Look, I’m already an adult!"

Yan Muyu suddenly stood up, puffing her chest and holding her head high, trying to showcase her figure, to prove she really is a woman now.

Fang Bai smiled wryly and said, "Alright, if you really have this thought, how about we make a pact between us?"

Yan Muyu blinked and asked, "What pact?"

Fang Bai said, "Three years from now, when you turn eighteen, if you still like me, I’ll become your Martial Dao partner. During this time, if you develop affection for another man..."

"I won’t!"

Yan Muyu interrupted Fang Bai, shaking her head vigorously, with a serious expression, she declared loudly, "Mu Yu swears to the heavens, through countless lifetimes, I’ll only love Brother Fang!"

Fang Bai said, "In that case, let’s make this pact!"

"Good! I’ll listen to Brother Fang!"

Yan Muyu was secretly delighted with Fang Bai’s promise.

For Yan Muyu, three years would just be a few training sessions or seclusions, not long at all, she would soon achieve her heart’s desire.

After revealing her feelings to Fang Bai, Yan Muyu had no worries and having a rare opportunity to be alone with Fang Bai, she naturally didn’t want Fang Bai to leave soon.

Her slender arms hugged Fang Bai, her body like a docile kitten snuggled in his embrace, they watched the sparse stars and new moon in the sky together, listened to the river’s flow beside them, her heart felt incredibly sweet and extraordinarily happy.

In the following days, Fang Bai found Liu Qingqing, Shi Xiaolian, Xiao Ying, and Fortune’s Blessing sisters, and talked with them, listening to their thoughts.

All the girls had deep feelings for Fang Bai, some were introverted and shy, embarrassed to express it directly; while others were bold and straightforward, expressing their feelings openly.

For Liu Qingqing and the other girls, Fang Bai simply made a three-year pact with them too, as long as by then they still held affection for Fang Bai as they did today, then Fang Bai would also honor them and become their Martial Dao partner.
