Chapter 302 - 299: The Wicked Old Demon
"Hmm, seeing as you’ve acknowledged your mistake with a good attitude, I’ll forgive you,"
Ye Xuan nodded, adopting a look of someone who could rectify his errors, magnanimously accepting Yu Yi’s apology as if it were an obligation.
"Then, can you tell me now how to solve the problem I have?"
Yu Yi forced a smile onto her pretty face. She had made up her mind that once she learned what she wanted to know from Ye Xuan, he would be of no further use to her. Then, she could do as she pleased.
"Why should I tell you right now? What if I tell you and you go back on your word?" Ye Xuan said with a playful smile, "How about this, one month. If you abide by the rules and maintain a good attitude for one month, I will help you advance to the Sixth Grade Demon King realm, how does that sound?"
"One month, alright. But if I find out you’re fooling me, you’re dead," said Yu Yi. She knew Ye Xuan wasn’t a fool; he was as clever as a ghost and would have anticipated her reneging. But not to worry, it’s only a month. She could wait.
"Fooling you? I don’t have that kind of free time. All right, off you go. I need to rest," Ye Xuan gestured dismissively to Yu Yi.
"You’d better be."
Yu Yi stared at Ye Xuan for a while but eventually suppressed the urge to beat him up and left the room.
Watching the colorful figure exit the door, the corners of Ye Xuan’s mouth slowly curled up. He knew that Yu Yi must despise him by now, but he believed that this would change over time. As long as he stayed in the Skyfire Hall for a while, Yu Yi would definitely not kick him out in the future. Even if he wanted to move, she wouldn’t allow it.
It wasn’t that Ye Xuan insisted on staying in the Skyfire Hall, but it was suitable for cultivation. On the other hand, with Yu Yi, a hot-tempered woman around, unwanted intruders were unlikely to blunder into the hall; indeed, it was an excellent place for cultivation. Why should he give up such a good place?
