I Have a Date with a Thousand-year-old Female Corpse

Wei Yingyue was taken aback for a moment, and after a brief silence, she spoke to you: "It’s just a trivial matter, you don’t need to worry. A-are you really okay?"

"Saying I’m okay would be lying to you." You forced a laugh, "But under these circumstances, I have to tough it out no matter what, or else I would really be breaking my word."

Calming down, Wei Yingyue tried to distract you, to make you feel better, by bringing up a topic: "Hearing you say that, it seems you value promises highly."

"Since I’ve promised, even if it costs my life, I must fulfill it no matter what.’ This was something my master told me years ago, and in the following years, I treated it as a principle of life, as well as my way of handling affairs."

Upon hearing this, Wei Yingyue raised her eyebrows and asked you, "In that case, I hope you can give me another promise."

"Hmm?" You looked at Wei Yingyue in slight surprise, not expecting her to make such a request under these circumstances.

Not giving you a chance to react, Wei Yingyue said, "Promise me, if I’m alive, you absolutely cannot die!"

You smiled; for the second time in front of Wei Yingyue, you showed such a genuine smile.

"Alright, I promise you." You agreed.

"Verbal agreement doesn’t count."

Wei Yingyue suddenly said this, leaving you bewildered: "Then what should we do? I can’t pinky swear right now, my body can’t move."

"You can’t move, but I can."
