Toward the Abyss
Hearing that Lu Yang planned to visit Baili Mingyue immediately, Baili Qiushui was completely relieved. She quickly smiled and said, "In that case, I'll go and discuss the mountain-protecting formation with the Lu Lineage elders."
Lu Yang nodded. "Thank you for your help, Senior Qiushui."
"No trouble at all."
Baili Qiushui transformed into a rainbow of light and disappeared into the courtyard. Lu Yang then flew directly towards Baili Mingyue's guest courtyard.
Baili Mingyue, who had just returned to her room, sat on the bed in a daze, wondering when Young Master Lu would emerge from seclusion and whether he would come to find her afterward.
Or perhaps... Young Master Lu has already forgotten about her?
Just as Baili Mingyue was thinking about random things, she suddenly felt a familiar fluctuation of Spiritual Qi rapidly approaching.
Baili Mingyue trembled, quickly looked up, and stared wide-eyed at the door.
It's... it's Young Master Lu's aura!?
Baili Mingyue's heart raced, her face flushed with nervousness. She wanted to get up and open the door, but hesitated, wondering if Young Master Lu was here to see her master.
Perhaps Young Master Lu doesn't want to see her?
After all, Young Master Lu left without saying a word last time.
Just then, there was a knock on the door. Baili Mingyue's hands trembled, and she instinctively stood up straight, her whole body tense.
Lu Yang's commanding voice rang out from outside the door. "Mingyue, open the door."
Upon hearing this, Baili Mingyue was initially unsure of what to do, instinctively obeyed the order and went to open the door.
When she saw Lu Yang, whom she longed for day and night, appear outside her room, she was momentarily dazed. She quickly lowered her head and said nervously, "Young Master Lu, what brings you here?"
Lu Yang put his arm around Baili Mingyue's shoulder and forcefully led her into the room.
Baili Mingyue was completely stunned, her mind went blank, and she let Lu Yang put his arm around her and walk into the room.
After Lu Yang led Baili Mingyue into the house, he closed the door, forcefully reached out, lifted her beautifully curved, smooth chin, and raised her lowered head.
Baili Mingyue's eyes were filled with confusion and helplessness. When she saw Lu Yang, she was also a little nervous and inferior, and seemed to want to turn her face away.
However, Lu Yang forcefully grabbed her chin, preventing her from moving her face.
Lu Yang looked at Baili Mingyue's pale and haggard face, and felt a pang of heartache.
He didn't intend to hurt Baili Mingyue; after all, although the girl was a bit abnormal, she was still a good person.
Unexpectedly, something she had suddenly forgotten actually worsened her condition.
She's someone whose affection level is already maxed out even before they've even started a dual cultivation relationship.
Lu Yang was initially conflicted about how to face Baili Mingyue, but now he no longer needs to worry about it.
He ran his thumb across Baili Mingyue's full, red lips, looked at Baili Mingyue bewildered expression, and smiled, "From today onwards, you are mine."
Upon hearing this, Baili Mingyue visibly trembled, her eyes widening in shock.
The next moment, she opened her mouth, trembling as she asked, "R-really?! Can I be Young Master Lu's pet in the future??... Is someone like me really okay?!"
Lu Yang: "???"
He froze. He had originally intended to assert his dominance like a domineering CEO, but this one sentence completely shattered his composure.
His face darkened, and he said irritably, "What pet?! What are you thinking? I said you'll be my dao companion from now on!"
Upon hearing this, Baili Mingyue trembled violently, her expression visibly tense. She hurriedly said, "No, no, no... No! Young Master Lu! How can a useless woman like me, ugly and lacking in talent, be your dao companion? I... I'll be content as a pet! As long as Young Master Lu can give me something to eat..."
Listening to Baili Mingyue's nervous and self-conscious words, Lu Yang felt both angry and a little sorry for her.
He rubbed his forehead. He had heard that when Baili Qiushui found Baili Mingyue was not in good condition. Her parents and relatives had long since died in the war, and she was a little orphan who had suffered a lot in the war.
This has resulted in Baili Mingyue's personality still not being fully corrected after all these years.
However, Lu Yang had no experience in this area either. He pinched Baili Mingyue's pretty face in an annoyed tone and said in a commanding tone, "What I say goes. From today onwards, you are my dao companion. Of course, you can refuse."
Baili Mingyue naturally didn't want to refuse, but deep down she felt she wasn't good enough for him.
Seeing Lu Yang's response, she could only nod tremblingly, "Okay, alright."
Seeing this, Lu Yang seemed to realize something, and with a mysterious smile, he said, "Now that you are my dao companion, I should give you some gifts. What do you want?"
As Lu Yang's confidante with maxed-out favorability, Baili Mingyue had previously received quite a few rewards.
Lu Yang didn't give her anything, including the "Eight Wastelands Spirit-Locking Formation Scripture," two Fortune Trait, a beautiful bodyguard, and so on.
Besides these, Lu Yang would naturally not be stingy with the Spirit Stones, heavenly materials and earthly treasures, pills, and talismans that his other consorts possessed.
Now that Baili Mingyue his beloved, he naturally wants to do everything in his power to provide her with the best cultivation conditions, so that she will have no difficulties on her cultivation path and can always stay by his side in the future.
However, Lu Yang was quite curious about what Baili Mingyue needed.
Perhaps this will help Baili Mingyue resolve her inner conflict, allowing her to speak out and perhaps making her more confident.
With this in mind, Lu Yang smiled encouragingly and said, "Tell me, what do you want? Anything I can do will do."
Upon hearing this, Baili Mingyue's pure yet alluring face showed obvious hesitation. She seemed somewhat tempted, but her inferiority complex prevented her from speaking.
Lu Yang patted Baili Mingyue's head and encouraged her again, "Go ahead and say it. Don't worry, I won't be angry."
Upon hearing this, Baili Mingyue nodded immediately. Then, with a hint of anticipation, she left Lu Yang's embrace, walked to the bedside, lay down, and raised her bottom.
Then she turned to look at Lu Yang, her pretty face flushed, and mustered her courage to say, "Young Master Lu... hit me!"
Lu Yang: "?"
The smile on his face froze.
The two stared at each other, Baili Mingyue even twisted her waist, leaving Lu Yang completely bewildered.
No... I told you to make a request, I meant this kind of request?!
Damn it... Can he take back what he just said about not being angry?
Lu Yang wanted nothing more than to kick her, but seeing Baili Mingyue muster her courage, Lu Yang ultimately softened.
He closed his eyes, adopting a "let's just destroy it all" attitude, and strode over.
Damn it, if I were to become a monster, Baili Mingyue would definitely be the one to take the credit!
But then again... since Baili Mingyue has already agreed to be his dao companion, it's not surprising that dao companion have played around a bit before, right?
Yes... that's right!
Lu Yang made excuses for himself and stepped into the abyss.
