How About Becoming Dao-Companions with Me?

"A Daoist partner? No, I'm still very young. Haha." Song Shuhang chuckled dryly. It was truly a sad thing that he was still single even after entering university.

"Still no Daoist partner?" Senior Sister Ye covered her mouth and smiled.

Song Shuhang felt like he was being mocked and attacked by Senior Sister Ye.

"Then... would you like to become my Daoist partner?" Senior Sister Ye pointed to herself, her eyes blinking rapidly.

"Huh?" Song Shuhang was completely dumbfounded; he almost thought there was something wrong with his ears.

"I said, how about considering becoming my Daoist partner?" Senior Sister Ye spoke up again.

Song Shuhang then asked a foolish question, "Why?" -- Mainly because he didn't consider himself the kind of person who could exude an aura of dominance. Why would Senior Sister Ye, whom he had only just met, take the initiative to become his Daoist partner?

"Because I feel we get along very well, we have common topics to talk about." Senior Sister Ye's eyes lit up as she continued, "Although I don't know why, I have an urge to try to find a 'Daoist partner.' It seems... to be a very strong desire!"

Yes, a very strong desire! Even though she had never thought about having a 'Daoist partner' before.

But suddenly, a wish arose in her heart.

This wish seemed to be an obsession in her heart. She wanted to try to find a 'Daoist partner,' preferably someone who shared her interests and hobbies—and Song Shuhang in her eyes was a perfect candidate.

At the very least, they both enjoy reading. They share common interests and are like close friends.

"But this is so sudden," Song Shuhang said with a wry smile. He did have a very good impression of Senior Sister Ye; she was a literary girl with similar interests, and they had a very pleasant chat.

But they've only just met!

"That's true, it is a bit sudden." Senior Sister Ye nodded, then thought for a moment and said, "If you and I become Daoist partners, we won't be outsiders anymore! At that time, you can read all the books here!"

As she spoke, Senior Sister Ye stretched out her hands and pointed to the hundreds of thousands of books related to cultivation in this space!

Song Shuhang chuckled dryly. "Senior sister, is it really okay for you to tempt me like this so blatantly?"

Seeing Shuhang's awkward laugh, Senior Sister Ye also realized that her seduction had been too direct, and laughed sheepishly, "Hahaha."

Then, Senior Sister Ye continued squatting and reading, while Song Shuhang continued his cultivation.

"However, fellow Daoist Scholar Seeking the Dao, are you really not going to consider it? I feel we would get along very well," Senior Sister Ye said. "We could try to get to know each other over a longer period of time, and then become Daoist partners after some time has passed, how about that?"

Song Shuhang silently glanced at Senior Sister Ye —he knew from the feedback of the Appraisal Technique that Senior Sister Ye had two positive titles in the Jadewater Pavilion. Senior Sister Ye was quite popular in the Jadewater Pavilion!

Song Shuhang estimated that if Senior Sister Ye stood outside the Jadewater Pavilion and called out, "Give me a Daoist partner," dozens of male cultivators would immediately scramble to become her Daoist partner.

Actually, Song Shuhang was really tempted to agree to the deal because of the hundreds of thousands of books available.

However, he didn't do that because it would have been too irresponsible.

A Daoist partner is equivalent to a wife.

If he were to agree so readily, it would not only be irresponsible to himself, but also to Senior Sister Ye.

Seeing Song Shuhang's troubled expression, Senior Sister Ye blinked.

"Huh? Can't we cultivate it slowly?" Suddenly, she seemed to realize something. "Could it be that, Scholar Seeking the Dao, you have someone you like?"

Who do you like?

Before becoming a cultivator, Song Shuhang had remained single, and his goal was to find a lovely girlfriend during his four years of university.

For a long time after becoming a cultivator, Song Shuhang had no intention of having a girlfriend—in his view, cultivation was far more important than dating. Well, he still holds that view now.

After becoming a cultivator, Shuhang met several very nice female cultivators. He had a good relationship with Soft Feather, Su Clan’s Sixteen, and now Chu Chu, and also many beautiful female seniors in the Nine Provinces Number One Group.

But as for female cultivators who are to become 'Daoist partners', there probably aren't any yet, right?

So, Song Shuhang shook his head.

"Then you should really consider becoming my Daoist partner! In this 'Underground City' of Time City, twelve days are equal to one day outside. We can spend a long time together here; a year here is only a month outside," said Senior Sister Ye.

"I'll consider it... uh..." Song Shuhang was only halfway through his sentence when he suddenly noticed that Senior Sister Ye's eyes had turned red.

Oh no, is Senior Sister Ye going to cry?

The moment Song Shuhang had that thought, tears welled up in Senior Sister Ye's eyes, and large Water Drop.

I really cried!

"Waaaaah~" Senior Sister Ye wiped away her tears, then covered her face with a book and cried even louder.

At the same time, she reached out and shook her hand at Song Shuhang: "Waaah, don't worry about it. I just suddenly felt a wave of sadness and couldn't help but cry. It has nothing to do with you, waaah, fellow Daoist Scholar Seeking the Dao, you don't need to worry about it. Waaah, it really wasn't your fault!"

Senior Sister Ye was telling the truth, because she cultivated the unique and extraordinary skill of the Jadewater Pavilion, the Heaven's Weeping Canon. After mastering this extraordinary skill, her triggers for tears became very strange.

Sometimes, while reading, a single character would suddenly trigger her tears, making her burst into sobs.

Sometimes, a person's face can suddenly remind her of something, triggering her tears and making her burst into sobs.

Sometimes, when chatting with someone, a single word might trigger her tears, causing her to burst into sobs.

What's even stranger is that she herself has no idea why it triggered her tears. In short, she will cry immediately when she feels like it, regardless of the occasion.

Just now, the word "I" that Song Shuhang used in his speech somehow struck a chord with her, causing her to burst into tears.

This literary young woman, as delicate as a hyacinth, cried so bitterly, looking utterly Chu Chu, truly deserving of her title as "the Crying Tear Beauty."

Song Shuhang: "..."

Like I said before, Senior Sister Ye's tear triggers are so strange~~ But the way she kindly comforts people while crying is also so adorable.

Senior Sister Ye Si crying – her charm increases by 100, and after she finishes crying, with her eyes slightly red, her charm increases by another 20!

Song Shuhang rubbed his temples, pondering the matter.

Perhaps I could agree to Senior Sister Ye's request to become her Daoist partner first— Senior Sister Ye said that the two of them wouldn't immediately become Daoist partners, but would first spend a long time getting to know each other.

Perhaps in a few days, after Senior Sister Ye calms down, she will feel that Song Shuhang is not suitable to be her Daoist partner?

Perhaps, forming a Daoist couple is just a passing fancy for Senior Sister Ye, something she wants to try out as a Daoist couple raising game, and she'll lose interest in it after a few days?

Moreover, to be honest, Senior Sister Ye, who loves reading and shares the same hobby as him, is indeed very much the image of Song Shuhang's 'other half'.

"Then... Senior Sister Ye, shall we give it a try?" Song Shuhang replied.

"Hmm?" Senior Sister Ye Si put down her book, her face still bearing clear tear tracks, tears streaming down her face, making her look especially pitiful.

Song Shuhang, "Let's try to get to know each other and see if we're really suitable to become Daoist partners?"

"Okay, let's give it a try!" Senior Sister Ye's eyes lit up. Then, she happily burst into tears. "Then we, waaaaah, are officially a couple, waaaah~~"

"A prospective Daoist partner? Yes, that's right, a prospective Daoist partner," Song Shuhang said with a smile.

"Then let's work together to understand each other!" Senior Sister Ye wiped away her tears. "By the way, Shuhang, since we're only 'prospective Daoist partners,' we can't do dual cultivation yet. We have to wait until we become true Daoist partners!"

Song Shuhang: "..."

"Alright, first, let's introduce ourselves. A detailed self-introduction will help us get to know each other." Senior Sister Ye knelt down in front of Song Shuhang like an ancient person.

"Okay." Song Shuhang followed Senior Sister Ye's example and knelt down.

"Let me start." Senior Sister Ye summarized in her mind and said, "As I introduced before, I am a disciple of the Ye generation of the Jadewater Pavilion, and my Daoist name is Ye Si. My master brought me into the Jadewater Pavilion when I was young, so my Daoist name is also my name. I am currently at the Fifth-Grade Spirit Emperor level. My master is Walker Chu Yu, the branch master of the Silvermoon Pavilion within the Jadewater Pavilion. The cultivation technique I practice is the <Heaven's Weeping Canon>. You can deduce from the name of the technique that the sudden surge of sadness in my heart is related to this technique. However, the <Heaven's Weeping Canon> is very powerful, so don't underestimate me."

"My hobby is reading, and I especially love reading in the 'Time City' Underground City. Twelve days pass here, while only one day passes outside. I can take that time to read a lot more books... Of course, I can't neglect my cultivation either, otherwise my master will cancel my cultivation time in the 'Time City' Underground City."

"And the things I like to eat are... My favorite friends are..."

Senior Sister Ye spoke rapidly, as if she wanted to recount her entire life from infancy to the present.

Song Shuhang nodded silently and wrote down what she said.

"Alright, it's your turn now." Senior Sister Ye blinked, and she frankly told Song Shuhang almost everything about herself.

"My name is Song Shuhang, that's my secular name. As for my Daoist names... well, Vajra Gentleman Saber, Overlord Blade Song One, Wood Daoist, White Whale Saber Expert, Book Mountain Hermit, Scholar Seeking the Dao, Kindheart Cultivator!" Song Shuhang rattled off all seven of his Daoist names in one breath.

Senior Sister Ye Si blinked. "Your Daoist name is so long!"

Song Shuhang took a breath and said, "No, these are my seven Daoist names. I change these seven Daoist names every day of the week!"

Senior Sister Ye Si: "..."

Is it becoming fashionable in the Cultivator World lately for a cultivator to adopt multiple Daoist names? What a strange trend!
