However, after that night, Yu Luocha's attitude towards Ba Jie seemed to have changed a little. She no longer followed Ba Jie around, nor did she allow him to touch her as he pleased. She spent most of her time in seclusion inside the wooden hut by the lake. The most she did was stroll along the lakeside and pick some wildflowers to decorate the exterior of the wooden hut.
Coincidentally, Ba Jie was getting bored after spending more than a year in a frenzy. Seeing how Yu Luocha was behaving, he decided to go with the flow.
As a result, Ba Jie often visited Miao Yi's place. He even followed Miao Yi into the mountains to watch him cultivate.
The sky was blue, the mountains were green, and the water was green. Miao Yi's half-naked body endured the powerful impact of the waterfall.
Eventually, Miao Yi's stamina was completely drained and he fell into the water. He swam back to shore, climbed up, and collapsed on the ground, panting heavily.
With a flower in his mouth, Ba Jie leisurely walked over and crouched beside Miao Yi. He plucked the flower out of his mouth and looked down at Miao Yi, chuckling, "I say, Boss. You're just making things difficult for yourself!"
Miao Yi ignored him and closed his eyes to rest for a while. When his breathing had stabilized, he jumped back into the water and washed himself before climbing back up. As Ba Jie handed him a set of clean clothes and changed into them, he asked, "You seem to be quite free lately."
He had also noticed that Ba Jie was running towards him more frequently now.
Ba Jie chuckled, "I've always been like this." He was puzzled as well. He didn't know what Yu Luocha was up to. It had been a few months since she let him touch her.
Miao Yi asked, "It's been more than a year. How has your cultivation been since you met her?"
Ba Jie hurriedly nodded and chuckled, "Not bad. Not bad. I've made some progress."
"There's less than a year left," reminded Miao Yi, who was buttoning up his waist.
Ba Jie couldn't bring himself to smile anymore. He knew what Miao Yi was referring to, so he nodded and said, "Mm."
After putting on his clothes, Miao Yi patted Ba Jie's shoulder and said, "Ol 'Second, it's about time. Let's not waste any more time. That woman is not to be trifled with. The formation is about to be lifted, and she might come up with some devious ideas. We can't wait until it's over. We have to deal with her now!"
These words reminded Ba Jie of something. Yu Luocha had indeed been acting rather strangely lately. Could she really be harboring some ulterior motives?
However, people had feelings. Over the past year, he and Yu Luocha had been very happy together. How could they not have any feelings for each other? When he thought about making a move on Yu Luocha, he suddenly felt a little scared and lowered his head.
Miao Yi noticed his strange reaction. He stared at him coldly and said, "You want to let her go? Believe it or not, once she recovers her powers, the first person she will kill will be me! "
Ba Jie sighed and said, "Big Brother, that's not what I meant. After all, I've spent more than a year with her. I think she's not a bad person. Maybe things aren't as bad as you think …"
Miao Yi pushed his shoulder away and said in a deep voice, "What are you trying to say?"
Ba Jie shook his head and said, "Big Bro, I didn't mean anything by it. After all, after spending some time with her, I really feel that she's a decent person. I feel like we're friends now. I can't bring myself to kill her!"
Miao Yi asked, "He's not bad? Hehe, why do you think he's not bad? That's because she has a favor to ask of you, and she wants to avoid this disaster. Friends? Who do you think she is? She's the mighty Jade-Faced Buddha, a person of great authority. Who do you think you are in her eyes? Do you think someone of her status would want to be friends with you? Since when did you become so soft-hearted? This isn't like Second Bro's personality! You can't bring yourself to do it? That's fine. I'll do it. However, you have to help me out. You have to make sure to kill her in one strike and completely eliminate this potential threat! "
Under Miao Yi's overbearing gaze, Ba Jie averted his eyes, not daring to look him in the eye. He really wanted to beg his Big Brother to let Yu Luocha go. However, there were some things that even he wasn't confident in, and he couldn't be sure of either. Could he guarantee that Yu Luocha would let his Big Brother go as if nothing had happened after she recovered her transcendence energy? If she didn't, then he wouldn't be able to bear the consequences. He didn't dare to imagine the consequences either. His Big Brother was currently implicated in the lives of so many people. His sisters-in-law and Yue Yao were both going to be widows. His Little Sister would probably never forgive him for the rest of her life. He didn't dare to take such a risk.
In comparison, Yu Luocha was still not as important as Ba Jie on this side. At the moment, he couldn't say that he loved Yu Luocha. He only had feelings for her.
After weighing the pros and cons, Ba Jie lifted his head and forced a smile. "Fine! I got it. "
"Rest for a day and recharge your energy. Let's discuss a place to make our move!" Miao Yi patted Ba Jie's shoulder again, then turned around and left.
Ba Jie lowered his head and followed behind...
A day later, Ba Jie stood outside the stilt house by the lake. He hesitated for a long time, not daring to go in and see Yu Luocha.
On the other hand, Yu Luocha would come out at this time every day to take a stroll along the lakeside. When she opened the door and saw Ba Jie standing outside, she was taken aback. She walked down the wooden steps and asked with a smile, "What are you doing outside?"
Ba Jie raised his head, startling Yu Luocha. Ba Jie's face was haggard and his eyes were dark, as if he hadn't rested for a long time.
Yu Luocha cupped his face with both hands and asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"
Ba Jie pried her hands away and forced a smile. "I'm fine. I just spent some effort to make something new for you to see."
Yu Luocha asked curiously, "What is it?"
Feeling a little guilty, Ba Jie avoided her gaze and said, "You'll know when you come with me. It's not far. You'll see it in a while." He then turned around and left.
Yu Luocha was taken aback. Her eyes flickered as though she had understood something. She stared at his back, then slowly turned around to look at the house Ba Jie had built for her. This was her home. She had spent her carefree and happy days here. Her eyes were filled with reluctance to leave, as though she would never be able to return once she left.
"Let's go!" Ba Jie turned around and saw that Yu Luocha was still standing there, so he urged her on.
Yu Luocha squeezed out a forced smile and followed after him.
The two of them didn't utter a single word along the way. Ba Jie walked in front with his head lowered, while Yu Luocha stared at his back in confusion. She followed behind him at a moderate distance.
The two of them walked into a valley. Yu Luocha turned around to look at the barren valley. When Ba Jie suddenly stopped in the middle of the valley, she stopped as well.
Ba Jie turned around and forced a smile. "Wait here for a moment. I'll be right back."
He had only taken a few steps when he suddenly heard Yu Luocha yell, "Ba Jie!"
Ba Jie turned around and squeezed out a smile. "I'll be right back."
A faint smile appeared on Yu Luocha's face as she asked, "Do you regret it?"
Ba Jie knew what she was asking. Did he regret getting together with her? He shook his head, indicating that he didn't.
The faint smile on Yu Luocha's face gradually brightened, and tears began to well up in her eyes.
Ba Jie couldn't face her. He turned around and walked forward with a gloomy expression, his hands slowly clasped together in front of his chest.
An indistinct stench of a wild beast wafted into the valley. Miao Yi appeared from the direction of the valley with a sword artifact in his hand, followed by a pack of wild wolves. On the other side of Ba Jie, a pack of wild wolves also appeared, and the two of them came to intercept him.
Yu Luocha looked back and forth, then turned around to face the approaching Miao Yi. It was as though everything was going according to her expectations. Her expression was unusually calm, and so was her tone as she said, "Ba Jie, do you know why I didn't allow you to touch me for the past few months?"
She gave him the answer with her actions. She gently pressed a hand against her chest and pulled down her loose monk robes, revealing her protruding belly.
Miao Yi, who was brimming with killing intent, was instantly dumbfounded. His eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as he stared at Yu Luocha's protruding belly. Combined with Yu Luocha's words, it wasn't hard to guess what was going on.
Yu Luocha then turned around to face Ba Jie, who was still walking forward with his back to her. "You brought me here, saying that you have something new to show me. So I brought something to show you as well. Ba Jie, don't you want to take a look? If you don't, you'll regret it for the rest of your life! "
Still clasping his hands together, Ba Jie turned around to look at Yu Luocha's protruding belly. He instantly felt as though he was struck by lightning, and his entire body froze on the spot. He was truly dumbfounded.
He finally understood why Yu Luocha hadn't allowed him to touch her for the past few months. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to hide the truth about her belly. He suddenly recalled Yu Luocha's words from before. She said that she didn't want to go back to being a jade-faced Buddha anymore, and that she wanted to stay here and be his wife.
Yu Luocha then turned to Miao Yi and calmly said, "When it comes to physical strength, I am no match for you. Especially in such an environment. Not to mention, I am also pregnant. There is no way I can fight you. Even if I tried, I would only end up dead. Niu Youde, do whatever you want to me. I will not retaliate! "
Miao Yi snapped out of his shock and scoffed, "Don't give me that. My Second Brother's yang is locked away by his master. There's no way he could have done anything improper with you!"
Yu Luocha gave him a sidelong glance, and the aura of a jade-faced Buddha immediately returned. She coldly said, "Whether or not there is anything between me and your Second Brother, the person involved knows best. Why don't you ask your Second Brother himself?"
Miao Yi glared at Ba Jie and bellowed, "Ol 'Second, tell me. The child in her belly isn't yours!" Actually, he was just fooling himself. Even an idiot could figure out that the child was Ba Jie's. There were only three men here. How could he not know if anything had happened between him and Yu Luocha? And Grandmaster Qi Jie wouldn't have done anything improper with Yu Luocha either. Even so, Ba Jie still held onto a sliver of hope. Perhaps Grandmaster Qi Jie had broken his vows. Anything was possible.
When the dumbfounded Ba Jie regained his senses, he exclaimed, "How could this be?"
Yu Luocha tilted her head and gave him a sidelong glance. "Why do you think this is happening? I can't control my transcendence energy right now. Some things can only happen naturally. When you were enjoying yourself on top of me, you should have known that this would happen sooner or later. Don't you think it's a little too much to be surprised now? "
Ba Jie stood rooted to the spot, dumbfounded. He had dark circles under his eyes and a look of utter despair on his face.
Miao Yi suddenly made his move, rushing over with his sword in hand.
Yu Luocha shot him a sidelong glance, then lifted her neck and waited for his death. She closed her eyes and stood there quietly.
Miao Yi raised his sword and placed it against her neck. He then grabbed her wrist and checked her pulse.
He was still wondering if Yu Luocha's belly was fake. Even if something had happened between her and Ba Jie, how could the great jade-faced Buddha be willing to impregnate Ba Jie?
