Chapter 556: Then become my boyfriend!

"A girlfriend? No, I don't have one. I'm still young, after all. Hahaha…" Song Shuhang made a hollow laugh. Although our Shuhang was already in university, he was still single. It was truly a tragic and sad matter.

"You still don't have one?" Senior Sister Ye covered her mouth and laughed.

At this time, Song Shuhang felt as though Senior Sister Ye was taunting him.

"In that case… do you want to become my boyfriend?" Senior Sister Ye stretched out her hand, pointing at herself and blinking her eyes.

"Ah?" Song Shuhang was dumbstruck and wondered whether his hearing had problems.

"I said, how about becoming my boyfriend then?" Senior Sister Ye said once again.

Song Shuhang asked a stupid question in return, "Why?"

Song Shuhang didn't consider himself to be on par with those alpha Chinese main characters. Such being the case, why had Senior Sister Ye asked him on her own initiative to become his girlfriend? After all, they had met not too long ago.

"I feel that we are made for each other, and we also share the same hobby." Senior Sister Ye's eyes lit up as she continued, "Although I don't know the reason, I got the sudden urge to get into a relationship with you. It's a very strong feeling!"

The feeling she got was very sudden and strong! In the past, she had never considered the idea of getting into a relationship with someone… but now, this strong desire had suddenly manifested in her heart.

The strong desire was almost like a fixation; if she had to get into a relationship with someone, it was better to find a person that had interests similar to hers, as well as the same hobbies. Such being the case, Song Shuhang just happened to be the perfect partner for her.

At the very least, both of them liked to read books and had a common topic to talk about. They were like two kindred souls.

"Uh, but isn't that a bit too sudden?" Song Shuhang forced a smile. He had a very favorable impression of Senior Sister Ye. She was a well-read girl with tastes similar to his, and it was pleasant to converse with her.

But the two of them had just met, right?

"You have a point. It's indeed a bit sudden." Senior Sister Ye nodded and said. Then, she pondered for a moment and said, "But if we get into a relationship, you won't be regarded a stranger anymore! Therefore, you will be able to read all the books here present!"

After saying this much, Senior Sister Ye stretched out her hands and pointed at the hundreds of thousands of books and cultivation-related materials lying inside the room.

Song Shuhang forced a smile… Senior Sister, is it really alright for you to try to tempt me like that?

After seeing Song Shuhang forcing a smile, Senior Sister Ye also realized that her attempt to entice him had been too direct. Therefore, she laughed embarrassedly.

❄️❄️❄️

Afterward, Senior Sister Ye kept looking through the books while Song Shuhang practiced.

"Anyway, Fellow Daoist Path-seeking Scholar, have you really not considered it? I feel that we two are really suited for each other," Senior Sister Ye said. "Maybe we can wait some time and try to understand each other better, becoming partners only afterward?"

Song Shuhang silently gazed at Senior Sister Ye. According to the information he obtained from the appraisal technique, Senior Sister Ye had two very positive nicknames. It seemed she was quite popular amongst the disciples of the Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion!

Song Shuhang was sure that if Senior Sister Ye stood in the middle of the Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion and shouted 'I want a boyfriend', there would be dozens of male cultivators that would fight to the death to become her partners.

Actually, Song Shuhang was really tempted to agree to her proposal just for the sake of reading those several hundred thousand books.

However, he decided against it because it would be an irresponsible thing to do.

After all, becoming partners wasn't that different than becoming husband and wife.

If he were to agree without properly thinking about it, other than being irresponsible, he would be unfair to Senior Sister Ye.

Seeing Song Shuhang's embarrassed look, Senior Sister Ye blinked her eyes.

"Eh? Even slowly building our relationship is not good?" Then, just as though she had realized something, she asked, "Fellow Daoist Path-seeking Scholar, is it possible that you like someone else?"

Do I like someone else?

Before becoming a cultivator, Song Shuhang was leading the life of a single and his objective was to find a cute girlfriend during the four years of university.

But after becoming a cultivator, he decided that it was better not to get into a relationship for the time being. As he saw it, cultivating was more important than getting a girlfriend; even now, he was of the same idea.

After stepping into the world of cultivation, Song Shuhang met several good-looking female cultivators. He had a good relationship with Soft Feather, Sixteen, and Chu Chu, and had spent quite some time together with them. In addition, there were the pretty female seniors of the Nine Provinces Number One Group as well.

However, he wasn't in that kind of relationship with any of them. He was nowhere close to becoming a partner with them.

As such, Song Shuhang shook his head.

"In that case, you should really give it a thought! We are currently in the 'Lower City' of the Time City, and twelve days in here are equivalent to only one day in the outside world. Hence, we can spend a lot of time together here and get to know each other better. One year in this place is equivalent to only one month outside," Senior Sister Ye said.

"I will give it a thought then—" While he halfway through his sentence, Song Shuhang noticed that Senior Sister Ye's eye sockets had become red.

Ah? Is Senior Sister Ye about to cry?

Just as this thought flashed through Song Shuhang's mind, tears copiously flowed out of Senior Sister Ye's eyes, with teardrops falling incessantly.

She really started crying!

"Sob, sob, sob~" Senior Sister Ye wiped away her tears and used a book to cover her face, starting to cry even more loudly.

At the same time, she stretched out her hand and waved at Song Shuhang, saying, "Sob, sob, sob~ Don't mind me. It's just that a sad feeling suddenly welled up in my heart, and I couldn't help but start crying. It doesn't have anything to do with you, sob, sob, sob~ Fellow Daoist Path-seeking Scholar, please, don't mind me, sob, sob, sob~ It really has nothing to do with you!"

What Senior Sister Ye said was the truth. The cultivation technique she practiced was the ❮Tome of Never-Ending Tears❯, a technique that exclusively belonged to the Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion. After successfully practicing the technique, the user would start crying for the strangest reasons.

Sometimes, a certain word would suddenly strike her heart while reading, causing her to weep bitterly.

Sometimes, she would suddenly associate someone's face with some other thing and start crying.

Sometimes, she would start crying while conversing because a certain word moved her.

The most wondrous thing was that she herself was unaware why these things were making her feel emotional. In short, whenever the thought of crying crossed her mind, regardless of the situation, she would start crying.

Earlier, as soon as Song Shuhang said the word 'I', it unknowingly struck her heart and triggered her reaction, making her burst into tears.

The hyacinth-like and well-read girl cried aggrievedly. She was delicate and had a clear conscience, worthy of being called 'Sobbing Beauty'.

"…" Song Shuhang.

Senior Sister Ye really cries for the strangest reasons~ However, she looked very cute when she was trying to comfort me while crying!

Senior Sister Ye's charm increased by 100 points while she was crying. Then, as she revealed her slightly red eyes after crying, her charm increased by another 20 points!

❄️❄️❄️

Song Shuhang rubbed his brows and pondered the situation.

Perhaps I can temporarily agree to Senior Sister Ye's request to get into a relationship. According to what she said, we won't become partners immediately but will try to get to know each other better first, deciding only later what do do.

Perhaps Senior Sister Ye would calm down after a few days and realize that Song Shuhang wasn't the best partner for her?

Or perhaps it was something she had decided on a whim and would get bored of playing this husband and wife game after a few days and lose interest in him?

Aside from that, a well-read girl like Senior Sister Ye that liked reading books and had the same hobbies as him indeed conformed to Song Shuhang's view of the ideal wife. Therefore, he wasn't too much against it.

"…Maybe we can give it a try, Senior Sister Ye," Song Shuhang replied.

"Eh?" Senior Sister Ye Si put down the book she was holding. At this time, the tear stains on her cheeks were still visible, and teardrops were incessantly falling from her eyes, making her look lovely.

Song Shuhang said, "Perhaps we can try to understand each other better and see if we are indeed suited to become partners."

"Sure, let's give it a try!" Senior Sister Ye's eyes lit up. Soon after, she happily burst out in tears again and said, "In that case, sob, sob, sob~ we are officially dating now, sob, sob, sob~"

"Officially dating? Sure, no problem," Song Shuhang said with a smile.

"Let's try to get to know each other better then!" Senior Sister Ye wiped away her tears and said, "Right, Shuhang. Since we are just dating, we can't have sex yet. We would have to wait until we truly become husband and wife for that!"

"…" Song Shuhang.

"Another thing, I think we should briefly introduce ourselves so that we can get to know each other better," Senior Sister Ye said as she knelt in front of Song Shuhang, just like those ancient people.

"Alright." Song Shuhang copied Senior Sister Ye's posture and also knelt.

"I'll go first, alright?" Senior Sister Ye finished thinking about her speech and said, "As I said before, I'm part of the disciples of the Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion surnamed 'Ye', and my dao name is 'Ye Si'. My teacher brought me to the Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion when I was still a child. Therefore, my dao name is the same as my personal name. I'm currently a cultivator of the Fifth Stage Spiritual Emperor Realm, and my teacher, Chuyu Xingzhe, is the pavilion master of one of the branch pavilions of the Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion, the Silver Moon Pavilion. The cultivation technique I practice is the ❮Tome of Never-Ending Tears❯. As you can guess from the name, the reason I suddenly get sad and burst out into tears is related to this technique. However, the ❮Tome of Never-Ending Tears❯ is extremely powerful. Therefore, you'd better not underestimate me!

My main hobby is reading books, and I really like to come to the 'Lower City' of the Time City to read them. Twelve days in here are equivalent to only one day in the outside world. With that, I can seize the opportunity to read many more books while I'm here. Of course, I can't neglect my practice, either. Otherwise, my teacher won't allow me to come to the Lower City of the Time City anymore.

Then, the things I like to eat the most are… and my best friends are…"

Senior Sister Ye quickly introduced herself, wishing she could tell Shuhang about her whole life since the day she was born up until now.

Song Shuhang silently nodded and kept in mind everything Ye Si said.

"Alright, now it's your turn," Senior Sister Ye said as she blinked her eyes. She had told Song Shuhang everything about her, without leaving anything out.

"My personal name is Song Shuhang. As for my dao name… hmm, Virtuous Buddhist Sabersman, Tyrannical Saber Song One, Daoist Priest Wood, Baijing Street's Sabersman, Scholar Mountain of Books, Path-seeking Scholar, and Virtuous Cultivator!" Song Shuhang said his seven dao names in one go.

Senior Sister Ye Si blinked her eyes and said, "Your dao name is very long!"

Song Shuhang changed his tone and said, "No, these are my seven dao names. One for each day of the week!"

"…" Senior Sister Ye Si.

Is it possible that having more than one dao name is a new trend in the world of cultivators? What a strange trend!
