Chapter 200 Congratulations on becoming a romantic partner with Kai.
Yuxi didn't say anything. His silence made Yao think that he really believed her words. Her little face raised and a silver bell-like laugh overflowed.
"Hehe, do you really believe it?" Yao asked with a mischievous smile.
"I was kidding, I'm not that old!" she continued, her voice full of mischief.
Yuxi simply responded perfunctorily: "Oh——"
Yao curiously circled around Yuxi and asked, "Are you here for tourism?"
"Do you want a guide? I can be your guide and take you to Xuanwei Forest! It's very cheap, only 500 silver coins~"
Yuxi shook her head: "I'm not here for tourism. I'm waiting for someone."
"Waiting for someone?"
Yao stopped, her eyes sparkling with curiosity. "Did you guys agree to come play together?"
"I can also take you guys along! It's only 800 silver coins! We can also visit the East Shrine!"
She pranced around Yuxi happily, full of energy.
Yuxi was dizzy with her trick and simply grabbed a handful of gold coins to hand to her.
"Okay, okay... I'll give you money, and I don't need you to be my guide. Just go play somewhere else."
"move slowly."
Yao pouted and snorted, rejecting his kindness: "I don't want any food!"
Yuxi corrected her pronunciation mistake.
"It is food given in contempt."
Yao seemed a little embarrassed, but quickly recovered and acted serious: "Ayao knows...Ayao said it wrong on purpose! Just to test you hehe."
Yuxi smiled helplessly.
"Oh - I see."
He responded perfunctorily and cooperatively, then asked, "Then you really don't want money?"
Yao said seriously, "Yes! But I can't accept the favor without any merit."
Yuxi corrected her pronunciation again, and said helplessly: "No merit, no reward, it's pronounced as Lu [lu]..."
Yao nodded without changing her expression, and said seriously: "It seems that you are quite smart! You passed the test again."
When Yuxi didn't know what to say because of her lying ability, her stomach suddenly made a rumbling sound.
"Guuuu~"
Yuxi felt his stomach rumbling. He frowned slightly and thought to himself, "I'm so hungry."
Yao keenly noticed his discomfort and asked with concern: "Are you hungry?"
Yuxi nodded and said frankly: "I'm a little hungry. I haven't eaten all day."
Yao immediately showed her enthusiasm: "Then I'll take you to eat! I know where to eat."
She simply grabbed his hand and tried to pull him away.
Yuxi was stunned for a moment, then immediately pulled her hand back, saying awkwardly, "Men and women should not be intimate with each other, so don't hold hands casually."
Yao widened her eyes and looked at him in surprise: "Wow, you are so serious."
Yuxi smiled slightly and tried to explain something, but Yao said first: "Aren't all humans lecherous, lying and taking advantage of others?"
Yuxi asked curiously: "Who caused this misunderstanding for you?"
Yao recalled and said, "I saved the soldiers in the Great River Basin. They didn't give me any silver coins and even wanted to repay my kindness with hatred."
Yuxi frowned: "Repaying kindness with enmity?"
Yao nodded: "Yeah, they wanted to capture me... but they failed, because I led them to the cliff and they fell off."
She suddenly lowered her voice, clenched her hands into claws, and made a sinister face.
Yuxi was amused by her expression and smiled at her: "Oh, you did a great job."
Yao looked at him in confusion: "Huh? Why don't you say that I'm a bad guy who killed others?"
Yuxi replied calmly: "I can tell good from evil. They deserved to die."
Yao shook her head: "You are such a strange human being."
Yuxi asked curiously, "What's so strange about that?"
Yao explained: "The people of Yunmengze say that I am a weird and ugly monster. I only do bad things."
Yuxi said firmly, "That's all nonsense. I've never seen a monster as beautiful as you."
Yuxi then looked at the pink antlers on Yao's head and continued, "Besides, deer are the most spiritual and kind creatures. You look like a deer, so your heart is definitely not bad."
Yao smiled and whispered, "You speak so nicely... You must be very likable, right?"
When Yuxi heard her ask this, she suddenly remembered that she did have a lot of romantic relationships in this world.
But now the person I truly love hates me. I can't help but sigh: "No, alas..."
Yao asked with concern: "Why are you sighing? Are you hungry? Yao will take you to eat."
Yuxi smiled and agreed: "Okay...thank you."
Yao led him through the tree house and quietly came behind a child who was picking mushrooms with a backpack.
She just pointed her finger, and the faint blue light turned into a blurry wolf shadow on the ground.
She pretended to be panicked and ran towards the child.
"The wolf is coming! Run for your life!" Yao shouted loudly.
"Ah... run."
The child was so frightened when he saw the blurry shadow of the wolf that he dropped the backpack and ran towards the tree house.
Yao smiled proudly: "Hey, there's something to eat. Let's find some firewood and roast some mushrooms~"
Yuxi looked at her mischief and smiled helplessly: "You... have something."
Afterwards, Yao handed the mushrooms in the basket to Yuxi as if she were presenting a treasure.
Yuxi looked at the mushroom in his hand, speechless. He quickly saw the mushroom's data.
Ding——"Psilocybe is a poisonous mushroom belonging to the angiosperm plant family. It mostly grows in moist forests. If eaten, people will feel weak at best, or fall into a psychedelic coma at worst, but it is not life-threatening."
Yuxi frowned and said to Yao, "You can't eat this, it's poisonous."
Yao looked at the discarded backpack with disappointment and curled her lips: "Ah...what a pity."
Yuxi looked at the annotation for a long time, and somehow put the mushroom in his hand into his pocket.
Afterwards, Yao suggested: "I remember there are fruit trees nearby, let's go pick some fruit."
Yao nodded excitedly, but Yuxi suddenly remembered something: "No, I almost forgot something."
"What?" Yao asked curiously.
"I'm waiting for someone. He should be coming from the east."
Yuxi explained, "I won't miss him later."
"Didn't you agree on where to meet?" Yao asked doubtfully.
"No..." Yuxi answered somewhat disappointedly.
"But there are only two exits in Yunmengze, so it's easy to find someone." Yao comforted.
"How come there are only two exits in such a large forest?" Yuxi asked in confusion.
"Because more than ten years ago, someone stole the power of the East God..."
Yao explained: "The East God ordered his subordinates to set up traps on both sides. Once the traps are triggered, the immortals on the clouds will appear and drive away the reckless people."
"That's it, then I'll be relieved."
Yuxi breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm going to guard near the east entrance."
"There are many teahouses near the entrance, and there are cakes to eat..." Yao said temptingly.
"Then do you want to go eat something together?" Yuxi suggested.
"But it will take a long time." Yao hesitated.
"It's okay, I walk fast." Yuxi assured.
"Really? Then let's go!"
Yao said excitedly, and then turned into a halo and attached to him: "I will turn into Xuanweizi and follow you. Let's go eat cakes~"
Yuxi felt the halo on her body and couldn't help but admire: "Your skill is quite convenient..."
"Hee hee~"
Yao's voice rang in his ears.
Yuxi walked towards the east entrance as fast as light and shadow, silently reciting the system as she walked: "System, apply to become a romantic partner with Kai."
Ding—"Apply only at close range."
As he kept asking along the way, King Zhou finally interrupted his thoughts impatiently and complained: "You are so noisy..."
Yuxi retorted: "Then get out of my mind."
King Zhou responded helplessly: "If I could leave, I would have left long ago!"
Yuxi said jokingly: "If you can't leave, just bear with it. Who told you to live with me?"
King Zhou could only remain silent.
Even at the east entrance, the system still showed that applications could only be made at close range.
He took Yao into the teahouse first.
The teahouse in the forest is dark and quiet, and it is impossible to tell the difference between day and night.
An old man with a gray beard came over from the front desk to greet them.
"What a rare visitor! I didn't expect someone to come to the teahouse this afternoon." said the businessman with a smile.
Yuxi asked in surprise: "Is it afternoon already?!"
He was totally unaware of the passage of time.
The merchant nodded. "It is now the 5th hour of the afternoon [15: p.m.]. There is no day or night in this forest, and travelers often lose track of time."
Yuxi's heart sank, and she thought silently: "Why hasn't Kai arrived for so long... It shouldn't be possible given his speed. Did he take another route?"
The businessman interrupted his contemplation: "What tea and snacks would you like to order?"
Yao said excitedly: "Grandpa, I want to eat grapes and bean paste cake. Any tea is fine."
The businessman responded, "Okay."
Then the things Yao ordered were delivered quickly.
Yao ate while looking at Yuxi's distraught look, and couldn't help asking, "Aren't you going to eat?"
Yuxi sighed: "Alas... I have no appetite..."
His mind was now filled with worry about Kai.
Yao asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Yuxi said heavily: "The person I am waiting for may not take this road."
"I…lost him."
Yao consoled him, "Are you so sure? What if something happened to him on the way, or he took a break?"
Yuxi reluctantly decided: "Then I'll wait another day..."
After saying that, he stood guard at the entrance and kept reciting the system silently.
Yao played beside him for a while and then became sleepy.
"It's night time now and I'm going to bed," she said.
Yuxi asked in confusion: "There is no change during the day, how do you know it is evening?"
Yao giggled: "Of course it's the instinct of small animals."
Yuxi understood: "Oh...then you go to sleep."
Yao yawned: "Hey...right! I still don't know your name?"
"My name is Yuxi," he said.
"Good night, Yuxi, my new friend."
Yao turned into a little deer and slept on the ground. Her silly look made Yuxi feel a little better.
“That’s really cute.”
Yuxi thought silently: "No wonder so many girls like this hero."
Yuxi did not rest and stayed in Yunmengze until noon on the third day.
When he was silently reciting the system for the umpteenth time, exciting news finally came.
"System, apply to become a romantic partner with Kai."
He was silent.
Ding——"Congratulations on becoming a romantic partner with Kai."
