Chapter 150: Chapter 149: Always with You, Forever!
Ye Ling finished speaking, and Liu Qiao'er was stunned.
Indeed, when had Big Brother Ye ever deceived her?
But, but, could one really live for three to five hundred years?
Those words clearly sounded like the kind used to deceive kindergarten kids—no, they probably couldn't even fool a kindergarten child.
"Big Brother Ye, you don't think I'm silly, do you? Even a three-year-old child wouldn't believe this!" Liu Qiao'er rubbed her slightly swollen head.
Upon hearing this, Ye Ling's heart leapt with joy—she had started calling him Big Brother Ye. There might be a chance after all.
"Qiao'er, I have never lied to you, nor will I ever lie to you. Believe me, this time I've brought Zang Hua back, I wanted to tell you about this."
"I know, this must sound unbelievable. If I were an ordinary person, I would definitely think someone was joking with me."
"But I haven't lied to you, really!"
Liu Qiao'er was dumbfounded, her head spinning. How could she stay calm when faced with such a terrifying truth after so many years of a science-based education?
"What about her? Is she the same kind of person as you? I don't believe it, you must both be lying to me!" Liu Qiao'er covered her head and shook it violently.
Ye Ling sighed deeply, patted Liu Qiao'er on the shoulder, and at the moment she looked up, Ye Ling's body began to float in midair, suspended there.
With his palms facing the sky, the palms began to emanate a dazzling light.
Zang Hua shrugged her shoulders, "I'm not as 'transformed' as he is, but I can do things that ordinary people can't."
With that, Zang Hua tiptoed and, like a gecko, her proud figure clung to the wall. She circled the room horizontally before landing.
Liu Qiao'er's eyes widened, and before she could speak, Zang Hua flicked her delicate fingers, and a glass on the nearby table instantly shattered, spilling glass fragments everywhere.
To Liu Qiao'er, everything appeared miraculous, way beyond scientific explanation.
Could everything she learned as a child be false?
Liu Qiao'er even began to doubt her life, wondering if she was living in a dream.
"Qiao'er, would you like to become immortal like us, cultivating to immortality?" Ye Ling quietly asked as he sat beside Liu Qiao'er.
Become immortal, live forever?
Wasn't that something that only happened in novels?
It was all too far-fetched, and Liu Qiao'er, unable to wrap her head around it, dazedly asked, "Have you two become immortals now?"
"My husband has officially started on the path of cultivation, and I am one step away. But in the ordinary world, I'm almost what you would call a god," Zang Hua replied.
A god, like in the American blockbusters? Like Captain America, Batman, or even the green, enormous monsters—all so powerful and invincible?
"Do you mean like Captain America?" Liu Qiao'er's head was now filled with images from fantastical movies.
Zang Hua curled her lips, "I just killed a Captain America three months ago, the one you've seen in the movies. Sadly, he was already old and stood no chance against me."
"Big Brother Ye, if you become immortal, can you stay young forever and never get old?" Liu Qiao'er suddenly thought of something and became excited.
Ye Ling was taken aback, then smacked his forehead. How did he forget about that? Youth and beauty, irresistible to every woman.
"Don't worry, you will not only stay young forever, but you will also become beautiful. At the very least, your skin will be softer than a baby's, and you will never have to worry about eye bags or wrinkles."
Liu Qiao'er's eyes suddenly lit up, and she hurriedly nodded, "Big Brother Ye, I want to be just like you. No matter how tough or difficult it gets, I'm not afraid!"
As she spoke, Liu Qiao'er walked over to Zang Hua and gently took her hand, "Sister, I'll need you to teach me what I don't know in the future."
"Don't worry, sister. From now on, we'll practice together, striving to surpass this jerk. If he annoys us again, we'll beat him up!" Zang Hua said, fiercely waving her fist.
Ye Ling looked at the scene before him and nodded happily; he had finally managed to change the young girl's mind.
At that time, Liu Qiao'er came up beside Ye Ling, "Big Brother Ye, can you take me flying? I have always dreamed of growing a pair of wings and flying in the sky like an angel."
Wings of an angel?
"Don't worry, Qiao'er, wait until your husband plucks a pair of angel's wings for us to roast and eat. Hopefully, you can grow a pair too!" Ye Ling said with a mischievous smile.
Three black lines immediately appeared on Liu Qiao'er's forehead—what kind of person was this, corrupting the dreams of the youth?
"Qiao'er, let's go. Your husband will show you the night sky over Donghai!" Ye Ling said, opening the window, encircling Liu Qiao'er in his arms, and leaping into the air, flying into the sky.
"Wow! We're really flying! It's so magical!" Liu Qiao'er held tightly onto Ye Ling's body, not daring to let go, and she even dared not look down.
If it had been yesterday, even if Ye Ling had been flattened, he wouldn't have been able to fly, but now, having entered the Foundation Establishment Stage, with True Qi brimming within him, flying for a whole day wouldn't be an issue.
"Husband, I love you!" Liu Qiao'er said softly, embracing Ye Ling tightly as the fierce wind drowned out her words.
Ye Ling's hearing was exceptionally sharp; how could he not hear her? He felt his chest gradually growing wet and knew immediately that Liu Qiao'er was crying.
"Qiao'er, I'm sorry!" Ye Ling was about to speak when Liu Qiao'er quickly shook her head.
"No! Husband, you haven't wronged me, nor have you made me feel aggrieved."
"Yes, seeing Zang Hua made me uncomfortable, but the moment I learned you were a cultivator, all that disappeared."
"Yes, I love you. How could I be selfish? I can't be with you for a lifetime, so how could I possibly expect you to be devoted to me for a lifetime?"
"That's why I must work hard, work hard to practice, to be with you forever!"
"Beauty, youth, immortality, none of that matters."
"What's important is that you're with me!"
"In my toughest times, you were there beside me, helping me, helping my family, showing me care and sympathy."
"I will work hard. In this life, no matter how difficult it is, I will accompany you."
"Now I realize that having you may not mean possession, but it is forever!"
"Holding your hand, only then can I feel at ease, at ease for a lifetime."
Ye Ling held Liu Qiao'er tightly, without a word. At that moment, silence was the best response.
The hearts of both beat in unison, merging into one.
In the night sky, two figures swiftly flew by, seemingly disturbing the stars hidden behind the clouds, as twinkling starlight emerged, elongating their shadows in the night sky for a very long interlude.
