The River Gods Bridegroom

My sister “whooshed” away again.

She said she’d come to see me again in a while.

I didn’t even get a chance to ask her for help with catching the ghost. I turned to glare at Xie Yu.

Xie Yu rested his chin on his hand, watching me with a carefree smile: “Your sister finally said something sensible at the end.”

I fumed: “Why did you come in?”

Xie Yu: “I was afraid your sister would bully you.”

Me: “You’ve been watching too many TV dramas.”

Xie Yu: “Don’t they all play out like that? The innocent little white rabbit sister being bullied by the black-hearted female supporting character sister.”

I was speechless: “You’re a grown man, watch less of those ‘CEO’s little bride’ shows.

“My sister is very good to me.”

Xie Yu laughed for a moment, then suddenly asked: “Are you really planning to go through with what your sister mentioned?

“Can you not ascend?”

What kind of question is that?

Ascending to become a High God versus staying in the mortal world to enjoy a hundred years of pleasure.

Even a fool would know what to choose.

Seeing that I didn’t answer, the smile on Xie Yu’s face slowly faded.

He turned his back to me and said: “If you really want to leave, I suppose I wouldn’t be able to stop you.

“But I will try to stop you, Ze Quan.”

His voice was overbearing and firm: “Even if it means going against the heavens, I will do my absolute best to make you stay.”
