Riding the floating clouds back to the divine realm, after half a day, I ran to the divine altar to find Task Master, completed the task, and then happily returned to the Green Bamboo Forest. It was as lively as usual there. Before I even arrived, I heard someone howling.
“Reborn is here!!! Everyone run away!”
Instantly, the immortal energy dispersed, and the Green Bamboo Forest was left completely empty.
I was internally wounded.
Walking home as evening approached, passing through the forest and walking on the blue stone path, I sighed. These bastards, it’s just that I won a year’s salary from them. Oh, it seems like I won a bit too much. Next time, I’ll deliberately lose a bit.
At the end of the small path, which was also the end of the village, there were only two households – mine and Gou Hun’s. Meeting Gou Hun, I didn’t know whether it was a blessing or a curse.
Without tasks, without mahjong, I started to daydream again.
I shook my head and felt a gaze, looking up to see him standing in the front yard. The orange-red sunset cast on him softened his originally cold face.
Looking at that warm color, the cold ice in my heart melted a bit. Perhaps starting over wasn’t so bad. But as I got closer, I caught a faint fragrance at the tip of my nose.
A woman’s scent, and that woman’s breath – she had come again.
I was stunned, withdrew my gaze, pushed open the wooden gate, and prepared to return home without greeting.
“Ga.”
Hearing Ya Ya’s voice, I looked back. Standing next to Gou Hun, Ya Ya seemed spirited and sharp-eyed.
Gou Hun moved his lips: “Have you eaten?”
“Yes.” I ran back into the house. There were no sounds of pursuit behind me, which made me heartbroken. Ya Ya, you dead duck, you’ve already nestled into a beautiful man’s embrace. I’ll roast and eat you when I get back.
