Chapter 589 Interview?
As Wu Long visited Yu Huan for a yet another discussion of the Alchemy Dao in which he helped her with the questions she had, he noticed something different in her gaze this time.
She made tea as usual, that continued getting better and better tasting each time he came, but as they sat down, she did not speak up as usual.
“Daoist Wu”
Yu Huan finally opened her mouth after taking a moment to collect her thoughts.
“Yes?”
“I… fuu~…”
She started and then made a deep exhale, closing her eyes and then opening them with a renewed determination.
‘It’s like she’s going to war’
Wu Long inwardly noted as he felt something akin to battle spirit from her.
“I want to become your woman”
Yu Huan’s words fell without any prior build up or smooth transition, but Wu Long simply smiled with a nod.
“Mm, I want that to happen as well”
He said as the alchemist was still brimming with a fighting spirit.
“I have thought about it a lot. I know that I have a lot to be thankful for and will hav-… what?”
Yu Huan first started making her case per the speech that she prepared beforehand, intending to support her statement with arguments and her merits.
But as the meaning of his words reached her all that speech went out of the window as she widened her eyes to look at him, visibly at a loss of what to do or even what was happening.
“I said that I want you to be my woman too”
Wu Long repeated with a chuckle as the beauty froze, her mind struggling to process what just happened.
“That easily?”
She then finally asked, though not completely consciously, as the words left her mouth on their own, and he almost started laughing.
“Haha, what else did you expect? I had this intention for quite some time now, I just didn’t want to use your gratitude since I knew you wouldn’t refuse even if you were not ready yet.
Now that you have reached this point yourself, of course I am happy to welcome you into my embrace”
Wu Long spoke with a joyful and light tone, as Yu Huan stared at him still in shock.
“But… why?”
Her question once again almost made him burst in laughter.
She was like someone who prepared for a job interview, and then was given the job before the interview even began.
In fact, her approach to becoming his woman was exactly like an interview as she was prepared to give him a detailed list of reasons that he could consider when choosing the answer.
This was partly due to her lack of experience with the matters of the heart, as she struggled to process the complex emotions and didn’t know how to behave, thus inadvertently being influenced by her usual logical thinking when approaching this matter.
But it was also due to her nature as an alchemist, for whom everything had to be organized and had to have exact reasons and process.
“Hahaha, because I like you.
What other reasons do I need?
Not everything has to have a clear reason, Huan’er. Especially when it comes to matters of the heart…”
Wu Long spoke placing his hand over hers on the table, and her cheeks flushed red, as her heartbeat became faster.
She found out with surprise how wonderful it felt, how special it was, just to hear her name spoken in his voice.
Despite that she did not turn her gaze away from him, as her curiosity overwhelmed even her shyness.
“If you insist on getting objective reasons, I am surprised why you would even ask, as you were ready to provide the answer yourself, and then some, as I could add a few of my own.
Saying they don’t matter at all would be dishonest.
They do, but only to an extent. And to the extent they matter who would deserve being loved if not you?
However, as I said earlier, they are not all there is to a relationship, only part.
The other part is feelings, which are arbitrary.
Feelings are not logic, in fact feelings and emotions are designed specifically to overwhelm reason and logic. And that is their beauty.
I could list many reasons, but none of them will be the core of the matter, the core is something that cannot be expressed or spoken, it is wondrous exactly because you can never fully understand it”
He made a smile, and her light gray eyes with a hint of green filled with wonder and happiness.
“Thank you”
Her words softly left her lips and he chuckled, shaking his head.
“You don’t have to thank me. And if you insist on doing it I will have to thank you in turn”
“Haha, sounds fair”
Yu Huan chuckled, the two continuing their discussion, gradually shifting to different topics and then eventually to the Alchemy Dao once more.
But even as they discussed topics they would normally before, there was a completely different atmosphere between the two.
Wu Long could still percept a very subtle hesitation and trepidation at acting more closely in Yu Huan’s demeanor, but he knew it was now only a matter of time before it would melt away.
There was no need to force it and try make her get used to it in a short time.
Natural progression was far more smooth and had a sentimental value, those moments of slight awkwardness often becoming fond memories.
“…on that note, I have a present for you”
He smiled as they were discussing one of the more difficult refining processes.
“A present?”
“Mm, this here”
Wu Long nodded to her surprised expression, and produced a golden Alchemy Furnace bound in glowing chains.
“…!!! This is…!!!”
The alchemist widened her eyes and covered her mouth with both hands, feeling the profound aura of the object that produced formless ripples even as it was bound.
“Mm, a true Profound Grade furnace, one quite suitable to use with your Earth Flame
And though it is only high-level 1st-tier Artifact, it will serve you well until we find something better”
Wu Long chuckled.
Yu Huan’s cultivation was now nearing the peak of Core Formation Realm as she cultivated the Earth Flame and advanced in the Dao of Alchemy.
But even if her cultivation base was normally not sufficient to refine this furnace, her level of skill, and crucially, her Alchemy Flame were already at that level.
“I…”
She turned her round eyes to Wu Long who chuckled with a mischievous glint in his eyes.
“Hahaha, you don’t have to hesitate now, do you?
Once you become my woman it is only natural to receive things from me”
He said as a wry smile gradually appeared on her lips and she lowered her hands.
“Thank you, …Wu… Wu Long”
“Mm, that’s my Huan’er”
As she meekly called his name his smile widened, and then he opened his arms.
“Though, if you re~ally want to… only if you insist, I can receive a hug so you feel easier to accept it”
“Hahaha, of course!”
She lightly laughed as she came into his embrace and was then enveloped in a wonderful new feeling, for a moment forgetting even the existence of the furnace.
After some time, he helped her refine the subdued Spiritual Treasure, and her cultivation broke through to the Core Reformation Realm as she gained the new insights from the inner structure of this furnace, and the accumulated aura of Alchemy Dao inside it.
Before she broke through though, he filled the room with the rich Spiritual Qi he still had from the Secret Realm. In fact he instructed all of his women, and his allies as well to not cultivate with the Spiritual Qi of this Fractured World, as that would become a wasted effort.
