Adopting A Stray Cat Chapter 1076: Patiently Persuading

Chapter 1076: Chapter 1076: Patiently Persuading

Upon receiving the report from the guard, Ye You didn’t even need to guess why Ge Lun had co. He originally didn’t plan on eting him, but considering that both he and his mother were from the Qingming family, Ye You decided he would see Ge Lun. He inford Qin Sisi with a word and walked out of the cave.

Even though he knew why Ge Lun had co, a sliver of hope still lingered in Ye You’s heart—hope that this distant uncle could understand and support him.

However, reality left him disappointed. After eting, Ge Lun’s tone was stiff and unkind as he harshly berated Ye You, demanding that he cancel tomorrow’s engagent ceremony imdiately.

Ye You said coldly, "Tomorrow’s engagent ceremony will not be canceled. The future Saintess of the Demon Sacred Realm will only be Qin Sisi."

With that, he turned and left without paying any attention to the furious shouts of Ge Lun from behind him.

Ye You returned to the cave with a dark expression. He hadn’t even had a chance to say anything to Qin Sisi when another guard arrived, reporting that Lady ng Yu from the Phantom Spirit family had co.

Ye You furrowed his brows. He was well aware of ng Yu’s feelings for him. Her visit this ti was likely for the sa reason as Ge Lun—to try to make him cancel the engagent ceremony tomorrow.

In consideration of their ti as classmates, Ye You decided to et ng Yu once.

Qin Sisi called out to him from behind, reminding him to be wary of ng Yu’s illusion magic.

Ye You scoffed disdainfully and said, "Others may fear their illusion magic, but I do not. Don’t worry."

Seeing Ye You so confident, Qin Sisi’s worries diminished slightly. After all, Mr. Chen Song had been enchanted by Lian Li’s illusion technique just before his wedding to Teacher Yi Rou. If ng Yu were to act out of desperation and try the sa trick, Qin Sisi would hate for history to repeat itself.

"Ye You, do you know what Tian Xiaozi’s current magic level is?" ng Yu didn’t co at him directly but instead took a roundabout approach, bringing up Tian Xiaozi, a topic she knew would interest Ye You.

As expected, Ye You shook his head, his expression serious. "Do you know?"

ng Yu nodded and replied, "I’ve found out. Tian Xiaozi has learned a secret technique that allows his magic power to grow quickly. His magic prowess has improved rapidly, and he’s now a high-level Magic God."

Ye You fell silent. He had only recently ascended to becoming a Magic God and was still a low-level one. If what ng Yu said was true, he was undoubtedly no match for Tian Xiaozi yet.

ng Yu noticed the heaviness in Ye You’s deanor and seized the mont to press on. "You don’t need to be overly worried. Now isn’t the ti to clash with him head-on. Instead, you should adopt more strategic tactics to maneuver around him. As long as all the families remain loyal to you and work together, you’ll surely wear Tian Xiaozi down."

Ye You looked at ng Yu with dark, serious eyes. He understood these principles, of course, but he didn’t believe that ng Yu had co to him so late on the eve of his engagent just to say these things.

eting Ye You’s searching gaze, ng Yu continued to coax gently, "Ye You, under such dire circumstances, I think you shouldn’t be getting married or engaged at this mont."

Ye You replied flatly, "It’s only an engagent, ant to help others get a sense of my situation."

ng Yu bit her lip and gently urged, "Even if you are determined to get engaged, you should think it through more thoroughly. Your grandfather, Sage Ruler Ruiyan, and your father, Sage Ruler Tian Yu, both chose noble ladies from the Eight Great Families to be their Saintesses. I think you should take their approach as a reference."

The fox’s tail was starting to show. Ye You sneered inwardly and retorted, "Both my grandmother and mother were from the Qingming family. Do you think I should also choose a wife from the Qingming family?"

"No!" ng Yu hastily explained. "That’s not what I ant. The Eight Great Families each have their own exceptional talents. The Qingming family was just a bit luckier. Actually, if Senior Ya Ning were still around, she would have been quite a good match. But Ya Ling... doesn’t seem all that suitable."

In front of the one she admired, ng Yu chose her words carefully. However, in her heart, she had already ntally labeled Ya Ling with terms like "fool," "idiot," and "imbecile."

"Then who do you think is suitable?" Ye You deliberately threw out a prompt.

ng Yu’s face showed hints of bashful charm as she softly replied, "Ye You, after all these years of how I’ve treated you, do you truly not understand my feelings?"

Seeing Ye You remain silent, ng Yu grew slightly anxious and pressed on, "Ye You, marriage is not a matter to be decided on a whim. It requires proper compatibility. Qin Sisi is just an orphan from an outer world, with a lowly status. She even needs your blood to activate her Magic Source. How can such a girl be worthy of the position of Saintess?"

Ye You continued to stay silent, but his brows had already furrowed.

ng Yu stepped closer to Ye You, gathering her courage to grab his hand, her breath carrying a faint fragrance as she said, "Ye You, I am the sole daughter and heir of the Phantom Spirit family’s chief. Our family’s power is at its peak. Together, we would be a perfect match—unstoppable and invincible. I am your most rightful choice."

Extending such a heartfelt confession, filled with fervor and passion, ng Yu nearly managed to move herself. She believed Ye You had no reason to refuse—power, beauty, all within his grasp, with the Saint King’s throne erging clearly before him.

But, in the next second, Ye You unhesitatingly flung her hand away. His expression turned solemn as he stated, "ng Yu, thank you for your kind intentions, but my heart only belongs to Qin Sisi. The position of Saintess is hers alone. You should leave now."

With that, Ye You turned and walked away, unwilling to engage with ng Yu any further.

ng Yu’s expression shifted, completely caught off guard that her persuasive speech had gone unheard. Tomorrow, Ye You would be engaged to Qin Sisi. If Qin Sisi truly beca the Saintess, what would beco of her?

Her painstakingly created dreams and lifelong ideals would all shatter into nothing. She couldn’t accept it.

"Ye You!" ng Yu dashed forward, blocking Ye You’s path. Looking up at him, her voice choked with emotion and her eyes rimd red.

Ye You paused, startled, about to say sothing when ng Yu abruptly spoke, "If that’s the case, I won’t force you. I’ll leave tomorrow and wish you and Ms. Qin eternal happiness."

With that, she ran off crying, leaving Ye You with a sorrowful figure receding into the distance.

Ye You watched ng Yu’s retreating outline, faintly feeling that sothing was off, though he couldn’t pinpoint what it was at the mont.

After pondering for a mont, he leapt into the air and returned to the cave he resided in.

"You’re back!" Qin Sisi was standing at the entrance, waiting for him. When she saw him return, her eyes lit up, and her smile blood like a flower.

Ye You also smiled, taking Qin Sisi’s hand and leading her back inside the cave.

Qin Sisi nestled intimately against Ye You for a while. She then took the initiative to remove his outer robe, wrapping her arms around his waist before lifting her face to smile sweetly at him.

Ye You seed montarily dazed. Such a smile was so beautiful, so sweet, that it was hard for him not to lose himself in it.
