Angrily staring at Chen Hai, muttering curses, Lady Yuji glared at him for quite a while.
Being cursed a few tis wouldn’t cause him any harm, so Chen Hai didn’t care.
With a faint, almost imperceptible smile on his face, he remained exceptionally calm, smiling as he t Lady Yuji’s gaze.
"Alright, Chen Hai, you win!" Exhausted from her tirade, Lady Yuji finally relented.
After all, what Chen Hai intended to do, she couldn’t stop him, nor did she have the ability to prevent it.
No matter how loudly she shouted, it would only give her a slight release of pent-up frustration, but it wouldn’t change anything else.
Although she felt that Chen Hai’s previous words were rely to scare her, she believed he wouldn’t be so heartless as to spread their business to the entire Primordial.
However, it’s better to be safe than sorry.
If things really reached such a point, it would be much more serious than her simply retreating and leaving straight away.
Thinking about being suppressed by Chen Hai multiple tis, even if she stayed on Golden Dawn Island, she would have to spar with him every now and then. But as long as she was careful, keeping things discreet, it didn’t seem like a big deal!
After all, during those monts, it was Chen Hai exerting effort, not her. On the contrary, when she closed her eyes, she actually felt quite joyful and nostalgic.
"Threats followed by coercion, Chen Hai, doesn’t your conscience hurt treating like this?"
"Anyway, I have nowhere else to go. Since you’re determined to force to stay here, I can agree, but I won’t go to Black Water Immortal Mountain with you. I’ll just stay in the nearby Immortal City!"
Looking around, Lady Yuji pointed at the clearly visible Black Water Immortal City not far away, expressing her indignation as she continued, "Moreover, if we’re together like last ti for several days at a stretch, that’s definitely not acceptable."
"My limit is not more than ten days a month. If you can’t keep to that, don’t bother ."
"And, whatever happens between us must remain a secret; no third party can know."
...
With a gaze that seed capable of devouring soone, Lady Yuji stared fiercely at Chen Hai.
While most might set three conditions, she had proposed a good dozen of them, extensively detailed.
Fortunately, knowing she was in a weaker position, the nurous conditions she stipulated didn’t contain anything unbearable.
"YuJi, I can agree to everything you’ve proposed."
"Had you not been so stubborn and reached this straightforwardly, wouldn’t it have been much better?"
"You just have to save face, forcing to use my trump card before you’re willing to grudgingly give in!"
Nodding, Chen Hai chuckled, teasingly.
Hearing these words, Lady Yuji didn’t directly retort. She glared at Chen Hai, a faint, unusual blush montarily crossing her face.
"Ying, on Black Water Immortal Mountain, everyone practices the Black Water True Technique; if you reside there temporarily, you might not quite adapt to it."
"After discussing with your Master, we’ve decided to arrange accommodation for a temporary residence in Black Water Immortal City for you all."
"The entire Golden Dawn Island is now refined into a Grotto Heaven within my world. If you need to find , just say my na, and I will sense it."
"While this area is sowhat barren and impoverished, in terms of safety, you probably won’t find a place within the entire Primordial that can compare."
"After all, this domain entirely belongs to my Grotto Heaven; as long as I’m fine, no one can cause you any harm within it!"
...
After reaching an understanding with Lady Yuji, Chen Hai removed the invisible barrier that shielded their conversation and certain visuals, smiling, and waved at Shi Qingying and the others not far away.
Of course, due to the agreent with Lady Yuji, when others were present, the two deliberately maintained so distance, ensuring there were no intimate actions beyond normal friendship.
"Master, have you and Chen Hai resolved your misunderstanding?"
Shi Qingying, whispering with Li Huachun and the others, hurried over upon seeing Chen Hai’s gesture.
Looking at Chen Hai, then back at her Master, Lady Yuji, Shi Qingying curiously asked, testingly.
Previously, seeing the tense standoff where Chen Hai and Lady Yuji could have fought at any mont, both Shi Qingying and Li Huachun had clearly noticed.
While those like Shi Qingying and Li Huachun remained at a distance, they perhaps intentionally left space for Chen Hai and Lady Yuji to clear up misunderstandings.
After all, if the relationship between them was strained, aside from Shi Qingying, the others, like Li Huachun, would likely feel awkward staying here.
Now, their good intentions seed to have borne so fruit.
Though they weren’t sure what was discussed due to unknown factors, the atmosphere between the two, although still distanced, no longer seed likely to escalate into conflict.
Even that slight improvent was quite a relief for Li Huachun and the others.
"There’s no knot that can’t be untied. Just a minor misunderstanding, once clarified, naturally everything’s fine!"
"After the fall of the Demon Palace, coming along this way, I’ve experienced too many unfortunate events. I’m exhausted, both physically and ntally. I truly want to find a place to rest properly."
"Previously, due to a minor misunderstanding with Chen Hai, I had a bit of a grudge against him, which is why I told you all that upon reaching Golden Dawn Island, it would be our parting mont as Master and disciples."
"Now that the misunderstanding is cleared, at least for now, I’m definitely not going to leave."
"Golden Dawn Island is vast, yet sparsely populated. I plan to stay temporarily in Black Water Immortal City. As for you all, choose where you wish to settle; there’s no need to consider !"
...
Still with a cold visage, as her disciples’ eyes landed on her, Lady Yuji nodded briefly, responding off-handedly.
"It’s wonderful for us that Master will stay!"
"Wherever Master is, we consider it our ho. Since she intends to stay in Black Water Immortal City temporarily, there’s no choice but to find a place there for us, her students."
"Indeed, our eldest brother’s sentint echoes ours. We will not go elsewhere; we will stay in Black Water Immortal City!"
...
Having received a definitive answer from Lady Yuji, Li Huachun and the others were undoubtedly elated.
One by one, they spoke up, expressing their intentions.
"Chen Hai, what about ?"
Shi Qingying seed to have a different opinion; her large eyes blinked as she gazed at Chen Hai, asking softly.
