Shy?

Before Li Changzhou could think it through, Turquoise Pool quickly said to cover her previous words: [Why change the topic to talk about Cantonese, instead of answering me directly?]

What else could it be?

[... I am also, shy.]

For a while, neither of them spoke.

The tide surged at night, the moonstone submerged at the bottom of the lake, and the moon in the sky pulled at each other, as if they were getting closer in a daze.

The moon was so large that it filled half the sky.

Li Changzhou's thoughts followed the rise and fall of the Canglang Boat.

'I like you,' is something that slips out with a breath, but how many people can actually say it?

He had pursued Yang Qinglan and knew the hesitation and apprehension of confessing love.

Turquoise Pool, as a woman, took the initiative to confess to him, and her hesitation and apprehension would only be greater than his.

From her use of Cantonese, it was clear she was nervous and uneasy.

Their relationship had almost been set, but ultimately, due to Yang Qinglan, neither was willing to take that step.

Now, with Turquoise Pool taking the initiative, she had such courage; as a man, should he let her be the one to make the effort alone?

Li Changzhou said: [When we go back this time...]

[Go back?]

[...I will marry you.]

Again they said nothing.

After a while, Turquoise Pool said: [Oh.]

Luckily, she was in a puppet body, otherwise, she would have fallen on the bed, kicking her legs!

She couldn't calm down at all; about marriage, about after the wedding, about traveling, about what to call each other... Various thoughts, vision for the future, burst in her mind like fireworks.

She recalled a book she had read.

The book was about films, the author wrote: If a film's story is excellent enough, it can inspire the viewer's creativity — for example, after watching "Avengers," one can't help but clench fists, wanting to snap fingers at the world, thus simply crafting a story.

Then, isn't love the same way?

A good relationship can inspire the creativity of those involved, making one unable to resist imagining the couple's future?

She was so delighted that she notified all regions of the 'Yao Tai Pavilion' (the business association she founded), that puppets were selling at half price.

Yesterday's customers were furious, while others cheered 'Yao Tai Pavilion forever!', and rushed into the pavilion to spend.

The major sects bought in batches, including Corpse Bone Gene, Princess, and True Dragon player forces.

It was a universal celebration.

She wasn't afraid of being discovered by Corpse Bone Gene and others; with [Heavenly Will·Mechanical Sovereign], she could do as she pleased.

At the same time, she encouraged herself, that in the cultivation world she should live as she pleases, and her relationship with Li Changzhou should also follow her heart.

Intentionally avoiding Li Changzhou would lower the task evaluation.

The task evaluation was a self-deception, deep inside, she knew she didn't care about the high or low evaluation; it was all to give herself the courage to say those three words to Li Changzhou.

As a result...

Because of shyness, not only did she say four words, but she also used Cantonese!

Fortunately, Li Changzhou's response did not let her emotions go to waste, making her feel ashamed, but rather exchanged sincerity with sincerity.

By dawn, cultivators began to leave one after another, using their magic artifacts to search for opportunities in the lake.

"Here is the map," a mid-Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator approached, personally handing them a map, "In seven days, the location of the boat will be displayed on the map, please make sure to gather and return to the inner lake together by then."

Yiyi and other loose cultivators watched from this side.

To receive personal reception from a captain, one of them must be in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Moreover, their ability to hide aura was very strong; previously they were not detected by the captain, and were only entertained by Qi Refinement sailors.

Now with a Foundation Establishment cultivator, was the true cultivation level seen by a Golden Core Stage puppet?

"Thank you." Shui Zhongyue waved, storing the map in the storage bag.

"Let's go." She called out to Xian'er.

Xian'er flicked the sleeve of her top-grade magic robe, a stream of light shot out, turning into a small boat on the surface of the lake.

The small boat floated in the air, keeping a fist's distance from the water.

The two of them boarded, and the small boat immediately shot out like an arrow.

The wind-proof formation formed a semi-circular light barrier in the direction of travel, with the violent gale brought by high speed reduced to a gentle breeze.

Soon, the small boat slowly submerged into the lake, disappearing from everyone's sight.

"Another high-grade magic artifact." Yiyi said enviously.

"Most people have left, bro, let's get going too." A cultivator said to Yiyi's father.

The middle-aged man looked around, the scattered loose cultivators left few people on deck.

"Alright, let's go!"

The four of them also took the map and left the Canglang Boat, entering Moon Lake.

◇

Upon entering the lake bottom, the small boat's water avoidance array activated.

Shui Zhongyue employed the Invisibility Technique, spiritual power like water waves covering the two and the small boat.

Xian'er was curious about the effect of this spell, so they used "Clear Wind Water Appraisal."

"Clear Wind Water Appraisal" was significantly less effective in the water, only able to see the situation within a meter around; in Xian'er's perception, the two cloaked by the Invisibility Technique appeared like water currents forming human shapes.

Very inconspicuous, easily overlooked if not careful.

The two steered the small boat, traversing the lake.

The bottom of the lake was pitch black, like an abyss, far less beautiful and dreamy than the bottom of the inner lake.

"The mother water only exists in the pit of the lake bottom abyss, we'll search there." Shui Zhongyue urged the small boat towards the lake bottom abyss.

Xian'er hurriedly said: "Senior Shui, you can attend to your own matters, there's no need to accompany me in searching for Water Qi."

She was merely at the ninth level of Qi Refinement and a First Rank Talisman Master. She had nothing to repay Shui Zhongyue, who was in the late Foundation Establishment, so she didn't want to, nor dare to, accept her favor.

Shui Zhongyue's expression was calm: "Water Demons also favor mother water, accompanying you to find it is also searching for the Golden Core Stage Water Demon for myself, needn't overthink."
