Chapter 313: Inescapable Fate
Zhu Yanyi listened to Yan Aohan’s words. She looked at her for a long time before speaking. "I feel like I walked into a trap you set."
It was true. This was Yan Aohan’s secret. By telling her, she was refusing to separate their fates. The problem was, she had only said two days ago that she was too young to understand love and needed time to cultivate feelings. This wasn’t slow cultivation. It was a triple jump, skipping the emotional bonding and directly fixing their status.
Yan Aohan raised an eyebrow slightly, his eyes firm. "Ani, do you think everyone has a purple-gold rope? You are destined to be my bride. Of course, feelings still need to be cultivated. I just won’t give you a chance to retreat."
"Do you have a fetish for children? I am eleven. Eleven," Zhu Yanyi repeated her age. "Also, you are twenty-three. You are clearly an old bull eating tender grass."
"Hmm. Since this tender grass is right in front of my mouth, it would be a waste not to eat it," Yan Aohan replied calmly, without denying it. "Besides, do you think you can escape the binding of the purple-gold red thread?"
"What’s so special about this purple-gold red thread? Doesn’t everyone with a marriage fate have a red thread?" Zhu Yanyi felt a strange sensation in her heart. Had she been calculated by the Venerable Yanluo?
Yan Aohan smiled faintly. "I cannot say too much, but I can tell you this. Ordinary people’s threads are just vermilion red threads. There is only one purple-gold red thread in heaven and earth. When searching, it automatically splits into two, yin and yang. The marriage bound by the purple-gold rope is not for one life, but for eternity."
"What if the two people never meet?" Zhu Yanyi asked, speechless.
"Then they are destined to be lonely forever," Yan Aohan glanced at Zhu Yanyi. Wasn’t she always lonely? If she hadn’t discovered Zhu Yanyi, some fragments flashed through Yan Aohan’s mind. She shook her head slightly. Some things could not be said yet.
"Why do I feel more confused the more I listen?" Zhu Yanyi patted her head. If the purple-gold rope was so important, why did the Venerable Yanluo bind it to her? And why did Yan Aohan know so clearly? Her head felt heavy.
Yan Aohan rubbed Zhu Yanyi’s head. "Stop overthinking. You will know one day. For now, just consider me an old bull eating tender grass. I am determined to eat this tender grass. Quickly put your emerald-inlaid gold rose in the right secret room. That room is for you from now on. You can hide anything interesting or important that is inconvenient to carry there. The right secret room is one-third smaller than the left one. It should be enough for you."
It was certainly enough. This secret room was as large as three rooms. One-third smaller meant it was the size of two rooms. She probably wouldn’t have that many things to stuff in. Zhu Yanyi muttered to herself. Later, she would discover that once there was space, things would naturally fill it. Sometimes, two rooms might not even be enough. Fortunately, she could store many things in her Ruyi Space, but that was a story for later.
Zhu Yanyi opened the right secret room. There were many shelves inside. It seemed Yan Aohan had planned the layout when modifying the secret room. Zhu Yanyi placed the emerald-inlaid gold rose in a corner, then came out and closed the door.
