Chapter 205: So I Owe Him?
If one day, the god you believe in stands before you and offers to enlighten you into immortality, would you be ecstatic? I believe most people in this world would excitedly say: I am willing.
Watching Ye Xuan in the scene, many cultivators were envious. They have cultivated all their lives and have never seen a true deity, let alone been enlightened by one into immortality.
But Ye Xuan just played the flute for a while, and the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady appeared to offer to enlighten him into immortality. Such luck is extraordinary.
At this moment, many people secretly thought they might need to learn some musical instruments too. Maybe one day, they could also attract the attention of a deity. However, at this moment, they could only watch Ye Xuan in the scene with envy.
“It seems that Ye Xuan must have agreed to the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady’s enlightenment without hesitation.”
“He must’ve also gave up with the appointment with the Dragon Princess which is quite shameful.”
Some people, jealous of Ye Xuan’s opportunity with the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady, couldn’t help but make some sour remarks. In reality, if it were them, they would have agreed to go with the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady without hesitation.

In the scene, Ye Xuan heard the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady reveal her identity and was somewhat surprised. “Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady... Are you a deity from the heavens?”
The Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady slightly raised her lips, showing a rather cold smile and nodded.
“Sorry, I can’t go with you.” Ye Xuan said.
“Uh... Why?” The Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady was a bit puzzled: “Don’t you want to become immortal?”
“Yes, of course I do.” Ye Xuan said: “But I have an appointment here with someone and cannot leave with you.”
“An appointment with someone?” The Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady said: “Do you mean to tell me that just because of an appointment, you want to miss this chance to ascend to immortality? You will regret this in the future.”
“Leaving with you, I don’t know if I will regret it in the future, but if I leave with you now, I might regret it immediately.”
Ye Xuan bowed to the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady, “Thank you, Goddess, for your favor, but perhaps I am not destined to become immortal.”
The Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady looked at Ye Xuan quietly.

At this moment, all the cultivators couldn’t help but show a hint of sadness. For mortals, they were just ants in the eyes of cultivators. In a fleeting moment, the world changes, and for cultivators, time seems to have little meaning.
But for the celestial beings, their entire lives also seem to be just a fleeting moment. If given the opportunity, they would definitely want to agree to go with the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady.
As for appointments... It’s not such a big deal, why keep it? Moreover, the Donghai Dragon Princess didn’t arrive on time herself.
“Thank you for your guidance, but I still want to stay here.” Ye Xuan said: “I have an appointment with the Donghai Dragon Princess, and she hasn’t arrived yet. I cannot leave.”
“Sigh.” The Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady sighed and shook her head: “What a pity.”
It was unclear what she was pitying. After speaking, she turned and left.
In the next moment, Ye Xuan returned to the place where he was playing the flute, feeling a bit lost. He knew he had missed a great opportunity. However, there was no regret in his eyes.
If it were a normal appointment, he wouldn’t need to keep it. But the Donghai Dragon Princess saved his life; how could he not wait for her?
At this moment, the sea waves parted, and the Donghai Dragon Princess walked out of the sea. She smiled at Ye Xuan: “Sorry to keep you waiting. My father insisted on playing with me, and it took a lot of effort to get away.”
“No problem, I haven’t waited long.” Ye Xuan smiled. At this moment, his expression was extraordinarily gentle.
————
Watching this scene, many people couldn’t help but be moved. At this moment, Ye Xuan truly seemed like a gentle person. He clearly waited for the Dragon Princess for so long, even missing a great opportunity.
But he did not blame the Dragon Princess for being late. Actually, if the Dragon Princess had arrived a bit earlier, Ye Xuan could have kept his appointment and still left with the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady.
Alas, it was such a pity. Watching this scene, the future Dragon Princess couldn’t help but twitch her face. She never thought she had such a past with Ye Xuan.
Could it be that because of her tardiness, Ye Xuan missed this great opportunity, which led to his later actions? This shouldn’t be–!! Why did she have no memory of such a past?
————
“Ye Xuan, your flute playing is so beautiful. Can you teach me to play this flute?” In the evening, the Dragon Princess reluctantly stood under the sunset and asked Ye Xuan, “So I can play with you in the future too.”
“Of course.” Ye Xuan said, “But it’s already late today. I’ll teach you tomorrow.”
“Hmm, that’s settled then–!!!” The Dragon Princess nodded happily and left.
