Chapter Four, A Promise Made One Morning

She glared at Huang Yu with resentment, resorting to threats after failing to entice him. How could she have almost been seduced by this man just moments ago? She felt foolish. She should not be entangled in why a wolf was being so friendly towards her, but rather focus on how to guard against the wolf.

Does it mean that if she does not learn to cultivate spiritual power, she can only struggle to live for a year? Does the threat of death and dying extremely difficult intimidate her? Tang Miao felt a tightness in her chest from being choked. Yet, she had the stubborn temperament of a dead duck, refusing to back down, and said: "What if I want to die? The sooner I die, the sooner I can be reborn! After eighteen years, I will be a good man again! It is definitely better than staying here!"

Tang Miao finally understood why Huang Yu had shown such an expression. A single promise had cost him his life. However, she did not want to lecture Huang Yu; matters of life and death are significant, and it is indeed foolish to act on someone else's command to take one's own life. After all, Huang Yu's strong sense of commitment was greatly beneficial to her, who was just stepping into the realm of immortality. Therefore, with a glint in her eye, Tang Miao said, "My request is very simple: as long as you promise, if you do not die, you must protect me."

Even the dreams of the next life were ruthlessly extinguished by Huang Yu, leaving Tang Miao increasingly distressed. She simply chose to remain silent.

Tang Miao was seething with anger, and Huang Yu was also in a state of turmoil. ... Since only such a minor immortal could be sent after five years ... ... He fell silent for a moment and then solemnly said: "If you can cultivate the spirit of water control to resolve my difficulties in the Eastern Wilderness, I will grant you a promise"

Tang Miao became increasingly angry as she spoke firmly: "I have never practiced immortality, and this broken token in my hand was forcibly given to me by you. I do not wish to take you as my master to learn any spiritual power! I only want to return to the mortal realm you mentioned, to be by my parents' side!"

Huang Yu looked at Tang Miao with a smile that was not quite a smile, reflecting on how many years it had been since he had threatened anyone, and realizing it was still quite effective. Since he had made a promise first, he would not go back on it. Meeting Tang Miao's probing gaze, Huang Yu's thoughts stirred, and he self-deprecatingly said: "Surely you wouldn't want me to destroy my own primordial spirit, would you?"

Huang Yu was taken aback, not expecting that his promise would be so easily utilized by Tang Miao. The thought of becoming the bodyguard of this little immortal filled Huang Yu with a sense of absurdity that was both amusing and infuriating. A low-ranking little immortal commanding a high immortal to be a bodyguard, she must be the first one to do so. However, only she could refine the Spirit of Water Control to restore his spiritual power to its original state, leaving him with no choice at the moment. Huang Yu solemnly nodded and repeated Tang Miao's words: "As long as I do not die, I will protect you."

Huang Yu solemnly nodded and repeated Tang Miao's words: "As long as I do not die, I will protect you."

Threatening me? Now that you are my bodyguard, do you still dare to threaten me? At this thought, Tang Miao's eyebrows couldn't help but twitch with delight on her face, filled with pride. She had quickly formulated three phased goals. First, she aimed to survive well in this barren land. Once her spiritual power reached a profound level, she would visit the underworld to check on her parents' situation. Finally, she aspired to break through the so-called barrier of the celestial realm and return to the mortal world where she had lived for twenty-two years.

Finally, she aspired to break through the so-called barrier of the celestial realm and return to the mortal world where she had lived for twenty-two years.

Is she really not afraid of the extinction of her primordial spirit? Huang Yu furrowed her brows and said: "People from the celestial realm do not die; they only experience the extinction of their primordial spirit. Once the primordial spirit is extinguished, it turns to ashes, and it is impossible to enter the cycle of reincarnation and be reborn."

How she longs for and reminisces about the mundane world filled with the essence of fireworks

Hearing his solemn promise, Tang Miao secretly exclaimed in delight. She excitedly counted on her fingers and said: "Let me explain, this protection includes many aspects. First, I cannot starve, so you need to provide me with food. Second, if I sleep in the wilderness, I will catch a cold, so you are responsible for finding me a good place to stay. Third, this place is too desolate; in order to prevent me from getting depressed and dying, you cannot ignore me with a stern face. Fourth... can I take a look at your white jade ring? I need to know what kind of immortal I have hired as my bodyguard, right?"

Who cares? ! '' Tang Miao blurted out. At the same time she looked up, she was taken aback. Huang Yu's extraordinarily beautiful and enchanting face was extremely serious, her gaze resolute. She shrank back slightly, pouted her lips, and stubbornly met Huang Yu's gaze without backing down.

Huang Yu's expression turned cold: "I only agreed to protect you, I did not permit you to offend me"

Tang Miao shot him a glance, thinking to herself, why would I make you commit suicide when everything is perfectly fine?

The grass on the ground sways in response, displaying a fervent and jubilant demeanor

However, Huang Yu then said very seriously: "Even if it means destroying my own primordial spirit, Huang Yu will absolutely not betray the promise made."

Huang Yu's voice turned cold: "If you truly wish for your primordial spirit to perish, I can lend you a helping hand. While your flesh and vital essence still remain, feed these grasses; they may survive until winter."

Huang Yu glared at her and said, "What a foolish little fairy! Can you go back? Without spiritual power, a fairy body can only last for a year at most in the Eastern Wilderness. Without spiritual power, you will most likely be lying on the ground waiting to die for that year."

She awkwardly stopped speaking under Huang Yu's increasingly cold gaze. Tang Miao secretly scolded herself for being overly excited; with her current slender arms, she couldn't even twist Huang Yu's thigh, let alone his fingers.

Strength determines everything; she lacks spiritual power and celestial techniques, and being unfamiliar with the surroundings, she can only yield. Tang Miao secretly resolved to reclaim her position whenever the opportunity arose. She raised her eyebrows; yielding is one thing, but she must clarify how much benefit she can gain. She tentatively asked, "Can you agree to any request I make?"

Water these grasses with her blood? Tang Miao's arm erupted with dense goosebumps. This is a blatant threat! Tang Miao was merely frustrated; she never expected to die, let alone be consumed by these grasses after her death
