I Am A Dignified Immortal Emperor, But The Sect Actually Let Me Marry

Wei Yunzheng took a sip of tea and then handed a cup to Zhou Chouchou, pretending not to care as he spoke:

"Everyone has their own secrets. Senior Brother just wants to help Junior Brother solve his problems. Since Junior Brother doesn't want to say much, it's fine."

Then he sighed and said disappointedly:

"It seems that Senior Brother has overstepped. I always thought that we were as close as brothers and that I could tell Senior Brother everything truthfully."

"Senior Brother treats Junior Brother well on ordinary days, and Junior Brother knows that. No matter what happens, I am willing to honestly tell Senior Brother, without any hidden intentions."

"Senior Brother is not angry because of Junior Brother, but rather reflecting on himself."

"Now that I think about it, Junior Brother has grown up. He should have his own little secrets and things that Senior Brother shouldn't know."

After saying this, he sighed with regret, wearing a look of being in the wrong.

Zhou Chouchou hesitated for a moment, then said in a timid voice, "It's not that Chouchou intentionally hid it from Senior Brother, it's just something that is difficult to talk about."

"If Senior Brother wants to hear it, Chouchou can tell Senior Brother now."

Wei Yunzheng became interested, and the four words "difficult to talk about" hit his heart accurately. It seemed that Chouchou might have some impression of what had happened.

He speculated in his mind.

He had already put on a listening posture, but he cursed the fact that there was a missing bag of caramelized melon seeds in the Extreme Emptiness Hall at this moment.

Zhou Chouchou continued, "Junior Brother had a dream, a dream that was too real, making Junior Brother think that it was something that actually happened."

"So when I learned that Senior Brother had always been taking care of Chouchou and never left, I felt a bit lost."

"Junior Brother might as well talk about what kind of dream it was."

Wei Yunzheng asked.

Zhou Chouchou blushed, pursed his lips, and a foolish smile appeared on his face. "It's that kind of dream."

"Senior Brother, you know."

Confirmed.

Although Zhou Chouchou had lost his memories of what happened with Xiao Yan, there were still some remnants, making him mistake it for a dream.

While Wei Yunzheng was thinking about it, Zhou Chouchou continued to speak:

"That girl was really beautiful, like a fairy. Chouchou has a deep impression of what happened."

"Wait, do you remember her face?" Wei Yunzheng exclaimed.

If he remembered, wouldn't he recognize that it was Xiao Yan?

At least seventy to eighty percent similar.

Zhou Chouchou paused, frowned, and pondered for a moment. "I can't remember, but I know she must be extremely beautiful!"

Alright.

Wei Yunzheng comforted him, "Although Senior Brother doesn't understand how you feel right now, Chouchou, a dream is just a dream. Don't get too caught up in it."

Subconsciously, Wei Yunzheng would rather Zhou Chouchou not remember anything, fearing that one day he would remember something and not know how to accept it.

Zhou Chouchou responded with a shallow "Hmm."

Obviously, he didn't take Wei Yunzheng's words to heart.

Instead, he sighed, "Senior Brother, actually, for me, there is no question of getting caught up or not, because I now understand that it was just a dream."

"Perhaps, it's only possible for something like that to happen in a dream."

A bitter smile appeared on his face, as if mocking himself.

Wei Yunzheng was stunned for a moment. How did his junior suddenly become so emo? He hadn't even heard any depressing music.

Is cultivating immortality also emo?

He said, "Junior Brother, you're overthinking. You will eventually meet a woman who likes you. Thinking about these things now is useless. Just focus on your cultivation."

Zhou Chouchou listened carefully.

And said seriously, "I appreciate Senior Brother's good intentions, but Junior Brother doesn't have too many expectations. I'm just stating the facts."

"Senior Brother, we are like two extremes."

"We are different."

"Hey!" Wei Yunzheng frowned and reprimanded lightly, "Junior Brother, don't belittle yourself. It will happen!"

Zhou Chouchou insisted, "Senior Brother, Junior Brother has no intention of belittling himself. I'm really just stating the facts."

"My senior brother was born as a celestial being in the clouds. Everyone loves and respects him, and all women are attracted to him. All the elders hold him in high regard. This is a feeling that I, as his junior brother, will never experience."

"As for me, I was born as a lowly person in the mud. I have an ugly appearance and wherever I go, I am treated unfairly."

"The elders scold me, the disciples dislike me, and women avoid me. This is a feeling that my senior brother will never understand."

"So..."

"Sometimes, just having a dream once makes me content."

Speaking up to this point, Wei Yunzheng had nothing more to say. He looked at Zhou Chouchou's face and a hint of pity flashed in his eyes.

The world is inherently unfair.

Some things are given at birth.

Some sins are born with.

What right does he have to comfort Zhou Chouchou? After all, he cannot truly empathize.

If he were to only scold Zhou Chouchou for his lack of ambition and give him what he believed to be effective encouragement, it would be meaningless.

Wei Yunzheng fell silent for a moment.

He got up and left.

A moment later, he returned with a pot of celestial brew in his hand, two porcelain bowls, and placed them on the table, facing Zhou Chouchou's bewildered gaze.

With a smile, he said, "Junior brother, why not tell your story to senior brother?"

Zhou Chouchou was momentarily stunned, but a mischievous smile appeared on his face as he replied, "Sure, junior brother will tell senior brother."

"Good."

Both of them took a bowl and poured the celestial brew.

Wei Yunzheng never drank alcohol on ordinary days. This pot of celestial brew was Perfected Being Sheng Xu's private collection, but it was requisitioned today.

The taste was rich and fragrant, without any spicy or pungent sensation. Instead, it was exceptionally sweet, filled with the rich aroma of plants and trees.

The feeling of slight intoxication came quickly.

Zhou Chouchou's narration was about to begin.

He rolled up his sleeves, sat there boldly, supported his body with one hand, and his eyes were full of reminiscence as he contemplated how to start.

Wei Yunzheng chuckled and said, "How about senior brother asks you a few questions first?"

"Sure."

"Junior brother, are you Yun Dan Perfected Being's biological child?!"

Um...

"I suppose."

An ambiguous answer.

"Junior brother, in the entire Extreme Emptiness, which girl is the most beautiful?!"

"Senior sister Mu Yao, she is a perfect match for senior brother."

"But I have to say, there are too many beautiful girls in Extreme Emptiness, even the ugly ones are fierce."

"That's their problem."

"Hey!"

"Senior brother, don't say that."

"Do you have any aspirations in life, Zhou Chouchou?!"

"Or rather, what kind of person do you most want to become?"

Zhou Chouchou pondered for a moment.

He answered, "Before coming to Extreme Emptiness, Zhou Chouchou wanted to cultivate diligently, step by step into the Azure Cloud, become a great cultivator respected by everyone, and not be looked down upon by anyone."

"But after arriving at Extreme Emptiness, I realized that there are too many geniuses in this world. No matter how hard I work, it is difficult to catch up with others. So I just want to live a mediocre life as an ordinary person."

"And then I met senior brother. Senior brother is the most stunning person I have ever seen, and also the person I like and admire the most."

"So, my current ideal is to do whatever I can for senior brother and witness his fame spreading throughout the world!"
