Yama's Wedding
“Child, are you really going to let me have my way? Isn’t that a bit too generous?” The old man said with a disdainful expression.
“I wonder if there’s any way you could guide us, senior?” Xue replied, feeling utterly lost in this illusion. After being here for so long, he had only encountered this strange old man. Moreover, the old man was particularly mysterious; according to his earlier words, this space was created by him. If they wanted to leave, they could only start with him.
Upon hearing Xue’s words, the old man said, “You want to get out?”
Yao Guang could no longer hold back and poked her head out, saying, “We don’t want to leave; we’re just wandering around here for no reason.”
“You little brat, I know how to get out, but I don’t want to tell you!” the old man replied.
“You…” Yao Guang was so furious at that moment that she felt like charging at the old man and fighting him. It was utterly unreasonable.
“Hahaha! What’s wrong? Come and hit me! If you manage to kill me, you’ll never find out how to get out!” The old man laughed heartily, and Yao Guang felt an itch to take action.
“Pah! You probably don’t even know how to get out. If you did, why would you be stuck here all alone? I see you’re just a fraud,” Yao Guang retorted, looking at the cunning smile on the old man's face and thinking of a plan.
Who would have thought that this provocation would have no effect? The old man said, “Girl, your tricks won’t work on me. If I wanted to leave, I would have done so long ago. Telling you how to get out isn’t a big deal, but now I’ve changed my mind. You’ll have to stay here with me for twenty years if you want me to tell you.”
“What?” Was this old man crazy? Twenty years? Setting aside the fact that this place was bizarre, even if she spent twenty years with him, she was still a mortal. After those years, she would grow old and die anyway—what was the point of leaving?
However, Xue had a different thought in mind. Both he and Yao Guang had entered this illusion in a spiritual form. The old man before them clearly had both his body and spirit present in this space. So although he seemed a bit eccentric, his words could still be trusted; it was possible that this space was indeed of his creation. As for his earlier demand, if it weren’t for Yao Guang needing her spirit stabilized quickly, twenty years would merely be a blink of an eye in Xue’s long life.
"Senior, we cannot agree to your request," Xue replied.
Yao Guang nodded in agreement beside him, thinking, what a ridiculous request; how could they possibly comply?
"Then there's nothing more to be done. Since you are unwilling to stay here with me, I won't tell you how to leave. You might as well find the exit on your own," the old man said, closing his eyes again without even glancing at them.
Xue looked at the old man, realizing that his eccentric personality meant he would likely refuse to provide any guidance if they didn't agree to his earlier request. However, that request was simply unacceptable.
Yao Guang was still fuming. "Xue, let's just go."
With no other choice, Xue and Yao Guang reluctantly turned to leave, hoping to find another way out.
What they didn't know was that the old man opened his eyes behind them, watching their departure.
"Interesting, these two are quite interesting," he murmured before yawning and falling back asleep.
