it seem as if she couldn't sit steady for a moment. Subconsciously, she used one hand to embrace Summer's head, giving the impression that she was feeding an infant—albeit an unusually large and greed...Chapter 980: I Have Been Waiting for You For So Long (Text Version)

Climbing a mountain was physically demanding, and it required a lot of stamina. Su Su claimed to be a writer, but she seemed to have decent physical fitness and appeared to exercise regularly. However, even so, when they reached the halfway point up the mountain, she started to struggle.

"I wonder why this mountain seems much taller than we expected. We've been climbing for hours already, how come we're only half way there" Su Su sat on the ground to rest and asked in confusion.

Zhao Yujie also had a similar feeling. Although the path up the mountain was narrow, they had to hold onto branches to slowly climb upwards, which slowed their progress considerably. Yet, even after climbing from morning till noon, it seemed as if they were only halfway up the mountain, which was somewhat unusual.

"The wind is getting stronger and stronger here. Why don't we go back down" Su Su hesitated again.

"You can go ahead and come down first. I see that your stamina isn't as good anymore; if you continue climbing, you might not be able to keep up," Zhao Yujie glanced at Su Su. "I want to find out whether it's true that this Qingfeng Mountain cannot be climbed all the way to the top."

"Isn't this a bit unsafe If you climb the mountain by yourself and run into some bad people, it wouldn’t be good." Susu clearly wanted to go down the mountain but felt uneasy about leaving Zhao Yujie here alone.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine. Not only is there unlikely to be any bad guys on this mountain, even if there are, I won't fear them," Zhao Yujie didn’t think much of it. If one were to talk about the wicked, she could actually count as one; although she hadn’t killed many people over the years, a few had indeed met their end at her hands.

"Then perhaps you can wait for me here for a while," Susu thought for a moment and came up with an alternative solution.

"No need. You should go down now, since it's not easy to descend this mountain path either; if you leave earlier, you can make it before dark." Zhao Yujie shook her head and said.

Susu thought about it and finally nodded: "Alright then, but be careful!"

Seeing Zhao Yujie quickly continue climbing up, Susu muttered to herself secretly. How could someone who sings have such good stamina Is it because she dances more often But Susu remembered that Zhao Yujie seldom danced when she sang.

Zhao Yujie walked steadily on a mountain path that was both steep and narrow. Even with her martial arts foundation, she couldn’t sprint up the mountain trail, and her physical energy was gradually depleting as fatigue set in. At this point, she finally realized how difficult it would be to climb Qingfeng Mountain.

About an hour after SuSu started descending the mountain, Zhao Yujie paused and looked above her. She suddenly felt something amiss—after climbing for so long, why did she still feel as if she were at the same point on the mountainside as one hour ago

"How is it that this mountain seems to be getting higher the more I climb" Zhao Yujie was puzzled and hesitated slightly before continuing her ascent. After another ten minutes or so, she suddenly noticed that the path ahead had widened, and it no longer appeared as steep. However, instead of leading directly up the mountain, the trail began to wind around Qingfeng Mountain like a ring road.

"The path above seems to have been constructed by someone," Zhao Yujiej thought, feeling confused. It wasn’t unusual for mountain paths to be built, but what was strange here was that there had been no construction on the stretch of trail she had just passed, while this upper section appeared to be newly made. Could it be that someone lived up here Otherwise, how could villagers from Qingfeng Village have only constructed this upper path and left the lower part untouched

Zhao Yujie continued walking forward, observing her surroundings carefully. Soon enough, she was convinced that there were indeed people living above—she spotted a wooden house.

The wooden house stood by the side of the trail, its main structure supported by several large trees. It wasn’t very big but had been built quite well; although she couldn’t see inside, just looking at it from outside gave her the impression that it was comfortable. For an instant, Zhao Yujie even felt like staying there herself.

Zhao Yujie was contemplating whether to go into the cabin when suddenly, someone came out of it. Upon seeing this person, Zhao Yujie immediately froze.

"Y-you—you—" Zhao Yujie pointed at him and repeated several "you"s but couldn't form a complete sentence because she was too shocked.

The man stretched lazily and grinned at Zhao Yujie: "My wife, the great demoness, why did you take so long to come I’ve been waiting for you for a while now!"

"How did you end up here" Finally, Zhao Yujie asked her question. She was already very surprised when she unexpectedly ran into him last night; she never expected that she would meet this guy again halfway up the mountain!

Summer could shock Zhao Yujie to such an extent, and at this moment, Summer grinned at Zhao Yujie once more: "My wife, the great demoness, I was waiting for you!"

"Are you lying How could that be possible" Zhao Yujie said sourly.

"Big Fairy Wife, why would I lie to ghosts Ghosts can't be married off as wives anyway, and Senior Miss Immortal said there are no ghosts," Summer said with an innocent expression. "I was truly waiting for you! When I heard you talking to that ugly girl Su Su about climbing the mountain, I came here early to wait for you!"

"There's not just one way up the mountain; how did you know I'd pass through this spot" Zhao Yujie still didn't quite believe that Summer had been waiting for her.

"Big Fairy Wife, you don't understand. No matter which path there are, all of them eventually lead to here," Summer said with a smile.

Zhao Yujie was momentarily stunned. She wasn't sure if it was her imagination, but this rascal seemed quite familiar with Green Peak Mountain.

"Whose is this wooden house" Zhao Yujie pointed at the wooden cabin and asked again.

"Mine!" Summer replied without hesitation.

"Yours" Zhao Yujie looked doubtful, "Did you live here before"

"Big Fairy wife, can't you see that this wooden house was just built" Xia Tian retorted.

Zhao Yujie was taken aback again. She then examined it carefully and eventually realized that the rascal wasn’t lying to her; the wooden house did look brand new and definitely hadn’t existed before. As for how long it had been since construction, she couldn't determine that.

"So when exactly was this house built" Zhao Yujie still didn’t believe that the house truly belonged to Xia Tian, nor could she believe that a rascal like him could build such a good wooden house.

"Last night!" Xia Tian blinked his eyes. "I came here last night and built a house. I originally planned on inviting Big Fairy wife you to live with me, but it seemed too late, so I decided to wait for you here. However, Big Fairy wife your speed is quite slow; when I woke up from my nap, you still hadn’t arrived! Leaving me waiting here for half an hour!"

Zhao Yujie was utterly speechless; this rascal must have a problem in the head to come build a wooden house on the mountain at midnight! you know Ning Jie seemed to be getting colder and colder, then asked again: "Really, will I stop feeling cold after just one hour""You won't feel so cold after an hour," Xia Tian casually said. "By t...
