Chapter 198 "The Grand Ghost Marriage of Yi and Jiaye!
"..."
Chen Yi stared at the mark on Jiaye's hand and remained silent for a while before he pulled Jiaye's hand, found a stone bench on the rooftop, and sat down, "It's not a mark of certain death, just a bounty."
"I'll block it for you."
"Don't."
Jiaye shook her head, her eyes filled with resolute denial, "The God Race is crossing realms just to kill me. As long as I die, everyone else will be fine."
"If I don't die, others will be affected because of me."
"I'd rather die unnoticed than become a sinner through the ages."
Chen Yi couldn't help but be amused, shaking his head lightly, "I never realized your awareness was so high before."
"I..."
Jiaye stuttered a bit, paused for a while, then lowered her head and whispered, "I just don't want Yi, oh right, and Tuberculosis Rabbit, to be affected because of me."
"We can't block a clan pursuit."
"It should be fine."
Chen Yi looked around at the old smokers on the rooftops of high-rises who were all ears, his eyes narrowed slightly as he scanned the area before continuing, "There's always a way, besides, even if you died and went to hell, I'd bring you back."
"Don't be afraid, it's a small matter."
Seeing Chen Yi glance over, the smokers on the surrounding rooftops almost simultaneously snuffed out their cigarettes, extinguished the eagerness in their hearts, and scooted off the rooftop in a flash.
In the blink of an eye, the rooftops of the other buildings were empty.
Chen Yi's influence was fully displayed in this moment.
"Pfft."
Seeing this, Jiaye, who had been a bit sad, couldn't help but laugh, then tilted her head, looking a bit nervous as she gazed at Chen Yi's sharply defined profile and muttered, smitten.
"Yi, you haven't told me what kind of girl you like yet?"
"Hmm..."
Chen Yi thought seriously for a moment before speaking, "This is a bit difficult to say, to be honest, I've never thought about this question."
"First, she must have a good figure, a pretty face."
"Although it sounds a bit tacky, I'm not exactly refined, and if I were to find a wife to grow old with, I'd still hope she could be a bit beautiful."
"And then..."
As he was seriously pondering, Chen Yi's voice suddenly stopped abruptly, and after a long while, he shook his head weakly, "I can't think of anything else, I'm not very familiar with this sort of thing, I feel it's still about the chemistry."
"Do you think I'm pretty?"
Perhaps because she didn't have many days left, Jiaye gathered the courage to ask.
Upon hearing this, Chen Yi fell silent for a while before turning to look at Jiaye, seeing her for the first time with true consideration.
Her figure was nice, with the delicate charm of a southern girl.
Her face was also very beautiful, long days of selling fish had not left any trace of weathering on her face; on the contrary, her skin was extremely smooth and fair.
She could be described as a very pretty girl.
To say she was pretty would be an understatement.
"Pretty."
He gave an exceedingly honest and sincere answer.
"Then can you date me?"
"No."
"Why?"
Jiaye's eyes dimmed a little, her hands clutching the hem of her clothes tightened unconsciously, tears starting to well up in her eyes.
"I grew up an orphan, without a father or mother, in an orphanage. My childhood memories are nothing to be proud of, and even after I became an adult, I've been hunkering down in the morgue, living day by day. My life hasn't had any outstanding moments."
"I'm an orphan too. I grew up with my brother. We're no different."
"What I mean is, growing up in that environment has made my character a bit paranoid at times, which most people can't accept. Only Tuberculosis Rabbit can accept it."
"I can completely accept it. We're on the same path."
"I..."

Just as Chen Yi was about to say something more.
Jiaye suddenly interrupted Chen Yi with some annoyance, "I just want to ask you one question, do you have even the slightest flutter of the heart towards me?"
"There is a bit, but..."
Before Chen Yi could finish speaking, he suddenly felt something warm and moist forcefully touch his lips.
"..."
Chen Yi's eyes widened suddenly as he looked down at the girl who had rushed into his arms and kissed him; his hands frozen in mid-air, completely at a loss of what to do.
He saw Jiaye with her eyes tightly closed, her lips a bit stiffly pressed against his, making no further move, seemingly having no idea about kissing beyond the mere action of lips touching lips.
The trembling of her eyelashes clearly indicated that Jiaye's heart might not be as courageous as her actions suggested.
Chen Yi couldn't help but swallow hard, observing the girl before him from such a close distance for the first time, even faintly hearing the rapid beating of his own heart. This... this was his first time being this close to a girl.
He felt as if his whole body had been electrified, continuously tingling.
Time seemed to have been paused at this very moment.
Even the twinkling stars in the sky shone brightly without blinking, as if they didn't want to miss this scene.
...
"Tsk, tsk."
Unbeknownst to him, Tuberculosis Rabbit had sneaked onto the rooftop of the building opposite Chen Yi, hiding behind a stone wall with a cigarette in his mouth, peering covertly over at Chen Yi kissing Jiaye and couldn't help but sigh emotionally.
"It's over, Yi has fallen."
"Now we can only hope that Yi and Jiaye's relationship progresses quickly."
"How so?"
Sword Without End, his face full of excitement, hiding in the shadows, couldn't help stomping his feet as he watched eagerly: "What does that have to do with anything?"
"Jiaye is going to die in three days; if their relationship progresses quickly, they might be able to have a wedding."
"If it's slow, they can only hold a ghost marriage."
"The grand ghost marriage of Yi and Jiaye does sound somewhat interesting."
Tuberculosis Rabbit glanced at the assassin's mark on Tie Chui's wrist with some emotion and spoke seriously, "Tie Chui, rest assured, when you die, I will definitely give you a funeral shrouded in utmost grandeur, to send you off in style!"
"Alright."
Tie Chui nodded slightly, his mood evidently low, clearly a bit sad.
Although he wasn't clever.
He knew that with the whole race crossing worlds to chase him, he definitely wouldn't survive.
"Say something nice for once."
Sword Without End glanced at Tuberculosis Rabbit with dissatisfaction, "Don't wish for death every day; it's just an assassination order, not a certain death crisis. And until it's upon us, we can't really say for sure."
"Besides, even if he dies, what of it? If need be, we could just drag him back from hell."
"Hell?"
Tuberculosis Rabbit cast a strange glance at Sword Without End: "Do you think the God Race that can cross worlds to come to Blue Star can also cross into hell?"
"If we want Tie Chui and Jiaye to live, it all depends on whether Yi decides to save them."
"If Yi decides to save them, the God Race couldn't lay a finger on them even if they come."
"Hm?"
Sword Without End furrowed his brows and pondered for a while before expressing hesitantly, "You mean if Yi decides to lend a hand, Tie Chui and Jiaye could survive? That's the entire God Race in action."
"Yi's Annihilate Nine Clans Skill wouldn't be useful, right? Annihilate Nine Clans can only eradicate one clan line, but with the entire race acting, who knows how many clan lines there are."
"No."
Tuberculosis Rabbit shook his head and took out a cigarette for Tie Chui, lit another one for himself, with the crimson light of the cigarette glowing in the dark. He grinned at Chen Yi on the rooftop opposite and said,
"What I mean is, if Yi decides to take action, then I will too."
"Aren't you curious about how I survived in Ruin No. 4?"
"Don't underestimate me."
"I'm quite strong, you know."
