Wu Yue was puzzled.

Just as she was about to ask what was wrong, the necklace that the deer had transformed into returned to her palm.

"Little Wuyue, there's a barrier, you can't get out."

Wu Yue: "..."

I encountered this twice in one day. What on earth is this thing?

"Wu Yue, give me your hand."

As Wu Yue was pondering, five words suddenly floated down from above her head.

"Yan, isn't this the wrong time to hold hands?" The girl silently put her hands behind her back, staring at Yan Chiyu with a slightly strange look in her eyes.

[This girl is definitely straight!]

[Oh my god, I can't handle this hand fetish... I love Yan Chiyu's hands so much!]

[Yan Chiyu is truly a man of unparalleled good looks, oh my god, his youthful charm is just too endearing!]

Yan Chiyu raised his hand in a chop gesture, and Wu Yue immediately realized that this seemingly unassuming classmate was trying to knock her unconscious.

Is he about to unleash his power?

Wu Yue paused for a moment, then immediately shoved her hand into Yan Chiyu's palm: "Here, here, here!"

Yan Chiyu's deep, dark eyes flashed with a hint of inquiry: "Can you also see these things?"

Wu Yue nodded, then shook her head.

She was used to playing various roles in the world of quick transmigration, but now that she was being herself again, she entered a strange place and her reactions suddenly became sluggish.

"Your answer will determine my next move."

The voice was clearly no longer as kind as before; it even carried a hint of coldness.

Wu Yue immediately understood Yan Chiyu's meaning and said with pursed lips, "I can see it."

As soon as she opened her mouth, Wu Yue regretted it.

She originally wanted to find an excuse to get by and become a low-key academic star from then on.

She was unwilling to get involved in the ghostly and supernatural affairs of this world, and always had a bad feeling about it. Alas, a lot of big trouble was bound to follow.

Yan Chiyu nodded slightly, then grasped Wu Yue's wrist.

The barrier that Lu Shu mentioned was torn apart by Yan Chiyu's bare hands in the next instant.

Wu Yue could sense the power within the barrier. If it were her, although she could also break it, it wouldn't be as easy.

Sigh!

Yan Chiyu's strength was actually above his own.

Wu Yue felt a pang of sadness; she had once been a powerful and influential figure.

...

So annoying!

He subconsciously raised his hand and bit his fist.

Why did you bite me?

A chilling voice came from above again.

Wu Yue snapped out of her daze and lowered her head.

She had a chicken leg in her mouth—or rather, Yan Chiyu's hand.

Don't say... it smells strange...

"Still not full? There's a milk tea shop up ahead, I'll treat you to milk tea."

Yan Chiyu slowly withdrew his hand, his voice was cold but his face showed no anger.

"I'm full, thank you." Wu Yue's face remained calm, but inside she was extremely embarrassed.

She looked around and realized they were no longer at the hot pot restaurant, but at the corner of a neighboring street.

"The people in the hot pot restaurant?" Wu Yue asked, offering only token concern.

"I threw your necklace in when I left."

The young man cast a light glance his way, his long eyelashes drooping slightly, and said calmly, "It's unexpected that Wu Yue would keep a mythical beast as a pet."

Wu Yue: "Would you believe me if I said he paid me out of his own pocket?"

Looking at her very serious expression, Yan Chiyu raised an eyebrow and chuckled, "Someone like you... is indeed attractive."

Wu Yue nodded seriously: "Right? I also think I have a great figure."

Yan Chiyu shook his head: "That's not what I meant."

Wu Yue's voice weakened slightly: "Is that my beauty?"

"No, not exactly. You don't have enough of those two things right now to hire people."

The boy's tone was undeniably honest.

“…Shut up!” Wu Yue angrily threw a punch.

Seeing the hint of life and energy appear on Wu Yue's usually calm face, Yan Chiyu's lips curled into a smile that was barely perceptible: "Alright, I won't say anything more."
