There's another tourist spot near the ancient city that's definitely worth visiting, and it has received rave reviews online.

Wu Yue had also made a special trip plan and originally wanted to go with everyone, but when she saw Que Guanghuai appear with a girl wearing a black floral fishtail dress, she realized that they might... most likely have to return to the capital today.

Ah! I should have let Yan Xiaoyu stay a little longer, so they could have left together.

Thinking about the return journey without Yan Xiaoyu's company, Wu Yue instantly felt as if her body had been hollowed out.

Night Moon Demon leaned closer, her tone a mix of confusion and amusement: "I don't understand young men and women, willing to give up their lifespans to each other, just to..."

“Feelings are just that unpredictable,” Wu Yue replied casually, deeply understanding the sentiment.

"So, you're the one who defied fate to change your friend's destiny?"

Night Moon Demon asked bluntly, and Wu Yue didn't have much time to think of a response. But there was no need. Night Moon Demon was truly amazing. She could see so much from the stars, and even without the biased glasses Night Moon Demon had given her, she could still see so many intricate emotional and life-related threads. Wow, she was definitely no ordinary demon.

Wu Yue nodded frankly, "I guess so, I deserve half the credit."

Finally, she asked dejectedly, "Mu Liuguang has received two years of lifespan offerings from Lao Que, but his physical form can only last for three months. If there's no new method, he'll still disappear after that. Does what you mean by 'putting yourself in a life-or-death situation' require some kind of opportunity?"

"Didn't you bring back a little monster? Ask it."

“I had Yan Chiyu take the Taotie back to the capital first; it’s not here.”

"Actually, the divination indicated that the time would be... about two months later, around New Year's Day. But the fact that this Miss Mu suddenly had a physical form was quite unexpected."

Night Moon Demon scrutinized Mu Liuguang intently. "Besides the life-saving offerings from living people, there's also the spiritual power of a third person maintaining her life. The pale blue glow... the scent of this spiritual power... it should be your Yan Xiaoyu's."

[They're a universally acknowledged couple, your Yan Xiaoyu~]

What exactly happened yesterday? How did Mu Liuguang turn into a human?

Don't worry, Lao Que will explain.

I can roughly deduce a thing or two from what the two of them said.

Upon hearing this, Wu Yue suddenly realized: "I know, it's that thing that Yan Xiaoyu touched between Lao Que's eyebrows that day. Although he said it was only to protect him so that he could meet Mu Liuguang, it seems that it has other uses as well."

Ye Yue smiled mischievously, "Brother Chi Yu is quite kind to these children~"

Wu Yue almost lost her balance. "Brother Ye Yue, that's a rather scary way to address you."

“When I heard Susu call him that, I felt quite warm and friendly. Besides, I like the way Brother Chi Yu is, so there’s nothing wrong with calling him that. Look at him, he cares so much about these children. He’s such a kind person.”

“After all, he’s a junior. As his uncle, or even his grandfather, of course I have to take care of him.” Wu Yue nodded. Then, she suddenly thought of something and tilted her head to ask, “Does this title really sound affectionate? In my mind, if I say it, it might disgust people, not just me, but the other person as well.”

Back in the day, she encountered quite a few seemingly innocent but actually manipulative women who called the male lead or second male lead "brother" or something similar. To be honest, hearing them call him that really gave her goosebumps.

However, when Su Youbing and Ye Yueyao shouted, she didn't feel uncomfortable at all, and even thought it sounded kind of nice?

It's probably not a sign of being possessed.

Night Moon Demon slowly turned her head, staring at Wu Yue's earnest expression as she asked the question, and replied with equal seriousness, "Of course, why don't you try calling him that too? He'll definitely like it."
