"Why"

"Why wasn't Lady Ya Ya told?"

Tu Shan Ya Ya held her head in her hands, looking incredulous. They had promised not to terminate the contract for the time being, so why did they suddenly leave without saying goodbye? And why did she fall asleep while kissing someone on her birthday?

Tu Shan Rongrong tilted her head slightly, looking at the desolate sight of the scattered bamboo leaves, and murmured softly.

"Sister Ya Ya, it must feel awful to be deceived, right?"

She never blamed Ya Ya. That guy Chi Musheng could fool even her, let alone her not-so-bright second sister. She just didn't expect that her older sister would do the same.

"Actually, it wasn't so much that I was scammed; it was my own choice."

Tu Shan Ya Ya shook her head in denial.

From the very beginning, she had been shamelessly pestering Chi Musheng to teach her what liking someone meant, but now she knows what liking someone means and what cuteness is.

That bastard left before he could even teach her.

Although she was reluctant to part with her and had an urge to cry, she was the older sister and couldn't cry in front of Rongrong.

"voluntary?"

Tu Shan Rongrong stared wide-eyed at Tu Shan Ya Ya. She could understand Hong Hong's contract, which was essentially hiring a male servant, but what was going on with Ya Ya?

Tu Shan Ya Ya took a sip of wine. The contract was over, so she could speak now.

"Yes, the matchmaker's test is held once a year. I failed more than two hundred times. My sister told me that there is another way: when you understand what liking someone and what love is, you can also pass the matchmaker's test."

"So, I signed a contract with that bastard to teach me what I like and love."

Tu Shan Rongrong stood frozen in place, her bitterness intensifying, her mouth parched, and her thin shoulders trembling.

Chi Musheng, what exactly did these past three years mean to them? Was it all just a joke?

It's always been Tu Shan Rongrong who deceived others, but only today do we realize that she, Tu Shan Rongrong, is the one who was deceived the most.

Tu Shan Rongrong is a complete fool, an utter fool.

"Hahaha"

At this moment, it seemed that the morbid madness in Tu Shan Rongrong's eyes reached its peak, and her strength instantly entered the realm of the Demon Emperor.

She stumbled and fell like a soulless puppet towards the abyss.

Tu Shan Ya Ya watched Tu Shan Rong Rong's departing figure, clutching the Endless Wine Pot, drinking mouthful after mouthful. She felt extremely irritable, depressed, and at a loss.

She wanted to find Chi Musheng, but the contract clearly stated that the two of them should not deliberately appear in front of each other in the future, nor should they look for each other.

As the little tyrant of Tushan, she abandoned her so-called dignity and became a fox demon who broke her promises, going to find that bastard.

Or is it really as written in the contract, that they will never appear in each other's lives again?

Meanwhile, Tu Shan Hong Hong used her demonic power to fly and travel at any cost, returning to Tu Shan in just two hours.

The moment she stepped into Tushan, her powerful demonic energy was completely depleted, and she almost fell to the ground by accident.

But she didn't mind; when her demonic power was gone, she simply ran.

When she rushed to the room with all her might, all that was left was the silver bell.

As for the bell's owner, the person she longed to embrace, was long gone, and her yearning vanished in an instant.

She had clearly tried her best to envision a future for the two of them.

And you, are you not even willing to give her a chance?

Tu Shan Honghong gripped the bell tightly, swallowing hard as she tried to open her mouth to speak.

But whenever it tries to open its mouth, it bites it down hard.

She knelt in front of the bed, trying to maintain her composure, but her body still couldn't stop twitching.

If you really have any complaints about her, you can just say it directly, and she can try to change.

So, by leaving without saying goodbye, are you telling her that you never liked her?

She leaned weakly against the bedside, looking down at the two bells in her hands.

For a wet nurse, liking someone isn't just about happiness, but also about sadness.

She recalled that night at the lantern festival, when the two of them were guessing riddles, and Chi Musheng said, "To you, the one who loves me the most is you. Can I love you in return?" If only those words were true.

And the scene in the inn where she carried Chi Musheng to bed and stole a kiss from him.

If you were going to leave in the first place, why did you agree to her request and give her hope?

Once you've touched the light, you no longer want to return to that dark, lusterless world.

But that light left without you noticing, and your world suddenly returned to what it was before.

She could have endured the darkness if she had never seen the light.

The despair and loneliness that followed the shattering of her hopes caused her immense pain.

Clutching her chest, she sobbed silently; she was the leader of Tushan.

She is the Queen of Tushan, who protects Tushan and her sister. She must never show her vulnerable side in front of others.

Even her sister couldn't be an exception, but she made an exception only for you.

All the Silver Moon Guards of Tushan were mobilized, searching for Chi Musheng along the river. For a time, a suffocating atmosphere permeated the entire Tushan area.

The protagonist who triggered all the events, Chi Musheng, arrived at a city called Lingyan with a relaxed attitude, intending to find a restaurant to fill his stomach first.

Walking down the street, he looked around, searching for a restaurant.

With his eyesight and sense of smell, he could tell how a restaurant tasted from within ten meters.

On a street corner, several Taoist priests were shouting.

"Don't miss out! A cat-eared demon girl, a lowly demon, can be taken home for just 10,000 taels!"

Chi Musheng glanced over instinctively and saw a white-haired cat-eared girl in an iron cage covered with talismans on the carriage. She was pitifully huddled up with her hands wrapped around her knees, her whole body trembling.

Looking closely, he immediately realized that this cat-eared girl was definitely a beauty.

As it happened, he was short of a maid to serve him.

If you have money, wouldn't it be a waste not to hire a couple of maids and live the life of a master?

As for buying and selling human bodies, he felt no guilt. You see, in his first year in this world, he was sold as merchandise to the Southern Kingdom by a demon.

Even a time traveler like him has become numb to this kind of thing; it happens everywhere.

A very perceptive Taoist priest spotted the richly dressed Chi Musheng and immediately ran over to introduce her.

"Young master, would you like to buy this catwoman? It's only ten thousand taels of silver. Whether you use her to warm your bed or... well, it's a great deal."

They went to great lengths to catch this cat demon, finally managing to set a trap and capture it.

If they weren't so poor they were practically penniless, they wouldn't have thought of selling, because cultivating the Tao is really expensive; it's all about money.

"Don't think I don't know the price. Ten thousand taels is too expensive. I'll buy it for five thousand taels."

Chi Musheng did not agree immediately. He was rich, but he was not stupid. Whether it was a demon or a human, as long as they did not have special skills, even if they were outstanding in appearance, they would only be worth four or five thousand taels of silver.

Upon hearing the voice, Bai Yumo's dim eyes instantly lit up with a glimmer of light as she secretly glanced at the person who had entered.
