It wasn't that she lacked charm; with Yi Yi's face alone, even if she stood there obediently, he would be captivated. Yet, this same Yi Yi gradually extinguished the flames of desire in Mu Nanxun's heart. All this was simply because he knew Yi Yi too well, knowing she could never possibly act that way.

Mu Nanxun remained unmoved, his face turning ashen.

Who exactly are you?

"Mumu, it's me, Yi Yi. It's only been a short time since we parted, how can you not recognize me? Seeing you like this really hurts me."

The woman sobbed, her face streaked with tears.

Mu Nanxun was even more certain that this could not possibly be Yi Yi. He ruthlessly pushed away the woman clinging to him, completely regaining his senses. His voice was icy cold, and a gleaming dagger was pressed against her neck.

"You are not Yi Yi. Tell me, who are you? Where have you hidden Yi Yi? Hand her over!"

The woman stared at him blankly, without saying a word.

Mu Nanxun lost his patience, and the sharp dagger almost slashed through the woman's neck. Bright red blood dripped down the dagger with a "splat," blooming into a strange flower on the cold ground.

Suddenly, the woman in front of him vanished without a trace, as if she had never existed.

Mu Nanxun looked around warily, but there was no trace of the woman.

He felt a little dizzy, and he could vaguely hear the howling of wolves in the distance.

Just then, an even thicker white smoke rose from the ground, completely obscuring his vision.

This time, the white smoke had no odor; it simply obscured everything in the basement, making it impossible for him to see anything.

He couldn't move forward. If he made any rash moves, he might trigger some kind of mechanism, which would be counterproductive. It was better to just stay where he was and wait.

After a while, the thick smoke gradually dissipated. Right in front of Mu Nanxun, there was a figure.

Mu Nanxun gradually saw the man's face clearly and ran towards him.

"Old man..."

After taking a few steps, Mu Nanxun suddenly stopped and stood still to look around.

Something's not right... The old man was clearly traveling abroad, so why is he suddenly here? And the old man's expression is too kind; this isn't like him at all.

"Come here... I have something to tell you."

The old man waved to him, squinting his eyes and smiling slightly.

If he had only suspected something before, now he was almost certain that this was definitely not the old man.

The person in front of me does look exactly like the old man, but there is no trace of the old man in his expression.

"Who are you……?"

Mu Nanxun pointed the dagger at the man. If it really wasn't the old man, he would plunge the dagger into his heart, just as he had just held the dagger to the neck of the fake Yi Yi.

"You brat... You don't even recognize me anymore, and you're asking me who I am? You heartless little bastard!"

Upon hearing these words, Mu Nanxun hesitated again.

Why is this old man acting the same as usual again?

"What are you standing there for? Get over here now, you're driving me crazy!"

Mu Nanxun stood frozen in place, unable to react in time. The old man had already strode towards him.

"What's wrong with you? Are you stupid? Am I that scary?"
