Of course, Yun Qi, who was hiding in the shadows, was equally frustrated, and his expression was also very unpleasant.

Li Muge is really something else. After having affairs with other men and being discovered, she's now turning to other women.

What's so great about that woman?

Can anyone be as good-looking as him?

But what's there for women to talk about? Yun Qi looked around the room and saw that the two women's shadows were almost touching.

Veins bulged on his forehead. He was about to step forward when You Zhengqing, who was guarding the door, kicked it open and went inside.

Without saying a word, he dragged Li Muge out.

"Kid, do you want to die? Don't you know whose woman Yan Yue is? You dare to touch my people?" You Zhengqing narrowed his eyes, his killing intent rising.

"I don't know." Li Muge deliberately wanted to test Yan Yue's importance in You Zhengqing's heart.

His words were also meant to provoke You Zhengqing.

"However, Grand Tutor You, as the saying goes, a beautiful lady is sought after by a gentleman. Yan Yue is just a courtesan. I am a customer as long as I pay her."

"guest."

You Zhengqing suddenly drew his dagger, intending to stab Li Muge to death, but his wrist was grabbed the next moment.

Yun Qi threw You Zhengqing off the building.

He fell in the lobby; he'll probably break a few ribs.

Li Muge was about to question Yun Qi about what he had done to upset her.

It's just getting stabbed, what's the big deal?

She won't die.

Moreover, that woman named Yan Yue had already figured out that she was a woman, making things seem increasingly interesting.

Before You Zhengqing's men could catch up, Yun Qi grabbed her hand and ran away from there.

No magic was used.

They were simply using the common escape methods of ordinary people.

Li Muge was taken aback; let alone Yun Qi having a cleanliness obsession.

Given her relationship with Yun Qi, they always seem to be trying to trip each other up.

As long as we don't kill each other, that's fine.

Why did Yun Qi hold her hand? Oh no, could this lunatic have ulterior motives?

After shaking off You Zhengqing's men, Yun Qi felt a warmth in his palms, and then realized what was happening.

The expressions on their faces were a colorful array.

Li Muge felt very pleased, realizing that this guy had forgotten.

Yun Qi wanted to let go, realizing he hadn't noticed before how foolish he had been to hold Li Muge's hand.

This woman has never been meticulous in her life; who knows how many bacteria and viruses are on her hands?

"Oh, Demon Lord, thank you so much just now." Li Muge calmly raised her other hand and grasped Yun Qi's hand, which was trying to pull away.

"You're welcome, let go." Yun Qi's expression showed discomfort, but Li Muge seemed not to notice at all, and instead gripped him tighter and tighter.

"Demon Lord, as I said, you are a truly great person. With your glorious image in my heart, I feel like I have found a guiding light."

"Li Muge, release me!" Yun Qi gritted his teeth. "I am a good person, but Li Muge, the implication in your words sounds like you are repaying kindness with enmity."

"No," Li Muge chuckled.

Anyway, seeing Yun Qi unhappy makes her happy.

But on the surface, she still had to put on a show: "Demon Lord, how could that be? You've misunderstood me. Although you've married me, a ruler is a ruler, and a subject is still a subject."

"Once you are the Demon Lord, you will be the Demon Lord for life. Anyway, Demon Lord, rest assured, with me here, your position as Demon Lord will be secure."

"Well, thank you, Li Muge. Have you washed your hands? Let go of me now."

Yun Qi was about to cast a spell when Li Muge wisely let go of his hand.

On the way back to the inn.

Yun Qi almost wanted to stuff cotton plugs into his ears.

In the past, when Li Muge met him, it was always with scheming and plotting, and they hardly ever exchanged more than a few words.

If Li Muge really spoke a few more words to him, Yun Qi would worry that Li Muge had set some kind of trap for him to fall into.

Now…

The streets were deserted because it was the middle of the night.

Yun Qi, who was ahead, did not respond to Li Muge's words.

But this did not dampen Li Muge's enthusiasm for talking. Behind Yun Qi, she chatted on and on about everything she had encountered in the mortal realm.

Yun Qi's twitching lips almost didn't stop.

His relationship with Li Muge had always been tense.

Of course, he admired Li Muge's methods.

But that doesn't mean Li Muge can stand in his way.

Seeing that Yun Qi hadn't replied, Li Muge also felt bored. Suddenly, she caught sight of a water ghost standing in the lake.

She was muttering to herself, mostly talking about her life before she died.

The female ghost was named Ruan Niang.

She was an excellent embroiderer and lived a very good life.

But he has one flaw: he likes to gossip and always wanders around chatting with neighbors.

Finally, on his way home from work, he accidentally fell into the water and could not be reincarnated, so he could only live in the drowned lake.

Even as a ghost, she couldn't shake her love of gossip.

Li Muge enjoys lively gatherings.

She prefers having someone to talk to so she doesn't feel lonely.

She simply stopped and sat by the bridge, listening to the water ghosts singing.

As they sang...

When Ruan Niang discovered that Li Muge could see her, she couldn't hold back her chatter any longer.

The two chatted about everything from the east neighbor's wife having an affair to where the old lady in the west neighbor's house liked to hide her silver.

Ruan Niang shouted loudly from the water, "I told you, sister, it's also the fault of the master's wife for cheating on him."

"I heard that the husband of the landlord's wife is no good."

"What's this all about? Tsk tsk tsk." Li Muge simply produced some sunflower seeds, feeling that there was no point in cracking them open.

They simply used magic to burn it for Ruan Niang.

After receiving the melon seeds, Ruan Niang became even more enthusiastic.

"Young lady, you have no idea, do you? If a man is no good, he's no good. The husband of that neighbor's wife even beats women. I could hear it from this far away."

"That man is such a scoundrel." Ruan Niang cracked melon seeds. "If I weren't trapped in the lake, I would definitely teach that woman a lesson for her husband."

"That's not true."

Li Muge wanted to continue chatting, but the next moment, a rope appeared around his waist.

She didn't even have time to say goodbye to Ruan Niang before she was pulled back to Yun Qi's side.

"Li Muge, have you said enough?" Yun Qi said with a dark face. "Have you forgotten that you came to the mortal world on important business, not to gossip about other people's affairs?"

"Oh, I see. He's a meddlesome man who cares about everything and what others say."

Li Muge muttered to herself cautiously.

As for why Yun Qi was so concerned about the Heart Gu, it was because of his understanding of Li Muge.

He knew perfectly well how much Li Muge cared about Xiao Shaoyao.

Once Li Muge's heart-cursing poison is cured, he will definitely not let the Empress, Wuchen, and Su Qing off the hook.

At that time, he would just wait for Li Muge's feud with the Immortal Realm to spiral out of control.

The contract barrier between the immortal and demon realms has been broken.

Then in this immortal realm, he will definitely make those self-important immortals taste what it's like to be in purgatory.
