Wu Qingyi seemed to dislike her. Before Shao Junhao could finish speaking to her, Wu Qingyi pulled him aside, and Li Muge didn't hear what she said.

All I heard were things like "idiot" and "fool," and "how dare you mess with a woman like her?"

Li Muge ran to the water vat, looked at her reflection, and was quite puzzled by what kind of woman she was.

It's not that Li Muge is narcissistic, but her appearance is quite good.

How come she's described as a shrew in Shao Junhao's friend's words?

Shao Junhao always ignored Wu Qingyi's words, putting on an extremely obedient front and nodding in agreement with whatever Wu Qingyi said.

Wu Qingyi sighed helplessly.

"Shao Junhao, can't you grow up a bit and be a little smarter? How can I be at ease with you like this?" Wu Qingyi made Shao Junhao inexplicably nervous.

"Why did Wu Qingyi say that? You're leaving."

Upon receiving a positive reply, Shao Junhao was somewhat dejected. Wu Qingyi said that since the poison had been cured...

People then become more accepting of things.

I want to go see other places.

Shao Junhao also wanted to go; who wouldn't want to travel around like that?

But he can't.

This troublesome system has its eye on him, preventing him from living as freely and unrestrained as others.

"Oh, I see." Shao Junhao tried his best to hide his disappointment: "That's good too. To be honest, I'm quite happy, Wu Qingyi. You've come to terms with your eccentricities."

"By the way, where are you planning to go first? If it's on the way, I'd like to go with you, how about it?" Shao Junhao asked, pretending to be carefree, but his heart was already in his throat.

He awaited Wu Qingyi's reply.

"No need, I'm sorry. Shao Junhao, you've always been by my side. Actually, I prefer to travel alone; it's much quieter that way."

Wu Qingyi said calmly.

Shao Junhao lowered his head even further. He didn't even dare to look up at Wu Qingyi, for fear that if he looked up again, he would see Wu Qingyi.

His tears will fall.

Well, it's a bit embarrassing for a grown man to cry.

But Wu Qingyi stayed by his side the whole time, and he was always reluctant to leave her.

All good things must come to an end.

What right does he have to have Wu Qingyi stay with him in this fictional world?

Shao Junhao returned to the courtyard listlessly, startling Li Muge: "What's wrong, Jack? Did you two have a fight because of me?"

Li Muge felt rather embarrassed, realizing that Shao Junhao had argued with his friend because of her: "I'll be going now."

She hurriedly got up.

"Stop." Shao Junhao also stood up abruptly.

"What's wrong?" Li Muge glanced at Wu Qingyi's back, then at Shao Junhao, who was clearly unable to suppress his anger. He was completely baffled.

Shao Junhao rolled up his sleeves with a sullen face.

"What do you want to do?" Li Muge's pupils widened as she assumed a defensive stance. No way, could it be that Shao Junhao wanted to beat her up to vent his anger because his friend disliked her?

"Jack, calm down." Li Muge kept backing away: "Besides, you can't beat me."

Shao Junhao acted like an idiot: "Li Muge, why would I hit you? Come on, I'll take you out to eat today, so you don't make it seem like I can't live without him."

"Didn't you want some peace and quiet? I'll grant your wish. Come on, Li Muge, I'll treat you to a good meal today."

Shao Junhao, feigning a carefree and unrestrained demeanor, dragged Li Muge directly to the best restaurant in the demon city.

Then……

"Stop drinking, Jack! My God, what are you doing? Didn't you bring me here to eat? Why are you drinking all the time?"

Li Muge was practically the first to be beaten.

Shao Junhao hugged the wine jar and grinned foolishly: "It's not that I'm being disliked, it's just that they don't want to take me with them when they go out to play."

Li Muge frowned: "Going out to play? Who wants to go out? Where are we going?"

She looked around warily. Only restaurants in the Demon Market dared to open now, as the area was a melting pot of all sorts of people.

Li Muge could sense that many of the customers who came to eat here were eyeing them.

That idiot Shao Junhao is still drinking.

If she weren't here, this idiot would probably be sold out and still be counting money for the seller.

"Who? Of course, it's that bastard Wu Qingyi. Li Muge, you don't know, these past few days I've been unable to sleep or eat properly because of Wu Qingyi's illness, but what happened?"

Shao Junhao, still clutching the wine jar, fell off the stool and onto the ground, but he couldn't bear to let go.

With tears streaming down her face, she accused Wu Qingyi of being heartless to Li Muge.

"Damn it, after that bastard was cured of the poison, he wanted to leave me alone and go out, saying he wanted to see more beautiful scenery and complained that I was too noisy."

Heartbroken, Shao Junhao immediately started singing.

"Friends for life, those days are gone."

"A single sentence lasts a lifetime, a love that transcends life."

Li Muge was getting a headache just looking at Shao Junhao, who was so drunk he was practically a limp rag. In order to help Shao Junhao up, she could only agree with what he said.

"Wu Qingyi is a complete scoundrel," Shao Junhao shouted, his breath reeking of alcohol, making Li Muge want to vomit.

"Yes, he's a piece of trash."

"Jack, fine, get up right now! He's a piece of trash, why are you torturing me?"

Li Muge finally managed to help him up, but she didn't expect the weight on her shoulders to suddenly lighten. She subconsciously turned around and found that Shao Junhao was already being supported by Wu Qingyi.

Wu Qingyi said expressionlessly, "Thank you, but I'll take this drunkard home."

Li Muge was speechless and could only watch helplessly as Shao Junhao was carried back by Wu Qingyi.

Shao Junhao was still cursing and swearing. Wu Qingyi had already walked quite a distance, but Li Muge could still hear Shao Junhao cursing Wu Qingyi as a cold-blooded monster and a heartless black-hearted bastard.

Li Muge sighed.

This is what friendship truly is.

Just as she was about to turn and leave, the waiter suddenly stopped her: "Miss, you have to settle your bill before you leave."

Li Muge nodded, then reached into his sleeve and fumbled around for a moment.

Her expression froze instantly.

Oh no, she didn't bring any money.

She also didn't expect that Shao Junhao, who said he would treat her, would not pay the bill.

Li Muge was so angry she could grind her teeth, as if she could understand why Wu Qingyi wanted to leave Shao Junhao behind and go on a trip.

She's so clueless, she doesn't want to take care of her either.

"Miss, please settle the bill." The waiter's expression changed drastically when he saw Li Muge fumbling in her purse for a long time without producing a single coin.

This young lady is incredibly audacious; she even dared to dine and dash in the Demon Market.

"I'm so sorry, sir, I forgot to bring my money. How about this, could you let me go home to get my money pouch, or I can stay here and you can send someone to my house to get the money?"

Li Muge looked embarrassed.

But to everyone's surprise, the waiter's human skin fell off the next second, revealing a face with blue skin and fangs.

The inn door slammed shut with a loud bang.
