"Oh ho, you're talking back now?"

Mingyue beat Ayue up again until Ayue couldn't take it anymore and begged for mercy in tears. Only then did she let go of Ayue. "Remember this, I don't have that much energy to teach you or reform you. Since you want to follow me, you'd better behave yourself."

Ah Yue huffed and puffed twice, her life was so dark and hopeless, sob sob sob...

778 let out a gurgling sound; this was the first time it had so directly sensed its host's fighting prowess.

[Host, who is she?]

It was both amnesiac and a guardian, leaving it completely bewildered.

"A troublesome person you can't get rid of."

Mingyue munched on barbecue-flavored potato chips from 778's private stash. Although she had lost her memory, it didn't stop her from feeling the connection between herself and Ayue.

It was a strange thing that her death brought A-Yue back to life...

It wasn't until dark that A-Yue got up from the ground. Her injuries from the beating had mostly healed, and A-Yue's white teeth were clenched so tightly they made a cracking sound.

If she can't beat Mingyue, can't she beat anyone else?

She flashed to Green Mountain Peak and went straight to Su Xue'er's courtyard. "You lied to me!"

Su Xue'er was startled. Hearing the familiar voice, she breathed a sigh of relief. "It's you! You can turn into a human now, that's wonderful!"

A-Yue narrowed her eyes, a cold glint in them. "You lied to me. I'm taking back my power."

Reverting the time freeze?

How can this be?

Su Xue'er smiled calmly and poured water for A Yue. "I didn't lie to you. You said that seeing you meant you were the chosen one, and I did see you."

A-Yue remained silent, but her expression was still displeased.

Su Xue'er's lips curled slightly. Children will be children; all their emotions are written on their faces. She handed the tea in her hand to A Yue, "Did someone say something?"

"I won't drink anything from you humans."

A-Yue raised her hand and knocked over the teacup, but her eyes were secretly observing Su Xue'er.

Su Xue'er showed no sign of anger; instead, she smiled and poured herself another glass.

A-Yue was even angrier. This was how a guardian should act! How dare Mingyue hit her?!

"Ugh, who do you think you are that I need to explain myself?"

Su Xue'er never expected A Yue to explode so suddenly. She took a few steps back and silently used her time-stopping ability.

"You actually used my abilities against me? How naive."

Ah Yue, looking impatient, raised her hand and withdrew the power from Su Xue'er.

"You gave it to me, so why can you just take it back like that?!"

Su Xue'er's eyes were bloodshot. She clearly felt her belongings being taken away, but why?

She didn't lie to her. She clearly said that she was a lucky person, and now she's saying that she lied to people. When did she lie?

She also wanted to ask if there was something wrong with the time-stop function, as it had malfunctioned several times!

"Oh."

A-Yue was half a head shorter than Su Xue'er, but her disdainful and arrogant demeanor still overwhelmed Su Xue'er.

Su Xue'er watched helplessly as A Yue's figure disappeared, and in her anger, she overturned the table.

The sound of teaware shattering on the floor drew Song Qin from next door. She gently knocked on the door and asked with concern, "Senior Sister Su, what's wrong?"

"It's alright."

Su Xue'er replied coldly.

Song Qin withdrew her hand from outside the door. "Then, Senior Sister Su, get some rest."

Su Xue'er hummed in agreement, and Song Qin hesitated for a moment before leaving.

Senior Sister Su is more capable than her; nothing will happen to her.

Half a month later, the group going to the Red Fox Forest was finalized. Mingyue and Xie Si each led five people and gathered near the Red Fox Forest.
