Nie You looked on, wanting to reach out and pull her, but then his mind raced, and he dodged away.

Then Mo Yunlan fell to the ground with a thud.

Nie You: "Miss Mo, please return to your residence."

Princess Ning'an covered her eyes, unable to look. This... was truly astounding.

Fu Liu shook her head and sighed, as if it were a common occurrence.

Mo Yunlan stood up angrily from the ground, tears still welling up in her eyes, and glared at Nie You furiously.

She puffed out her cheeks and stormed off in a huff.

Nie You followed closely behind and explained, "Miss Mo, men and women should not touch each other. I'm doing this for your sake."

Mo Yunlan roared angrily, "What the hell are you thinking? He's already crashed into me so many times..."

Nie You: "Miss Mo bumped into a sword."

"Go to hell!" Mo Yunlan was so angry she almost cried.

Go back and get a big cleaver, then kill him.

Nie You followed up: "If I die, there will be no one to take Miss Mo home."

“I have Little Red, you don’t need to send it to me. Also, Little Red will bite him.”

After calling out, there was no response. Mo Yunlan turned around but didn't see Xiao Hong's shadow, nor did she follow.

She was about to cry from anger.

She puffed out her cheeks, her eyes reddened, tears welling up in her eyes, and then she sped up.

She was so angry with Nie You!

Nie You, holding his sword, followed closely behind: "Miss Mo, don't be angry. Tomorrow I'll stew red date and pigeon soup for you, and I'll also gouge out two fish eyes."

Mo Yunlan wanted to cry, but also wanted to laugh: "Get out!"

Nie You pondered for a moment, "Then the four fish eyes?"

Eat more fish eyes, and you won't bump into him next time.

Mo Yunlan: "Get lost!"

Nie You pondered for a moment, then said, "I'll make lotus seed and white fungus soup. This can help with weight loss, so I won't add fish eyes."

This... should be satisfactory now, right?

Mo Yunlan stopped, turned around and roared at him like a shrew, "Get out! Get out! Get out!"

Nie You looked at her sincerely, "Miss Mo has lost weight, so I won't dodge next time, and I can handle it."

After all, his back still ached from being pressed down by her last time.

Mo Yunlan looked into his sincere eyes and heard him speak such sincere words.

Really...

He was so angry he wanted to kill someone, but then he felt... he still wanted to kill someone.

Go back, grab a machete, and then chop him up.

She fumed and left without saying a word.

Nie You was right behind her, about three steps away.

It maintains distance while also providing protection.

Under the cover of night, people walk about, vendors hawk their wares, and the scene is bustling and lively.

They walked one after the other without exchanging words, quietly separating themselves from the bustling and lively world into a small, secluded realm.

...

Meanwhile, Mo Yunzhao and Ling Jingyu arrived at Tongxin Lake.

Qinxin Lake is a place where men seek pleasure, while Tongxin Lake is a place where lovers come together.

Today is the Flower Festival, and men are giving flowers while women are giving fruit, which inadvertently brings together many people.

Therefore, Tongxin Lake is also bustling at this time, with small boats floating on the lake.

Lanterns with burning candles floated on the lake.

And there are those carefully nurtured lotus flowers that have blossomed.

The beautiful scenery, along with the men and women boating on the lake, created an atmosphere that was both ambiguous and wonderful.

Ling Jingyu poured wine from a jug, the orange candlelight behind him casting a soft glow on him.

Mo Yunzhao looked at him and felt that his face, which was somewhat blurred in the candlelight, was indistinct, seemingly clear yet indistinct.

In a daze, his face and his body merged with the man digging through the ruins with his bare hands.

"Is it you?" she asked softly, staring at him.
