As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Shuchen felt a chill, which made his spine feel cold for no reason.

Yi Ci stopped in her tracks, turned her head and gave him a cold glance, saying in a deep voice, "If I want to hit you, no one can stop me."

Yuan Shuchen: "..."

See, you're getting anxious, aren't you?

If she's so timid when she likes someone, who knows, that little girl Jiang Yuetong might get snatched away by some other rascal in the future.

Let's see who he complains to then. Besides, he wouldn't be happy if he really got together with Jiang Yuetong.

At that time, the three states would be unbalanced.

Yuan Shuchen snapped out of his thoughts and said with a wry smile, "Oh, I was just joking."

...

Jiang Yuetong was still secretly gathering spiritual power from time to time, but unfortunately she never succeeded.

When she saw Yi Ci and Yuan Shuchen appear before her, Jiang Yuetong frowned slightly.

These two actually came too.

Could it be that you also want to contract with the Water Kirin?

Jiang Yuetong glanced at them only once before shifting her gaze to the water unicorn, her indifferent attitude as if she didn't know them at all.

Yi Ci: "..."

Yuan Shuchen: "..."

"Alas, it's a pity that my handsome face can't even get a glance from the young lady."

Yuan Shuchen, dressed in a red brocade robe, walked over with a smile on his lips and continued, "Miss, are you trying to be the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes fell on them.

His gaze has changed from ignoring her to looking at her like she's an enemy.

After all, there is only one Water Kirin, and which sect or family wouldn't want to take it? Here, everyone is an enemy.

Jiang Yuetong's red lips curved slightly: "Likewise, you came too?"

“I’m different. I came here with him.” As she spoke, Yuan Shuchen looked up at the person next to her.

Yi Ci, dressed in a blue long robe, walked over and stood beside Jiang Yuetong, remaining silent.

Jiang Yuetong glanced at it indifferently and ignored it.

Jiang Xinyao, who was standing at the back watching the commotion, called out sweetly when she saw the two of them coming over: "Uncle Yi Ci, Brother Chen."

Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Yuetong raised her hand and slapped her on the head, frowning slightly as she said, "Who taught you to call me that?"

In the past, whenever she saw Yuan Shuchen, she would call him Uncle Chen.

Brother Chen, what does that mean?

Jiang Xinyao looked bewildered and pointed directly at Yuan Shuchen: "Uncle Chen said he's still young and should be called brother."

Jiang Yuetong: "..."

Young my foot!

Yuan Shuchen and Yi Ci are both several hundred years older than them, so calling them "uncle" is already too young.

Yuan Shuchen chuckled dryly twice, as if he hadn't seen her, and walked over to Jiang Xinyao, looking quite surprised.

"Oh dear, Yao Yao is here too?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xinyao glanced cautiously at Jiang Yuetong and saw that her expression had darkened slightly.

Jiang Xinyao was so frightened that she dared not utter another sound.

Seeing this, Yuan Shuchen understood everything.

He couldn't help but laugh.

Looking at Jiang Xinyao's cowardly appearance, he clicked his tongue twice and said, "I'm so impressed with you, I can't even stand up for you!"

Jiang Xinyao: "..."

Brother, please stop talking!

...

Time passed, and night fell.

Jiang Yuetong was still trying to gather spiritual power when she heard Jiang Xinyao's stomach rumble.

Only then did she realize that she hadn't had time to eat the barbecue at noon.

She has reached a level of cultivation where she no longer needs to eat, but Jiang Xinyao and the others are not yet at that level.

Jiang Yuetong stopped what she was doing and secretly checked the space, only to find that there was no more food.
