"Will the mountain spirit appear if the bell is rung?"
Wu Yue asked, puzzled. The white fox refuted her, "She might not appear. But hearing the bell will at least draw the mountain spirit's attention to us, especially since you have two handsome young men with you—very tempting..."
For some reason, everyone else thought that what the white fox meant by "tempting" was that it was delicious and could be eaten.
Wu Yue was losing patience: "This method is unreliable. Let's use force."
"Wait, wait a bit longer." The fox claw pressed down on the girl's restless hand. "If you damage this place, there might not be any way to salvage it..."
Wu Yue held back.
The group waited for another half hour.
Not to mention mountain spirits and deities, not even a bird could be seen.
Wu Yue was already preparing to draw her fifty-meter-long sword.
The white fox quickly said, "Please calm down. Maybe the mountain spirit is busy, or maybe she just woke up. Let's—ah!"
It was halfway through its sentence when it suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "She's here! She's here! My esteemed guests, look, that's the Mountain Spirit!"
The girl arrived riding a red leopard, with a graceful tabby dog beside her.
Every smile and frown was full of charm; her bright eyes and white teeth, her clever smile were captivating.
As she approached, the surrounding mist slowly dissipated, and the subjects of the honor guard consciously stepped aside to the sides upon encountering their revered ruler.
The girl had long, smooth brown hair, as gentle as water. The morning glow tinged it with a faint crimson-orange hue, making her look like a lady stepping out of a painting.
Wu Yue suddenly felt that it would be nice for the Mountain Ghost God to be her sister-in-law.
Good looks, talent, and a vast mountain range. Such a well-matched union, especially with both of them having long lifespans, makes... the more you think about it, the more suitable it seems.
[Witch God, wake up! That's your own brother!]
[Hahaha, the Witch God is always pairing up characters!]
Noticing that everyone's eyes were on him, the Mountain Ghost smiled slightly, his expression ethereal: "Greetings, guest from afar."
The moment their eyes met, Wu Yue couldn't help but pause in surprise.
...a familiar feeling.
She hadn't felt this way in the peach grove, but now, perhaps because she was closer, or perhaps because the mountain spirit was releasing its aura without reservation, she had a strange feeling that she hadn't seen it in a long time.
The white fox spoke first, her expression and tone respectful: "Aruo greets the Mountain Spirit God."
The mountain spirit's attention was clearly not on the white fox; her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly as she quietly watched Wu Yue.
After about ten seconds, she suddenly curled her lips into a playful smile: "...Looking for that handsome young man? He was naughty, so I've already punished him on the spot."
"..."
Wu Yue paused, momentarily stunned, "You two? You've already made it a done deal?"
As she spoke, she felt somewhat ashamed: "Although he is an adult, he is still young. You should fatten him up first."
Yan Chiyu: "?"
Wait, are we using the same script?
[Please have Sister Yan cooperate with the witch god's performance]
[Yan Ge's expression: How did the plot develop like this? This is so hard, I haven't even memorized the script yet.gif]
[Her facial expressions are rich and nuanced, conveying emotion! And she's beautiful!]
The mountain spirit laughed twice upon hearing Wu Yue's reply. "My solution was that he refused to marry me, oh, to take my place. I'm not the kind of god who forces people to do things against their will, so I threw him down the mountain. Didn't you see his body? I wonder if he was eaten by wolves or wild dogs."
If it weren't for the scent of the void's life force, Wu Yue would have almost believed her.
The fact that the mountain spirits could joke with them meant there was room for conversation and discussion. Wu Yue, not one to be stingy, smiled and replied, "I think this is a special kind of fate. Why don't you invite us in for a cup of tea?"
