Mu Wanwan pretended to be uncomfortable and looked away, then cleverly changed the subject, "Senior Brother Lin, didn't we say we were going for a walk? I think it's getting late, why don't we set off now?"
Yun Jing nodded, carrying the little phoenix in his arms, and walked side by side with Mu Wanwan. After walking for a while, Mu Wanwan gradually noticed that Yun Jing seemed somewhat distant towards her, so she inadvertently glanced at the man beside her and tentatively asked,
"Senior Brother Lin, that bird in your hand is quite special. It's the first time I've ever seen a golden-red bird. May I touch it?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Fuyue, who was lying in Yun Jing's arms, immediately became alert. What was Mu Wanwan trying to do?
Could it be that she remembered what happened in the Floating Life Illusion, or did she want to use her to test Yun Jing's true feelings for her?
Yun Jing paused slightly and slowly said, "Fairy Mu, since you like it, how about I give it to you when we go back later?"
Lu Fuyue was startled. What was Yun Jing trying to do?
But it's better this way. It's better for him to be in Mu Wanwan's hands than with Yun Jing. She always felt that Yun Jing seemed a little different after they came out of the Floating Life Illusion.
Mu Wanwan was slightly taken aback, then quickly realized, "Then thank you very much, Senior Brother Lin."
As they walked, they arrived at the night market in Mucheng.
Suddenly, Mu Wanwan inadvertently caught sight of a gray bead on a small stall not far away, and she subconsciously stopped in her tracks.
"Senior Brother Lin, let's go take a look over there."
Yun Jing looked in that direction, and when he saw the familiar bead from his past life, a strange emotion flickered in his eyes.
He had forgotten about this poisonous bead.
In her previous life, Mu Wanwan gave him this poisonous bead as a token of their love, which caused him to suffer from poisoning and demonic energy chaos after he went into seclusion, resulting in a decline in his strength and nearly causing him to die in the secret chamber.
However, Mu Wanwan took advantage of his serious injury and used his trust to steal his companion jade.
Thinking of this, Yun Jing subconsciously touched the jade bamboo pendant hanging around his neck. This jade bamboo pendant was covered by his outer garment, so few people knew that he wore his companion jade pendant around his neck.
Lu Fuyue looked up and saw his movement. In fact, Yun Jing's companion jade was the wooden string she was looking for. However, in her previous life, the wooden string temporarily sealed itself inside his body to save him, so now this companion jade was just an ordinary jade pendant.
Now that she has successfully prevented Yun Jing from falling in love with Mu Wanwan, as long as she takes out the Weak Water Zither and plays it, it will immediately return to its place according to her agreement with the wooden strings.
However, it would be safest to summon the wooden string only after she escapes from Yun Jing's side.
After all, if Yun Jing found out that she had taken the wooden strings, that would be terrible.
Yun Jing and Mu Wanwan walked side by side toward the stall. The stall owner looked up and his eyes lit up immediately. These two were clearly not ordinary people. He had finally met a big fat sheep.
Mu Wanwan slowly squatted down in front of the stall, reached out and picked up the gray bead, "How many spirit stones is this?"
The stall owner said somewhat awkwardly, "Miss, I obtained these beads from an ancient secret realm. There might be some great opportunity inside. If the price is too low, I can't sell them."
Just as Mu Wanwan was about to raise the price, one hundred top-grade spirit stones were thrown in front of the stall owner. "Are these spirit stones enough?"
The stall owner immediately picked up all the spirit stones and excitedly said, "That's enough, that's enough."
Mu Wanwan was somewhat surprised. She picked up the gray bead, stood up, and looked at Yun Jing. "Thank you, Senior Brother Lin."
A surge of people moved, and Yun Jing moved even closer to Mu Wanwan, so that from certain angles it looked as if the two were standing right next to each other.
Suddenly he raised his hand to her face and slowly said, "No need to be polite. Since I made an appointment with Fairy Mu, I should cover these expenses."
Mu Wanwan's expression changed slightly. She subconsciously wanted to avoid him, but she was afraid of arousing Yun Jing's suspicion, so she could only let him do as he pleased.
However, a tall and imposing figure watched this scene coldly from a distance, exuding a chilling aura.
Just as Yun Jing's hand was about to touch Mu Wanwan's cheek, his hand changed direction and gently lifted her loose hair.
"Wooden Fairy, your hair is messy. It would look better if you put it up."
Mu Wanwan's expression stiffened slightly. As expected, it was a lowly demon, devoid of human nature.
That was clearly a strand of hair she had deliberately left behind by her ear.
However, out of Mu Wanwan's sight, Yun Jing smiled provocatively at the man in black not far away.
Lin Han, seeing your beloved woman so intimate with other men must be unbearable.
The man noticed Yun Jing's gaze and instantly realized what was happening—he was doing it on purpose!
A moment later, Yun Jing suddenly spoke up again, "Fairy Mu, it looks like there's a man watching you over there."
Do you know him?
Mu Wanwan was slightly taken aback and subconsciously turned around to look, only to find herself face to face with Immortal Venerable Lin Han.
"Master...Master?"
Upon seeing her beloved, she was overjoyed and immediately lifted her skirt and ran towards him.
Yun Jing watched this scene with a half-smile, then let go and dropped the little phoenix in his arms to the ground. Fortunately, Lu Fuyue reacted in time, thus avoiding a disastrous fall.
"Little Phoenix, I'm in a good mood today, so I won't hold your purpose in staying by my side against it."
"I'm giving you one day to escape from my side. Otherwise, if I catch you again after one day, your fate will be terrible."
"Little Phoenix, good luck. Now I need to go settle accounts with someone."
Lu Fuyue's expression changed instantly; it seemed her identity had been exposed.
Yun Jing is truly cruel. After all, she was the one who saved his life, yet he still wanted to kill her.
She dared not delay any longer, and immediately circulated her spiritual energy, spread her phoenix wings, and flew into the sky.
Yun Jing glanced in the direction Lu Fuyue had left, then chuckled to himself. Things were getting more and more interesting. See you next time, little phoenix.
Then, with a wave of his hand, demonic power poured out, instantly freezing everyone in the entire wooden city. He then walked towards Mu Wanwan's direction.
"Lin Han, long time no see. How did your cultivation regress to such a terrible state?"
Immortal Venerable Lin Han looked at him with cold eyes, "As the ruler of the demon realm, you actually concealed your identity and cultivation level, approaching that of my disciple, Yun Jing. What exactly do you want to do?"
Yun Jing's gaze fell on Mu Wanwan beside him, and he slowly said, "What you want to do, I naturally want to do too. However, your little disciple has quite a few schemes. Originally, I would not have looked down on this kind of person, but she just wants to get close to me."
"It seems the person she likes isn't you, but the real you."
Upon hearing this, Mu Wanwan's expression instantly changed. She tightly gripped Immortal Venerable Lin Han's arm, "Master, it's not like that, I just... I just..."
