"Why three days later?" Liu Xiaoyuan asked Master Zhou.
Master Zhou said, "Because the stone door of that tomb will open on its own three days later. Otherwise, it would be very difficult for us to find the entrance with our cultivation level."
Liu Xiaoyuan nodded, understanding. It was just the tomb of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and the contents inside weren't of much value. Naturally, cultivators with higher cultivation levels wouldn't be interested in such things.
This is like a child's toy; adults wouldn't play with it.
After receiving Zhou's message, Liu Xiaoyuan said, "Alright, you can go now!"
Master Zhou stood up from the ground, looked at Liu Xiaoyuan and said, "You kept your word. I'm leaving. If we meet again, we'll still be enemies... You... broke your promise..."
Before Master Zhou could finish speaking, he was pierced through the chest by the Flying Cloud Sword. Master Zhou opened his eyes wide, slowly turned his head, and his face was filled with pain and disbelief.
"You...you're not afraid...aren't you afraid of your inner demons..." Master Zhou was completely stunned, never expecting Liu Xiaoyuan to go back on his word.
Liu Xiaoyuan said with a smile, "I did say I would spare you, but I didn't say that Feiyun Sword would spare you. Now it is Feiyun Sword that is killing you, not me. Therefore, I have not broken my promise."
Upon hearing Liu Xiaoyuan's words, Master Zhou was so enraged that he coughed up a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground, motionless and dead.
"Next time you hear someone's oath, listen carefully and don't be so half-hearted," Liu Xiaoyuan said to Master Zhou's corpse.
Then, Liu Xiaoyuan burned Master Zhou's body. Of course, before burning it, Liu Xiaoyuan took the spirit stones from Master Zhou's storage bag.
Then, Liu Xiaoyuan ran upstairs to the room and kicked the door open. Murong Yuyan was startled when she saw that it was Liu Xiaoyuan. She immediately got up from the bed and tried to run over, but found that her hands and feet were tied with rope.
Liu Xiaoyuan immediately went over and untied the ropes binding Murong Yuyan, who then hugged Liu Xiaoyuan and started crying.
She was afraid, afraid that she would never see Liu Xiaoyuan again!
"It's alright, it's alright..." Liu Xiaoyuan gently patted Murong Yuyan's back, carefully comforting her.
Afterwards, Liu Xiaoyuan touched Murong Yuyan's small hand and found that it was indeed cold, without the normal body temperature. This was troublesome; Murong Yuyan might really be as Master Zhou said, not living more than a month.
It seems I'm definitely going to the small hill in the western suburbs of Beijing in three days.
This matter could not be told to Murong Yuyan, otherwise she would be even more worried. Anyone would be extremely haggard upon learning that they only have one month to live.
Liu Xiaoyuan led Murong Yuyan out of the villa. After they left, Xiang Wentian saw them and knew that Master Zhou had gotten into trouble.
"Where is Master Zhou?" Xiang Wentian asked, trembling. He couldn't believe that Master Zhou had gotten into trouble, because Master Zhou was a god-like figure.
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "Your Master Zhou has gone back to his hometown. What happened? If you want to find him, go to his hometown."
Xiang Wentian was confused as to what Liu Xiaoyuan meant by "hometown".
"Gao Taiyu, let's go!" Liu Xiaoyuan ignored Xiang Wentian. A novice at the third level of the Innate Realm was not worth his time.
After driving out of Xiang Wentian's villa, Gao Taiyu asked Liu Xiaoyuan where they were going. Liu Xiaoyuan replied, "To Yuyan's house."
Murong Yuyan is in a bad mood after what happened, and she won't be able to work for a while. She'll need to rest for a few days to recover.
Gao Taiyu knew where Murong Yuyan lived, so he immediately drove there and then drove away.
Liu Xiaoyuan helped Murong Yuyan into the house. After they sat down, Liu Xiaoyuan poured Murong Yuyan a glass of water to calm her down.
After drinking a glass of warm water, Murong Yuyan looked at Liu Xiaoyuan and said, "Xiaoyuan, thank you for saving me, thank you..."
Liu Xiaoyuan said with a smile, "What are you thanking me for? Do we need to say thank you to each other?"
Murong Yuyan held the water glass in both hands, looked at Liu Xiaoyuan for a while, and asked, "Xiaoyuan, what is our relationship?"
Liu Xiaoyuan knew what answer Murong Yuyan wanted to hear, but he couldn't say it outright. Instead, he smiled and said, "Of course, it's the relationship you desire. How about it, are you satisfied with this answer?"
Upon hearing Liu Xiaoyuan's answer, Murong Yuyan rolled her eyes at him and said, "You rascal, I've discovered that you're a bit naughty."
After spending some time with Murong Yuyan, Liu Xiaoyuan said, "It's getting late, you should rest first, I'm going back to the hotel."
Upon learning that Liu Xiaoyuan was leaving, Murong Yuyan immediately said, "You can't leave! I'm scared. Please stay and keep me company, I'm scared!"
Liu Xiaoyuan immediately agreed. Having just experienced something like that, Murong Yuyan must have some psychological trauma. It's understandable that she would be afraid to sleep alone in such a big house at night.
“Okay, then I’ll sleep on the sofa in the living room. Call me anytime if you need anything,” Liu Xiaoyuan said.
"Mmm." Murong Yuyan nodded, then shyly went back to her room to rest.
This was the first time Murong Yuyan had ever taken the initiative to let a boy stay overnight in her house. Just thinking about it made Murong Yuyan's heart pound wildly, as if it were about to jump out of her chest.
Lying on the bed, Murong Yuyan thought about the scene of Liu Xiaoyuan saving her today, and a silly smile appeared on her face. She laughed like a fool on the bed, and when she was happy, she even rolled around on the bed like a child.
Liu Xiaoyuan, who was lying on the living room sofa, quickly fell asleep.
The next day, Liu Xiaoyuan woke up early, stood up from the sofa, stretched, and felt incredibly energetic.
Liu Xiaoyuan was preparing to make breakfast, but when he opened the refrigerator, he found it completely empty except for cold drinks. He then went to the kitchen, which was spotless, clearly indicating that no one had cooked there.
Looks like I'll have to buy breakfast outside again.
However, Murong Yuyan hadn't gotten up yet, so he couldn't go out. If Murong Yuyan woke up and found him missing, she would probably break down or search for him everywhere.
After thinking for a moment, Liu Xiaoyuan decided to leave a large note for Murong Yuyan and stick it on her bedroom door before going out to buy breakfast.
