Half an hour.
One hour.
Two hours.
Three hours.
Li Muge felt that her patience had reached its limit: "Changyan, have you finished drawing yet? If I had time to dawdle like you, I could have created a human. You haven't even finished drawing a picture yet."
As she spoke, she couldn't resist wanting to see.
As a result, Changyan protected his picture, saying, "Ye Luo, don't look at it. If you look at it, I'll get nervous, and when I get nervous, I'll have trouble breathing and I'll faint."
Changyan closed his eyes, intending to faint naturally, when a chill suddenly appeared on his neck.
Li Muge placed his sword directly against Chang Yan's neck.
"Are you still dizzy?" Li Muge asked coldly.
"I'm not dizzy anymore." Changyan shakily took out his diagram, which Li Muge glanced at expressionlessly.
"Very well, Changyan, you've messed with me. Today I'll show you whether I'm as easy to fool as you think."
Li Muge raised his sword, intending to slit Chang Yan's throat.
Chang Yan grabbed Li Muge's sword with his hand, blood dripping from his hand, but he showed no sign of pain.
Instead, taking advantage of Li Muge's momentary daze, they cast a spell to trap Li Muge.
"Changyan, what are you planning to do?" Li Muge was unable to move and secretly regretted that he had been tricked by a young punk.
"What are you doing!" Chang Yan leisurely took out a rope and tied it around Li Muge's wrist, then tied the other end of the rope to his own hand.
"This is called the Immortal Binding Rope. It's incredibly strong; even a fire sword can't break it. Ye Luo, now you can't shake me off, can you?"
Li Muge's expression was gloomy.
"Speak, what exactly do you want?"
“That’s how it is.” Chang Yan walked to Li Muge’s side, lifted Li Muge’s chin, and said in a slightly hoarse voice.
"My zither is broken, and I want to find someone to repair it, but the only place that can repair zithers is in the Red Mansion. I need you to help me find one."
Li Muge's eyes twitched slightly: "No, what kind of broken zither is this that's so important? And if you're going to fix the zither, fine, but why are you tying me up? Isn't that a bit mean?"
Changyan honestly replied, "Because I don't think I can beat them, but with Miss Yelu by my side, you're sure you can."
"You little brat, you're definitely going to die." Li Muge said with a half-smile, "Kid, don't let me find an opportunity, or I'll definitely kill you."
"Don't worry, Miss Ye Luo, I won't let you have a chance." Chang Yan pursed his lips and released Li Muge.
"I'll teach you a lesson today." As soon as Li Muge was free, she planned to take action against Chang Yan. But just as she was about to cast a spell on Chang Yan, her arm felt like it was being pricked by thousands of needles.
"What's going on?" Li Muge asked, puzzled.
Changyan raised an eyebrow smugly: "Miss Ye, I've already cast a spell on this Immortal Binding Rope. As long as we're bound together, you'll never be able to harm me."
"Have you no shame?" Li Muge had barely finished speaking when Chang Yan suddenly pinched her cheeks: "I think you're the one who's shameless!"
Li Muge's eyes flickered: "What did you say? I don't understand a word of it!"
"Come on, aren't we going to find Miss Honglou to fix your zither?" Li Muge kept walking forward, unable to resist hitting her forehead hard with her unbound wrist. This time she had really gotten herself into trouble. This demon named Changyan was really troublesome.
"By the way, Changyan, let me see your broken zither." Li Muge stopped in her tracks, turned around abruptly, and bumped into Changyan's chest.
"Excuse me, by the way, let me take a look at your piano, maybe I can fix it."
"Alright, I'll show you." Changyan made a hand seal, and a sandalwood zither appeared in his hand.
A lifelike golden phoenix is carved next to the zither.
"It's so beautiful!" Li Muge exclaimed eagerly, "If you don't mind, may I play it for a bit?"
"Play it." Changyan said indifferently, "Anyway, only my destined one can play the zither and make the strings make a sound."
Li Muge focused her attention on the strings. She placed her fingers on the strings and plucked them, and a clear, melodious sound immediately rang out.
"This, how is this possible? This is impossible!"
Changyan looked on incredulously.
"Huh, what are you talking about?" Li Muge asked, puzzled. What's the big deal about playing the piano?
"How is this possible, Ye Luo? How could you play this instrument?" Chang Yan seemed very agitated. He ran to Li Muge's side, grabbed Li Muge's arm, and shook it vigorously.
"What are you doing? What's the difference between your instrument and others?" Li Muge placed the instrument on the strings and plucked it a few more times. "Besides, I'm not a three-year-old. What's so great about being able to play an instrument? Don't make a fuss."
Li Muge was puzzled.
Actually, Changyan's zither is of the highest quality.
It's just a pity that two strings are missing.
Changyan said there was a demon in the Red Chamber who could help repair the zither. Li Muge was curious about how Changyan could get the demon to repair the broken zither.
Just as Li Muge was about to voice her question, Chang Yan looked at her with a critical eye, as if he had been hurt.
Then he sat dejectedly on the steps.
Head bowed: "How could it be you?"
"Why can't it be me?" Li Muge thought Chang Yan was sulking because she played his precious zither.
"Is it really that serious? I didn't realize you were so stingy, Changyan." Li Muge rolled her eyes.
"Sigh, you don't understand. Never mind, let's go to the Red Chamber."
Changyan ran extremely fast, as if a ghost was chasing him, and Li Muge was so exhausted from running that he was drenched in sweat.
Inside the Red Building.
It was almost dawn at the Red Mansion, and there were only a few guests left.
"What kind of monster are you looking for?" Li Muge observed the Red Mansion for a long time but found nothing special.
Changyan smiled and said, "Just follow me."
Li Muge was skeptical.
To her surprise, there was a cave hidden beneath the Red Mansion.
Changyan dug out the tunnel.
The first one to jump.
Li Muge had no choice; she was unwilling to be dragged down.
To Li Muge's surprise, the tunnel did not hide any evil demon, but a young girl who was being held captive.
Moreover, the girl had a pair of eyes in the middle of her forehead.
"Heterochromatic eyes." Li Muge hadn't expected that a race with heterochromatic eyes existed in ancient times.
“You recognize me!” Hei Tong sighed. “Two guests, you’ve come from afar and haven’t eaten yet. Would you like some food?”
Chang Yan raised his head: "No..."
"Sure, when is dinner served?" Li Muge couldn't wait and ran to get the food.
She placed the lunchbox on the table and then moved the table closer to the woman with heterochromia: "Okay, let's eat."
The woman with heterochromia was wearing shackles on her hands and feet.
She picked up a bowl of rice and ate with extremely delicate manners, like a kitten eating.
Li Muge ate very gently, but her eating speed was several times faster than Hei Tong's.
Chang Yan glanced at Li Muge a few times, comparing her to the woman with heterochromia, thinking to himself that being able to eat was a blessing, and that Li Muge was indeed his destined one.
It seems pretty good.
