Lao Wang's face turned pale and he shouted into the phone:
"Nannan! Nannan!"
Jiang Muyao closed her eyes and calculated, saying lightly:
"Don't worry, she's fine."
Ten minutes later, Lao Wang's phone rang again.
Xiaomei's crying voice came:
"Dad! That pine tree suddenly fell down just now. If that aunt hadn't told me to leave... I would definitely have been in trouble.
I also saw a snake on that tree. If I was crushed by the tree and the snake bit me again..."
Lao Wang's hand holding the phone was shaking. He turned to look at Jiang Muyao, his eyes full of gratitude:
"Madam, I..."
"Let's drive," Jiang Muyao leaned back in her seat.
Pei Linyuan put down the documents, looked at her thoughtfully, and asked:
"You just said go east..."
"The east is the Zhen position, which represents life, and the pine tree is the gate of death."
The car started again and Lao Wang glanced at Jiang Muyao in the rearview mirror.
Suddenly remembering something, he asked:
"Madam, how do you know my daughter's name is Xiaomei?"
"I calculated it."
*
The car drove into the Pei family's old house, but Pei Linyuan did not get out immediately.
He turned his head to look at Jiang Muyao who was resting with her eyes closed, his eyes deep:
"Jiang Muyao."
Jiang Muyao opened her eyes and met his gaze:
"Um?"
"Thank you so much for saving Lao Wang's family and us as well."
[If it weren't for the fact that the purple energy on you is helpful to my cultivation, I wouldn't bother with these trivial matters.
And I was in the car too, I couldn’t just watch myself get into an accident.
Although she had thought at that time that if Lao Wang still didn't listen, she would definitely force Pei Linyuan to jump out of the car.
Pei Linyuan's eyes flickered slightly, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
"It's just a small favor."
Pei Linyuan looked at her thoughtfully, "When did you learn how to read faces and tell fortunes?"
"Always," Jiang Muyao said calmly, "but before..."
She paused: "I don't want to use it."
[The troublemaker before wouldn't have known this, but I can't say this out loud. If he finds out I'm not the original owner, I'll be in trouble.]
Pei Linyuan's eyes flickered slightly.
He recalled the voices he had heard in the hospital, "The first genius in metaphysics" and "Good at metaphysics, and understands yin and yang."
And there was the "ghost thing" she solved for the third brother.
The woman in front of him was definitely not the "Jiang Muyao" from before.
"Could you," he leaned closer, the crisp scent of cedar surrounding her, "help me take a look?"
Jiang Muyao shrank back reflexively: "What are you looking at?"
"Look at me, how long can I live?"
[It’s over, it’s over. Could this guy have discovered something?
But judging by his facial expression, the Fortune-stealing Curse has already begun to slowly interfere with him. If we don't save him now, it will be too late.]
Jiang Muyao raised her eyes to meet his gaze: "Why...why do you ask?"
"Didn't you figure it all out at the hospital? Didn't you say I dreamt I was trapped in a sea of blood?"
[This curse is very vicious. Not only will it rob people of their luck, but it will also cause them to exhaust their energy in nightmares.]
"Three months. If you can't find a solution, you only have three months at most."
"Then are you willing to help me?"
[Of course I will help you. After all, your purple energy will be very beneficial to my cultivation.
And I must save you before I can divorce you, but I can't say this out loud.]
"Am I not helping you already?"
Pei Linyuan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "Then why not..." He paused.
"Shall we make a deal?"
[Deal? Does this guy want me to sign some unequal treaty?]
Pei Linyuan looked at Jiang Muyao's slightly flickering eyes, and the smile on his lips became even deeper:
"Madam, do you seem very interested in the 'transaction'?"
Jiang Muyao coughed lightly and pretended to be calm: "That depends on what kind of deal Mr. Pei wants to discuss."
Please don’t let it be some weird agreement!
Although this guy is indeed good-looking and has a great body, I am a serious practitioner of the Xuanmen sect!
I won’t be easily seduced by beauty! 】
Pei Linyuan's eyes flashed with a smile, and he said slowly:
"It's very simple. You help me break the curse, and I'll help you..." He deliberately dragged out his words.
[Help me with what? Could he be helping me cultivate? No, no, he doesn't know I need Purple Qi...]
"Help you solve the problem of cultivation." Pei Linyuan finally finished speaking.
Jiang Muyao's heart skipped a beat: "Practice?"
"I know you need purple energy," Pei Linyuan said with a deep gaze, "and I happen to have it."
[What?! How did he know I needed Purple Qi? Could he hear my thoughts?]
Impossible, I clearly...】
Jiang Muyao suppressed her shock and asked, "What does Mr. Pei mean?"
"Literally," Pei Linyuan tapped the armrest of the chair with his slender fingers.
"From the moment you kissed me in the hospital, I guessed I had what you needed.
I can provide the purple energy you need, but there is a condition."
[Conditions? Are you asking me to sign a contract to sell myself?]
"What conditions?" Jiang Muyao asked warily.
"Before the curse is lifted," Pei Linyuan leaned closer, and the clear cedar scent surrounded her.
"As Mrs. Pei, you need to help me deal with some... troubles."
[Trouble? Could it be those beautiful women? However, with his conditions, he should have quite a few suitors.
Wait! Why should I help him avoid romantic opportunities?
