Chapter 428 Sister, I am a woman with a story
When he saw that Ye Xiaoman was safe and sound, even Jiaying, who was more introverted, couldn't help but smile faintly.
After Yue Mushan entered the village, in order not to cause a commotion among mortals, he wrapped a floral scarf of Ye Xiaoman on his head to cover his cat ears.
He happily pulled off his floral scarf, his two cat ears stood up happily, and he took Ye Xiaoman's hand.
"Sister, I was so nervous when I was trying to break the formation. I kept thinking what would happen if I failed and was killed by the backlash, and I would never see you again."
"...It's okay. As long as I can see you, all the worries and fears are worth it."
Ye Xiaoman said calmly: "Yeah."
Jiaying lowered his eyes in disdain.
Yue Mushan was weak and useless. Although he helped a little in the research of the magic circle, he was the biggest contributor to the break-in.
When he was still weak after his body mutated, he consumed a lot of spiritual energy and tried his best to open the cage. Yue Mushan took advantage of his help and was able to meet Ye Xiaoman.
When Yue Mushan asked Ye Xiaoman for credit, he only emphasized his own insignificant sacrifice and did not mention his contribution at all.
Jiaying was too lazy to expose Yue Mushan's true identity.
He simply took out his scarred snow-white snake tail from under his clothes and placed it under Ye Xiaoman's eyes.
Unfortunately, Ye Xiaoman had no time to care about other things.
She didn't like the surprise Yue Mushan and Jiaying gave her at all.
She is now wholeheartedly flirting with Zhu Chuideng. Now that the two of them have arrived, the four of them are squeezed into a small space. Considering Jiaying's sensitivity and Yue Mushan's clinginess, how should she use her tactics?
Her first thought was how to get rid of these two cheap men.
Yue Mushan waited a long time for Ye Xiaoman's response, but he didn't get it. He asked doubtfully, "Sister, are you not happy to see me?"
Ye Xiaoman forced a smile and said, "I was just too surprised. I couldn't react for a while."
Jiaying's tail was close to Ye Xiaoman's embroidered shoes. "Why are you here?"
He looked at the Zhu family farmhouse in front of him. When Yue Mushan knocked on the door, he had already released his spiritual sense to scan the surroundings and sensed the presence of two adult men hiding in the house.
Why did Ye Xiaoman live with them?
Ye Xiaoman couldn't find a reason to drive the two away.
She could only move forward one step at a time. Seeing the villagers passing by looking at Yue Mushan's cat ears with suspicion and fear, she gave Jiaying a look that said "let's talk about it later" and welcomed the two into the house first.
At the beginning of the day, Zhu Chuideng did not get up early as usual to farm or participate in building fortifications to defend the village against monsters. He probably had not yet recovered from the blow of yesterday and did not know how to face Ye Xiaoman. He got up very late today and stayed in the woodshed until noon.
Jing Zhui was sleeping.
There was no one in the yard, so it was a great space for conversation.
Ye Xiaoman set up a shielding array to prevent outsiders from hearing what she was saying.
"Amu, please step aside for a moment. I want to talk to Master Jiaying about something."
Upon hearing this, Yue Mushan obediently moved away and walked a few steps away, facing the firewood piled high against the wall, with his back to them. Only the demon's sensitive animal ears turned towards them.
Ye Xiaoman must deal with Jiaying first.
Yue Mushan had met Jing Zhui. Under Ye Xiaoman's deception, he knew that Jing Zhui was her employer, and she was temporarily helping Jing Zhui.
She decided to synchronize the same information to Jiaying.
"It's a long story, so I'll cut to the chase. Jiaying, I came to the ghost world this time because I received a commission from a client to help him find something."
Jiaying suddenly interrupted her, "You talked to me about business as soon as you saw me, don't you miss me?"
"After you disappeared, I thought about you day and night, counting the time, every quarter of an hour, every twenty-four hours. Every day felt like a year."
Ye Xiaoman: "..." What about stealing as agreed? Don't make passionate confessions in front of Yue Mushan every day!
Her back began to sweat, and when she caught a glimpse of Yue Mushan's cat ears out of the corner of her eye, they immediately straightened up.
"Of course I miss my good friends..."
She looked at Jiaying with affectionate eyes, slightly emphasizing the key word "good friend" to steady Yue Mushan, while moving her body to block Yue Mushan's sight.
Then, with imperceptible movements, she quietly took Jiaying's hand and scratched his palm affectionately with her fingernails to convey her unspeakable love.
Sure enough, as long as she coaxed him a little, Jiaying's face immediately looked much better.
Ye Xiaoman said softly, "I know you've worked hard to find me. You risked your lives to save me. I can't thank you enough."
"It's not that I'm heartless to ask you to talk as soon as we meet, but the trouble I'm in this time is too serious to take care of other things."
Ye Xiaoman didn't have Mo Ji and directly revealed the local secrets to Jiaying.
"The family heirloom my client has entrusted me to find is hidden in the ghost master's memories."
"And here is the ghost master's memory."
Jiaying was a little surprised after hearing this.
Indeed, anything that can be guarded by ancient monsters is definitely not an ordinary thing.
But he didn't expect to face the resentment of the Ghost Lord head-on.
If Master Liaochen encounters the ghost lord, he will die and everything is reasonable.
Although Jiaying is jealous, once Ye Xiaoman's safety is involved, he immediately stands on her side and considers her.
"Why did you accept such a dangerous commission?"
Ye Xiaoman was inspired and spoke without hesitation.
She started her conversation based on the person in front of her, making up stories and saying, "I once owed a huge debt to an old friend."
"I once promised someone that I would take him to a distant land, free him from his cage, and give him a happy life. Therefore, I needed a lot of money, and this money was a huge burden for me."
"But I still borrowed money for him. The interest on the debt compounded and weighed down my frail shoulders."
"So, I need to work extra hard to pay off my debts."
Ye Xiaoman had a melancholy look in her eyes, a nostalgic smile on her lips, and her expression was gentle and helpless.
The listeners of the story can't help but think divergently and think a few more steps.
What kind of person is the other person? What position does he hold in Ye Xiaoman's heart? What have they experienced together that makes Ye Xiaoman willing to give everything for him?
She is so devoted to him... What is the relationship between her and him?
Jiaying's heart trembled slightly, "Where is he?"
He couldn't help asking, "He left the debt to you, so where is he?"
Ye Xiaoman shook her head and said nothing more.
"He forgot me."
Jiaying's tone was a little hurried: "Why?"
Ye Xiaoman still chuckled and shook her head. She seemed to have been numbed by the cruelty of the world, but she was still kind and did not blame the person who had let her down.
"It's all in the past, let's not talk about it anymore."
Jiaying suddenly asked, "Does that person know me?"
