Chapter 148 So, have I opened your eyes yet?
Mu Jianjian watched the two of them exchanging polite words, and after giving instructions to Linghu Zhuoyu, she took Sang Wanyue's arm and returned to the courtyard to rest.
Once they reached the courtyard, she first pulled Sang Wanyue into the room, and after washing up, she nimbly climbed onto the bed and patted the empty space next to her bed.
"Huh? Jianjian?" Compared to Mu Jianjian's casualness, Sang Wanyue seemed a little awkward standing in the room.
"Is someone still cleaning your yard? Why don't you sit on the bed for a while?" Mu Jianjian was very excited. Even though the night was getting deeper, her eyes were wide open like saucers, like a night owl. "I can tell you about a lot of things that have happened recently."
She felt it was perfectly normal for best friends to chat under the same blanket in bed, and even dreamed of her past life when she and her best friend Tang Ruan shared an apartment and chatted late at night about their bosses.
After hearing this, Sang Wanyue stiffly took a few steps and sat down on the bed next to the girl.
The strange experiences she had in both her lives combined were not as many as those she had experienced while being by Mu Jianjian's side.
"Hehehe," Mu Jianjian leaned over to Sang Wanyue and poked the bluish-red bun on her head, thinking it was a hair tie or an ornament. "Yueyue, the fur on your ornament looks so realistic, just like the real thing!"
"I love plush toys!" exclaimed Mu Jianjian.
“It’s true.” Sang Wanyue said softly. As the “green and red dumpling” turned around, two black bean-like eyes appeared, curiously looking at the unfamiliar girl. “I found an egg in the secret realm before, and it recently hatched into a bird.”
"Chirp chirp chirp~" The little green and red dumpling chirped and chattered, expressing its protest.
It's not a bird! It's an ancient mythical beast!
"So cute!" Mu Jianjian's heart melted at the sight of the fluffy little bird. "I wonder what kind of bird this is..."
She gently touched the little blue-red bird until it stood upright in her palm, only then realizing that the bird had only one leg.
"Ah...you only have one leg? It's okay, we'll definitely protect you," Mu Jianjian clenched her fists, her voice firm, "Even with only one leg, you must—"
Sang Wanyue finally couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted, "Jianjian, it's actually an egg left behind by an ancient divine beast."
"An ancient mythical beast?" Many possibilities suddenly flashed through Mu Jianjian's mind. "Phoenix! Are you a phoenix?!"
As expected of Yueyue, she's using the classic fantasy novel tropes! Starting with an egg, the world is at her disposal!
"No, it's a Bifang." Sang Wanyue looked at the Bifang, which was powerless to resist in the girl's hand and had completely wilted. "Let's name it Huohuo."
Bifang!
It is a mythical creature from ancient times that resembles a crane, standing on one leg, with a red body and blue feathers.
After Mu Jianjian put Huohuo back on Yueyue's shoulder, she suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Why do all the main characters now have a monster?
The second male lead, Zhong Chuan, has a white wolf by his side. Yu Yu has been taking care of Xiao Hua since she was a child. Ye Xuanzhi, that goofball, carries a white dumpling that swallows gold every day. Now Yueyue has the divine beast Bifang!
A new form of infighting has emerged among the main characters!
"How about I go and kidnap one in the future? Or steal an egg?" Mu Jianjian discussed with the system.
Mu tries hard to fit in with the main characters, Jianjian.
It's possible, but unnecessary.
Putting the idea of stealing the eggs out of her mind, Mu Jianjian finally became serious and began to talk to Sang Wanyue about what she had encountered on her journey after leaving the secret realm.
Selectively skipping over the parts about Ye Xuanzhi, she spoke very seriously with Yueyue about the Upper Realm.
"...It is extremely important. If the potions they left here are not completely eliminated, cultivators will be affected by 'life force' for a long time."
Mu Jianjian bit her lip and spoke more and more urgently, but finally calmed down under Sang Wanyue's gentle gaze.
"It's alright, Jianjian, I know. Don't worry, I'm here." She comforted her with a smile. "When we returned to Xuanshuang Sect, Father Mu told me about these things. Although the consequences were serious, we discovered them in time, didn't we? It's not too late to go and do something now."
Sang Wanyue's patience always reaches its maximum when she's with Mu Jianjian.
Actually, the pressure on Mu Jianjian during this period was really immense. Although she laughed and joked on the surface, she would get emotional late at night, afraid that something might go wrong.
Because of the original book, Mu Jianjian understands Sang Wanyue very well from her perspective. In addition, the two faced Cai Chu together in the secret realm, and Mu Jianjian found that she could easily show her vulnerable side in front of her.
After all, the two are related by blood.
Mu Jianjian chatted with Sang Wanyue for a long time, and finally watched her leave with reluctance, nodding her head.
"Since I handled things perfectly today, I'll reward myself by sleeping all night instead of cultivating."
The system sighed helplessly, "I've never seen a cultivator who still wants to sleep after starting to cultivate."
Mu Jianjian raised an eyebrow, "So, have I opened your eyes yet?"
system:……
