Shushu never expected that things would turn out so coincidentally. Even though she had traveled thousands of miles away from the tiger's den and reached the other side of the mountains, she still managed to encounter Hei Wanran and her guards.
Fortunately, both she and Yukisuke had changed their appearances. Yukisuke had even changed his gender, becoming a man.
Even the Yaoguang Cauldron and the Wentian Seal were transformed into small accessories, which were hung on the necklace that Shushu wore around his neck.
Therefore, when Hei Wanran stopped him, Shushu was somewhat surprised but not flustered. He asked calmly, "Fellow Daoist, what brings you here?"
Hei Wanran probably didn't expect Shushu to be so calm. A look of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she raised her head high and pointed at the light blue hair ribbon on Shushu's head.
"I am Hei Wanran, and I have my eye on the headband on your head."
She paused, pulled a red hairband from her spatial storage, and held it up in front of Shushu.
"Here, don't say I'm stingy. I'll trade this to you. This is a sixth-grade magic weapon that can withstand a blow from a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. Trading it for your hairband is definitely not a bad deal."
Then he mumbled something in a very low voice, but Shushu didn't hear it.
Looking at Hei Wanran, who was still as proud as a little peacock but had lost her fierceness, Shushu was genuinely surprised this time and turned his gaze to the red hair ribbon in her hand.
Just as Hei Wanran said, her headband was a sixth-grade magical artifact, while the one she wore on her head was just an ordinary headband, without spiritual power or magic power; it was just a plain headband.
It was something Shushu bought casually when he was shopping with his third senior sister, Tutu, and the others back in the Rainy Continent.
There was nothing she could do; since all magical artifacts contained some spiritual power, she dared not wear them casually in the Demon Realm. So she could only pull out a hairband without any spiritual power and put it on, otherwise she couldn't just let her hair down.
And most importantly, the longer Shushu stared at the red hairband in Hei Wanran's hand, the more a voice in her heart told her: Take it off, you must take it off.
She didn't know why the sound came from, but her intuition told her that the red hairband was related to Mo Xin stealing her to the Demon Realm.
Therefore, after thinking for only a few breaths, Shushu looked up, took off the headband, and exchanged it with Hei Wanran.
Upon receiving the red hairband, the strange feeling in his heart intensified, and Shushu did not choose to wear it.
Instead, she subconsciously took out the insulating jade box and put the hairband inside.
She wasn't sure if she was seeing things, but just before she was about to close the jade box, she seemed to see the red hair move slightly, as if it wanted to leave the jade box open.
But when the yam looked at it again, it had returned to its motionless state. The yam examined it carefully but couldn't see anything wrong.
For a moment, Shushu was also a little confused, unable to confirm whether what he had just experienced was an illusion.
After thinking it over, just to be on the safe side, she took out several binding and isolation talismans from the storage ring given to her by Mo Xin and stuck them all on.
Only after sealing the box tightly, leaving no gaps, did he breathe a sigh of relief and place it separately in a storage ring, instead of putting it into his own space.
What Shushu didn't know was that the moment she completely sealed the hairband, Qu Ruxue, who was still outside the tiger's den, suddenly froze, and then a shadow of gloom and ruthlessness flashed in her eyes.
Immediately afterwards, she made up a random excuse to send Zang Wenxing away, and then hurriedly walked into the cave.
At the same time, Mo Xin, who was still deep in the Azure Demon Realm, seemed to sense something. His eyes snapped open, and the next moment, his figure vanished from the spot.
Just as Shushu put the jade box down, she looked up and met two curious gazes. The gazes belonged to Hei Wanran and her guard, respectively.
Clearly, neither of them understood what she had just done, but they were also quite tactful and didn't ask Shushu.
Shushu had no intention of explaining to them. Since she didn't ask, Shushu naturally wouldn't say anything more. She calmly took out a hairband from her space and fixed her hair again.
Seeing Hei Wanran's gaze fall on her hairband again, Shushu thought for a moment and felt that it would be a shame not to take advantage of such a fat sheep that was offered to her.
So, after thinking for a moment, Shushu waved her little hand and took out a bunch of strange little things that she had bought in the Spirit Realm Market before, which had no spiritual power, and spread them out on the ground.
In an instant, Shushu saw Hei Wanran's eyes light up, and in a flash, she darted into the pile of trinkets, looking left and right, jumping up and down.
Before long, she picked out a whole bunch of things and came to the millet, her eyes sparkling as she indicated that she wanted them, and then took out a pile of what she felt was a fair reward.
From the fact that she could exchange a level 6 red headband for her own light blue headband, Shushu knew that she was someone who didn't lack resources, and she was somewhat prepared.
However, when he saw the other party take out a bunch of magic talismans, pills, and array plates, Shushu was still a little surprised.
But it was only for a moment before Shushu accepted the things, and under Hei Wanran's still somewhat reluctant gaze, she put away the ones that Hei Wanran had left behind.
Just as she was hesitating whether to say goodbye, the black-clad guard opposite her spoke up: "Young Miss, we should go back."
He said this to Hei Wanran, who frowned subconsciously upon hearing it, then sighed helplessly as if she remembered something, and tossed a token to Shushu.
"This is the token of my Hei family. If you come to Fenggu City, remember to come to the Hei family to find me."
Hei Wanran didn't explicitly say what she wanted from her, but considering the other party's previous extravagant spending, it was probably just because she had her eye on those little trinkets.
Therefore, Shushu did not hesitate and nodded, agreeing, "Okay."
Then, Hei Wanran and her guards tore open a teleportation talisman in front of Shushu and left.
Before leaving, Hei Wanran looked back at Shushu and smiled brightly, completely devoid of her previous arrogance and unreasonable behavior.
It was this smile that made Shushu realize that the current Hei Wanran was the real Hei Wanran.
Looking back, it seemed that the moment he took the red hairband, Hei Wanran's aura changed, and Shushu became more and more certain that there was something wrong with the red hairband.
Unfortunately, most of the treasure-hunting rats are from the cultivation world, and their inherited memories mainly contain information about the cultivation world. They don't have much knowledge or common sense about the demon realm in their inherited memories.
Right now, she's practically clueless.
After thinking it over, Shushu, still confused, decided to find a place to contact Moxin and ask him to come and see what was going on.
Thinking of this, Shushu scanned the surroundings with his divine sense and quickly found a hidden cave nearby.
She had just stepped inside and set up layers of formations, and was about to contact Mo Xin, when Mo Xin appeared before her.
