Seeing Hei Wanran being stopped by the newcomer, Shushu felt a little disappointed. He pouted, turned around and called Xuejie. Just as he was about to leave, he was blocked again.
The person who stopped her was none other than Hei Wanran, who had just been hitting someone.
Hei Wanran saw Shushu look up at her and give her a big smile: "You came to see me?"
Shushu was momentarily stunned by the smile, feeling that Hei Wanran seemed to have undergone a complete transformation, radiating brilliance. After a moment of bewilderment, Shushu nodded: "Yes."
The next moment, her vision was blocked, and she was enveloped in a soft embrace—it was Hei Wanran giving her a big bear hug.
Shushu was a little confused. Although she didn't feel the same disgust as when she faced Qu Ruxue, she was still somewhat uncomfortable.
After a slight struggle, Hei Wanran let go and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I just got too excited when I saw you."
As for what made them excited, Hei Wanran didn't say it explicitly, but Shushu understood. They exchanged a glance and smiled knowingly.
One person is laughing at themselves for making a fortune, while the other is happy to finally get their hands on the rare and exotic item they've been longing for.
To Qu Ruxue, who had been hiding to the side with her neck hunched over ever since Hei Muran appeared, this scene seemed to show that the two were indeed on good terms, and that it was all a happy accident.
Qu Ruxue probably knew that now was no longer a good time to use platitudes.
He glanced at Hei Muran, who was still arguing with the elders of the Zang family, then gave a deep look at Shushu and Hei Wanran beside Shushu, before leaving with a gloomy expression.
Seeing her like this, Shushu knew that Qu Ruxue was definitely plotting something bad again. He was wary, but he didn't say anything at this moment.
However, Hei Wanran, who was beside her, rolled her eyes at Qu Ruxue's departing figure and turned to Shushu to warn, "She's not a good person. Stay away from her."
How could Shushu not know that Qu Ruxue was not a good person? He nodded and was about to speak when he was suddenly interrupted: "Little sister, is this your friend?"
It turned out that Hei Muran had already sent away the elders of the Zang family. Now that she had arrived, she stood next to Hei Wanran, looking at her with a probing gaze.
When Shushu met his probing gaze, she didn't feel guilty and greeted him naturally, "Hello, senior."
Hei Muran possessed the cultivation level of a split-spirit, while Shushu was merely an out-of-body cultivator; thus, addressing him as "senior" was not incorrect.
However, Hei Wanran disagreed: "No need to call him senior. He's my brother. If you call him senior, we'll be from different generations. Just call him by his name. His name is Hei Muran."
At this point, Hei Wanran realized that she didn't know Shushu's name, and looked at Shushu somewhat awkwardly: "What's your name again?"
Shushu also remembered this, paused for a moment, and decided to use her master's surname: "My name is Liuyun."
Hei Wanran was instantly delighted: "So your name is Liuyun, that's a beautiful name."
Millet: "Yours..."
Actually, Shushu originally wanted to say, "Your name is nice too," but the moment she uttered the first two words, she thought of her previous experience praising the encyclopedia.
Thinking of her ears, which were practically calloused, Shushu reached out and rubbed them uncomfortably, then immediately shut up, afraid that she might have triggered some terrible switch and started nagging again.
Hei Wanran had no idea what Shushu was thinking. Seeing her rubbing her ears, she thought something was wrong, so she leaned over to take a look and asked curiously, "What's wrong with your ears?"
What could Shushu say? He could only quickly put his hand down and vaguely reply, "I'm fine."
Fortunately, Hei Wanran wasn't completely oblivious to people's expressions. Seeing Shushu's reaction, she didn't press the matter further. Instead, she turned to Hei Muran beside her and asked, "Brother, what did the Zang family say?"
Upon hearing the mention of the Zang family, Hei Muran immediately showed a look of disgust: "What else can I say? It's all the same no matter how you look at it, so..."
After a pause, Hei Muran glanced at the people on the street and finally said, "Forget it, this isn't the place to talk. Take your friend and let's go home first."
Hei Wanran agreed, "Okay." Then she turned to Shushu and Xuejie, "Liuyun, let's go."
So, Shushu was led by the Hei siblings, followed by a group of Hei family guards, and swaggered through Fenggu City to the Hei family mansion.
With Hei Muran and Hei Wanran present, Shushu and Xuejie entered the Hei family home with almost no resistance.
Hei Wanran even arranged for Shushu to stay in a guest room in her own courtyard, while Xuejie was taken away by Hei Muran.
The reason is very simple: Yukisuke's current appearance is that of a man.
Even though the Demon Realm doesn't strictly adhere to the separation of men and women, how could Hei Muran possibly allow a man from outside the family to live in his sister's courtyard? Naturally, he would make separate arrangements.
Shushu accepted this well, but Xuejie was very reluctant to leave, and kept looking back at Shushu before leaving.
The little glutton looked at the glutton with a furrowed brow. Finally, feeling uneasy, he tossed the Heavenly Inquiry Seal into its hand, telling it to listen to the Heavenly Inquiry Seal if anything happened. Only then did he feel a little more at ease.
Then, after seeing Xuejie off, she turned around and met Hei Wanran's slightly disdainful gaze: "Liuyun, how come your brother is even more clingy than mine?" It was obvious who she was disdainful of.
Shushu paused, unsure how to respond.
Fortunately, Hei Wanran was just making a rant and didn't really expect Shushu to answer. She quickly moved on from the topic and led Shushu inside while introducing the place to him.
Perhaps because she felt that Shushu, like herself, had a clingy older brother, she spoke with less restraint and concealment.
As for why she mistakenly thought Yukisuke was Yamcha's brother, it's because Yukisuke gave himself the name Ryuyuki when he was introduced to her on the way.
Given his current appearance and attire, it's immediately obvious that he's bigger than a potato, so Hei Wanran subconsciously assumed that they were siblings, with Xue Jie being the older brother.
As for Shushu, who had come to investigate the situation, he naturally wouldn't interrupt Hei Wanran's introduction once she started.
She would even occasionally chime in with a word or two, which made Hei Wanran speak even more enthusiastically, and she was able to get a lot of useful information from it.
For example, the current city lord of Fenggu City is her father; for example, they are actually direct descendants of the Hei family of Shanghai, and the reason they are in Fenggu City is because of the rotation system.
For example, in a few days, her father's shift will be over, and they will have to go back to Shanghai, just in time for the once-every-fifty-years family competition in the Azure Demon Realm.
This family competition is similar to the power ranking competition in the Yulin Continent back then. Both are about status and the allocation of resources, and the Qu family and the Zang family will also participate.
Therefore, when Hei Wanran asked Shushu if she wanted to go to Shanghai with her, Shushu agreed without much hesitation.
It just so happens that Mo Xin's itinerary also includes a trip to Shanghai.
