Xue Chenjing sat on the edge of the bed, his nostrils filled with the fragrance of Yu Yi left in the bedding.

This time, Yu Yi left without saying goodbye, which made him even angrier than the previous times when she tried to escape from him. Anger made his head swell.

He didn't understand.

Yu Yi had clearly promised him, hadn't her favorability increased to 12%? Although that was due to the damn Xue Mingyuan. But yesterday, they were obviously getting along well.

Xue Chenjing thought about whether he had done anything to make her angry, and in the end, he could only think of the string of candied haws. But she clearly agreed to let him throw it away.

He sat in Yu Yi's room at a loss for a while, and suddenly thought of the bird in the other room. He stood up suddenly, rushed out with a gloomy face, and kicked open the door of Senior Brother He's room.

When he saw the red-crowned crane lying on the bed with its wings spread out, drooling in sleep, the anger in his heart finally subsided, and the messy thoughts in his mind also dissipated, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Senior Brother He was still there, and Yu Yi did not run away.

Even if she wanted to abandon him, she would not abandon Senior Brother He.

The noise of kicking the door attracted the waiter of the inn, but he failed to wake up Senior Brother He. Xue Chenjing calmed down, took out two silver coins and threw them into Xiaoer's heart, one for paying for the gate repairs, and one for him to prepare some food and send it up.

After instructing the waiter, Xue Chenjing strode into the house, grabbed the red-crowned crane by its slender neck and shook it, "Stupid bird, wake up, where is your master?"

Senior Brother Crane squeaked twice in a daze, still hugging its sword spirit in his sleep.

Xue Chenjing couldn't wake it up, and reached out to grab the feathers on its chest and wanted to pluck them, but then he remembered that Yu Yi had bought so many feather care items for it yesterday. If she knew that he had plucked the bird's feathers, her favorability towards him would definitely decrease again.

He gritted his teeth and held back. He got up and went out to call Xiaoer, and took out another silver coin to instruct him.

About a cup of tea later, two waiters each brought up a large tray with four or five plates of freshly steamed lake fish neatly placed on it.

Xue Chenjing took his breakfast from another tray and asked the waiter to pull the table to the bedside, put the plates of steamed fish on it, and fanned the bird on the bed.

He sat at the table by the window, holding a bowl of Tremella and Snow Pear Soup in his hand, and ate it slowly.

Before the second spoonful entered his mouth, the red-crowned crane on the bed woke up.

As soon as Brother Crane opened his eyes, he saw so many plates of steamed fish placed in front of him. He thought he was dreaming, so he stretched his neck to pick them up in a daze. After swallowing two fish in a row, he finally woke up.

Senior Brother He jumped up from the bed with joy and lay directly on the dining table.

After completing their task, the two waiters came to ask the master of Xianhe for reward money. Xue Chenjing generously took out the silver and told them: "Make another portion of the snacks I want and put them in the lunch box. I want to take it away."

The waiter agreed repeatedly and was about to leave when he was stopped by someone. Xue Chenjing put down the soup bowl in his hand with disdain, "This sweet soup is too bland. I'll put more honey in the next serving. If it's not sweet, I'll smash your store."

The waiter didn't dare to offend such a generous customer, and said quickly, "Yes, yes, I will ask the chef to put more honey, definitely more!"

Not long after, the waiter came back upstairs and brought the prepared food box. He also gave Xue Chenjing an extra bowl of re-cooked Tremella and Pear Soup and asked him to try it. If he was not satisfied, he could redo it.

The Tremella Soup was added with enough honey, and the soup bottom was golden. Xue Chenjing took a sip and nodded.

The waiter then retreated with a sense of relief.

At this time, Senior Brother He had almost finished eating all the steamed fish on the table with full fighting power. He tilted his head, looked at the person by the window, and called out twice obediently.

Ever since Xue Chenjing rescued him from the monks of Zhaohua Palace and resolutely entered the ghost realm to find Yu Yi, Senior Brother He accepted this master-husband who appeared out of nowhere.

Now his attitude towards Xue Chenjing has improved a lot, and he no longer wants to nag him secretly.

"Are you full?" Xue Chenjing put down the soup bowl in his hand and said, "Find out where your master is."

Senior Brother He sensed quietly for a moment, the spirit beast pattern on his thin feet lit up slightly, and with a click, he took the initiative to lead the way.

Xue Chenjing picked up the prepared food box on the table and put it into the storage bag, and followed Senior Brother He out the door.

The red-crowned crane came out of the inn, spread its wings and flew away. Xue Chenjing quickly took out his flying carpet and followed. Although Yinzhou City prohibits flying from the sky and entering the city at will, it is allowed to fly at low altitude within the city.

Senior Brother He led him to the most central part of Yinzhou City, and from time to time he would meet some monks who were going in the same direction as them.

There was the largest market in Yinzhou City, divided into three areas: inner and outer. The outermost area was the business district for mortals. There were many merchants and wine houses here. Goods from all corners of the mortal world could be found here. It not only attracted mortals, but also attracted many monks who were interested in the mortal world.

Half a street further in, there is a fusion zone, where both immortal and mortal goods are sold, but most of them sell low-grade elixirs and magical instruments. These things can also be used by mortals, but the prices are high, and most of them are mortals who are either rich or noble.

There is only one building in the center, called Wuzhe Building, and inside it are all transactions between cultivators. It is difficult for mortals to enter.

Senior Brother He landed outside Wuzhe Building. There are twenty screen walls surrounding the building, all of which are passages in and out of Wuzhe Building.

There are no carvings on the screen walls, and it looks like an ordinary wall with a lantern hanging on the wall.

Xue Chenjing knew the rules of Wuzhelou. He jumped off the flying carpet, waved his sleeves to retract the carpet, took out two spiritual stones from his arms and placed them under the lantern. The spiritual stones immediately turned into spiritual energy and flowed into the lantern.

A red light lit up in the lantern. Xue Chenjing reached back and grabbed the red-crowned crane that was looking under the lantern, grabbed its neck and dragged it into the screen wall.

Behind the screen wall was a dim room, which was equipped with props to conceal one's true appearance, masks, robes or disguise pills. In short, there were a wide variety of them, and one could choose at will.

Of course, if one was confident in one's own strength and did not worry about being remembered by others, one could also enter with one's true appearance.

Xue Chenjing glanced at the red-crowned crane and took out a shape-shifting pill from the many options. Senior Brother He was unwilling to eat, and when he was quacking, he quickly flicked his finger and shot the pill, which drew an arc and accurately shot into the throat of the red-crowned crane.

The red-crowned crane, which was about the same height as a human, shrank with a bang and fell to the ground. This time, the cry it made was a real duck cry. @無限好文，盡在晉江文學城

Senior Brother He heard his own cry and suddenly closed his mouth, tears welling up in his little eyes. It had become ugly and its cry had become unpleasant. It was no longer worthy of the noble and beautiful sword spirit, sob.

Xue Chenjing pulled a black robe off the shelf and put it on himself, picked up the sulking duck, and strode out of the door.

Wuzhe Tower is named "Wuzhe", but in fact, most of the monks who enter here are in disguise. It is called "Tower", but inside it is an independent small world, with carved beams and painted buildings, flying pavilions and flowing red.

All kinds of strange things are walking on the street, and there are even scarecrows with candied haws and reeds stuck on their bodies, selling them on the street.

What is wrapped in the sugar coating is naturally not an ordinary hawthorn, but a spiritual fruit.

But Xue Chenjing still felt sour when he saw Tanghu Lu. He raised his hand and pinched Senior Brother He's buttocks and asked, "Where is she?"

Senior Brother He was so angry that he ignored him. Xue Chenjing threatened him, "I spent a lot of spiritual stones to redeem you. If you don't cooperate, I will sell you here."

Senior Brother He succumbed to his tyranny and reluctantly stretched out his ugly flat mouth to show him the way.

Xue Chenjing walked around under the guidance of Senior Brother He and finally found Yu Yi outside a store specializing in selling various magic tools. She also made a disguise and wore a fox mask.

Now she has a pair of fluffy fox ears on her head and a big white fluffy tail hanging behind her.

The fox mask fits softly on her face, making her originally round eyes narrow and upturned. The tails of her eyes are painted with golden demon patterns, and the corners of her mouth are dotted with crimson rouge, making her look seductive.

There are even fluffy balls on her ears, making her look like a fluffy white fox spirit.

When Xue Chenjing saw her, Yu Yi was holding her fox tail and stroking it.

His eyes stayed on the fox tail for a moment, thinking in his heart, it seems that she really likes this kind of fluffy thing, and his slippery tentacles are completely useless on her. @無限好文，盡在晉江文学城 As soon as Senior

Brother He saw her, he immediately rushed out of Xue Chenjing's arms, quacking all the way into her arms, which scared Yu Yi.

If it weren't for the sense of the spirit beast contract on Senior Brother He, Yu Yi almost thought it was a wild duck that ran from somewhere.

"Why did you become like this?" Yu Yi held Senior Brother He back and forth and pinched its flat mouth for fun, "Then I have to call you Senior Brother Duck."

Senior Brother He pecked her finger angrily, stretched out his wings and pointed at the culprit in an accusing manner.

Yu Yi looked in the direction its wings were pointing, and saw a man in a black robe. She turned her eyes around, and instead of calling his real name here, she asked directly, "Why are you here?"

Xue Chenjing sat down next to her, lifted his hood, and had a metal mask on his face that concealed his true features, revealing only a pair of dark eyes and the lower half of his face. He said in a muffled voice, "I thought you'd left me again."

Yu Yi: "..." He spoke as if she was a scumbag.

Yu Yi knew that he was pretending to be pitiful again, and she didn't react at all. She just said, "I came here to sell a few swords."

Xue Chenjing asked, "Are you sold out?"

"Not yet." Yu Yi raised his chin and gestured to the magic weapon shop opposite, "I don't know much about the market conditions, and it would be too conspicuous for one person to sell so many high-quality spiritual swords, so I entrusted it to this shop to sell them on my behalf, and we split the profits 20% to 80% of the selling price."

"Then aren't you afraid that this is a black shop and they'll target you?" Xue Chenjing turned to look at the shop, his eyes full of suspicion. He always assumed the worst of everyone except himself.

Because there are no good people in this world, but the evil people have their own evil ways, far beyond what he could imagine.

"Of course I have also inquired about it." Yu Yi touched Senior Brother Ya's head, "I changed several different identities and entrusted several stores. This store specializes in weapons, so I put three swords in it."

Yu Yi had already planned it in her mind. She had a total of nine useless spiritual swords, and she sold them in five stores under different identities, and settled the spiritual stones at the closing time.

Then she took the spiritual stones to the weapon refinery to rent a furnace and re-temper her green bamboo sword.

Because of the opening of the Sword Stone some time ago, there are many more spirit swords flowing into the market. In fact, these spirit swords of hers are not particularly eye-catching. It’s just that she has top-grade spirit swords, so Yu Yi went through so much trouble to consign them to several stores for safety.

Although the sword market is not particularly good because there are many spirit swords flowing out recently, these swords are all hers to take advantage of, so Yu Yi doesn’t feel bad.

The spirit stones exchanged for these swords are enough for her and Senior Brother He to have a good time for a while.

Although Yu Yi came out earlier, he only walked around the first floor of Wuzhe Tower. Even if he wanted to buy something, he didn't have any spiritual stones in his pocket at the moment, so he was very unhappy. He simply found a place to sit and rest, waiting for the market to end so that he could settle the money for selling the sword. There

were many monks walking on the street, all of them pretending to be strange. The sky in Wuzhe Tower was always dark, regardless of day or night. Countless colorful lights were hung on the treetops and eaves, illuminating everywhere.

Layers of embroidered pavilions were stacked up, and in the lights they looked like bricks of gold and jade. When the colorful lights of Wuzhe Tower went out, it meant that the market was over.

Xue Chenjing stared at the glass lantern hanging on the door of the weapon shop opposite for a while, and his gaze slowly shifted to the person next to him. After leaving the Xue family, he almost never had such an opportunity to sit side by side with others like this.

He was always running away, running around, cheating, and approaching others with countless fabricated identities to achieve his goals.

From the beginning, the people he deliberately approached saw the false him, and he would not really take anyone to heart, so when he betrayed them, he had no burden in his heart.

But Yu Yi knew his true face, and his defenses were as thick as a city wall, impeccable, so that he could not find a place to start.

It was the first time they sat together so calmly and idly.

The two of them were thinking about their own thoughts and did not speak for a while. But perhaps it was because the lights around were too bright, the light and shadows were charming, and the atmosphere was not awkward.

When Xue Chenjing's mind was gradually emptying, a familiar noisy sound suddenly rang in his ears.

For him, the system was simply worrying about him like an old mother, reminding him: "Master, are you just sitting there in such a good atmosphere? Didn't you bring some snacks for the heroine? Take them out!"

The sudden voice of the system startled both of them. Yu Yi reacted quickly and accidentally pinched Senior Brother He's butt, which made it cry in dissatisfaction. The man and the duck started to fight to cover up their unnatural body reactions due to fright.

Xue Chenjing also looked frightened, and angrily scolded the system in his heart: "Are you annoyed? Don't startle me."

System: "..." Okay, I'll take your kindness for granted. It's a divine weapon, so it has dignity, right?

The system stopped talking. Xue Chenjing glanced at Yu Yi and took out a lunch box from the storage bag. "You went out so early. I guess you didn't have a good breakfast, so I brought you some food."

Yu Yi pretended to be surprised. Her eyes moved back and forth between the lunch box and Xue Chenjing's face, which was half covered by a mask. She reached out to take the lunch box. "Thank you."

She opened the lunch box. There were two layers of grids. The top layer contained a bowl of Tremella and Snow Pear Soup, and the bottom layer contained three plates of cakes and snacks. The small bowl of Tremella Soup was still hot to the touch.

Yu Yi actually ordered Tremella Soup and buns at the inn when she went out in the morning. However, she had visited many places in the morning and was indeed a little hungry at this moment.

She shared some of the cakes with Senior Brother He, who was drooling, and took a bite of the Tremella Soup, squinting her eyes at the sweetness.

@無限好文，盡在晉江文學城

This bowl of Tremella Soup was much sweeter than what she had eaten in the morning, and a lot of honey was added.

The sweet taste of honey spread on the tip of her tongue. Yu Yi did not dislike this excessive sweetness. On the contrary, she liked to eat sweets. Therefore, this bowl of soup actually suits her taste.

The few days in the Yunshan hut were not wasted. Xue Chenjing at least figured out a little about her favorite taste. He thought hard for a long time last night, but he couldn't find any other way for the time being, so he could only use food to please her.

Seeing that Yu Yi was quite satisfied with the food, Xue Chenjing smiled slightly and asked the system in his heart, "Is there any fluctuation in the favorability?"

The system remained silent.

The host wants to increase his favorability by sending a box of ready-made food from the inn. What kind of nonsense is he thinking?

After asking this question, Xue Chenjing realized that his question was a bit stupid. If Yu Yi's favorability could be increased so easily, he wouldn't have to worry about it and couldn't sleep last night.

But he changed his mind and remembered that her favorability towards Xue Mingyuan could increase so quickly. The arc at the corner of his mouth just turned down again, and he felt unhappy again.

His emotional ups and downs were too exposed. Even with the black robe covering his body, Yu Yi could feel the aura of the people around him, who were sometimes happy and sometimes depressed.

While she was eating the Tremella soup, she was enjoying Xue Chenjing's change of expression with interest, wondering what kind of temporary mission he had brought to her, and trying every means to get what kind of response from her.

Unexpectedly, until she finished eating the cake and Tremella soup, and took them around to walk around to digest the food, Xue Chenjing was very obedient and did not make trouble.

Even his system was unusually quiet.

At dinner time, Xue Chenjing invited her and Senior Brother He to have dinner at the famous restaurant in Wuzhe Building, which made Yu Yi wonder if the temporary mission issued by the system this time was that Xue Chenjing could get one reward point for every penny he spent on her.

Just like before, as long as she touched him, he could get points.

Xue Chenjing ordered dishes very actively, and the dishes served basically suited her and Senior Brother He's tastes.

If you think about it carefully, they only spent a few short days together in Yunshan, but he had figured out her tastes so clearly.

Yu Yi couldn't help but become alert, and calmly reminded herself in her heart that the man in front of her was a devil who could change his face as quickly as turning over a book, and she had to be on guard against his sugar-coated bullets at all times.

Xue Chenjing was completely unaware of this, and was very satisfied with his performance today.

When the market was over, Yu Yi changed her identities several times and went into the shops to settle the spirit stones. She came out of Wuzha Tower with the heavy spirit stones she got from selling the sword, and took off her disguises.

Yu Yi was quite nostalgic for the mask that could transform into fox ears and tail, but if she wanted to buy such a mask specifically, it would cost a lot of spirit stones.

She thought about her Green Bamboo Sword that needed to be upgraded urgently, and resisted the desire to waste spirit stones.

Xue Chenjing noticed her expression and wanted to buy a few masks for her, but he suddenly thought of something and finally took back the step that was about to be taken.

The two of them and the crane left Wuzha Tower and walked into Yinzhou City where the lights were just coming on.

The monks' market in Wuzhe Building was over, but the night market for ordinary people outside was just opening. The streets were crowded with people, and the goods on sale were far more varied than the practical spiritual tools and spiritual objects sold in Wuzhe Building.

Yu Yi only took a few more glances at a velvet hairpin on display at a stall, and Xue Chenjing quickly paid for it and reached out to pick up a finely crafted iris-tail velvet hairpin from the stall.

It was the one she had been staring at the longest.

Xue Chenjing raised his hand and moved the hairpin to her bun. The indigo-colored iris tail velvet made her hair look as black as ink and her skin as white as snow. The bright color of the velvet was a perfect match for her beautiful features.

Xue Chenjing praised sincerely, "It looks good."

His eyes were illuminated by the surrounding lights. Because of the height difference, he lowered his head and stared at her. At a close distance, Yu Yi could see her own reflection in his eyes.

"It looks good." Xue Chenjing repeated it unconsciously and said softly, "Master, can I put it on you?"

For a moment, Yu Yi was also infected by the amazing look in his eyes and nodded subconsciously.

At this moment, a shout suddenly came between them. The voice was clear and pleasant, with a hint of joy: "Miss Yu Yi, is that you?"

Yu Yi turned her head, and Senior Brother He also poked his head out from beside Yu Yi and looked towards the source of the voice.

Then they saw a group of three people walking towards them.

The first one was wearing white clothes and a crown, with a dignified bearing. Under the light, his eyebrows and facial features were deep and handsome. He had a magic sword on his waist. Just looking at his aura, he was different from the mortals around him.

It was Pei Jingchao.

He walked up to her quickly, his pair of tender and affectionate eyes fixed on her face, and smiled gently, "My name is Pei Jingchao. I don't know if you still remember that you saved my life five years ago. After I recovered from my injury, I immediately went to the mountain hut to find you, but you had already left."

"Since then I have been looking for you everywhere, trying to find a chance to repay you for saving my life."

The system, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly came to life and sounded an alarm in Xue Chenjing's mind, "Here he comes, the original wife is here with the 'life-saving grace'! Master, if you don't try harder, he will repay you with his body!"

Xue Chenjing's temples were throbbing with pain from the noise, his eyelashes drooped slightly, and he glanced up and down at Pei Jingchao, not thinking he was much of a threat.

However, Pei Jingchao's sudden appearance still made him feel uncomfortable.

Without waiting for Yu Yi to speak, he raised his hand to pinch her chin, turned her face back to him, lowered his head closer to her, and said, "Master, don't listen to the barking of wild dogs outside. If you move again, my hairpin will be crooked."

Yu Yi: "..." Do you want to grit your teeth a little more? Xue Chenjing's tone didn't sound like he wanted to give her flowers, but wanted to stab her in the back.

Xue Chenjing smiled and looked at her intently. He carefully inserted the iris-tail velvet hairpin in his hand into her bun, adjusted the velvet petals, and pressed the center of the flower stamen decorated with pearls.

"Okay." Xue Chenjing put down his hands with satisfaction, picked up a small mirror from the stall and showed it to her, "Master, I said it looks good."

Yu Yi caught a glimpse of Pei Jingchao's expression that instantly froze in the reflection of the mirror, but it was only for a moment, and he smiled again, looked at Yu Yi in the mirror, and said, "Miss Yu is naturally beautiful, with a pretty face. She doesn't need such a bright hairpin to embellish her. She is still stunningly beautiful."

Xue Chenjing turned his head and glared at her. He glanced at her, turned his wrist slightly, shifted the mirror angle, and snorted, "You talk so nicely, I don't know how many people you've barked at, Master, it's too noisy here, let's go back quickly."

Yu Yi could no longer see Pei Jingchao in the mirror, but she could feel the undercurrent between them. She was sandwiched between the two male protagonists, one was the former male protagonist Long Aotian who wandered among the flowers, and the other was the current male protagonist who was a monster with a mental disorder.

At this moment, she only had four words in her mind, how unlucky.
