Xue Mingyuan raised his hand to touch the mask on his face, and said worriedly: "If I change the mask, will I have to spend more spirit stones?"

He couldn't open Xue Chenjing's storage bag. The spirit stones to get in here were all taken out by Yu Yi.

Yu Yi took out the spirit stones and said, "If you want to exchange it..."

Before she finished her words, Xue Mingyuan waved his hand and said, "It will cost a lot of money to buy the materials for quenching the sword. Don't waste spirit stones on such a small thing."

He took a black robe from the wall and put it on, then put on a hood to cover his rabbit ears. "Is it better this way?"

The hood almost covered half of his face, even his eyes were blocked below. Yu Yi asked, "The scenery in the Unobstructed Building is beautiful. It shouldn't be convenient for you to see it like this."

Xue Mingyuan lifted the brim of his hat a little, blinked and said, "It's okay, I'll watch secretly."

When he lowered his head, the tip of the rabbit ears appeared a little from under the hood. Yu Yi's eyes couldn't help but slide to the long white ears hanging on his cheeks.

Xue Mingyuan lowered his head obediently with a smile in his eyes, "If you want to touch it, do it quickly. You won't have the chance to touch it after we go out."

Yu Yi was moved by what he said, and reached out to carefully touch the tip of the rabbit ear.

The gentle touch on the tip of the rabbit ear turned into an unbearable tingling that penetrated into his ear. Xue Mingyuan's scalp was numb, and he half-closed one eye because of her touch, and his breathing became rapid. Yu Yi felt his breath on his wrist and quickly retracted his hand.

Xue Mingyuan was embarrassed by his unexpected reaction. His red eyes seemed to get even redder. He whispered, "I didn't expect that these illusionary ears could still feel something. Sorry."

"Rabbit ears are sensitive." Yu Yi stroked his wrist and laughed, "Why are you always apologizing?"

Xue Mingyuan stuffed the rabbit ears back into his hood. He also realized that he seemed to apologize often. He smiled helplessly and said politely, "I was afraid of offending the girl."

He and Xue Chenjing were really different. Xue Chenjing would not apologize even if he stepped on your face, unless you were profitable to him. He knelt down quickly and had no moral integrity at all.

If it was Xue Chenjing, for the sake of goodwill, he would have shamelessly stuffed his ears into her palms, and might even blush and hum while deliberately asking her temptingly, "Master, do you want to touch the tail? The tail is also very nice to touch. Do you want to touch it?"

It is amazing that two completely opposite personalities coexist in one body.

Yu Yi stared at Xue Mingyuan's face and thought of Xue Chenjing. She was startled and shook her head, throwing Xue Chenjing out of her mind. She turned around and put on a black robe, and the two of them stepped into the Wuzhe Building.

The small dark room behind them disappeared, and they appeared on a busy main road. Xue Mingyuan looked at the bright lights that were like dragons, and asked in surprise, "Is it night here?"

"There is no day in the Wuzhalou, only night, so every market here is a night market." Yu Yi explained, looking up at the stacked pavilions built against the mountain.

The lights hanging on the eaves and treetops were as dense as stars. Lighting up meant opening for business, and one light represented a stall.

Xue Mingyuan gently gathered his robe and murmured thoughtfully, "Eternal night?"

Yu Yi didn't hear clearly, and turned her head to ask in confusion, "Huh? What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Xue Mingyuan smiled, "The lights here are beautiful."

"It's really beautiful. I heard that there are many monks who come here not to buy or sell, but to see the lights here."

When Yu Yi came here for the first time, she was also impressed by the brilliant lights and shadows here, which reminded her of the light show held in the city before she crossed into the book.

This kind of homesickness that was inadvertently aroused was as sharp as a needle stirring in her heart, bringing up all the suppressed emotions.

But at the same time, she was also very clear-headed. She knew that since she came here, her hope of going back was very slim, so she would deliberately bury the past and not let herself be trapped in the past so that she could live well in the present.

Especially when Yu Yi knew that she was the heroine of a book, everything that had happened was like a flower in the mirror and a moon in the water, which was even more out of reach.

Xue Mingyuan noticed the silence of the people around him and took the initiative to ask, "Where should we go now?"

Yu Yi came back to his senses, buried his emotions again, and said, "I'm going to find materials for quenching the sword. You don't have to follow me. You can walk around and look at the lights here."

Xue Mingyuan hesitated and said, "But I want to follow you. Will it cause you trouble?"

Yu Yi didn't care much. "It's not a problem, but I'm afraid you'll be bored."

Xue Mingyuan breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "I think I'll never be bored with you."

This sentence sounded somewhat ambiguous. Yu Yi looked back at him in surprise, but she saw that Xue Mingyuan raised his hand and slightly lifted his hood. There was no trace of intimacy in his eyes, and he met her gaze sincerely and frankly.

Instead, it made people feel that she was overthinking.

Yu Yi turned her head, looked left and right, and walked to the right, "Then let's go."

Every market in Wuzhe Building is extremely lively. The flow of people starts from the opening time and does not stop until the market is closed.

The land market is different from the sea market. The sea market is only open for one month at the end of each year, while the land market is open all year round. Monks from all corners of the world, whether they want to buy or sell things, come here.

There are shops that have been stationed here for a long time in Wuzhelou, and there are more temporary stalls like running water.

The things in the shops are of course more standardized and more clearly marked, but if you know how to shop, you can also find good goods from those running water stalls on the street. Some are even better than the things in the shops and the prices are even cheaper.

Yu Yi plans to spend the whole day here today to collect the materials needed for quenching the sword, so he is not in a hurry to enter the shop, and plans to start from the stalls that are set up one after another on the street.

She swept along, and Xue Mingyuan followed her obediently, occasionally looking up from under his hood to take a look at the new things on the road.

When Yu Yi squatted in front of the stall and bargained with the stall owner, Xue Mingyuan stood aside obediently.

At this time, he stopped looking at the scenery and focused on watching Yu Yi bargaining with the stall owner.

"Your white rock doesn't look very pure. Don't look at such a big piece. After burning, there will only be a little bit left, right?" Yu Yi pointed at a piece of white rock that needed to be added to the molten sword and looked at it repeatedly, and said deliberately.

The stall owner snorted, "You must be joking. This is top-grade white rock. You can put some spiritual power into it and see that it has a fire core. If you go to a store and buy white rock with a fire core, it would be strange if it doesn't cost you a thousand spiritual stones. I only want eight hundred, which is very cheap."

What a boast! Do you think she has never been to the store?

Yu Yi followed his instructions and injected some spiritual power into it. He carefully examined the white rock and said, "Based on the size of the fire core, this white rock can only be considered top-grade. Three hundred spiritual stones are the maximum."

The stall owner was also very tough. "Three hundred spiritual stones, then you might as well go and rob it. I won't sell it for less than five hundred."

Yu Yi withdrew his hand and stood up neatly. "Okay, anyway, the market is open today. I see a lot of people selling rocks. There must be some with better quality than yours. "Okay."

The stall owner saw that she was really going to leave, and hurriedly waved to keep her: "Wait a minute, Daoist friend, I just opened my business, so I'll give you a lucky break, four hundred spirit stones!"

Yu Yi paused, "Three hundred and twenty."

The stall owner touched his chin, hesitated for a moment, and said with pain as if cutting flesh: "Three hundred and eight."

Yu Yi smiled, "It's a waste of time for you and me to go back and forth like this, how about we both take a step back and make a flat price of three hundred and fifty, I won't buy it for one more spirit stone."

"You are such a person, you won't let me earn more at all." The stall owner sighed and waved his hand, "Okay, okay, since you are my first business today, I will sell it to you." @無限好文，盡在晉江文学城

Yu Yi immediately smiled, her smart eyes curved like crescents, and the light shining in her eyes was more beautiful than the glass lamps hanging under the treetops. Xue Mingyuan looked at her quietly, and was unconsciously infected by her joyful mood, with a smile on his lips.

When she successfully bargained and bought what she wanted, her eyes and eyebrows would obviously be stained with joy. Sometimes, the stall owner was more cunning than her, and when she found that she had overpaid, she would also show a bit of regret.

Xue Mingyuan followed her past many stalls. In the end, the person in front of him attracted his attention more than the lights on the roadside.

The next time she took a fancy to something, Xue Mingyuan took the initiative and said, "Can I try to bargain for you?"

"Of course." Yu Yi raised his chin and pointed to the Ice Soul Water on the stall opposite. This was used for cooling when tempering swords. The water was clear and a layer of frost condensed on the container. It looked of good quality. "You should set a price range for it in your mind first."

Xue Mingyuan observed the bottle of Ice Soul Water carefully and thought, "Between eight hundred and one thousand?"

Yu Yi looked at him admiringly, "You are very good, not bad, then please go and bring it back for me."

Xue Mingyuan hesitated, "I can't do it alone."

Yu Yi looked at the bottle of Ice Soul Water again, and in order to take it safely, she followed him forward. The two cooperated well, singing the same tune and making the stall owner dizzy and confused. In the end, they bought the bottle of Bingpo water at a price lower than eight hundred.

After making a profit, Yu Yi accepted the Bingpo water. Before the stall owner could come to his senses, he grabbed Xue Mingyuan's wrist and ran into the crowd. When he heard the stall owner's late shout, the two ran even faster and disappeared in a blink of an eye. The stall owner was left sitting back and beating his head in frustration.

They ran into the next street and hid under the shadow of the green trees. They looked at each other and laughed together.

Senior Brother He was sleeping soundly in the purse, but he was woken up by the shaking. He squeezed out his little head and quacked in complaint. Yu Yi had to buy some dried meat to fill his mouth.

Xue Mingyuan sat on a bench under a tree and waited. The system happily popped up a strategy tutorial. He also cooperated by raising his hand, his fingertips dancing on the light screen, and ticking a series of boxes.

The system retracted the panel, praised Xue Mingyuan a few words, and fell silent again.

Xue Mingyuan did the strategy task without the system worrying about it. Moreover, unlike Xue Chenjing, the system could hardly capture any thoughts in his mind, so it couldn't find a topic to chatter with often.

System: I don't know why, but I feel a little lonely.

Xue Mingyuan looked up from the bright lights to the night sky. Because the lights on the ground were too bright, the sky was so deep that no stars or moon could be seen.

This small world is a secret place of eternal night.

Xue Mingyuan lowered his head, his vision began to blur, the bright lights turned into blurry spots in his eyes, a figure walked over in the halo and said, "When I bought dried meat for Xiaoniao, I also bought some other food, let you try it."

Xue Mingyuan tried hard to raise his hand, but his fingertips only moved slightly, and his body began to escape from his control.

He blinked one last time, wanting to take another look at her face, but unfortunately the light in his vision was getting weaker and weaker.

——It's a pity that I can't taste it.

Yu Yi waited for a moment, and seeing that he did not respond, she took a few steps closer to him and handed the snacks in her hand to him, "Do you want to eat?"

The person sitting there suddenly raised his hand and clamped her wrist. He raised his head suddenly, and the hood slipped from his head, revealing a wary and frightened face.

Yu Yi was stunned for a moment, and the snacks in her hand fell to the ground.

Xue Chenjing's eyes were filled with deep fear. He quickly scanned the surrounding environment and finally returned to the face of the person in front of him.

After confirming that there was no threat around and he was not in a desperate situation, and that the person in front of him was Yu Yi, the fear and alertness in Xue Chenjing's eyes dissipated. He blinked and his tense body relaxed.

The rich aroma of milk wafted into his nose. He lowered his eyes to look at the only remaining ice cream cake in Yu Yi's hand. It was a smoothie made of milk and sprinkled with nectar. He leaned over to her hand and licked it, squinting his eyes happily, "So cold, so sweet."

After that, he took two more bites from her hand.

Yu Yi's tongue was sucked to the fingertips, and she reacted suddenly. She stuffed the cake into his hand and retracted her hand.

Xue Chenjing held the cake, licked the corner of his lips, and suddenly came to his senses. He glanced at the ice cream cake in his hand, then at Yu Yi, and then looked down at the cake. His fingers suddenly tightened, and the cake box broke into pieces in his hands.

"Are you giving this to him? Are you feeding it to him? You don't want to give it to me?" Xue Chenjing said angrily, and stood up.

Yu Yi stepped back cautiously, glanced at the people around him, and warned him, "Don't go crazy here."

The ice cream in Xue Chenjing's hand melted, and the milk and nectar flowed through the bulging blue veins on the back of his hand, dripping down. He panted heavily and quickly, turned around twice, and looked up at her. The

boy's jawline was tense, and the two rabbit ears on his head were about to stand up in anger. His eyes were red from forbearance, and with the pair of red eyes, he was just like an anxious rabbit that could jump up and bite people.

She pressed her, "You've never fed me anything, but you fed him! Do you like him? Do you like him too?"

Yu Yizhen said, "I didn't want to feed him, I just passed it to him."

Who could have thought that Xue Chenjing would come out at this time, grab her hand, and eat a few bites himself.

Xue Chenjing stepped on the snacks on the ground, "You never bought these for me before, but you bought them for him now."

"I just bought them when I bought dried meat for Senior Brother He." Yu Yi frowned and watched him jumping around. He was so lively, it seemed that all his injuries were healed. "Now that you are here, these are for you."

Senior Brother He poked his head out of his purse with dried meat in his mouth. He looked back at them curiously.

Xue Chenjing stopped stepping on the snacks and asked suspiciously, "Really? If it were me, you would buy them for me too?"

Yu Yian comforted him, pointing to the snacks that were stepped on and messed up on the ground, "Well, those are for you."

Xue Chenjing looked at the ground in silence. After a long while, he let out a breath of anger, like a deflated ball, and said softly, "Master, go buy another one. I want to eat more."

Yu Yi stuffed Senior Brother He's head back, "I have no money and don't want to buy it."

"I have money, I'll give you money." Xue Chenjing was about to take out his spirit stone. He first pulled out a note from his sleeve. After unfolding it, there was a message left for him by Xue Mingyuan.

It wrote down the compensation for the damaged house of the inn, the money owed for breakfast, and the spiritual stones that Yu Yi helped to pay when he came in. All of them were recorded in detail so that he would remember to pay them back later.

Xue Chenjing scanned the paper quickly, and with a slight movement of his fingertips, he crushed the note into pieces.

- Xue Mingyuan, he will never get out again in this life!

He licked the remaining milk cake between his fingers with his tongue, squatted down and picked up a piece of broken chestnut crisp, and said aggrievedly: "Master, are you really not going to buy it for me?"

Yu Yi: "..." I don't believe you are going to pick up food from the ground.

After a moment, Yu Yi admitted defeat and said, "I'll buy it for you."

At this time, in a pavilion at the highest point of Wuzhe Building, Shen Qingzhi and Pei Jingchao were sitting together drinking.

On the right side of this pavilion was a garden room surrounded by a barrier.

There were gorgeous red flowers blooming inside, and among the red flowers, there were ice-blue butterflies dancing with water-drop-like phoenix tails. They were the demon-eating butterflies used to search for monsters the night before. Because they could not see the sun, they could only live at night. They also had another more beautiful name, the Eternal Night Butterfly.

Shen Qingzhi looked at his beautiful little butterfly with a smile on his face. He turned around and saw his friend with a sad face, so he sighed: "Sigui, I put aside my official duties to accompany you here for a drink, are you going to give me such a stinky face?"

Pei Jingchao had been looking at the prosperous commercial street below. Hearing this, he retracted his gaze and frowned and said: "The two of them came in here today."

"Who?" After Shen Qingzhi asked, he understood who he was talking about, and said helplessly, "Are you still suspicious of that person?"

"Xue Chenjing." Pei Jingchao nodded, "He is very strange. I saw him twice last night. The first time was at the mortal night market, but two or three hours later, I saw him again in the inn." @無限好文，盡在晉江文學城

Shen Qingzhi took a sip of wine and nodded to signal him to continue.

"I saw him twice in a short period of time, and he gave me completely different feelings. No matter from his expression and tone or some of his body movements, he was like a completely different person." Pei Jingchao turned his head to look at Butterfly beside him, "He must have used some kind of subterfuge to avoid detection last night."

Shen Qingzhi pretended to be angry and said, "Qingqing Sigui has been planning on my Butterfly. He doesn't want me to drink with you."

Pei Jingchao bowed his head to admit his mistake, picked up the wine glass and punished himself with three glasses, then said, "I guess Senior Brother Shen and I don't want to see any monsters sneak into Wuzhe Tower." Wuzhe

Tower is located in Yinzhou City, and Yinzhou is under the jurisdiction of Zhaohua Palace. The biggest boss behind Wuzhe Tower is Zhaohua Palace, and the other twelve immortal sects also have shops in the tower.

Pei Jingchao has not returned to the mountain, one reason is to investigate the person who destroyed the quenching platform, and the other is to take back some of the spiritual swords that were lost in the sword-suppressing stone.

Although he knew that Yu Yi and the others had entered here, he didn't know what they had become after entering. The Wuzhe Building has been able to survive until now and attract many monks to come and buy, all because of the twenty screen walls outside the building that can hide their bodies.

The contract text on the screen wall has been verified by heaven and earth, and even these behind-the-scenes immortal sects cannot violate it.

But after entering the Wuzhe Building and conducting transactions, if they want to investigate carefully, they can also find some clues.

Pei Jingchao had previously sent people to keep an eye on Xue Chenjing, and he himself was keeping an eye on Yu Yi. He knew that she went into Wuzhelou today to buy sword-hardening materials, so he had spies on several streets.

Although it was a little difficult to find them, it was not impossible.

"Brother Shen, do you want to try again?" Pei Jingchao took out a communication talisman from his sleeve. This was the information sent back by the spies he had spread out earlier, and they had found the person.

Shen Qingzhi glanced at the communication talisman on his fingertips and asked with interest: "How do you want to try? Since he has a way to avoid Yongye Butterfly once, he can naturally avoid it a second time."

"Force him to do it." Pei Jingchao said casually, "If he is a monk in the foundation building stage and accidentally gets involved in a dispute, it will be difficult for him to protect himself without using monsters." Shen

Qingzhi muttered, "Don't make too much noise."

"Thank you, Senior Brother Chen." Pei Jingchao nodded in agreement. He took out another prepared communication talisman from his sleeve and threw it out. The talisman turned into a stream of light and escaped down the mountain.

After a while, the noise rang out from a long street down the mountain.

When the dispute broke out on the commercial street, Xue Chenjing was holding the iced milk cake that Yu Yi bought for him.

Many people on the street didn't know what was happening, and suddenly someone started fighting. The light of the talisman and the shadow of the sword exploded on the long street. All the merchants and monks dodged in all directions. The light and the shadow of the sword intertwined into one.

The iced milk cake fell to the ground. Yu Yi reacted very quickly and wanted to escape, but was blocked by the dense sword shadows. She pulled out the green bamboo sword and the sword light swept across.

She felt something was wrong. Looking at the net woven by the sword shadows, the center of gravity was clearly here. It was obvious that they were not innocent fish, but turtles that others were deliberately trying to catch.

The sword shadow that was suppressed was not low in cultivation, at least in the Jindan realm. Yu Yi held a cracked sword, and two fists could not defeat four hands. The sword intention was suppressed.

When the intertwined sword shadows pressed down on his head, Yu Yi felt a damp and cold touch brushing across his cheek, and transparent tentacles emerged from the void, forming a solid umbrella-shaped cover over their heads.

The sword shadows struck down, and the snake scales on the tentacles struck out with rippling golden light, allowing its outline to slightly appear in the air.

Xue Chenjing turned around, opened his arms and pulled Yu Yi into his arms, hugging her. Thick mist enveloped their figures, but in just a moment, the mist dissipated, and the sword shadows that were blocked in the air fell down.

But there was no trace of the two people in the sword shadows.

In the pavilion on the top of the mountain, Shen Qingzhi saw the situation on the commercial street from the shadow beads of the besieging monks. He squinted at the passing white mist and licked his lips, "Ah, Di Zhuo, I hope I didn't see it." Wrong."

He stretched out his hand and picked up a drop of wine from the glass, flicked it toward the flower room barrier, and the wine condensed into a drop, and the rune light turned inside, and it penetrated the flower room barrier in an instant.

The barrier shattered, and the butterflies inside fluttered their wings and flew down the mountain in a swarm. The scale powder scattered by the butterfly wings was dotted with broken stars, like an icy blue milky way. @Infinite good writing, all in Jinjiang Literature City

Shen Qingzhi leaned on the window, following them with his eyes, and said with a smile: "This is the first time I see them so excited."

Pei Jingchao jumped out of the window and followed the butterflies. The

light mist on the ground flew through the lights and directly penetrated the building, making it almost unnoticeable.

Yu Yi was held tightly in Xue Chenjing's arms, and could only see the rapidly passing After a long time of light and shadow, they finally landed in a secluded attic alley.

Xue Chenjing still held her waist with both hands, lowered his head and leaned on her shoulder, saying hatefully: "Damn it, I haven't eaten a single bite yet."

Yu Yi rolled her eyes and said speechlessly: "Now is the time to think about this. " Yes

." Xue Chenjing buried his head in her neck, his nose close to her neck, deeply sniffing the pleasant scent on her body, "Master, will you buy it for me in the future?"

Yu Yi was moved by him. His breath made her neck tingle and her hair stood on end. She shrank her neck, raised her hand and grabbed his ponytail, trying to pull him away from her, and said in disgust, "Let me go... "

When she raised her eyes, she saw a flickering ice-blue light in the strip of sky formed by the alley. The light danced gracefully, shaking off the shiny powder, and looked extremely beautiful.

Yu Yi thought of what that thing might be, and in a hurry, blurted out: "Ah Qiu!"

Xue Chenjing also felt something, and suddenly raised his head and turned to look up, with dots of blue light reflected in his wide eyes. A hint of unconcealed fear appeared in his eyes.

Yu Yi saw his trembling fingertips and suggested, "Let Xue Mingyuan come out. He is not afraid of these butterflies."

Xue Chenjing tightened his fingers, clenched his fists, and turned his head. He stared at her with red eyes because of the rabbit mask, and said word by word, gritting his teeth: "Then I would rather die."

Yu Yi didn't understand why he hated Xue Mingyuan so much . , but just looked at the butterfly getting closer and closer to his head and frowned slightly: "What are you going to do now?"

"Don't worry, I won't die from the same thing again." Xue Chenjing pushed her out of the alley, "Master, go ahead and change into a disguise. You look better as a fox. Go buy what you want. Don't worry about me, I'll come back to find you."

He retreated step by step into the shadow of the alley, his figure gradually blurred, only his eyes were dim, his pupils were vaguely elongated, and finally he said: "A dog on a leash It won’t get lost.”
