Shen Yunhao frowned deeply.
His conflict with Baihe Temple was rather unique, stemming from his act of exposing the affair between Chi Dandan and Bai Tianrui in Linxian City in order to help Pang Shunan vent his anger.
At that time, although he did not disguise himself, he still referred to himself as "Piggy Hero".
As for the Xuanhuang Sect, the one who truly had a conflict with them was the disguised "Zhu Dachang".
No matter how I look at it, it's highly unlikely that it will involve me...
"Could it be... that I'm overthinking it? Maybe these two sects know each other before and are just exchanging pleasantries here..."
Mu Shuangshuang chuckled and glanced at him. "If that's what you think, then I'll have to prepare a coffin for you in advance... You might just disappear one day, leaving me all alone as a widow... Oh dear!"
The little scorpion, having just eaten a large chestnut, playfully stuck out its tongue and continued to press Shen Yunhao against its chest, gently rubbing the boy's neck with its slender silver stinger.
"Honey...have you forgotten...your biggest secret?"
Shen Yunhao was slightly taken aback, then, as if remembering something, he quickly turned to look at the small table next to him.
Shen Yunhao had placed that vine and snake combination aside for "observation" countless times!
"You mean...Zi'er?"
Thinking of this, Shen Yunhao frowned and grabbed the long tail that was still playing around behind him.
The girl let out a soft moan and couldn't help but hug Shen Yunhao even tighter. "My husband's biggest mistake on this trip was flirting with that brat in Tanghuo City. As a result, those little bastards from the Xuanhuang Sect held a grudge against him and accidentally revealed his trump card of possessing the Demonic Vine..."
"..."
It's been so long, and they still want to drag it out and dredge up the corpse...
"Not many people may know about the Dark Abyss Demon Vine, but..." Mu Shuangshuang licked her lips, "Don't forget, besides the righteous path, there are quite a few people eyeing the Demon Vine! For example... Daoist Qianhe of the Tai Xuan Dao Sect? For example... the Blood Sect?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Yunhao's expression grew even more somber.
Now that the Netherfire Curse on Mo Yan has been lifted, the threat from the Blood Sect has been reduced considerably for the time being. However... if they cannot control something like the Dark Abyss Demon Vine, the Blood Sect will definitely try every means to destroy it!
Therefore, the crisis is far from over!
"Baihe Temple was originally affiliated with Taixuan Dao Sect and has close ties with it. It's possible that Daoist Qianhe might be cultivating his own people there! And so far, Xuanhuang Sect is the only sect that has witnessed the Demon Vine's actions..."
At this point, Mu Shuangshuang's lips curled up, "My dear husband, do you really think that it's no big deal for the White Crane Temple and the Xuanhuang Sect to meet?"
"..."
After a moment of thought, Shen Yunhao grabbed the needle and pricked the girl's buttocks!
"oops!"
Mu Shuangshuang's eyes widened; she had never imagined that one day her own tail would sting her butt...
What are you doing?
"You little brat! Don't you dare lecture your husband!"
The girl pouted and then chuckled, "How could I dare to lecture my husband... I'm only fit to be lectured by my husband. Does my husband want to use any other tail to lecture me? He can use any tail he wants!"
Shen Yunhao rolled his eyes, then looked at the sleeping vine and snake on the other side.
"Better safe than sorry... I was originally planning to participate in this kendo tournament, but it looks like I won't be able to now! I might be targeted immediately..."
"Hmm? Honey, you're actually planning to attend the conference?" Mu Shuangshuang raised an eyebrow. "Are you planning to follow behind your wife and cheer her on when she's dominating the scene? Or are you going around waving a sword and saying I'm the Ice Fairy's... Ouch! Don't hit me, or it'll swell up!"
"..."
A moment later, Mu Shuangshuang, who had just been beaten up and now looked completely obedient, nodded seriously, "Don't worry, if my husband wants to attend the meeting, I'll figure something out!"
...
It was evening.
The lights in Shuangfeng Courtyard lit up one by one, casting a warm yellow hue on the bluestone ground.
Ning Yuyao sat alone on a stone bench in the courtyard, her fingertips unconsciously stroking the cold stone surface, while her gaze frequently drifted towards the direction of the courtyard gate.
The last rays of the setting sun had long since faded, and the night, as dark as ink, pressed down heavily, making the cold, lonely figure appear even more so.
Guan Yingying happened to walk by and, seeing her junior sister's longing expression, couldn't help but click her tongue: "What? Has your soul been bewitched by your husband? It's only been half a day, is it really that big of a deal?"
Ning Yuyao didn't turn around, her clear, cold voice carrying a hint of barely perceptible confusion: "Senior sister...did I...go a little too far?"
Guan Yingying raised an eyebrow, walked over and sat down next to her, "Too much?"
At this moment, she looked at Ning Yuyao's slightly reddened ears and chuckled, "What, are you worried about him? Afraid that you'll tire him out and affect his performance later?"
"Senior sister!" Ning Yuyao glared at her, embarrassed and annoyed, but the unease deep in her eyes did not disappear.
Guan Yingying toned down her joking tone and said seriously, "I'm not trying to be mean, but Junior Sister, you're just too worried! Don't you know what kind of person that kid is? He's tough as nails, what's a little bit of torment to him? Besides..."
She leaned closer to Ning Yuyao, lowered her voice, and said with a hint of mischief, "If he really felt wronged, with his personality, he would have already been clinging to your arm with a grin, begging and pleading for forgiveness. Why would he just disappear without a word? I bet something got in the way, or... he got snatched away by some vixen..."
Ning Yuyao's cool eyes narrowed slightly, but she quickly suppressed her emotions and shook her head, "No... my husband is cautious by nature and wouldn't easily stay out overnight..."
"That settles it then?" Guan Yingying patted her shoulder. "Relax, that kid is very slippery. Who knows what fun things he'll find in the city. Just go back to your room and rest. When he comes back, you can 'serve' him well!"
After saying that, he waved his hand and walked back to his east wing.
Ning Yuyao clasped her hands together, still blushing slightly as she thought about last night's scene.
Time passed slowly, and the unique, metallic silence of Wanren City at night descended, making the lights in Shuangfeng Courtyard appear even more lonely.
As the night grew darker, a thought uncontrollably flashed through the mind of the girl sitting alone.
Is Shen Yunhao... really angry?
Did I really go too far this time?
Their past experiences were already obscure, and they had finally made it to where they are now, and had finally managed to preserve the tenderness deep in their memories... The thought of possibly losing it again filled them with an unparalleled sense of fear.
At this moment, this fear was amplified infinitely because of Shen Yunhao's prolonged absence.
Finally, at a certain moment, Ning Yuyao suddenly stood up, her voice trembling almost imperceptibly: "No, I... I have to go find him!"
However, just as she was about to walk towards the courtyard gate, the tightly closed gate creaked open and was gently pushed open.
