"Little silly girl, we've swapped back our bodies." Mu Yijie gently tapped Yong Shanling's fair and tender nose tip, with a smile in the corners of his eyes.
"Ah, my 1.9 - meter height. I won't be able to look down on Shu Shu anymore." Yong Shanling widened her eyes and let out a loud exclamation. The look of heart - ache on her face was quite real.
It made Mu Yijie's hands itch a bit. Had this girl been getting too carried away lately by his side?
After Yong Shanling said that, she quickly covered her mouth. Realizing that she had blurted out her little secret, she immediately dared not say a word. With her head down, she secretly peeked at Shu Shu's reaction from the corner of her eye.
Mu Yijie looked at her with a half - smile, "So little Ling'er doesn't want to swap identities back with me so much. Shu Shu is so sad."
Hearing that the person she liked was sad, Yong Shanling immediately anxiously raised her head. She hurriedly hugged Shu Shu's arm and said in succession, "Shu Shu, I was wrong. I... I just wanted to be a bit taller. Shu Shu, don't be angry."
Saying that, Yong Shanling rolled her eyes. She suddenly jumped up and kissed Mu Yijie. Just as she was about to pull away, a big hand firmly pressed on her head. Without any room for refusal, he kept kissing her red lips, lingering on them.
Just when Yong Shanling couldn't help opening her mouth to gasp for breath, Mu Yijie directly invaded between her lips and teeth. Like a king patrolling his territory, he swept through her mouth, leaving no corner untouched.
Yong Shanling felt that her mouth didn't even belong to herself anymore. She felt that the air was getting thinner. But even though she was in great discomfort, she still didn't want to let go.
"Silly girl, don't you even know how to breathe while kissing?" Mu Yijie tightly held the weak Yong Shanling in his arms and shook his head helplessly.
Mu Yijie lowered his eyes and slowly wiped his fingers. For those who already knew his identity, he didn't plan to leave them alive. After all, what was ultimately threatened was his Ling'er.
"I've never kissed anyone else before. How would I know how to breathe while kissing? And..." Yong Shanling squinted her eyes and looked at Mu Yijie threateningly. "Shu Shu, have you practiced? Otherwise, how can your kissing skills be so good?" Her voice carried a bit of complaint and also sounded like a coquetry. Her gaze swept over Mu Yijie's slightly wrinkled clothes, and a strange feeling flashed through her heart.
Mu Yijie didn't say a word. He just sat there smiling, "Little girl, do you think everyone is as stupid as you? I learned it when I checked on Baidu."
Hearing Mu Yijie's teasing, Yong Shanling's heart started beating faster. Her ears gradually turned red, but she still stuck out her neck and stared straight at him, "I just can't bear to be away from Shu Shu. After all, I like Shu Shu the most."
Facing Yong Shanling's straightforward confession, this time it was Mu Yijie's turn to feel embarrassed. He tried hard to suppress the corners of his lips, but the curve of his mouth kept getting bigger. Finally, he showed a big smile.
Mu Yijie couldn't help but kiss her rosy lips again. They didn't stop until they were both out of breath.
The two of them stuck closely together while eating. It was almost the end of the meal when she suddenly remembered the monster they had encountered tonight. She raised her head and looked at Mu Yijie curiously, "Shu Shu, what's the deal with that monster tonight?"
Mu Yijie's eyes flashed. Thinking of the Ye family, his mood suddenly became heavy. After a moment of silence, he said to Yong Shanling, "That monster might have been sent by someone. We might have been targeted. Or rather, you've been targeted."
"Really? Is it a cultivator? Does that mean I can fight again?" Yong Shanling bombarded him with questions. She was like a cat that had smelled catnip and got all excited.
Mu Yijie pinched her cheek jealously, "Ling'er, aren't you scared?"
"Scared? Why should I be scared? I'm happy to have someone to fight with." Yong Shanling squinted her eyes with a smile and happily nestled in Mu Yijie's arms. "But none of these are as important as Shu Shu. After all, cultivation can be improved slowly, but there's only one Shu Shu."
Even though he had heard a lot of sweet words from Yong Shanling, his heart still raced every time he heard them. He thought that he might really be smitten.
After they got home, Yong Shanling went to play with her dog, while Mu Yijie went back to the study alone. With a solemn look on his face, he said into the phone, "I wonder how your investigation is going? If you're not willing, I'll have to find someone else."
"Aren't you in no hurry?" The distorted voice came from the other end of the phone, which immediately made Mu Yijie show a dangerous smile.
"Now it's you who need my help, not me begging you. If I want help, there are plenty of people willing to offer it. After all, I have a Golden - Core - stage cultivator by my side. What about you? Will your fellow disciples really be willing to go against that behemoth for you?"
There was a moment of silence on the other end. Before the other person could answer, Mu Yijie hung up the phone directly.
The thin man on the other end was Ye Qinghe, who had been missing for some time. He had been busy investigating the real cause of his sister's death recently. He was swamped with work, and he had also found some clues about what had happened back then.
Thinking of this, his eyes suddenly became sharp.
It was all because of his momentary carelessness that the murderer had been at large for so long. This time, he would never let the murderer go. As for Mu Yijie, he frowned. Maybe he could trust Mu Yijie's words and choose to cooperate with him. After all, he knew about their strength.
Thinking that the evidence he had found recently all pointed to another cultivating family in Huai City, the Ye family.
He sent a message back to Mu Yijie: Okay, I agree. But you must cooperate with me to find out what exactly happened.
After a while, the reply came: Okay, happy cooperation.
Ye Qinghe closed his eyes tightly. He didn't know if what he was doing was right or wrong.
On the other side, Ye Wei, who was lying leisurely on the bed enjoying a massage, suddenly opened her eyes. A sharp glint flashed in her eyes, "Ye Ya, something's wrong."
"Miss." The little demons serving around were trembling with fear as they looked at the suddenly enraged Ye Wei. They were afraid that their lives would be taken by this great demon carelessly.
"Get out!" The enraged voice came. She waved her hand and told all the demons to leave.
After they left, she paced back and forth on the spot, unable to figure out what had happened. It was just a little girl who hadn't even reached the Golden - Core stage. Ye Ya couldn't even handle her, and finally even lost his own life. The danger level of Yong Shanling in her heart rose again, and she cared about her even more.
"Damn Yong Shanling."
