Yong Shanling discreetly got rid of the bloodstains on her hands and stepped a bit farther away from the monster. As for the wounds on the monster, she and Shu Shu were the victims too. They were just acting in self - defense.
She was so cute. How could she possibly harm someone else's monster? Smiling emoji.
After a while, Zhang Jie rushed over in a hurry. Having been used to running wildly in the forest, he couldn't stop abruptly.
"Wow, kid, you're quite skillful! You've reached the Fusion Stage!" Zhang Jie circled around the spider monster and said with emotion as he looked at Mu Yijie.
"Where, senior, you're overpraising me." Mu Yijie said calmly to the man whose face was even younger than his own, showing no sign of embarrassment at all.
A glint of light flashed in Zhang Jie's eyes. This kid was quite interesting. He was surrounded by golden light all over, just like an immortal, but he had a fate of loneliness. However, the relationship between the two in front of him seemed quite good. Interesting, really interesting!
"Senior, it was this monster that wanted to eat my Shu Shu, so we had to kill it. You mustn't find fault with my Shu Shu!" Yong Shanling was like an old hen protecting its chicks, tightly blocking in front of Mu Yijie. She stared intently at Zhang Jie, as if she would pounce on him and bite him if he said anything unfavorable.
Zhang Jie gave a sly smile. "Originally, I raised this monster for alchemy, but you guys actually—" He deliberately paused for effect. Seeing the man's tightly - clenched hands and Yong Shanling's vigilant eyes, he continued with a smile, "Since you killed it in self - defense, I won't pursue this matter. But I'll take some useful parts first, and you can have the rest."
Hearing Zhang Jie's generous words, Yong Shanling immediately jumped up excitedly. The next second, her face turned a bit red as she said to Zhang Jie, "Sorry, senior. I misjudged you."
"It's okay. After all, if I were you, I'd also be afraid of being hunted down by the master." Zhang Jie winked with a smile, making Yong Shanling giggle.
"Thank you, senior. If there's anything you need, within my ability, I'll definitely help." Mu Yijie stepped forward calmly, blocking Yong Shanling behind him and separating the two.
The smile in Zhang Jie's eyes flashed by. Young people were really jealous. Thinking of this, a teasing look flashed in his eyes. He frowned as if in a dilemma. "Well... I actually do have something I'd like you to help with." Without waiting for Mu Yijie, who sensed something was wrong, to refuse, he continued, "I've been abroad for a long time. I just got back to the country recently for something, but so much time has passed that my original residence is gone. I wonder if I could stay at your place for a while. I'll pay for it."
"Of course it's okay, senior. You're such a nice person. We're more than willing to have you stay with us." Yong Shanling looked at Zhang Jie happily. Since the senior was so nice, it would be good to let him stay.
Just like that, before Mu Yijie could react, Yong Shanling had already agreed. Mu Yijie didn't say anything more. He lowered his eyes to hide his gaze, which was like a silent approval.
Just like this, the group was about to return. On the way, at night, they found a small village to stay in.
At dawn, accompanied by the high - pitched crowing of roosters, a new day began.
"You monster, get out of here and leave my daughter alone. My daughter is going to get married and have children in the future. How can she be with a monster like you, you bastard. You abducted my daughter..."
"You little slut, you've been blinded by this bastard. Have you forgotten all the modesty I've taught you? He's a monster, and you've gone against your parents' wishes and are with a monster..."
"He's a monster. How can a human be with a monster? Are you crazy?"
"Yeah, they're from two different worlds."
"Otherwise, we should just kill him..."
...
Accompanied by these voices, Yong Shanling woke up from her bed. She opened her eyes and was a bit confused when she saw the strange surroundings. But the next second, she remembered that she had stayed in a small village last night.
She sat on the bed and listened carefully to the voices she had heard while sleeping.
She heard the sound of an argument at a house not far from where they were staying. After listening for a while, she showed an interested smile.
"Shu Shu, you're already up." Yong Shanling walked out of the door and saw Mu Yijie standing at the door, looking at the farce in the distance.
"Yeah. How did you sleep last night?" Mu Yijie shifted his gaze and looked into Yong Shanling's still pure and clear eyes. His eyes softened.
All people in the world are born clean and pure. However, some people, during their growth, actively or passively get stained with other colors by the surrounding environment. Maybe it starts with just a little bit at first, but in the end, there's more and more, and finally they become turbid and are no longer as clean as before. But there are also very few people who can always keep the peace and purity in their hearts no matter what kind of environment they're in.
There are too few such people, and he was so lucky to have such a lover. So he would never let go of her hand.
"Shu Shu, it seems that something's going on there. Let's go and take a look." Yong Shanling thought of what she had heard in a daze and was afraid that a monster might be in trouble, so she was going to pull Shu Shu to go and have a look.
Mu Yijie frowned. Thinking of the situation he had observed this morning, he didn't really want her to go. But then he thought that with him around, he wouldn't let Ling'er get into trouble.
"Grandmas, what's going on here?" Yong Shanling showed her standard smile that could charm both the old and the young and said to the grandmas watching the scene.
The grandmas were a bit vigilant when they heard the voice of a strange little girl at first, but the next second they were conquered by Yong Shanling's cute and innocent smile.
"Alas, it's the Wang family's little girl. She was abducted by an unknown man. Without her parents' consent, she just moved into his house." An amiable old grandma said with disappointment, and her finger pointing at the man's house was trembling a bit.
Yong Shanling, who also had an unknown origin and was adopted by her master, felt a pang in her heart.
"Yeah, these young people nowadays don't even know who the other person is or what their family does, and they just get together. The most important thing is that that person is a monster. He even has green eyebrows and hair. If the dye on his head hadn't accidentally fallen off, we wouldn't have known at all. Do you think a human can be with a monster?"
"Er..." Yong Shanling looked at the excited grandma awkwardly and hesitated to speak.
