Chapter 10: Shen Mu, you don't want to ......
Ye Mingxue pursed her small lips and, while supporting her body that hadn't fully recovered from the injuries yet on the ground, looked at the extraordinary woman in the white dress before her.
"Thank you two seniors for saving me."
She bowed deeply, and didn't have too much suspicion about the words of these two people.
After all, judging from the current situation, they were indeed her saviors.
"Judging from your extraordinary attire and the Blood Path Secret Technique you practice, you should be from the Blood Spirit Demon Sect, right?"
"..."
Ye Mingxue remained silent. After hearing the other party reveal her true identity, she was even more convinced in her heart that these were really two wandering experts.
"We don't have any other intentions. We just want to tell you that this is within the jurisdiction of the Wind Spirit Immortal Sect. If you're already okay and have no other purposes, then quickly leave along the direction of this stream."
"Otherwise, if it causes disputes between the Righteous and Demonic Paths, it will be the countless living beings in this world that will be affected."
Lin Yuhe's tone was unhurried, quite giving off the air of an expert who valued peace in the world.
And as it turned out, this indeed made the inexperienced Ye Mingxue believe her even more.
"This junior understands. I'll leave right away."
Ye Mingxue didn't dare to be negligent. After bowing deeply again, she leaped away in the direction described by the woman before her.
...
"How on earth did you guys do this! How could you let Mingxue sneak out again!"
In a magnificent hall, a cold and glamorous fairy with long purple-black hair and red eyes glared angrily, pointing at the numerous attendants and elders below and scolding them.
"Master... You know the temperament of the Holy Maiden very well. We simply couldn't stop her."
"Shut up!"
The fairy furrowed her brows in anger, and a powerful demonic energy pressure erupted from her body, shaking the space of the entire hall. The attendants and elders under her position as the sect master all quickly knelt down on the ground, bowed their heads, and broke out in cold sweats, not daring to say another word.
"Do you know that Mingxue is in a very special period right now? If anything unexpected happens to her, you'll all die!"
"Hurry up and go look for her!"
"Yes! Yes!"
After a loud shout, the people in the hall hurriedly nodded and bowed as they retreated, fearing that this sect master would get angry again.
After her anger subsided a little, the purple-haired fairy also rubbed her temples and let out a long sigh: "Huh... What a worry-free girl..."
"She's done this time and time again... It seems that I'll have to attach some tracking methods to her next time."
...
In Xuanyong City.
Lin Yuhe and Shen Mu walked one after the other in the bustling streets and markets.
"How was it? My acting skills aren't bad, right?" Lin Yuhe took a bite of a candied haw on a stick and talked while chewing, completely without any ladylike image.
"Uh-huh, they're quite good. The contrast between your words and deeds almost made me think there were two people living inside you."
Hearing this, Lin Yuhe paused for a step, her complexion changed slightly for a moment, and then she quickly returned to normal.
"Humph~ I've been here for over half a year after all. Acting is naturally a piece of cake for me."
Lin Yuhe slightly turned her gaze and used her peripheral vision to look at Shen Mu behind her, wanting to see his reaction.
Unexpectedly, Shen Mu stopped in his tracks outside a brand-new and magnificent tall attic and stared at the plaque on the attic.
"Moon Shadow Merchant Guild?" He frowned and pinched his chin, looking a bit thoughtful.
Why did this merchant guild also appear at this time...
"What's wrong? Are you interested in this newly opened merchant guild?" Lin Yuhe came to Shen Mu's side and asked with a smile.
"To be honest... Is this another one of your masterpieces?"
Shen Mu thought of the relationship between the Lin family and the Moon Shadow Immortal Sect, and then thought of the recent actions of this young lady of the Lin family, and immediately connected the dots.
"It seems your reaction is really quite fast~"
Lin Yuhe didn't deny it either and showed a meaningful expression. "Do you want to go in and take a look? There are some things inside that can only be seen in that world."
"Uh... No, I'll come and take a look when I have time in the future."
Shen Mu looked at her expression that seemed eager to stir up trouble and resolutely raised his hand to refuse, then turned around to leave.
However, Lin Yuhe grabbed his wrist. There was a faint flow of spiritual power between her fingers as she exerted a little force.
"Come on~ Since we're already here, let's go in and take a look. It won't cost you anything..."
"Besides, we're now 'accomplices' with a common secret. You don't want me to take the initiative to mention that incident just now in front of Master, do you?"
"..."
Hearing her rather "cuckold-style" threatening words, the corner of Shen Mu's mouth twitched slightly. He knew he couldn't escape her clutches.
...
"Greetings, Young Lady."
As soon as the two of them stepped across the threshold of the merchant guild, a beautiful woman with a tall and voluptuous figure, wearing a purple slit cheongsam, came up to them.
"Don't mind me. I'm just bringing a friend here to browse around casually." Lin Yuhe said faintly, with a calm expression, quite like a big shot on an incognito visit.
"Yes."
The beautiful woman politely retreated. Lin Yuhe also turned to Shen Mu and smiled and gestured: "Let's go."
Sigh~
The entanglement with her is really getting harder and harder to break free from.
Shen Mu sighed helplessly in his heart and could only follow her while looking around at the dazzling array of goods.
"The first five floors are basically filled with ordinary items, which are basically only used by ordinary people. Above these five floors are the things prepared for cultivators."
"However... In this world, the essential differences between cultivators and ordinary people aren't actually that many."
"Especially for some cultivators at lower realms."
"To put it in simple terms, they're just a group of ordinary people with powerful strength, and in some aspects, they don't even perform as well as most ordinary people."
"Therefore, some cultivators will also linger on these five floors and even be reluctant to leave."
Just as Lin Yuhe finished speaking, a few Qi Refining disciples wearing the robes of the Wind Spirit Immortal Sect were walking shoulder to shoulder not far away, chatting animatedly as they walked.
"I'm telling you, this newly opened merchant guild in Xuanyong City has a lot of good stuff! You basically can't see them in the sect. It's so exciting!"
"Brother, come on and tell us! What exactly is it? Is it what we're thinking of?"
"You'll know in a while. I guarantee you'll be satisfied after seeing it!"
"If you're not satisfied, I'll pay for everything you buy here today."
"Really?"
"Of course! I, Wang, always mean what I say!"
The several people walked upstairs laughing and joking, and then turned into a corridor with a sign that said "No Children Allowed".
"..."
Shen Mu looked at the glazed sign decorated with pink peaches and couldn't help but slightly lower his eyes. Immediately, he associated it with some scenes that probably wouldn't pass the censorship.
"Humph~ Let me guess, you're thinking of some 18+ scenes in your mind right now, right?"
