Yaoguang Fairy Path

She took a few steps and suddenly stopped, looking back at Long Wuji. She puffed her cheeks and said unhappily, "I'm telling you, if it happens again, I won't be so kind and let them go. You better take care of your girls and don't let them mess with me again."

Long Wu Ji looked at Ye Shuyao's playful appearance and felt that she was like a lively and cute little hamster, smart and a little childish.

With a soothing tone, he explained, "Don't worry, it won't happen again. Besides, I've never touched them."

Upon hearing this, Ye Shuyao's face was filled with the expression "I don't believe you!" She raised her eyebrows and looked at him nonchalantly, saying, "My principle is that I won't offend others unless they offend me. They can't hurt me anyway. But then again, isn't it a bit of a waste of talent for you to leave those beautiful concubines alone?"

Long Wuji shook his head and spoke slowly, "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have really believed that you would be kind to women. As for them, they are just tools sent by a few restless guys. I have never bothered to pay attention to them. As long as they can stay where they are supposed to be and don't run out to get in my way, I will do my best."

Ye Shuyao said as she walked, with a hint of cunning in her voice, "Is that so? However, it was your concubine who annoyed me after all. As a good friend, I won't bother with you any more. You have to treat me today. I will buy the food and you will pay for it."

Long Wuji didn't mind her constantly mentioning his concubine. He just smiled and said, "Okay, whatever you want. It's my fault. I accept the punishment."

Ye Shuyao, "Then I won't be polite."

Long Wuji, "You're welcome."

It wasn't until their voices faded away, leaving only their vague silhouettes, that Feiyan, hiding behind the rockery, finally came to her senses from her panic. She slowly loosened her hand, her fingertips trembling slightly from the prolonged pressure, and her lips pale from being tightly closed for so long. She breathed deeply as she walked out of the rockery.

The maid behind her was so frightened that she didn't dare to breathe.

……

"Is that the Hades?" As her eldest brother said, he was cruel and ruthless. He looked stunning, but he was a murderer. Even if she had ten tigers' courage, she would not dare to get close to him. She had to find a way to get her brother to get her out. However, the girl could get along so harmoniously with such an evil god. It seemed that she was not an ordinary person. She became interested in her.

Thinking of her ambitious and restless father, Feiyan couldn't help but frown. It seemed that she and her brother had to make plans in advance to avoid being caught in the crossfire. Perhaps it would be a good choice to let her brother surrender to the Emperor and be tied to the Emperor. Not to mention anything else, just because her brother was good at making money, it was not an exaggeration to say that he was the richest man in the underworld. As long as the sincerity was enough, the Emperor would not refuse.

Just as Feiyan was thinking about how to rebel against her stupid father and was about to leave, there was a bang beside her.

A look of fear suddenly appeared on Feiyan's beautiful face. She took a step back like a frightened deer, and slapped her chest unconsciously with her hands.

Seeing this, the maid Shaoyao immediately stepped forward and stood in front of Feiyan. She clenched her hands and stared at the two people kneeling on the ground with full of vigilance.

"What are you doing? You scared me!" Feiyan's voice was trembling. She thought that the Emperor and the girl had made a surprise attack again.

The two of them quickly bowed their heads, foreheads pressed tightly against the cold stone slab, their voices filled with urgency and pleading: "Your servant Fuling and your servant Lianqiao are willing to follow Madam wholeheartedly. We hope Madam will have mercy on us! We will sacrifice our lives for you and will go through fire and water for you without hesitation!"

When Feiyan heard this, her eyebrows slightly frowned, and a hint of coldness appeared on her beautiful face.

She gently opened her red lips, her voice carrying a hint of unquestionableness: "I'm sorry, but I don't have such a broad mind and compassion. When you two abandoned your master just now, did you ever hesitate or feel reluctant? You betray your master and seek glory like this. I, Feiyan, dare not accept you, and I don't want to keep such disloyal and treacherous people around me."

Little did she know that what Feiyan hated most in her life was betrayal. Besides, she was in a difficult situation herself, so how could she have the leisure to care about the lives of others? It would be better to let them find other places to make a living.

After saying that, Feiyan waved her sleeves and left with her maids, Shaoyao and Zhuoxia.

The two of them looked at Feiyan's figure gradually walking away, feeling mixed emotions.

Lian Qiao's emotions collapsed first. She muttered indignantly, "We are just trying to survive. Why does she look down on us?" As she spoke, her eyes gradually turned red and tears rolled down like beads with broken strings. She sobbed uncontrollably.

In contrast, Fuling seemed much calmer. She stood up and gazed deeply at the direction where Feiyan and Shaoyao left, a look of both envy and relief in her eyes.

She gently patted Lian Qiao's shoulder and comforted her, "Lian Qiao, don't cry. It's true that we abandoned our master to survive, so it's understandable that she doesn't dare to take us in easily."

Fuling turned her gaze towards Shaoyao and Feiyan, who were inseparable from her. A trace of envy and yearning flashed in her eyes, and she said in a faint voice, "It's our fault that we don't have the luck to meet such a smart master."

Lian Qiao wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, "What should we do if we take her here? The Netherworld Palace doesn't keep idle people." She didn't want to be sent to dig Netherstone. Little maids like them who had no talent for cultivation had no power to choose and could only be at the mercy of others.

Lian Qiao comforted him, "Don't be afraid, Lian Qiao, there will always be a way. Aren't there other ladies? There will always be someone willing to accept us. At worst, we can sign a soul contract with them."

……

Feiyan's footsteps were heavy and messy. Long Wuji's words without a trace of warmth, especially the word "tool", were like a cold blade, echoing in her mind and cutting her heart.

Feiyan felt an inexplicable sense of grievance rising to her throat. As her emotions surged, she suddenly kicked the Panlong Pillar beside her, causing her to cry out in pain.

Shaoyao and Zhuoxia, who were standing by, saw this and quickly stepped forward to support her. Shaoyao's face was filled with distress. "Madam, what are you doing? Why are you kicking the pillar for no reason?"

Zhuo Xia sighed helplessly, "Does it hurt? Madam, you can't kick this pillar like that!"

Feiyan's heart seemed to be soaked with bitter bile, her eyes were red, tears were swirling in her eyes, and she said pitifully: "It hurts... It hurts so much... Quick, help me go back."

Do you really think that Feiyan is willing to enter the damn Netherworld Palace and be a humble concubine?

It's all because of my inhuman father. He is blind and insane. Not only did he favor his concubine and kill his wife, he also took away my brother's position as the young master. He even let his original wife's daughter marry in his place. I have never seen such a shameless bastard father.

But I have to say that the enchanting stepmother's methods were really amazing. She made the old man so stunned that he never took in any concubines again.

No, she wanted to rebel against her brother. Once her brother became the domain lord, maybe he could even ask the Emperor to let her go back to the ghost domain.

……

Elsewhere, Ye Shuyao and Long Wuji leisurely wandered through the bustling crowd, like two unique sights in this bustling market. Ye Shuyao walked ahead, pausing occasionally to browse through the dazzling array of goods, while Long Wuji followed behind her, Fu Mingshi. It had to be said that the two of them seemed to be in perfect harmony.

The small vendor selling animal skins saw that the two were dressed in extraordinary clothes and greeted them warmly: "Hey, young ladies, come and take a look! These animal skins were just taken from spiritual beasts not long ago. Look at the spiritual energy on them! These are all top-grade goods." There was a bit of flattery and ingratiation in his voice.

Ye Shuyao held a sweet pastry in her mouth, her cheeks slightly puffed, making her look particularly adorable. Hearing this, she turned her head curiously, her eyes falling on the stall filled with all kinds of spirit animal furs. She picked up a fluffy white fox tail and took a look.

Seeing this, the vendor's eyes flashed with a sly gleam. "Young lady, you have excellent taste! This is the tail of a fifth-rank spirit fox. The fur is pure white like snow, soft and smooth. It is a rare treasure. For only fifty high-grade Nether Stones, I will give you a pair of fox ears as well. I guarantee that you will be as beautiful as a fairy when you wear them!"

Ye Shuyao, bring it? It felt strange for a human like her to wear a fox tail and a pair of fox ears. She smiled and said, "No, thank you."

Seeing this, the vendor turned his eyes and cast his gaze on Long Wuji behind Ye Shuyao, and encouraged with a smile on his face: "Sir, buy it for the young lady to play with. I guarantee that she will be very happy!"

Long Wu Ji looked at the figure in front of him, covered his lips and chuckled, threw down a bag of Nether Stone, moved his fingertips slightly, and the fox tail and fox ears turned into a colorful light and fell on Ye Shuyao.

At this time, Ye Shuyao was still unaware that she had a tail behind her. The furry white fox tail swayed gently with her steps, and the pair of fox ears also appeared on her head, adding a bit of charm and playfulness to her already beautiful face.

Long Wuji's eyes followed her closely, watching the small tail swaying behind her and smelling the faint fragrance. This tail was probably originally from a fox. As the fragrance entered his nose, his ears couldn't help but turn red, his Adam's apple rolled, and his heartbeat slowed down involuntarily. Long Wuji murmured softly, "What a charming little goblin."

This scene instantly became a beautiful landscape in the market, attracting the attention of passers-by, their eyes full of surprise and admiration.

"What a beautiful young lady!" The exclamations of praise echoed endlessly. The female cultivators, upon seeing them, rushed to buy the same fox tails and ears. For a moment, the stalls selling animal hides were completely packed, and the place was bustling with people.

The vendor saw this and smiled so hard that his teeth were showing, and his eyes narrowed into slits. "Ladies, come one by one, don't push, don't push, there are still many!" While greeting customers, he was frantically searching for more animal skins.

However, the hustle and bustle at this moment did not affect Ye Shuyao who was busy picking things. She held the snacks in both hands, then picked up the half-bitten pastry in her hand, stuffed the whole piece into her mouth without hesitation, clapped her hands, and started picking from a magic weapon stall with great interest.

Ye Shuyao picked up a pear blossom hairpin and put it on herself. Seeing this, the vendor immediately understood and handed her a water mirror. The mirror was clear and bright, reflecting a beautiful face.

The stall owner, a middle-aged woman, smiled and exclaimed, "Oh, it looks really good on you, young lady, just like the most beautiful pear blossoms in spring!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Shuyao's face blossomed into a bright smile. She turned to look at Long Wuji and asked, "Does it look good?" Her voice was crisp and pleasant.

Long Wu Ji smiled slightly, his eyes as gentle as water, and nodded: "It looks good, you will look good in anything you wear." As he said that, he took out the Nether Stone again and placed it on the stall.

Ye Shuyao looked at herself in the mirror. The pear blossom hairpin sparkled in her hair. She nodded with satisfaction. The pear blossom pattern was so lifelike, it was exactly the style she liked.

The middle-aged woman happily put away the stone and watched the two people leave. She said, "Young lady, come again next time!"

And this whole scene fell into a pair of sharp eyes in the third-floor window of the restaurant next to it. Ha, it was really effortless. Zhang Zeye sat there, his eyes as sharp and interested as an eagle, staring closely at Ye Shuyao below.
