Liu Huo watched Mu Shuiqi excitedly chatting with Bing You, and the depression in his heart became more and more intense. He walked forward with a cold face and stood beside Mu Shuiqi.

Mu Shuiqi didn't seem to notice Liu Huo's abnormality, and was still chattering with Bing You about the interesting things that happened recently.

Bing You listened with a smile, occasionally responding, her eyes always gently fixed on Mu Shuiqi.

"...Chouchou is getting treatment at the Old Demon Tree. They say his tail will grow back in a few days."

"Well, I'm glad you are all okay." Bingyou said softly.

Sensing Liu Huo's unfriendly gaze, Bing You turned slightly to look at Liu Huo and asked Mu Shui Qi, "Who is this?"

Mu Shuiqi hurriedly introduced: "Bingyou, he is Liu Huo from Guiya Mountain. Liu Huo, this is Bingyou, my..."

For a moment, I didn't know how to introduce Bingyou.

Friend? Savior?

Bingyou and Liuhuo both frowned at the same time, each with different thoughts in mind.

"...My good friend." She smiled.

When Liu Huo heard this, his brows furrowed even more.

Bingyou and Liuhuo looked at each other.

I have only heard of each other's names but never met them in person.

Liu Huo spoke first, his tone tinged with coldness: "I've long heard of the Ice God's name. Seeing him today, I can see he's truly extraordinary."

Bing You remained calm and composed, and responded politely, "Your Excellency, thank you for your compliment."

Mu Shuiqi noticed the atmosphere was a little awkward and hurriedly tried to smooth things over with a smile: "Oh, it's a rare opportunity to meet in this ghost market. Shall we go shopping together?"

Neither man said anything, with an indifferent attitude.

Liu Huo's eyes never left Bing You. He thought to himself, this man seemed gentle and kind, but why did he feel that he had other feelings for Mu Shui Qi?

This feeling made him very unhappy.

Bing You still maintained her elegant demeanor and walked slowly behind Mu Shuiqi.

Along the way, Mu Shuiqi was like a cheerful little bird, looking at this stall and talking about that snack, trying to get the two of them into the cheerful atmosphere.

But Liu Huo and Bing You only responded occasionally, their minds still on observing and speculating about each other.

Mu Shuiqi just thought that it was their first meeting, they were unfamiliar with each other and were both a little reserved.

There was a man selling sugar-roasted chestnuts up ahead, so Mu Shuiqi ran over to buy a pound. She gave them each a handful.

Bingyou was peeling chestnuts slowly as he walked. Liuhu had never eaten this before, so he followed Bingyou's instructions and learned how to peel chestnuts.

There were people performing acrobatics not far away, and Mu Shuiqi joined in the fun. Bing You put all the peeled chestnuts into her hands, leaving only one for himself to taste.

Mu Shuiqi was startled, "Don't you like to eat?"

"Chestnuts are delicious."

Bingyou's expression was hidden under the mask, and she couldn't see it, but she could tell from his tone that he was happy.

"Then why don't you eat?"

"I'll peel them for you. I don't want to hurt your hands from peeling them." Bing You took the remaining chestnuts from her hand and prepared to peel them all for her and put them in the bag and return them to her.

After not seeing each other for a few days, Bingyou became so considerate to her, which was really unexpected. Her heart was like a bird that had been freed, jumping for joy.

But he didn't dare to show his happiness too obviously, for fear of suppressing the emotions that Bingyou had finally managed to express.

She secretly turned her head and smiled like a flower.

Liu Huo, who was standing silently by, felt depressed for some reason when he saw the two of them being so close.

"It's just peeling some chestnuts, why are you so happy?" Liu Huo glanced at her lightly.

Bingyou was peeling chestnuts seriously. The sound of the acrobatic performance was very lively. Mu Shuiqi was between Bingyou and Liu Huo, so she didn't hear what Liu Huo said.

Mu Shuiqi looked at Liu Huo with a warning look: "Keep your voice down."

"Tell him to give me the chestnuts."

"Why, you want to eat alone?"

“…I can peel chestnuts, too.”

"Oh, anyone can peel it."

Liu Huo was anxious: "I mean, I can peel chestnuts for you too."

There was a subtle scent in the air, and Mu Shuiqi only then realized that something was wrong with Liu Huo.

"Why are you so kind to me?" Mu Shuiqi narrowed her eyes and looked at him, "Could it be that you have already recognized me as your sister?"

Mu Shuiqi felt secretly happy.

She was willing to treat Liu Huo as her younger brother, and as long as he called her sister, she would definitely treat him well.

Liu Huo would never have thought that Mu Shuiqi would be involved in this matter. Her train of thought is very strange!

The corners of his mouth twitched violently, and he angrily threw the chestnuts she had given him at her.

"I'll give it back to you. I don't want to eat it anymore." He was so angry that he didn't want to eat anything.

Bingyou was attracted by Liu Huo's rough movements. He handed the peeled chestnuts to Mu Shuiqi and asked her, "Are you okay?"

He was referring to the incident where Liu Huo threw chestnuts at her.

Mu Shuiqi shook her head and whispered closer to him, "It's okay. Liu Huo is narrow-minded and prone to anger."

Bing You said with a half-smile, "Why did you and him come here?"

"I couldn't sleep and was bored, so he brought me here to play."

"Oh." Bingyou raised her eyes and glanced at Liu Huo over her head.

At this time, Liu Huo was also staring at him with ill intentions.

When their eyes met, it was like the clash of sharp blades, and without a word, the swords and sabers had already pierced into each other's bodies.

Mu Shuiqi was immersed in the joy of eating chestnuts and watching acrobatics, and was completely unaware of the complex auras of the two men on her left and right.

"Bingyou, you usually don't like to join in the fun, so why are you here at the ghost market tonight?"

Mu Shuiqi suddenly remembered to ask this question.

Based on her understanding of Bingyou, he must have come here for something important.

"I just came here for a walk because I was bored." Bing You looked at her deeply.

There were some things he was not comfortable saying in front of Liu Huo.

He came to visit a wise old man living in the ghost market, who knew how to cure the poison of the leaf bollworm.

He had also investigated clearly and found out that the leaf bollworms used by the flower god were bought from the ghost market.

The leaf bollworm's detoxification method is unique and embarrassing to talk about.

He had no way of telling her the specific method of detoxification, so he put the matter aside for the time being.

Besides, her bollworm poison hasn't taken effect yet. If she waits a little longer, she might be able to find a new antidote.

Mu Shuiqi couldn't believe it: "No way, you also get bored sometimes?"

"Of course." Bingyou nodded.

Liu Huo said sarcastically, "Living too long isn't necessarily a good thing. You'll spend so much time bored!"

It's really rude to speak so directly! Mu Shuiqi rolled her eyes at Liu Huo angrily, "It seems you have quite some experience."

Liu Huo was choked by her and was so angry that he didn't want to talk.

Bing You smiled, not minding Liu Huo's sarcasm. Living long not only creates more boredom, but also tempers one's mind into a state of calm.

A broad mind can accommodate all rivers.

Seeing a little bit of chestnut shell lining on the corner of her mouth, Bingyou raised her hand to remove it for her.

His movements were gentle and natural, and he seemed to have a very close relationship with Mu Shuiqi. Mu Shuiqi lowered her head slightly in shame and stood still obediently.

This made Liu Huo feel even worse. He didn't understand why he was acting this way. He had never encountered such a situation before and didn't know how to handle it.

"Hypocrisy." Liu Huo couldn't help but snort coldly.

Mu Shuiqi was so angry at Liu Yao's sarcasm that she wanted to kick him back to Guiya Mountain.

"Liu Huo, since you don't want to eat or play, why don't you go back first." Mu Shuiqi pushed him out.

Liu Huo's face twitched. "I brought you to the Ghost Market, and I have to take you back too."
