Mu Xue and Mu Xue

Zi Yuan stood in front of Lin Mo and Yan Liyu, her expression filled with helplessness. She said softly, "Your silly sister read all night long. She didn't close her eyes from last night until this morning and just fell asleep. Please don't disturb her. Just let her have a good sleep."

"Okay, then do you want to eat these?" Lin Mo pointed to the breakfast on the table and asked with concern.

"No, no, come on, go buy something with me. You don't have anything to do right now anyway."

As Ziyuan spoke, without waiting for the two to respond, he turned and walked towards the morning market, with a bit of urgency and casualness in his steps.

Lin Mo and Yan Liyu looked at each other, shrugged helplessly, and then hurriedly followed.

Along the way, bustling crowds of people shuttled past them, and various hawking sounds and laughter intertwined together, making it extremely lively.

Ziyuan's mind suddenly popped up the question that had been lingering in her mind yesterday. Coincidentally, Yan Liyu was right beside her, so she asked without hesitation, "What kind of elixir did you take yesterday?

The effect is so strong, and the side effects are almost negligible, how about you give me a few too?"

When Yan Liyu heard this question, his heart suddenly tightened and a trace of barely perceptible panic flashed across his face.

He really didn't want to answer this question. His brain was working fast for a moment, trying to find a suitable excuse.

At this critical moment, he thought of a plan quickly.

"Ah? Pills?" Yan Liyu raised his voice in feigned surprise, then forced a smile and explained, "Haha, those were a few pills my master left for me when he left. I've been keeping them carefully.

Who knew that the situation was so urgent yesterday, I gritted my teeth and ate it all.

It’s really not that I don’t want to give it to you!

"This elixir was originally meant to save my life. Look, I even used such a precious elixir for this competition and put in so much effort. Shouldn't I be given a larger share of the prize money?" Yan Liyu said firmly, his face full of confidence, as if everything he said was true.

Ziyuan listened quietly to Yan Liyu's explanation, her expression calm, making it impossible to guess whether she believed it or still had doubts.

In fact, Ziyuan had never expected to get any definite answer from Yan Liyu.

She always says whatever she thinks. This is the way of life her master taught her since she was a child.

In her opinion, people should act according to their own will, so why hide anything?

After all, in this vast world, there are only a handful of people who can compete with her master.

The three of them strolled around the morning market for a few rounds. During that time, Ziyuan picked out some daily necessities and bought a few small accessories.

Afterwards, they returned to their residence.

After taking a short rest, Lin Mo and Yan Liyu went to the Star Arena to watch the game.

Ziyuan returned to her room, holding an exquisite food box filled with delicious food for Muxue.

She gently placed the lunch box on the table, then sat down beside the bed, quietly waiting for Muxue to wake up.

Her eyes were full of tenderness and anticipation, and she hoped that Muxue could taste these delicious foods the moment she woke up.

Ziyuan tiptoed back to the room and saw Muxue still immersed in her dreams. Her peaceful face looked particularly peaceful in the mottled light and shadow coming through the window.

She sighed slightly, but the corners of her mouth unconsciously rose with a hint of pampering.

Ziyuan walked to the bed, sat down slowly, and picked up the unfinished novel that was placed next to the pillow.

The room was very quiet, with only the occasional sound of turning pages. The sunlight gradually shifted, and light and shadows moved slowly in the room.

Near noon, Muxue's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and then she slowly opened her eyes.

Half asleep, she saw Ziyuan sitting beside the bed, concentrating on reading a book, and called out softly, "I'm awake..."

When Ziyuan heard the voice, she immediately put down the book in her hand, a gentle smile bloomed on her face, and she said, "You're awake!

The food I bought for you this morning is already cold. I'll buy you something you want to eat, or we can go out to eat together."

Mu Xue rubbed her still confused head, thought for a moment, and said, "Let's go together."

The two walked out of their residence side by side. The streets were crowded with people, and all kinds of shops were selling goods, and shouts were heard one after another.

They came to a dumpling restaurant that looked quite busy.

Mu Xue is actually not particularly fond of dumplings and rarely eats them at home.

But she thought to herself that since she had come to a big city, she should change her taste. After all, she often heard people say that the food in big cities was much more delicious than that in her small place.

The steaming dumplings were served on the table. Mu Xue picked up one and put it in her mouth, chewing it carefully.

After eating, she silently compared them in her mind. The fact was before her, she didn't think the dumplings in big cities tasted that unique. They just had more meat in the filling and were much more expensive than those in small places.

However, the time she spent eating with Ziyuan made her feel very comfortable.

After lunch, the two of them walked slowly towards their residence.

The afternoon sun was a bit lazy, and it felt warm on their bodies. Just then, from a distance, Lin Mo's voice came over: "Xue'er! Master Ziyuan!" They saw Lin Mo and Yan Liyu walking towards them.

When Mu Xue heard the voice, a delighted smile suddenly appeared on her face, and she responded crisply: "Brother!"

Ziyuan also stopped, looked at them, and asked, "Have you finished playing this morning? What was the result? What was the score?"

"It's over, it's over." Lin Mo and Yan Liyu blurted out almost at the same time. They looked anxious and obviously couldn't wait to share the situation of the game. After they finished speaking, they looked at each other and laughed.

"Just say whatever you want to say." Lin Mo looked at Yan Liyu and said generously.

"Oh, no, no, you do it." Yan Liyu quickly declined.

"Okay, let me tell you." Lin Mo cleared his throat and looked serious. "The winner was the Sichuan Opera Academy. It's really strange. In the first game, they could have just sent that guy who could change his face, but they didn't, and ended up losing the game.

We only sent that guy into the ring in the next two games. As soon as he came on stage, the situation turned around instantly. They won the game with an overwhelming momentum. It can be said that they crushed the opponent!"

"That's right!" Yan Liyu nodded vigorously, agreeing with amazement, "That guy's ability is so strong that it doesn't even seem real.

He can switch between several facial expressions at will, and each one is so powerful that it is beyond imagination. The players who play against him are completely powerless to resist. He is simply not human!"

Ziyuan frowned slightly after hearing this, then relaxed and said comfortingly, "It's okay, it's okay. We've already won first place, haven't we? Did they say when the rewards will be distributed?"

"Yes, of course I did." Yan Liyu's eyes lit up. He became excited when he mentioned the reward. "You can claim it tomorrow, or this afternoon. I really want to know what the reward is!"

Having said that, Yan Liyu's eyes flashed with excitement, and he rubbed his hands unconsciously, as if he had already seen the tempting reward.
