After being forced into marriage, the metaphysical master became the darling of the richest family.

Chapter 778

As she spoke, she gently reached out to touch the kitten in Jin Yize's arms.

He noticed a hint of resentment in her palm and wanted to test her.

An Jiuxi's pupils contracted slightly, and spiritual energy emanated from her body, directly repelling the woman's hand!

"hiss!"

An Jiuxi's spiritual energy has the effect of dispelling evil spirits, let alone Yun Miao's resentful energy disguised as spiritual energy.

Even this small amount of overflowing spiritual energy was enough to make her palms uncomfortable for days!

"Phew, looks like she doesn't really like me."

Yun Miao pretended to shrug casually, but her subconscious half-step back betrayed her true thoughts.

The group chuckled inwardly, realizing that Yun Miao was capable of saying anything to dispel their doubts.

The rest of the journey is likely to be quite interesting.

"We haven't gotten the dragon scales yet, it seems we have to go back to Youzhen."

Jin Yize rummaged through the ashes of Mayor Nie and Nie Chen earlier, but couldn't find the dragon scale that they said they carried with them.

"Anyway, we don't have anything else to do, so let's go back and rest for a day before leaving tomorrow morning."

Shi Wenfu yawned wearily. After spending several days in the illusionary realm, even they, with their good health, were starting to feel the strain.

Since the threat from Youzhen has disappeared, I might as well go back and get some rest.

"Exactly, it's only a little past eight in the morning. If we start heading straight ahead, we'll be exhausted."

Bai Pu yawned, but his gaze drifted towards Yun Miao's direction.

"I have no objection," Yun Miao said calmly, but she was actually curious about the dragon scale that Jin Yize had mentioned.

At this point in time, there are still dragon scales?

Dragons, weren't they all extinct?

Clearly, Yun Miao had forgotten the attack she suffered at the foot of Baiyu Snow Mountain last time.

"Then go back."

Jin Yize held An Jiuxi in his arms and walked ahead first.

Upon seeing this, Yunmiao immediately hurried after him.

"Yize, even if it's because of those rumors, and perhaps because there's a double for me, you don't have to be so cold to me, do you? Everyone else believes me... except you, I..."

Yun Miao pursed her lips in grievance, hoping that her face, combined with An Jiuxi's, would elicit a trace of guilt and pity from the man.

Unbeknownst to her, Jin Yize's eyes were filled with disgust when he saw her like this!

"I'm just being cautious. If you really mean it, I'll apologize to you later, but I can't gamble on something uncertain right now."

Jin Yize lowered his eyes, suppressing his discomfort, and spoke with a helpless tone.

"Xiaoxi, you used to understand my actions, so why are you being unreasonable now?"

Yunmiao was taken aback.

Recalling her previous interactions with Jin Yize, An Jiuxi felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

"Yize, but you didn't treat me like this before."

Jin Yize's eyes flashed. "People change, and besides, we have more important things to do right now. If you really mean it, I'll make it up to you in the future. You can understand me, right?"

The man's words sounded particularly awkward to Yun Miao.

But I don't know where to begin or how to begin explaining this awkward feeling.

"I understand you."

She forced a smile, watching the man carry the cat and stride forward without looking back.

"What exactly went wrong? Or has he actually sensed something?"

Yun Miao frowned and murmured softly.

I thought to myself, I'll find an opportunity to test the waters next time.
