He's spoiled rotten; that wolf cub knows how to flirt and be affectionate.

The young man was tall and handsome, and perhaps it was the blue and white clothes that made him look better, but Lu Baiyu looked refined and noble. If you ignored the undercurrent in his eyes, he really was a dashing young nobleman.

One blue and one red.

One is aloof, the other is lively.

Although her liveliness was feigned, others didn't know it and imagined a wonderful drama between an ice fairy and a young admirer.

Too many eyes are on us.

Lu Baiyu lowered his eyes, a thin layer of frost forming in them.

I hate those guys who stare at my senior sister.

so annoying.

3333 kept urging Qu Yi: [Host!! Mission, mission! Last day!]

Qu Yi didn't answer, but instead led Lu Baiyu to the most bustling area.

Lu Baiyu thought Qu Yi didn't like to join in the fun, but he was wrong.

It was crowded and packed with people, their smells all mixed together. Lu Baiyu frowned, not wanting to breathe at all.

[Host!! Ren...]

The words stopped abruptly.

As the girl in red took the boy's hand, a system notification sounded: [Mission reminder triggered. Close protection mission begins. Ten minutes remaining.]

[Countdown begins...]

Lu Baiyu stared at Qu Yi in disbelief, only to see her return a calm look and say, "There are too many people, stay close."

Lu Baiyu remained silent for a long time, his fingertips twitching slightly.

"Ah."

Qu Yi led Lu Baiyu around like this until the countdown ended.

She had barely let go of his hand, and less than two seconds later, he took her hand again.

"With so many people, they'll get separated."

His brown eyes held the surrounding flowers, trees, and people coming and going.

And her reflection.

Qu Yi: "Is that all?"

Lu Baiyu pursed his thin lips, then, as if remembering something, revealed a faint smile: "I like it when my senior sister holds my hand."

"Now it's your turn to hold my hand."

"Then I like to hold my senior sister's hand."

That's pretty shameless.

But she's also quite likable.

After completing the time-limited task, Qu Yi will receive a reward.

Highly realistic rabbit ears

Qu Yi strongly suspects that the prop exhibition area is fake, otherwise how could it be so bizarre?

The red-banded snake hissed in dissatisfaction.

[Host, I heard you. Please do not question the system's impartiality.]

Yin Yuanqing was tricked by Qu Yi and was almost fully recovered when he was seriously injured by a masked man on the way.

When he woke up, he was in an ordinary clinic. He paid someone to go to the liaison point in Tianmen to report the news, and then he went home to recuperate.

His previous injuries hadn't healed, and now he was poisoned by an unknown toxin. His father, the leader of the Tianmen Sect, found the divine physician Shen Qianqiu for him, but they could only suppress the poison temporarily.

The search for Shen Qianqiu by Tianmen was quite extensive, and the news spread far and wide, naturally reaching the ears of Qu Yi and the others.

Qu Yi was somewhat surprised, but then stopped paying attention. Anyway, it wasn't her doing, so it had nothing to do with her.

Yu Ming looked at those who were talking about this matter with great enthusiasm and silently curled the corners of his mouth.

Detoxification?

Just dream.

The poison that Yin Yuanqing was poisoned was made by him, and the most important ingredient was the poisoned blood of his master when the poison took effect.

Although it's not as bad as the toxins in his master's body, it's still enough to make him suffer.

Lu Baiyu was very satisfied that Yin Yuanqing could not cause trouble and rewarded Yu Ming with a rare medicinal herb.

But his good mood didn't last long.

On this day, the sky was cloudless when I looked up, and a gentle breeze carried a slight chill on my face.

The chill seeped into Lu Baiyu's heart.

His face was icy cold as he stared at Yu Ming: "You're saying Senior Sister isn't here?"

Yu Ming presented the letter with both hands: "This is what I just obtained in the young lady's room."

Lu Baiyu snatched the letter and opened it.

He then clenched his teeth, his voice sounding as if it were being squeezed out of his throat.

"They just left like that..."

They left without saying goodbye, and didn't even explain where they were going.

He even said in the letter that he didn't want to wait any longer and would take Yu Ming back to Bright Moon Valley.
