How could someone as well-behaved as Sister Yue possibly be a playboy?

Once back above the center of Songzhou City, Ye Yueyue said to Qingbao beside her, "Quick, let's go!"

Without wasting any time, she stuck on a speed-up charm and ran!

Seeing the girl hurriedly running away, Xi Tuo immediately gave chase.

Glancing at the person behind her, Jian Youqing asked with some confusion, "What's wrong, Yuebao? Wasn't he... with us just now?"

Ye Yueyue fell silent for a moment upon hearing this, unsure of how to explain.

You can't exactly say she flirted with someone, can you?

"...Ahem, we'll talk about that later. Let's get out of here first!"

Ye Yueyue looked left and right, intending to use the same trick to blend into the crowd, but a slightly complicated voice came from behind her, and the next second, her hand was grabbed.

"……you."

She blinked, tears welling up in her eyes. "Brother, I was wrong!"

Xi Tuo paused, and saw the girl turn around with tears in her eyes, pursing her lips. Her delicate and pitiful appearance was undeniable.

"...I didn't intend to do anything."

Hearing this, Ye Yueyue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at him discreetly, and cautiously asked, "Really?"

He took in the girl's adorable little gestures, and Xi Tuo felt his heart flutter again.

Not particularly noticeable in the bustling crowd, yet impossible to ignore.

He nodded, his gaze falling on the girl's delicate face, and replied, "Mm."

Xi Tuo couldn't quite explain his feelings, but he didn't dislike the girl. Besides, she had saved him in the secret realm, and he couldn't bring himself to repay kindness with enmity.

He had originally intended to grab the girl and ask her why she did that, but once he actually caught her, he was at a loss for words.

Inexplicable.

Thinking of that scene, he felt a flush on his cheeks.

Jian Youqing, standing to the side, curiously observed the two of them, her eyes sparkling.

Seeing Xi Tuo's uncomfortable expression, and then Yue Bao's apology, a thought began to surface in her mind.

Yuebao couldn't be...!

Then Jian Youqing thought of Yuebao's unfamiliar face, and the fact that she ran away after recovering, which made her even more certain of her guess.

She moved her lips, realizing she really needed to hire a bodyguard...

"Brother, I'm sorry, don't be angry..."

The girl's voice came through, filled with remorse.

Xi Tuo wanted to say that he wasn't angry, but something felt off. He didn't know what to say for a moment, so he remained silent.

Seeing that his earlobes were red, Ye Yueyue knew that there was no danger.

Looking at his handsome face and feeling the warmth from his hand, a thought struck her. "Brother, I won't run away anymore, really! I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..."

"Um, I have something to do. How about this, add me on Lingjian, and I'll come whenever you need me!"

The girl's sincere expression left no room for doubt.

Xi Tuo nodded in agreement.

After the girl walked away, he suddenly remembered the girl's smiling voice when they parted last time.

Brother, I truly like you.

How could it not have been intentional...!

Xi Tuo suddenly came to his senses, but the ripples in his heart made him unable to control his joy.

At the same time, I was thinking about which statement was true.

……

Having escaped danger, Ye Yueyue let out a long breath, feeling somewhat amused.

As expected of someone from the Weapon Forging Alliance, a naive and inexperienced young man.

They're so easy to fool.

"Yuebao, you..."

Ye Yueyue looked up and saw that Qingbao's eyes were bright and she seemed excited, but she paused for a moment and then looked worried.

"It's okay, it's okay, he's easy to fool!" Ye Yueyue patted her reassuringly.

The two headed towards the Yunlai Inn.

Thinking of the cultivator's dazed look just now, Jian Youqing nodded in agreement.

They are indeed easy to fool.

She was initially worried, but seeing Yuebao's nonchalant attitude, she couldn't help but feel sorry for the cultivator.

"Yuebao, what did you lie to him about?"

After hesitating for a moment, Jian Youqing couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"It's nothing, just a kiss."

Just a kiss, that's all! ? ?

Jian Youqing opened her mouth, momentarily doubting whether she had misheard, and remained speechless for a long time. But looking at Yuebao's calm expression, she stammered, "Then, will you... become Daoist partners?"

"Isn't this too fast...?"

A blush swept across the girl's face, making her look radiant and beautiful.

Ye Yueyue smiled and ruffled her hair: "Of course not. My goal is ascension. It's true that God loves people, but He will never stay for them."

"Oh oh."

The girl's remarks were quite bold and subverted the usual norms. Jian Youqing was stunned and felt that her worldview had been impacted.

"I'm so great, it's normal for more people to like me, right?"

Ye Yueyue blinked and said seriously.

It seems so...

Jian Youqing nodded subconsciously, then paused for a moment before tentatively speaking, her eyes filled with worry: "It's good to like someone, but what if... what happens between them?"

"It's alright, let them fight it out. Anyway, I only love you. Men are just for fun!" Ye Yueyue took her hand, and the two entered the Yunlai Inn.

"it is good!"

Seeing Yuebao's firm attitude and indifferent appearance, Jian Youqing pursed her lips and made a decision in her heart.

She needs to cultivate diligently so that she can hire many powerful cultivators to protect Yuebao in the future.

The two rested well in Songzhou City for a few days.

Ye Yueyue secluded herself for several days and, with the help of spirit stones, successfully broke through to the late Foundation Establishment stage!

She stabilized her cultivation, then excitedly emerged from seclusion, prepared some food, and then happily knocked on Jian Youqing's door.

"Come in."

As soon as Ye Yueyue entered, she saw Qingbao drawing talismans.

Her expression was very serious, and her fingertips moved casually, drawing a streak of light in the air, each stroke pleasing to the eye.

Ye Yueyue didn't say anything. She put the food on the table next to her, sat down, and rested her chin on her hand to look at it.

Before long, a talisman imbued with spiritual power was completed.

The pale yellow talisman paper was printed with bright red characters, which contained a mysterious aura.

Jian Youqing let out a breath, smiled, and looked up at her: "You're here?"

"Mmm, just finished my seclusion! I've broken through! Hehe, now I can properly protect my little beauty!" Ye Yueyue said, pointing to the bowl of blood on the table, and asked with a question in her voice:

"What is this? Why not use cinnabar?"

There was a faint smell of blood in the air.

"It's the blood of a spirit deer. Combining it with cinnabar to draw high-level talismans will have an even better effect," Jian Youqing explained.

"Good."

Ye Yueyue nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

As long as it's not her own blood, it's fine; she knows nothing about talismans anyway.

Speaking of talismans, she suddenly realized that she hadn't refined pills in a long time, and hadn't touched the alchemy furnace since she went out to train.

Firstly, the pills were prepared before the training, and secondly, there wasn't much time.

She seems to have been stuck at the first-grade alchemist level for some time now.

After the two finished their meal, Ye Yueyue returned to her room, activated the isolation array, and entered the space.

Ye Yueyue first took a look around the herb garden. A gentle breeze blew by, and among the group of graceful spiritual plants, the Firefly Grass stood out.

It was planted alone in a corner, its branches emitting a faint glow, which was quite eye-catching.
