three

Si Yu smiled and shook his head, saying: "Although there are many ordinary people in this world, there are also exceptional individuals among them."

As soon as Mu finished speaking, he suddenly paused, his gaze continuously darting towards Si Yu, making Si Yu feel extremely uncomfortable, prompting her to ask, "What is it?"

"Miss Mu, you must return quickly!" Dong Bai shouted urgently upon seeing the situation.

"Master, why is Miss Mu so fragile?" Dong Bai's curious voice rang in my ears

The words in Mu's mouth were swallowed unconsciously, as if a nearly reverent force compelled her to quiet down. She set down the candied fruit and involuntarily turned her gaze towards Si Yu.

Miss Mu, you ask this question several times every day. If you are not tired, my ears are already tired..." Dong Bai, who was outside the carriage urging the horses, replied somewhat dejectedly.

Inside the carriage, Si Yu chuckled softly and said, "Mu Zhi, this time we have excellent horses to assist us. We have already traveled for half a month, and we only need to travel for another half a month to reach Yunzhou."

Finally, under the silence of Si Yu, Mu silently retracted the handkerchief and then quietly crawled out of the carriage, preparing to alleviate the awkward atmosphere

"Hey, have you heard of the Thousand-Layer Flower?" Mu Zhi suddenly asked.

"Dong Bai, how much longer until we reach Yunzhou?" On the carriage, Mu Zhi's voice rang out once again

Si Yu couldn't help but smile, "What brings this up?"

She sat up, took out a handful of melon seeds, and began to crack them nonchalantly, asking as she did so: "Si Yu, have you ever been to Yunzhou?"

Thousand-layer flower? Of course

Si Yu's movements paused momentarily, and her expression became momentarily stiff.

What Mu did not expect at all was that Dong Bai, who usually drove with great steadiness, actually made a mistake this time

Without waiting for Si Yu to ask, Mu straightened her chest and said with righteous indignation: "This young lady only seeks to become immensely wealthy"

Uh... Dong Bai was somewhat perplexed, as this Qian Luo flower only exists within their Celestial Clan... How could outsiders possibly know about it

Mu's face flushed slightly, yet her heart was at ease. After all, she had already been caught in a predicament by Si Yu before, so there was no need to put on a pretense. Any feelings of embarrassment could surely be cast aside, especially since they might not have another opportunity to meet after parting ways.

Mu gritted his teeth, just about to curse, when he suddenly heard Si Yu's gentle voice unexpectedly rise, "What happened?"

Only two loud bangs were heard, one back hit the car wall, and one head struck the car wall, both appearing quite disheveled

Mu Zhi's body crashed violently into Si Yu's embrace, her lips harshly brushing against his cheek. Si Yu was jolted awake, instinctively reaching out to push her away, but his palm encountered two unusually soft mounds.

Dong Bai rolled his eyes and resolved to ignore it

Mu Zhi was carried back to the carriage by Si Yu. It was only at this moment that she realized there is no such thing as the most embarrassing situation in this world, only more embarrassing ones

Suddenly, the carriage jolted violently, and Mu Zhi lost his balance, tumbling forward.

His sitting posture is very proper, and even when he is asleep, he still maintains an elegant demeanor

"What brings you to seek Qianluohua?" Si Yu pondered for a moment before ultimately giving in to the urge to ask.

Upon hearing this, Dong Bai was filled with righteous indignation and exclaimed: "Scum! Perv! Degenerate! Must be dismembered into eight pieces!"

Mu Zhi had not yet had time to react when the carriage jolted violently once more, and he was thrown out directly.

The shameless Mu soon "woke up" quietly, and there was no sign of tension on Si Yu's face. Upon seeing her awake, Si Yu merely smiled gently, as if she had seen through all of her tricks.

Almost simultaneously, the two individuals jumped apart in opposite directions as if they were being scorched by fire, moving at an extremely rapid pace

This person truly lives up to his name, exuding a gentle and serene demeanor akin to that of jade. He sits there, and his entire presence is of a caliber that ordinary individuals cannot compare to

Mu Zhi, who had been thrown into a pile of grass by the roadside, spat out the weeds in his mouth with a look of utter despair on his face

"I apologize..." Si Yu was the first to speak

He only knows that as long as he and Mu Zhi stagger their sleeping times, they will not dream of each other. Therefore, during this period, he has been avoiding falling asleep at the same time as Mu Zhi.

However, Mu Zhi's thoughts were completely opposite; she wished she could dream every day, so that she could find clues about her dream lover. Therefore, she slept day and night without giving Si Yu any opportunity to take advantage.

"Mu's stunning beauty will surely attract a good match." This was merely a casual remark from Si Yu, but after saying it, he slightly furrowed his brows. For some reason, the thought of Mu finding a good match in the future made him feel somewhat uneasy.

Upon hearing the phrase "defiled innocence," Si Yu lowered his head once more. When he heard "sinking into the river," his gaze slightly sharpened. Upon hearing "dismembered into eight pieces," he fell into silence.

Had she known this would be the case, she should have remained honestly in the carriage

Of course, having lived for so many years, I have never even seen the shadow of a demon. If there were really demons, how could the world be so peaceful?" Mu Zhi raised his chin and said with certainty

"Miss Mu, are you alright?" A loud and chaotic voice came from behind.

Do I have a grudge against you?

For some reason, scenes from her dreams suddenly flashed through her mind, and Mu Zhi's face suddenly grew warm, as she unexpectedly imagined that person from her dream to resemble Si Yu

Never

This is the first time in history that he feels utterly helpless in the face of what is happening to him

"Yes, yes, yes, but if you can let me arrive in Yunzhou by tomorrow, I would be even happier!" Mu Zhi took out the preserved fruits prepared in the carriage, eating while speaking.

"It's nothing, it's nothing... I was the one who wronged you first..." Mu Zhi felt that she had never been this embarrassed in her life, yet she still pretended to be calm. Not only did she graciously wave her hand, but she also took out a handkerchief and handed it to Si Yu, saying, "Here, wipe your face."

It will still take another half a month? Mu felt a wave of disappointment.

Why is she pretending to be dizzy when there is nothing wrong with her

Mu felt a sudden flush on his face at the astonished gaze of his superior, Yu

She has fallen to the ground in a terrible state, how could she be fine

What on earth is going on?

With this thought, Mu felt a sense of ease wash over him.

My friend was originally able to become a priestess of the shrine, but she was dishonored by him, losing her qualifications as a priestess and was nearly executed by being drowned in the river for public display. If I find him, I will surely dismember him!" Mu Zhi fiercely bit into a candied fruit, looking as if she was sharpening her knives.

It is a pity that among people, the dragon and phoenix have their destined partners, while ordinary women can only match with common men.

Miss Mu, this is much faster than walking for three months by yourself

Si Yu weakly closed her eyes

Mu Zhi waved her hands repeatedly and said, "No, what this young lady is seeking is not a good match."

You can't help but fall!

Mu's desire to curse was instantly swallowed back down her throat; almost immediately, she rolled her eyes and pretended to faint

Is that so? I haven't heard of it either. Therefore, I was eager to go to Yunzhou to look for clues.

A villain drew a thousand-layer flower on my friend, and I must help her find the culprit! Whenever Mu mentions this matter, she becomes emotionally agitated, almost revealing herself.

... ...

I have heard that Yunzhou is quite unique, not under the jurisdiction of the court, yet it is very prosperous. Whether they are extraordinary individuals or criminals, they all love to go there. I have also heard that there are legendary demon-slaying masters!" Mu generously shared the hearsay with Si Yu, "But where do demons come from in this world? These demon-slaying masters are most likely just con artists.

They can no longer find a spouse! Having seen your extraordinary beauty, which woman in this world would still be willing to marry those ordinary men?

"I haven't heard of it," Si Yu calmly interrupted Dong Bai.

"Hey, I say, Suyu, you can't possibly be the male demon from that play, can you?" Mu Zhi chuckled somewhat lewdly, "If all demons looked like you, then all mortal men would be doomed"

Mu noticed that Si Yu showed no signs of waking up and could not help but lean forward. Although they had been sharing the same carriage for some time, she had never dared to stare at him openly. Now that she had the opportunity, she naturally could not let it slip by, as admiring a handsome man is indeed one of life's great pleasures

At this moment, Mu Zhi and Dong Bai were vigorously campaigning against the "scum." As a party involved in being labeled as "scum," Si Yu rubbed his eyes, which were heavy with dark circles from lack of sleep, and soon fell into a deep slumber

Si Yu listened and couldn't help but smile slightly, asking: "Do you think there are no demons in this world?"

Mu secretly criticized, and after the initial embarrassment, she suddenly noticed a pleasant scent lingering at the tip of her nose. It was the fragrance of Si Yu, elegant and gentle, just by smelling it one could imagine what kind of modest gentleman this person was

It is truly ... ... quite shameless ... ...

Seeing that Si Yu was silent, Mu Zhi continued to speak at length, "I think these demons are just made up in plays and stories. Usually, a down-and-out scholar will encounter a lovesick female demon, and then he will rise to success... Just kidding, if there really were demons, with my current plight, why hasn't a lovesick male demon come to rescue me?"

Mu Zhizheng and Dong Bai were cursing with great satisfaction. When he raised his eyes, he found that Si Yu had already fallen asleep while sitting.

... ...

In Mu's perception, such a person should be aloof and unapproachable, yet he is unexpectedly very casual and gentle

Si Yu slightly lowered her head, feeling an inexplicable sense of shame
