Chapter 408 Stay
Su Fengjun clenched his fists, while He Yuhuan slowly raised his eyes.
"It's alright, Master, it's alright, please don't look at me like that."
They wanted to know more than just whether anything was wrong; there were other things too, such as...
They dared not imagine what would happen next, but if there were one more, they really wouldn't be able to handle it.
But as long as the body is alright, then that's all we can do.
Zhongli Yueluo was soaking in the thick medicinal soup.
The wounds on my body gradually became numb and stopped hurting.
Chang Yu Muling stayed by her side, and after a while, he reached in to test the temperature inside.
If it's not hot enough, he'll use his magic to heat it up again.
His breathing was very even, and perhaps because his eyes were covered, he couldn't see what Zhongli Yueluo looked like.
Zhongli Yueluo's eyes were half-closed as she glanced at Chang Yu Muling, who was blindfolded; he truly couldn't see.
He then swirled his hand in the water a couple of times, and after hearing the voice, asked, "Do you want it warmer?"
"This temperature is just right."
He touched the edge of the bucket, and Zhongli Yueluo's fingers brushed against his, without him moving away.
"May I remove the strip of cloth?"
Zhongli Yueluo did not answer, but instead raised her hand to help him untie the strips of cloth.
Perhaps because they hadn't seen the light for a long time, their eyes were misty when they opened them, but Zhongli Yueluo's eyes were bright and sparkling.
She had lost some weight, and he hadn't seen her this closely in a long time. His hand involuntarily touched her face.
"Yueluo, you've lost a lot of weight."
"It's because we've all grown up, Mu Ling."
His eyes slowly darted elsewhere, finally settling on Chang Yu Muling's hand.
Gently intertwining your fingers with his, looking at him with demure eyes, is something no one could resist.
"Why not go find Brother Chang'an?"
Chang Yu Muling gripped her hand tighter, her brows furrowed, a hint of jealousy in her expression.
"I'm afraid I'll fall into Qianqiu Changhuan's hands before I even get there, and what you'll see then will be a cold corpse."
The wording was so terrifying that it made his hand tremble.
"So you won't go back to the Yan Mansion?"
Zhongli Yueluo shook his head. He wouldn't be going back anytime soon, and they might never see each other again until the plan was completed.
Perhaps he was so overwhelmed by the secret joy in his heart that he didn't think about many logical things.
He carefully grasped Zhongli Yueluo's other hand: "Can we stay here indefinitely?"
"I'll be the Earth King soon, I can do it too, right?"
"I'm sorry, Mu Ling, I can't lie to you, it would be too unfair to you."
"Moreover, if you take me in, it means you will be making enemies of the Yan family head-on."
Chang Yu Muling's eyes curved into crescents as he smiled affectionately. He didn't care that Zhongli Yueluo was telling him the truth.
She couldn't bear to lie to him, but he was willing to be lied to by her, and he had been lying to her for so many years.
A few days ago
夜谋
Several people sat around a table, just like their future selves.
"Sister, I won't allow you to put yourself in danger. Isn't there any other way?"
Su Fengling slammed his hand on the table, and the table shook three times.
Su Fengjun stood beside her with his arms crossed, his brows furrowed. He was still worried about Zhongli Yueluo's safety.
After all, Changyu Xuanyuan is not so easy to deal with.
"Ruoyu, you'll have to go all out then. It'll be tough. Queen Yu will have to put on a show for us."
How could Yan Ruoyu possibly kill her? After so many years together, don't they understand each other?
Zhongli Yueluo took a deep breath and stood up: "We can't just stand by and watch Changyu Xuanyuan do evil."
"Moreover, according to Feng Jun's investigation, the magic he constructed uses the entire mountain as a medium, so we must take precautions as soon as possible."
Yan Ruoyu didn't understand. Even if they successfully swapped souls, so what? What could the Changyu Clan do to the Yan Clan?
Seemingly sensing Yan Ruoyu's confusion, Zhongli Yueluo spoke again.
"But if there's a type of witchcraft that your Zhen clan can't counter, are you afraid?"
This statement was extremely damaging; their only advantage was their ability to counter witchcraft...
"As far as I know, Changyu Xuanyuan has cultivated a combination of witchcraft and some kind of magic, and is good at bewitching people's hearts."
"We have to gain their complete trust, so this is going to be a big show."
"But you're already deeply immersed in the role; it's not worth it." Yan Ruoyu still refused.
Whether something is worthwhile or not is never determined by us, but by the people of the world.
At that moment, he stood there, so small and weak, yet he looked so tall and imposing.
If Changyu Xuanyuan were to truly realize her ambitions, she might overthrow the entire East Demon Mountain, leaving behind a trail of corpses for miles around!
"Sister, then promise me you will never go easy on Chang Yu Muling."
Su Fengling gritted his teeth. He knew that once Zhongli Yueluo made a decision, it was never going to change.
"I know, but he is an innocent man, and we need him very much."
"Put yourself first in everything."
Su Fengjun looked at her but didn't say much; he had more important things to do.
Then came the scene that Zhongli Yueluo and Yan Ruoyu orchestrated themselves.
Chang Yu Muling looked at Zhong Li Yueluo with a lingering affection and gently rubbed her palm.
"Yue Luo, stay by my side forever. I will give you anything you want."
"Is this what you truly feel, or did someone teach you to say it?"
Chang Yu Muling paused, then blurted out those words without thinking.
Was he sincere? Of course, but that's not what he meant.
Even if there is no love between them, it doesn't matter, as long as he stays by his side.
He liked the feeling of being with her; he could let go of everything else.
"You once said that we stopped at liking each other, so I will continue to like you and there will never be any tired of you."
She laughed, then buried herself completely in the medicinal soup, even her hair sinking into it.
He grabbed her and pulled her head out of the water, exhausted.
"Yue Luo!" He was extremely nervous.
"I'll tell you a secret, my name is Zhongli Yueluo."
She tilted her head and looked at him innocently. He looked at her with a hint of doubt, and then he smiled.
"Then wouldn't I have been calling you by the most intimate name from the very beginning?"
His smile was genuinely happy.
Zhongli Yueluo thought he would press her for details, asking why she had the surname Zhongli and why she had lied to him.
But he was glad that he had called her affectionately from the beginning.
"Yue Luo? Yue Luo... Yue Luo!"
Ignoring her wet clothes, he held her in his arms, both gently and heavily.
I was afraid of hurting her, but I was also afraid of letting her run away.
"Mu Ling".
"Yue Luo, will you stay by my side?"
He rubbed against her hand affectionately, like a kitten; it was warm and so comforting.
Do you want me to stay?
"I hope so, is it possible?"
"Okay, I'll stay, I'll stay by your side, forever..."
Chang Yu Muling's eyes trembled as he pulled her out of the tub, water splashing everywhere.
