Chapter 296: Whose Young Man is on the Road?

The ginkgo trees covering the mountains trembled in the wind, their slender petioles swaying and their fan-shaped leaves bobbing layer upon layer, like the gently rippling surface of a lake in a breeze. Each snow-white ginkgo fruit, like starlight falling into the water, appeared and disappeared among the leaves.

It has a very faint and delicate fragrance.

I rested my chin on my hand, sitting on the trunk at the top of the tree, looking at the man sitting opposite me.

Faint ink-wash patterns swirled on his robes, a light blue garment with nearly identical silk embroidery at the collar and cuffs, exquisitely delicate and understated. His features, sculpted as if translucent in the sunlight, were flawless, poreless, and subtly luminous. His eyes were slightly lowered, his long eyelashes obscuring his jewel-like pupils. A blue bamboo flute partially concealed the slight smile playing on his lips.

The melodious sound of the flute blends with the sound of the wind... exquisitely clear... exquisitely beautiful...

A line of poetry suddenly popped into my mind: "Spring outing, apricot blossoms fill my hair, on the roadside whose young man is so dashing..."

Without realizing it, I began to hum a tune, lost in a reverie. Suddenly, the flute music stopped. I looked up in surprise and saw Mo Yu sitting opposite me, a flute in his hand, looking at me with a half-smile, his eyes full of teasing.

"Whose young man is this on the road? Hmm?" His voice was deep as he leaned close to my ear, a low chuckle in his voice, his breath warm against the back of my ear, tickling me.

My face suddenly burned intensely; it must have turned bright red. I felt anxious, ashamed, and angry, afraid that he would kiss me suddenly like he always did, making me dizzy and weak. In a panic, I leaned back and pushed him away, saying, "Go away, go play your flute."

Behind me was nothingness. I screamed and almost fell. An arm pulled me up just in time, pulled me into a hug, buried its head in the back of my neck, and chuckled softly. I was still shaken and felt a little embarrassed. I laughed awkwardly, "Hehe. This tree is really annoying."

Mo Yu gently pinched my nose, looking at me with a smile, "What did I tell you? Don't even think about escaping me, you can't escape anyway, can't you remember?"

That arrogant tone and confident look in his eyes. I was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but feel annoyed. "What? What do I have to do with you? You want to arrest me? Pshaw! Go ahead and run." So what if you saved me? Humph!

Chapter 297: Radiance

Mo Yu chuckled lazily, a slight smile playing on his lips. "I don't need to catch you. Watching you cause trouble everywhere, having so much fun, is quite amusing. At worst, I'll play along. As for our relationship?" He paused, then glanced at me sideways, a half-smile on his face, yet utterly serious. "Girl, you've been mine for a long time. Don't you realize that by now?"

As I listened to the first half of his sentence, I was speechless, my lips twitching as I wondered how to react. Suddenly, I saw his expression change, and while I was still in a daze, I heard the second half of his sentence and almost choked.

...Ahem... He said, Wh-what?!

That sounds so... awkward... and... ambiguous...

My face flushed red, and I was so angry I almost jumped off the tree. Pointing at his face, I yelled, "You filthy fox, what nonsense are you spouting?! What do you mean by 'you're my person'? What do I know? What do you know?! I have absolutely no relationship with you! Don't spread rumors!"

I glared at the sly, wicked-looking guy, so angry I couldn't contain myself, and proudly raised my chin.

Hmph! I, Lin Qingyan, have always been free. I don't want to, and will never, belong to anyone! I'm going to take that little perverted fox home with me. I don't want to stay in your time and space.

"Is that so?" The fox replied casually with a smile, ignoring my anger. He raised an eyebrow in a good mood, leaned lazily against the tree trunk, and smiled slightly, his gaze fixed on the distant horizon. His tone was relaxed and cheerful. "Girl, tell me, where do we go from now on? What do we do?"

Uh... what?

I was taken aback, somewhat disdainful of his sudden change of topic. Tch, if he can't win an argument, he won't argue. He's cunning, isn't he? However, I pursed my lips and emphasized again, "What do you mean by 'we'? Where I go in the future, what I do in the future, is none of your business! Let's be clear, you are you, and I am me, okay?"

"Well, although Mysterious Valley is beautiful and unparalleled in the world, with your free-spirited and playful nature, it's unlikely you could stay there for long. How about this, I'll accompany you on your travels around the world, and when you miss home, we'll come back for a while. What do you say?"

His face was serene, his eyes slightly narrowed. His long, slender, white hands, holding the flute, were intertwined and gently placed against his chest, his robes fluttering lightly in the air. Seeing me standing there speechless for a while, he turned to look at me, a glint of light flowing in his eyes—a light so dazzling, so incredibly bright, it seemed to... happiness...

Chapter 298: Daring Not to Touch

"What's wrong?" Mo Yu's voice was clear and magnetic. He gazed at me, a faint smile appearing in his eyes.

"Uh..." I suddenly felt a little flustered, trying my best to ignore the strange, inexplicable feeling in my heart, and turned my gaze away. "Tch, who would believe that? Aren't you always the most protective of your Skywalking Kingdom? Like a mother hen protecting her chicks, you don't trust anyone, as if anyone is a threat to your country. How could you possibly go far away?" Speaking of which, when I first came here, because he saw me fall from the sky, he kept interrogating me all day long, making me feel like a research guinea pig. Humph!

Thinking about it made me angry. I glared at him fiercely.

"That one?" Mo Yu chuckled, gently twirling the flute in his hand before tapping it on my nose. "Little vixen, I did that on purpose. Who told you to hit me like that?"

"You!" I exclaimed angrily. I wanted to say something, but then I was speechless. Well, it seems like I was in the wrong. Besides, if I hadn't fallen on him, I probably would have been knocked unconscious, and my soul might have left my body and returned to my own timeline to use the monster body my master made for me. Come to think of it, he's saved me twice. Oh well, for the sake of him saving me twice, I won't hold it against him.

"Moreover," Mo Yu sighed leisurely, "ten years have passed, and it's time to end Father's dying wish. From now on, let Yuwen Ke manage Tianxing himself; he has already grown strong enough."

Yuwen Ke...

Yuwen Ke...

Upon hearing this name, I suddenly fell silent and gently bit my lower lip.

Suddenly, I felt like I was back there again.

I still remember that day outside Gushan City. I had just escaped from Meng Tai. He was dressed in black, his figure lonely and desolate, his face cold as he emerged from behind a boulder. The sheer joy on his face when he saw me, the tight, trembling embrace, the warm drop of liquid that suddenly fell onto my neck, and the breathtakingly beautiful smile on his face as he spun me around in the valley… Suddenly, those vivid, unforgettable memories were etched deep into my heart… So beautiful…

—Also outside Gushan City, amidst that raging thunder and lightning, that earth-shattering calamity, in the suffocating pressure, that faint, blood-red figure, and amidst the blinding white light, me, holding the blood-red light, trembling alone at the heart of the cataclysm, that intense feeling in that instant… and… terror and… resolute…

...

Two scenarios, two extremes...

We must not forget...

Unforgivable... I dare not touch it...

Chapter 299: The Fox King

Flowers bloom in profusion, and grasses grow lush and green. Although autumn is in full swing, it is still as warm as spring here. Yellow chrysanthemums are in full bloom, and a few docile deer graze leisurely in the distance.

Before the precipice, four young men with clear, innocent eyes exchanged glances, then their gazes fell on the hand of the leading scholar. In his hand was an old map, its surface yellowed with age.

The four men studied each other's heads for a while, then raised their heads suspiciously, staring at the towering cliff in front of them. According to the map, the place they were going to was somewhere below the cliff.

But, but, this cliff face is as flat as if it were cut by a knife, and there is no place marked on the map.

"Huang Yan, are you sure you're not mistaken? This can't be the place, right?" Jin Ling rubbed his sore eyes and yawned.

Huang Yan glared at him with some annoyance, and after a long while, he managed to squeeze out a sentence, "The scholar's map is good, so there's no way I could have gone wrong."
