ore vibrant."See you later..." she smiled as she walked to Lin Yanhuan's desk."What's the matter" Lin Yanhuan's tone was flat and distant."What's the matter It's just that your mom asked me to look af...I understand what Si Huang means; she wants to give Si Yun a chance to live.

Repeated betrayals, no matter how good-tempered Mu Wanchen was or how reluctant he was to take a life, Sihuang couldn't save him.

Mu Wanchen was very generous, but he wasn't a man without principles. He replied faintly, "It doesn't matter. Secrets like this, once known, can only stir up trouble in people's hearts. I only know that traitors have only one fate, whether it's an old monster, Siyun, or even that runaway Dragon King, they all have only one fate."

Sihua frowned and said in a low voice, “ … Let me interrogate him first, can I Siyun is after all my clansman. I can agree to his execution, but I also need to convince the others.”

Mù Wǎn Chén sheathed his sword and nodded. "Alright, Sī Huáng, I'm very lenient with you. You just need to manage your own people well, and you don't need to worry about other things. I promised to treat the Sī clan kindly, and I will keep my word. I also hope you can understand the situation."

Si Huang pursed her lips, seeming a little wronged as she pouted. This childish gesture vanished in an instant, and she immediately returned to her haughty demeanor, chin held high, and roared at Si Yun, "You're awfully bold, Si Yun! How come I never knew you were this brave Did someone give you courage"

She removed the mask from Siyun's face with a flute.

Beneath the mask, layers of black cloth wrapped around the face, only revealing the eyes, nostrils, and mouth. The cheeks were thin, giving it a strange appearance.

Si Yun gave a nonchalant shrug and rasped, "Si Huang, I don't need your pity! I handle my own affairs. Now that I look like this, life and death are meaningless! As long as it pains the arrogant Wuzhang, I am satisfied... Kikiki..."

"Is that so" Mu Wanchen uninterestedly hooked his finger, and the tiny scorpion gu spirit materialized on his back.

"Since you think life and death are meaningless, then I'll let you live in despair and die without peace."

Ling Zheng, following his words, landed like a flash of light towards Si Yun, suddenly jumping onto Si Yun's face and thrusting his raised tail needle down with a sting.

Its poison could paralyze a person, leaving them completely helpless. Si Yun lay stiffly on the ground, but his dim eyes glinted with madness.

He wasn't afraid of death at all, he seemed to run back with a certainty that he would die. What on earth was he trying to do

"Mu Wanchen…" I quietly tugged at the corner of his clothes, Mu Wanchen turned around, raised his hand to hold me, and enveloped me entirely in his embrace.

"What's wrong" he asked heavily.

“This man seems to be deliberately coming here to die. We should be on guard against any ulterior motives he might have… Don’t let him get his way, restrain him first.” I whispered as a reminder.

"Mmm," he nodded.

Si Huang is not far from us. She gave me a cold glance, her eyes not very friendly.

"The little princess still has a bit of brains, I thought you would want the Witch King to cut Siyun into ten thousand pieces for revenge." She coldly retorted.

"Kidnapping and imprisonment are crimes anywhere. Don't think you're above the law here. The problem is, he's a traitor now, not just my enemy. As someone who abides by the law, of course I won't seek revenge personally. I will definitely handle this impartially, right, Ah Liang" I pulled Ah Liang into the conversation.

He's quite the talker too. As soon as I started deflecting blame, he immediately chimed in: "That's right, our little princess is generous and fair, Miss Si Huang, you should learn a thing or two!"

Mu Wanchen looked around at the scene and said to me, "I'm going to repair the altar. You go back to Nanshan with your little junior sister first, and I'll come find you when I'm finished."

"So, the sacrifice is just interrupted like that" I was a bit upset. This was the first step of the wedding ceremony, wasn't it To be interrupted like this

Mu Wanchen was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly smiled faintly: “What’s the matter Are you in a hurry”

"I..."

"Don't worry, the auspicious day is tomorrow. Tonight...is a rehearsal." He said with a smirk.

What the heck! Is this a dress rehearsal with such a big crowd tonight

"Then why didn't you tell me!"

"To avoid spreading rumors, and because if you speak up, you'll start slacking off, refusing to change your clothes or even fix your hair." He said it as if it were obvious.

"Then you should tell me too! I need to be mentally prepared. See, these people suddenly appeared and almost scared me to death. Just because you have a good temper doesn't mean I do—"

I am in a bad mood.

Mu Wanchen suddenly reached out and stroked my temple hair, saying in a low voice: “...... Yin Luo, looking at you sitting at the table obediently combing your hair, where do I have any anger”

"Uh..."

"Let your anger simmer for a while, I'll appease you after I finish my work. For now, go with Xiao Shi Nü to Nanshan and wait for me there." He patted my shoulder.

I... How can I be angry with you like this

"Little mistress," I asked, my voice filled with indignation. "Do you know that Mu Wanchen was deliberately putting on a show tonight You just said something about blood worms being fake... I was wondering why he would even bother to pretend—"

The little wife pouted and said, "Little Yin Luo, you're so fierce! Mu Wanchen came to me for help, and I was also very embarrassed! Isn't this to help him keep his secrets and prevent the wind from leaking out..."

I still wanted to blurt out more, but when I suddenly caught my master's icy gaze, I straightened up and stammered, "No no… I wasn't being fierce, I was just too surprised. My voice got a little loud. Sorry, little wife…"

The little wife had a super good temper and smiled, nodding. "Alright, then you come with me to South Mountain and sleep for one night. Tomorrow, Mu Wanchen will come back to pick you up."

I nodded, behaving like a docile lamb under Master's aura.

It's terrifying, it seems like I have to speak softly to my junior wife from now on, or else Master will punish me.

The night in Nanshan was serene and tranquil, with no sign of being affected by the commotion.

"A place of Heavenly bliss means that no matter how noisy the worldly affairs are outside the mountains, the inside remains eternally tranquil with wild clouds and cranes, living in leisurely contentment."

The moonlight was like a wash, and the dew was heavy at the third watch.

My little wife arranged a cozy guest room for me, but I can't sleep at all.

This world is completely different from the one I grew up in. Everyone thinks differently, and even this small place still has its own schemes and struggles.

"Wow, Xiao Yinluo, you're not asleep yet!" Mu Xia Qiao pushed the door open holding a thick fluffy coat.

I think she's a truly gentle and clever woman. While ordinary people might be terrified and panicked when interacting with beings from another world, she seems completely at ease.

"I can't sleep, little wife," I replied honestly.

"...You don't need to worry about Mu Wanchen's. This is his territory. Last time the earthquake was so big, he could use magic to protect Wuwu Mountain City. Just an altar, it will be repaired soon and won't delay your wedding, hihi..."

She paused, crossed her arms and smiled at me: "Little Yin Luo, do you want to become my disciple"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!cret protection. Her family knows a lot of secrets, and Lin Yanhuan... also... indulges her quite a bit." I said resentfully.This ghost princess really knows how to pick people! How come she found Qi...
