Chapter 139: 1 A ray of longing comes like a dream
"Xiao Yue'er, now that we've arrived at the Acacia tree, why don't we hang a silk ribbon and make a wish. I heard that this tree is very magical. A wisp of lovesickness can bring you into your dreams, and the relationship will last for a hundred generations in your dreams." Yun Zhihe coaxed.
Qin Muyue nodded. She had already thought of a solution.
"Okay, I just have a wish I want to make."
Hua Ling also excitedly echoed: "I want to hang the ribbons too. I hope my wish can come true."
They came to the railing where the ribbons were hung, and Yun Zhihe and the two girls each took a ribbon and a sign.
Qin Muyue thought for a moment, then picked up a pen and wrote on the sign: "May the wishes of the people I like come true and live a smooth life."
Hua Ling wrote: "I hope all my friends can be happy."
Yun Zhihe raised a smile and wrote on the sign: There is only one person I love, and even mountains and seas can make him flat.
As soon as the Demon Lord arrived, he saw that Yun Zhihe and Qin Muyue had written the bond cards. He was immediately furious. Yun Zhihe, you came prepared!
The Demon Lord strode over and grabbed Qin Muyue's hand holding the sign. "Fairy Qin, can I do it for you?"
Yun Zhihe stared at the Demon Lord and the girl's folded hands, a trace of anger flashed across his rosy eyes, and his lips gradually straightened. He cursed the Demon Lord for being shameless and pulling with the girl in public.
If there weren't so many demons nearby, he would have used his ghost energy to kill this demon lord long ago.
The Demon Lord quickly picked up his pen and wrote down his wish: "I wish to be with Fairy Qin for the rest of my life."
They each tied the written ribbons and signs to the railings of the tree bridge, and the ribbons fluttered in the wind.
Qin Muyue looked at her sign swaying in the wind. The wish on it was very reasonable.
"Okay, now that the wish has been made, let's go for a walk around the area," Qin Muyue suggested. She thought that Acacia Tree was such a famous attraction, so there must be a lot of souvenirs around it.
"I heard there's a small market nearby with a lot of interesting gadgets. We can go there and take a look." Hua Ling said excitedly.
"Okay." Yun Zhihe agreed. He just wanted to accompany Qin Muyue.
Although the Demon Lord was upset that two outsiders kept pestering his little master, he could not get angry. He raised his chin and nodded in agreement: "Fairy Qin, just tell me what you want to buy."
"Thank you very much, Lord Demon." Qin Muyue said politely.
The four of them walked towards the market together. The stalls along the way were filled with all kinds of goods, including exquisite ornaments, peculiar little toys, and various monster snacks.
Qin Muyue was attracted by the hand-woven wreaths on a stall.
Seeing this, Yun Zhihe had a flash of inspiration and picked up a wreath and gently placed it on the girl's head.
"Xiaoyue is so beautiful." Yun Zhihe praised.
Seeing this, the Demon Lord was not to be outdone. He walked to another stall, picked out an exquisite hairpin, and handed it to Qin Muyue: "This hairpin also suits you."
Qin Muyue looked at the two people vying to show their courtesy. There was no reason not to have such good things. Raising puppets and creating a sea of consciousness required resources.
She took the hairpin, her face as pale as porcelain, and her smile was a little illusory: "Thank you, two seniors, you are so polite."
Hua Ling watched all this from the side and secretly laughed in her heart. She picked up the communication jade slip and started posting on the forum about stock trading.
The scent of roses caught Qin Muyue's attention. Hua Ling smelled it and her stomach growled.
"Ah, it's Rose Biro!" Hua Ling pointed at the fruit shop of the demon tribe and said, the desserts of the demon tribe are very rough, most of them are made of kneaded dough with lethal amounts of sweet fruit fillings, which are very popular among children.
Qin Muyue also became interested in the alluring rose scent.
She turned towards the fruit shop and saw that the stall was filled with all kinds of brightly coloured biro, each with a different colour from the filling.
The flower demon was diligently packing biluo for each demon cultivator while introducing the fillings to the girl. "Dear guests, here are cherry biluo, rose milk biluo, kiwi biluo and other fruit and flower fillings, feel free to choose!"
"Cherry Bilo?" Qin Muyue asked curiously. She was not familiar with the snacks of the demon clan.
"Yes, Sister Qin, Cherry Biro is a dessert with sugar-boiled cherries as filling. It is very delicious." Hua Ling explained, her eyes sparkling with desire for delicious food.
Yun Zhihe saw what Hua Ling was thinking. He smiled and said to Hua Yao, "Boss, give me one portion of each filling."
The Demon Lord was not to be outdone. He turned to the Flower Fairy in the fruit shop and said proudly, "I will buy three times as much as the Bi Luo he selected!"
The flower demon's mouth was grinning from ear to ear, and it stretched out a few vines, wrapping Biro in the colorful leaves faster.
Qin Muyue took a pack, opened it, picked up a piece, and took a bite. The sweet and mellow fragrance of the rose milk bloomed in her mouth, and she couldn't help but exclaimed: "It smells so good."
Hua Ling couldn't wait to grab a pack and started eating, nodding as she ate: "Yes, this is the taste. Every time my brother goes on a diplomatic mission to different tribes, he brings me Biro from here."
Yun Zhihe and Mo Zun also tasted a piece each, their expressions calmer than the other.
The Demon Lord was afraid that his young master didn't know how virtuous he was, so while the two girls were tasting the Biluo, he turned around and bought two glasses of juice and handed them over like offering a treasure.
Qin Muyue looked at the juice handed over by the Demon Lord, smiled slightly, and took it. "Thank you, Master Demon Lord."
Hua Ling took the opportunity to drink the juice, and her eyes were full of admiration for Qin Muyue. She was worthy of being her sister Qin. Even sitting in a wheelchair, she could make the powerful demons and ghosts go crazy for her.
Seeing this, Yun Zhihe was not willing to be left behind. He looked around for the magic weapon stall. He walked over and found a bottle of priceless thousand-year-old jade marrow.
Yun Zhihe knew that Qin Muyue needed various rare materials for her cultivation, and this thousand-year-old jade spirit marrow would undoubtedly be of great benefit to her.
He walked over and asked the stall owner to open the bottle for a moment so that he could examine it.
The stall owner quickly opened the cork and closed it again. A trace of breath leaked out from the spiritual marrow, which was captured by Yun Zhihe's keen sense.
He bought the bottle of jade essence without hesitation, then walked up to Qin Muyue and handed it to her.
"Xiao Yue'er, this thousand-year-old jade marrow will be of great benefit to your cultivation. I hope you like it." Yun Zhihe said gently.
Qin Muyue took the jade bottle. She could feel the rich spiritual energy contained in the jade bottle and knew that it was indeed a rare treasure. She looked up at Yun Zhihe with a hint of gratitude in her eyes.
"Your Highness Yun, this is too valuable. I cannot accept it." Although Qin Muyue was tempted, she had to be humble.
Yun Zhihe touched the girl's soft hair and said, "Xiao Yue'er, this is nothing to me. As long as you like it, I will be satisfied."
When the Demon Lord saw this, he immediately became unhappy. He took out an ancient round jade pendant with exquisite patterns carved on it. It exuded a faint sense of oppression and was obviously not an ordinary object.
"Fairy Qin, this is the black jade of all ages that I found for you. It has the functions of healing, tempering meridians, guiding spirits, and protecting the body. I hope it can be of use to you." The Demon Lord handed the jade pendant to Qin Muyue.
Qin Muyue took the jade pendant. She could feel a warmth coming from it and the meridians in her body were gently tempered. She knew that this jade pendant was indeed extraordinary.
She said to the Demon Lord, "Thank you, Master Demon Lord. I like this jade pendant very much."
Hua Ling watched the two powerful men vying to give gifts and secretly sighed in her heart that it was so difficult to take sides. These two powerful men seemed to be very suitable for Sister Qin.
The demon cultivators in the market also began to notice the situation here. They whispered and discussed why these two young men from prominent families were so concerned about a girl in a wheelchair.
Qin Muyue felt the gazes from all around her, and she felt a little uncomfortable. She said to Yun Zhihe and Mo Zun, "Seniors, let's leave here first. I don't want to attract too much attention."
Yun Zhihe and Mo Zun both nodded in agreement. They also didn't want Qin Muyue to be seen by other men.
So, the four of them left the market together and walked towards the Demon King's Palace.
After returning to the Demon King's Palace, Hua Ling said goodbye to Qin Muyue and walked along the corridor towards her own bedroom. She was in a good mood and was completely unaware of the coming storm.
She had just spent a pleasant day with Qin Muyue and her heart was filled with excitement.
She couldn't wait to share today's fun with her brother.
As soon as Hua Ling stepped into the palace, she felt that the atmosphere was wrong.
She saw Hua Xinfeng sitting in the main seat in the hall with a serious expression, and her heart tightened involuntarily.
"Brother, why did you come so early today?" Hua Ling asked cautiously, trying to break the silence.
Hua Xinfeng did not answer immediately. He just looked at Hua Ling quietly, making Hua Ling feel unprecedented pressure.
"Ling'er, why did you take Miss Qin to the brothel today?" Hua Xinfeng finally spoke, with a hint of suppressed anger in his voice.
Hua Ling knew she couldn't hide it from her brother, so she answered truthfully: "Brother, you also know that the human race doesn't have a romantic place, I just want to take Sister Qin to see the world."
Hua Xinfeng frowned slightly. Miss Qin was from a famous and upright family. It would damage her reputation if she was taken to that kind of place by Hua Ling. This would be a problem if the Wuji Immortal Sect knew about it.
Will their Xiangrui clan be branded as a vixen who seduces the righteous and bewitches the mind?
"Ling'er, you know that Miss Qin is a righteous person and a top disciple of Tianjian Peak. Reputation is very important to her. You must not ruin Miss Qin's image in the world of immortal cultivation because of momentary curiosity." Hua Xinfeng said earnestly.
Hua Ling lowered her head. She knew that what her brother said was right, but she was still a little unconvinced in her heart: "Brother, Sister Qin also has seven emotions and six desires. You also know that the two powerful demons and ghosts are fighting for Sister Qin. Sister Qin can't even walk. As a mortal, it is impossible for her to make a choice. Lingling just wants Sister Qin to open her eyes and see how big and vast the Langhuan Realm is. Don't make a choice blindly. The next one will be better. She deserves better!"
Hua Xinfeng sighed, he stood up, walked to Hua Ling, and patted her head gently: "Ling'er, brother is not blaming you, I'm just worried that you will anger the two masters by doing this."
Hua Ling raised her head and looked at her brother's concerned eyes, and a warm current surged in her heart. She knew that her brother was really doing this for her own good, so she nodded: "Brother, I understand, I will be careful next time."
Hua Xinfeng nodded with satisfaction. He knew that although Hua Ling was young, she was not an ignorant child. He just needed to knock her a few times.
"Okay, you are tired today, so go to bed early." Hua Xinfeng said gently.
Hua Ling nodded, bowed to her brother, and turned back to her room.
She took out the communication jade slip and posted, "By the way, I think the demon clan regent is a good match for a friend of mine!"
On the other side, as Qin Muyue returned to her room in Zhanchunyuan, the curtains suddenly made a sound, a figure appeared from under the table, and even the bed could speak. The girl found herself surrounded by three people.
"Senior Sister, Ruyan is so worried about you!" Liu Ruyan threw herself on the girl's wheelchair, her face miserable, her brows sad, her almond-shaped eyes seemed to want to say something but couldn't.
Yan Shiyin and Lu Yaoguang came out and looked at each other. Lu Yaoguang quickly wiped off the disguise on his face with one hand. He had been the chief of the Wanjian Sect and the acting sect master. He absolutely could not look ugly in front of Junior Sister Qin.
"Ruyan, don't worry, I'm fine." Qin Muyue patted Liu Ruyan's shoulder gently.
Liu Ruyan raised her head, tears flashing in her eyes. She held Qin Muyue's hand tightly, as if she was afraid that she would leave again. "Senior sister, you don't know how worried we were when you were away. Although my cultivation is not as good as that of the Demon Lord, Ruyan also wants to do her best to help you."
Yan Shiyin stood aside, his expression still stern, but the concern in his eyes was obvious. "Junior sister, why did Yun Zhihe and the Demon Lord keep pestering you when you went to play at the Acacia Tree with the demon princess today?"
There was a barely perceptible hint of nervousness in his voice.
"Junior sister, you must be careful. Yun Zhihe and the Demon Lord are not simple characters. Their kindness to you may have other purposes. After all, you are Qin Muyue from Tianjian Peak, and you represent the position of righteousness." Lu Yaoguang had a righteous look on his face and never hesitated to speculate about the demons and ghosts from the most shameful angles.
Qin Muyue nodded. "I know, I will be careful. They just accompanied me to the market today, nothing special happened."
"By the way, I have some snacks that are special to the demon race. Would you like to try some?" Qin Muyue took out the colorful leaf package and shared it with them without any regret.
When Liu Ruyan heard that there were snacks that were specialties of the demon clan, her eyes lit up and her mood instantly turned from gloomy to bright. She hurriedly took the snacks that Qin Muyue handed over and carefully opened the colorful leaf. A sweet scent wafted into her nose.
"Wow, this must be a fruit-filled biro. I've heard of it, but I haven't tried it yet!" Liu Ruyan said excitedly. She took a bite and tasted the sweet fragrance of cherries and the softness of the dough. She couldn't help but nod her head repeatedly, "It's delicious!"
Yan Shiyin and Lu Yaoguang also took a piece each and tasted it carefully.
Yan Shiyin showed a rare look of satisfaction on his face, while Lu Yaoguang praised as he ate: "The cooking skills of this demon tribe are really good. Junior sister, did you encounter anything interesting at the market today?"
Qin Muyue smiled and began to talk about her experiences today. From hanging the silk ribbons to make a wish to what she saw and heard at the market, she told them all one by one, and the three listened attentively.
"Junior sister, what are you going to do with the things Yun Zhihe and Demon Lord gave you?" Yan Shiyin suddenly asked, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.
Qin Muyue pondered for a moment, then said, "The thousand-year-old jade spirit marrow that Yun Zhihe gave me is indeed helpful for my cultivation, and I will make good use of it. As for the Demon Lord's black jade of all ages, I plan to keep it for now, maybe it will be useful in the future."
Lu Yaoguang nodded, "Junior sister, you are very thoughtful. However, you should also be vigilant. There may be ulterior motives behind these gifts."
Yan Shiyin's face was solemn. As a man of Hou Tu Country, no one knew men's little tricks better than him. "Junior sister, I suspect they are greedy for your body. This is ridiculous. I didn't expect the ghosts and demons to be so mean..."
"Hehe, they're not that exaggerated." Qin Muyue ate her food guiltily. If Yan Shiyin knew that she had been to the brothel, who knows what he would think of her.
