As soon as Liu Erlong said this, Xiao Wu also looked toward Zhu Zhuyun, and then a great look of surprise appeared in her eyes.
How terrifying!
Zhuyun is just as terrifying as Zhuqing.
Zhu Zhuyun also noticed that their gazes were off. She looked down, realized something was wrong, and hurriedly sat up straight.
"Ahem."
"Aunt Erlong, don't be like this."
Liu Erlong sighed with emotion:
"I don't want to either, but although I have some talent, it's far inferior to yours, Zhuyun."
Xiao Wu said with a face full of envy:
"I originally thought Zhuqing was already the most valiant person in this world, but looking at it now, Sister Zhuyun is actually not yielding to Zhuqing at all."
"I really want it too!"
Fortunately.
Liu Erlong and Xiao Wu hadn't been led astray by Liam yet, so they only teased her with their eyes and words.
If it were Bibi Dong or Ye Lingling, who had learned bad habits from Liam, they would have already started getting hands-on without a word, letting Zhu Zhuyun perform a self-sufficiency act.
Zhu Zhuyun didn't continue to dwell on this, but instead began to think: what kind of reward would she get tomorrow night?
The bright moon over the sea was like a dream or a fantasy.
In this vast ocean, it seemed to have become the sole focus.
Seeing Liam leave, Gu Yuena turned her head to look at Zhu Zhuqing and asked:
"Zhuqing, I remember Zhu Zhuyun is your sister, right?"
"Yes!"
Zhu Zhuqing nodded gently.
Ye Lingling said softly: "I remember Liam wrote in his Diary before that your escape from the Star Luo Empire was actually her idea?"
Zhu Zhuqing nodded silently and replied:
"Yes."
"I used to think I escaped from the Star Luo Empire by a narrow margin, but thinking about it now, for me, a Soul Master in my twenties, escaping from the Star Luo Empire would have been a certain death."
Bibi Dong smiled and said:
"It's okay, haven't you already read Zhuyun's letter? She's in Spirit City now, so nothing will happen to her."
"After we go back, we'll have Liam take you to the Star Luo Empire. Then, your Zhu Family's problems will be resolved."
"If that Star Luo Royal Family really doesn't know what's good for them, I will summon the Spirit Hall army for you and trample them!"
Listening to Bibi Dong's words, Zhu Zhuqing smiled and nodded:
"Thank you, Sister!"
Bibi Dong also laughed, "We're all family, why are you thanking me?"
After speaking, Bibi Dong looked at the Snow Empress and said, "Congratulations! You've also received the best reward for a Soul Beast."
The Snow Empress nodded gently, but she was a bit distracted. Weren't Liam and Ah Yin coming back?
She had plucked up the courage to offer herself, almost falling drunk into his arms.
Is this person not coming back?
Bibi Dong and the others found the Snow Empress's appearance amusing.
Liam probably wouldn't be coming back.
But!
Whether it was Liam not letting Ah Yin come back, or Ah Yin not letting Liam come back, that was hard to say.
On the other side.
After Ah Yin returned to her room, she stood by the window looking at the endless sea and let out a long sigh.
Compared to other Soul Beasts, her luck was very poor. Let alone Gu Yuena or the Ice Empress, she couldn't even compare to Xiao Wu.
At least for Xiao Wu's life as a rabbit, it was still in time for everything. Not to mention whether Xiao Wu could get Liam, but she could now live freely and without worry, without fearing that someone was after her spirit ring.
But her life as a blade of grass was already riddled with holes and scarred.
"Ahem."
At this moment, Liam's light cough came from the doorway. He walked in and said:
"The night is long, and I have no desire for sleep."
"I thought I was the only one who couldn't sleep, but it turns out Lady Ah Yin can't sleep either?"
Hmm.
Hearing Liam's words, Ah Yin was first stunned, then she smiled and replied softly:
"Young Master Liam, you weren't outside chatting with the Mistress and the others, so why did you come here?"
Liam said:
"I saw you were in low spirits, so I followed you to check. Do you have something on your mind?"
"No, nothing."
Ah Yin glanced at Liam and hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to look at him again.
Because when it came to things on her mind, how could she not have any? Not only did she have them, but Gu Yuena and the others had them too. Everyone's concerns were exactly the same!
It was precisely because she thought of this that Ah Yin really didn't dare to look at Liam.
Liam walked to the table and sat down. Seeing this, Ah Yin sensibly went up to pour tea for Liam, then stood quietly to the side, keeping her head down in silence.
Liam thought for a moment and said:
"I'm actually a fortune teller, knowing everything from astronomy to geography. If you have any doubts or things you want to know in your heart, you can ask me."
"I will answer everything I know."
Hearing Liam's words, Ah Yin's heart also became complicated.
Things she wanted to know, were there any?
Perhaps there were.
But the current Ah Yin didn't want to look back at anything from the past. She didn't want to ask, didn't want to know. She only wanted to start a new life.
"I—"
Ah Yin hesitated for a moment, looked at Liam and asked: "Do you think I will have a new life, that I can have a new life?"
Liam nodded and said with a face full of certainty:
"Everyone has the right to choose their future, and at any time, they have the right to choose their own future."
"As long as you let go of the past, every day is a new birth."
"Mhm!"
Listening to Liam's words, Ah Yin nodded heavily and said:
"I understand."
"I already have my own new life."
Looking at the blue-haired, gentle and beautiful Ah Yin, Liam also nodded with a face full of gratification.
However.
At this moment, Ah Yin's heart was caught in a fierce internal struggle. She really wanted to complete Gu Yuena's task and take that brave first step.
But.
How should she do it?
Thinking of this, Ah Yin seemed to hear the Ice Empress's voice: "If there's no way, then don't use a way, just go for it!"
In the room.
The atmosphere was a bit strange.
Liam just drank tea in silence.
Ah Yin didn't speak either.
Suddenly.
Ah Yin bravely stepped forward and placed her slender, jade-like hand directly on the back of Liam's hand.
Liam looked up at Ah Yin, a hint of confusion in his eyes.
Ah Yin's face was already flushed with shame. Meeting Liam's gaze, it was her first time looking at Liam so seriously, and she realized that Liam was very handsome.
A moment later.
Ah Yin's gaze gradually transformed from embarrassment to deep affection.
This left Liam completely stunned.
A lonely man and a lonely grass.
Am I going to touch grass tonight?
Something feels a bit off, doesn't it?
Ah Yin was actually still struggling internally. Although touching Liam's hand was very brave, how far did that really go?
She needed more courage!
Ah Yin looked at Liam and hesitated to act, but thinking that she had held his hand and he hadn't refused, she gritted her teeth and took the next step.
Go for it, Ah Yin!
Ah Yin's face drew closer to Liam's, bit by bit, closer and closer.
Until they kissed...
