Seeing that i Yinxue's previous words really contained no hidden malice, Mu Jinyu's heart finally returned to its original place.
Afterward, Mu Jinyu thought of Gu Xiyan, who often got into a huff with him over trivial matters.
Of course, on major issues, Gu Xiyan always knew what was important and didn't get into argunts with him.
But when it ca to so petty matters, Mu Jinyu couldn't even count how many tis he had quarreled with her. Sotis, he truly felt quite exhausted.
Compared to that, well, it highlighted the empathetic nature of the mature older sister, i Yinxue.
Of course, that didn't an he would give up on Gu Xiyan and break up with her to spend his days only with i Yinxue and Wen Rou.
In his life, he would probably never forget the day Su Zijin suddenly appeared, disrupting the peace of his life and stirring the calm waters of his heart, and the lowest point of his mood was when Gu Xiyan was silently by his side.
Therefore, unless Gu Xiyan herself wanted to leave him, he would not let go.
The simple life still had to go on; the bickering and squabbling added flavor to the calmness of life.
As Mu Jinyu thought this, he shook his head gently and said to i Yinxue, "Alright, let's get ready to go back."
"Hmm," i Yinxue nodded.
Mu Jinyu then took out his phone and called the taxi driver from earlier.
After waiting a while, the taxi turned around and ca back.
It had only been about ten or so minutes since he had left this place.
Mu Jinyu had defeated the Charming Daoist Nun in just a few minutes, but it took him quite a bit of ti to break off her teeth.
"You're done so quickly? I was still making rounds nearby, thinking of picking up another fare in the anti," the taxi driver comnted as he rolled down the window, giving Mu Jinyu a wink and a weird smile.
He then glanced at the puddle of yellow fluid beside them, which had soaked the ground with moisture from the death of the Charming Daoist Nun.
Mu Jinyu, who wasn't very active online and was sowhat naive, didn't understand the strangeness of the old driver's smile; he just felt it was a bit weird, without giving it much thought.
i Yinxue, however, was different since she was a 25-year-old woman and naturally understood what the old driver was thinking. She couldn't help but cast a disgusted glance at him.
But she didn't bother to explain. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on novel✶fire
What could she explain?
Tell the old driver that, actually, it was left by a dead person?
That would scare him to death.
Therefore, i Yinxue felt that they could only take the bla for being "young people who played quite wildly."
The rest of the journey was silent.
After the old driver dropped them off at the airport, he watched Mu Jinyu and his companion leave, and exclaid, "Youth is great, eh? Ca to the Capital City to travel, and even though they are leaving, they will still leave marks on this yellow soil here."
...
Taking the airplane took more than six hours.
Mu Jinyu and i Yinxue finally returned to River City.
Initially, upon learning the whereabouts of the "Spring of Life," Mu Jinyu was sowhat excited and planned to change his route and head directly to the Miao Zombie region.
But after calming down, he thought it was still quite dangerous there; otherwise, the Withered Tree Quest for Spring people wouldn't have taken more than a week to seize it after discovering the Spring of Life.
So it is still better for to return to River City first and make more preparations.
After all, i Yinxue may be strong, but it's too dangerous for her to go with .
Mu Jinyu didn't want to risk her safety.
After leaving the airport, he got into the car driven by one of i Yinxue's subordinates. i Yinxue asked, "When do you plan to go to Miao Zombie?"
Although Mu Jinyu hadn't ntioned seeking the Spring of Life, i Yinxue could understand his thoughts; he was definitely tempted and would set out for it.
And because he didn't want to risk her safety, he restrained himself and returned to River City first.
Of course, it was also good to have more ti for preparation, to bring tools, weapons, and such, so that when the ti ca to confront the thousand-year-old Great Python that was nearly a Flood Dragon, there would be a better chance of success.
That's why i Yinxue didn't persuade Mu Jinyu to head directly to Miao Zombie.
Seeing he couldn't keep it a secret from i Yinxue, Mu Jinyu said, "Let's go tomorrow, but you don't need to co."
"What, you look down on ? Think I'll hold you back?" i Yinxue frowned upon hearing this, her willowy eyebrows inverted, showing signs of an impending outburst.
Mu Jinyu shook his head; no matter how much i Yinxue made a fuss, he couldn't let her co with him, and said, "It's not that I look down on you, but there's no need. If you were to get hurt, I would regret it to death."
Although she knew Mu Jinyu was making excuses, she also knew that he truly cared for her, which made i Yinxue feel appreciated.
However, she was also worried about letting Mu Jinyu go alone, so after a mont's thought, she said, "If you're worried about going with you, then I can send a few brothers to go with you. Wouldn't that be alright?"
Mu Jinyu thought about it and guessed that i Yinxue would be uneasy if he went alone, so he nodded and said, "Okay, then bring a few people along."
After that, Mu Jinyu had dinner with i Yinxue and then had her take him to Donghui Mansion.
As he watched i Yinxue leave, Mu Jinyu turned around and headed into Donghui Mansion.
He intended to ask Xiang Mantang to arrange for him to bring a few handy weapons to Miao Zombie when he attempted to seize the Spring of Life.
After all, it's not easy to transport controlled blades, and though i Yinxue could send them to Miao Zombie, it would take so ti.
And he couldn't afford to waste much ti in seizing the Spring of Life; going today without preparation would an fewer chances to fight the thousand-year python.
If he delayed a few more days, the people from Withered Tree Quest for Spring might succeed.
And since i Yinxue couldn't imdiately send weapons to Miao Zombie, the identity of Xiang Mantang was different; it would be easy for them to deliver weapons directly to Miao Zombie.
So he ca to seek help from Xiang Mantang.
...
i Yinxue had her subordinate drive her back. Sitting in the back seat, her brows were slightly furrowed, worried about Mu Jinyu's journey to Miao Zombie.
After all, if such a large organization as Withered Tree Quest for Spring couldn't subdue the Flood Dragon in a short ti, it showed how ferocious it was.
Mu Jinyu wouldn't let her accompany him, and she couldn't argue with him, so she could only think to arrange for a few of her best brothers from Snow Hidden Association, such as Wang Zhengbiao, to accompany Mu Jinyu.
Then, i Yinxue made a call, instructing Wang Zhengbiao and the other Four Heavenly Kings to hand over their current duties to others and to co over tomorrow.
After the call, i Yinxue felt slightly relieved and then put her phone back in her pocket.
At that mont, she felt sothing in her pocket.
Frowning slightly, she pulled it out and saw a very familiar small porcelain bottle.
It was the bottle with Corpse-dissolving Powder that belonged to Mu Jinyu.
i Yinxue's expression froze for a mont, then her brows smoothed out, and a faint smile curved at the corners of her mouth.
