anwhile.
On a stretch of sea near Yuanjiang Province, a thin old man was leisurely riding a large fish, wandering across the ocean. Suddenly, he shivered involuntarily, glancing around suspiciously, and said, "What if that crazy woman didn't find her husband and ca back to settle accounts with ?"
"I am the God of Wealth, not the old man of marriage."
"You co to not for wealth, but to ask where your husband is? Aren't you making things difficult for ?"
"Forget it."
"I better head to Edo. If that crazy woman cos back, it won't be good."
Su Ziyu quietly listened to Qing Ji explain the proceedings, but the story Qing Ji recounted didn't match what Ebisu felt he had experienced at all. Qing Ji said she gently asked Ebisu whether she could find her husband this ti, and after receiving a positive answer, bid him farewell and left. Yet, Ebisu's experience felt like a disaster, as he, a proud God of Wealth of Fusang, had a White Paper Umbrella held like a sword to his neck. He repeatedly tried to explain that he was the God of Wealth, not responsible for romantic matters, but ultimately surrendered, reluctantly promising her she would find her husband.
"Husband."
"Do you need to stay with you for the night?" After tending to Su Ziyu's cleaning up, a blush appeared on Qing Ji's beautiful face as she looked at him with a bit of anticipation.
Su Ziyu imdiately beca tense upon hearing this, hurriedly shaking his head: "No…that's not necessary…"
"You've been traveling for so long; you must be tired."
"Go to the next room and have a good rest."
Qing Ji's expression showed a slight hint of disappointnt, which quickly faded. In the Dream Realm, An Zhen was extrely adverse to her; any minuscule proximity would provoke a backlash. But Su Ziyu's attitude towards her now was considered excellent, and while Su Ziyu might not be very aware of it, Qing Ji was quite satisfied. Initially, Qing Ji thought interacting with him would be extrely difficult and even contemplated ways to retain him, but this ti, Su Ziyu hadn't fled and didn't entirely reject her closeness.
At least there's a good start now.
Thinking of this, a happy smile appeared on Qing Ji's face. Being able to accompany her husband was already satisfying enough for her.
Of course.
Tonight she still needed to be a bit cautious, just in case her husband couldn't resist the urge to run away secretly.
Definitely shouldn't use fire to burn him again.
Perhaps bind him and place him by her bed, so she could hold him while sleeping. Qing Ji thought this with a bit of anticipation for Su Ziyu's escape; after all, it would give her a legitimate reason to stay in the sa room with him, allowing her to reasonably do so things without being excessive.
Sadly, though.
Su Ziyu was well-behaved tonight, although his sleep was sowhat uneasy.
He had been burnt by Qing Ji so many tis in the Dream Realm; how could he not know she actually didn't sleep much at night? Every ti he tried to escape, Qing Ji would sohow find him. This ti, he wouldn't dare try anything reckless. They two had co back around three or four in the morning last night, and when Su Ziyu woke up, it was nearly noon. Upon awakening, he slled a faint fragrance before seeing Qing Ji carrying a wooden tray into the room.
"Husband awake?"
"Hungry, aren't you?"
"Wash up and eat sothing! I made so of your favorite dishes today!" Qing Ji smiled, kneeling before him, gently placing the food on the table like a gentle and virtuous wife.
In the Dream Realm, Qing Ji's culinary skills were quite good.
It seems the sa is true here.
Su Ziyu picked up the chopsticks and tasted a bite, looking up at Qing Ji, feeling extrely conflicted, montarily unsure of what to say.
"Husband? Not tasty?" Qing Ji's expression showed a slight tension, looking at him a little timidly.
"Delicious." Su Ziyu smiled kindly, shaking his head: "Just feels familiar, like déjà vu."
"Really?" Qing Ji's expression instantly turned to delight, happily saying: "Glad husband likes it."
Although Qing Ji seed like a gentle, virtuous wife now, having witnessed everything in the Dream Realm, Su Ziyu knew how terrifying Qing Ji could be when angry. If he didn't provoke Qing Ji, all would be well; accidentally doing so would surely lead to disaster.
Even if transford into a White Snake, Qing Ji was still Qing Ji.
Judging from her behavior last night, Qing Ji could be cold and ruthless once she made a move.
Stay calm.
If I hold on, I can win.
Su Ziyu internally warned himself, then smiled broadly at Qing Ji: "You helped a lot last night. I really have nothing to properly thank you with, so please accept this as a gift."
"This is just what I should do." Qing Ji initially wanted to refuse, considering helping her husband a duty, but upon seeing what Su Ziyu took out, her expression faltered slightly, then turned shy and joyful, speaking softly: "Since it's sothing my husband is giving , I'll accept it."
Su Ziyu didn't have many gifts to give Qing Ji.
Fortunately, he still possessed several gemstones; in the Demon Hunter's world, he acquired nurous exquisite jewelry from a high-ranking Vampire. What he presented now was a delicately refined Ruby Necklace.
This was not so peculiar item.
Just a remarkably valuable ordinary necklace, although gold is considered hard currency, its volu and weight are substantial, so Su Ziyu prepared other pricey jewels.
"Can husband put it on ?" With a slight blush on her lovely face, Qing Ji shyly and expectantly asked.
Su Ziyu stood up, feeling a bit tense but kept reminding himself to stay calm. Gently, he went behind Qing Ji and cautiously put the Ruby Necklace on her. A faint fragrance wafted over, and looking at Qing Ji's fair neck and slightly flushed earlobes, he montarily lost himself.
Keep it together!
Just need to endure until this world's ti ends.
Feeling Su Ziyu's warm breath behind her made Qing Ji sowhat tense, with even her exquisite earlobes slightly turning red. Once Su Ziyu fastened the necklace around her neck, she looked down at herself joyfully, then began to tearfully cry: "Boohoo… Husband is too wonderful to !…"
As long as you don't burn , everything else is negotiable.
Su Ziyu slightly comforted Qing Ji's emotions, then set out with her to find Abe no Seii.
Within Ghost Capital, there seed to be so plotting underway. Su Ziyu felt uneasy and needed to ask Abe no Seii when other Yin Yang Masters would arrive.
Inside the Shrine.
As soon as Su Ziyu appeared, Abe no Seii stood up, greeting him: "Lord Su! You ca at the right ti!"
"This is Ashiya Doman."
"He's also a Yin Yang Master skilled in magic."
Ashiya Doman?
Su Ziyu had heard of this na; he was known as a figure of that era on par with Abe no Seii. However, Ashiya Doman was the leader of the folk Yin Yang Masters and didn't hold the sa esteem as Abe no Seii in later generations.
Weren't these two rivals?
Turning, Su Ziyu looked at the middle-aged man sitting not far away, appearing much older than Abe no Seii, with his attire rather scruffy and his appearance quite ordinary, lacking the deanor of a master, more like a fallen wanderer by the roadside. No wonder he couldn't compare to Abe no Seii in the eyes of the Fusang Imperial Family.
Ashiya Doman's gaze initially settled on Su Ziyu, showing indifference, but upon seeing the white-robed Qing Ji behind him, his pupils narrowed instantly, appearing slightly tense.
He seed a bit scared.
"Husband. I seem to have taught this guy a lesson not long ago." In white attire resembling snow, Qing Ji softly chuckled, keeping half a step behind Su Ziyu, communicating secretly.
