Mu Yin said hatefully, “You said the same thing before, but you still broke up in the end. Until you’re married, you’re not my sister-in-law!”
He had me cornered; this fact could not be denied. Before marriage, I was not Mu Chuan’s wife, nor his sister-in-law, so there was no issue of overstepping propriety.
Mu Yin sat beside the bed, shaking my hand and saying, “Suo Suo, you love to play so much. Do you really want to stay in this Pear Garden forever? Let me take you to play, okay? If you don’t like the Ghost Realm, we’ll go to the human world.” His eyes brightened, “Or I’ll turn into a duck and follow you back to the Divine Realm, okay?”
“No, go back quickly. I will marry your brother and be your sister-in-law.”
Having lost the heart qi that protected me for a thousand years, I suddenly feel my cultivation greatly reduced, and I’m afraid I can’t even defeat Hua Hua.
As my strength gradually returned, seeing that he had not yet awakened, it was the perfect time to escape. I slowly stood up and walked out step by step.
The path through the pear garden was no longer winding and tortuous. Fireflies drifted on both sides of the road, a scenery rarely seen before. But now, I had no time to appreciate it. Passing through a patch of luminescence, the fragrance of flowers had almost disappeared.
I looked up and could no longer see a single pear tree – I had finally gotten out.
Before I could even smile, a cold wind swept over, making me shiver violently.
When I saw Qing Yuan’s icy cold face, I could not find words to describe my current emotions. It must be that my escape method was wrong!
Qing Yuan said, “The gate to the afterlife is now closed. Even if you escape from the pear garden, you cannot get out. I’m afraid before the gate opens, the King will have already awakened.”
I watched him warily, knowing that even if I fought with all my might, I was no match for him.
“So, I’ll take you through another passage,” he said.
What? I perked up, staring wide-eyed: “Did I hear that right? You’re going to help me escape? Aren’t you betraying Mu Chuan?”
