The villain and I have eight hundred minds combined

Chapter 294: Painting Wife (29)

As soon as they left Xukong Mountain, Shi Yao felt something was broken. The feeling was very slight, but she could still feel it. Perhaps the invisible marriage contract that Bai Yan mentioned disappeared, and the marriage thread that connected them was also broken...

"Will you regret making this decision?" In front, Mu Hanxing asked her while standing on the sword.

Shi Yao shook her head behind her: "No."

"Then why are you still unhappy? Now that you have made the decision, don't regret it. Your life span is not over yet, and you are not suitable to stay in the ghost world. After all, you and he have different paths."

But she said, "No, let's just treat the matter with Bai Yan as the past... I'm thinking about other things. In fact, I've been wandering around for a long time. I accidentally heard that my parents got seriously ill because of me... I'm thinking, should I go home to see them? I'd be lying if I said I'm not worried, but I'm still mad at them for arbitrarily deciding my marriage."

"You have to think clearly about what kind of life you want to live. It would be good to go back and reunite with them, but perhaps in the future you will be treated as a pawn in the court and be betrothed to someone you don't love." Mu Hanxing advised her cautiously.

Shi Yao naturally knew this in her heart. She thought about it for a long time in silence, and finally asked her: "Fairy is a cultivator, have you ever been troubled by love?"

Uh, no...but, maybe the only trouble is that we can't treat everyone equally?

"I am not a royal family, nor am I a royal family. I am free to marry. Perhaps this makes me much happier than ordinary women," she replied.

"I really envy you...ah..." Shi Yao sighed, and it seemed that she had made a decision.

She continued, "I will find a way to send a message to my parents, telling them that I am still alive and that they can recover from my illness. But from now on, I am no longer the daughter of an assistant minister. I don't want this identity anymore. If they want me to go back, they can only treat me as dead."

"Okay, write a letter and send it home first, then see what they mean. If they don't force you to get married anymore, then go back. Life as a wanderer is not easy sometimes, when you can't even have a hot meal." She advised softly.

Shi Yao smiled and said, "You are quite different from the immortal cultivators I met in the past. How about this, if you are free in the future, you can come to my house as a guest. I cook delicious dishes and you can have a taste of them."

“Okay…” Mu Hanxing remembered something important and said shamelessly, “By the way, you are from Tong country, and your father is a minister?”

Shi Yao nodded: "Yes, he is the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and is considered a favorite minister in the court, so Xu Heng tried every means to marry me."

Mu Hanxing asked: "If you really want to write a letter to your family...can you do me a favor?"

Shi Yao quickly agreed: "You saved me and fulfilled my wish. It's my duty to help you. Do you want my father to come forward?"

She is very smart.

Mu Hanxing did not intend to hide it: "Yes, I hope your father can persuade the Emperor of your Tong Kingdom not to covet the artifact, otherwise it will bring about natural disasters."

She had heard that when the Jiuzhou Ding was not in its original place, many extremely vicious evil spirits appeared in the Three Realms, and the ghost ways were extremely profound. Those that she had not encountered were all eliminated by people from other sects in the world of cultivation working together.

Shi Yao was stunned: "Artifact? What do you mean?"

Mu Hanxing did not dare to tell her too much about the Jiuzhou Ding. She only gave her a general idea that the artifact was the treasure of her sect. If it was taken away by someone, there would be chaos in the world, which would be detrimental to all countries in the human world. She also hoped that the emperor of Tong Kingdom would not be blinded by the immediate interests.

Shi Yao was very smart, she knew what to do, so she agreed: "I know, my father knows how to advise the emperor, leave it to me."

"Are you really willing to help me?" Mu Hanxing couldn't believe it.

"Bai Yan was a source of worry for me... Now that I have no more worries, I can live my life again... You have helped me a lot, this little thing is nothing."

……

Unexpectedly, this matter was accomplished by accident. Although I don’t know what the King of Tong means by the Jiuzhou Ding, I will try my best to persuade one country to retreat.

She flew Shi Yao back to Tong Kingdom safely on her sword.

Before leaving, Shi Yao was still very concerned about her matter and asked a few more questions to ensure that the task could be completed.

Mu Hanxing was very grateful to her: "Then I'll trouble you. Also, your life is your own. After fulfilling your filial duty, you can live the rest of your life in another place. It's all up to you."

Shi Yao's eyes were startled, and there was a warm smile on her face, like spring plum blossoms after the ice and snow melted. She said, "Well, thank you."

……

At Huangquan Inn, a group of people sat in the corner of the first floor.

Not knowing if eating the things from the ghost world would cause poisoning, several people didn't eat any. Even Jingchen didn't want to touch it. Only a green-haired fox was chewing on a plate of pastries with relish.

Long Jin sat at the table with a frown and his arms crossed, looking impatient. It seemed that he had not fought enough and was ready to fight ten more.

Jingchen and Qi Baige were leaning at the door of the inn waiting for Mu Hanxing to come back.

Feng Xiao looked at the green-haired fox opposite him with an irritated and dissatisfied face. He had heard the rumors.

Some people in Fuyue City once mentioned that the nine-tailed fox tribe leader of Qingqiu was a friend of the city lord, but they always quarreled when they met. Some even said that the tribe leader named Tianni knew the city lord's character very well. In order to prevent his brother from being imprisoned in Fuyue City as a hostage and a concubine, he drove him out of Qingqiu overnight and told him to find another way to make a living. It would be best if he didn't come back, and if he had to come back, he had to do it secretly so as not to let Mu Hanxing know.

When he heard these rumors at the time, he just turned a deaf ear to them and didn't pay any attention to them. But now when he thinks back on them and looks at the green-haired fox sitting opposite him, he feels that they are extremely credible.

This fox has a beautiful appearance and is obviously the city lord's favorite. Moreover, he just admitted that he came from Qingqiu in the heavenly realm. It is hard not to think that this person is the "hidden" younger brother of the Nine-Tailed Clan leader.

"Are you the younger brother of clan leader Tian Ni?" Feng Xiao asked, looking at him.

Qingxi didn't hide it and said while eating: "Yes."

"Why do you come to the ghost world instead of staying in the heaven? Could it be that as the outside world says, you are afraid of the city lord?" Feng Xiao asked him again.

"City Lord? Who are you referring to?" Qingxi was stunned.

"Why are you pretending to be stupid?" Long Jin was furious when he saw the fox. "You and Mu Hanxing have been in Baijiazhuang for so long, and you don't know that she is the mayor of Fuyue City?"

Qingxi dropped the snack in her hand onto the plate, looking surprised: "It turned out to be her..."

No wonder, this is not surprising. He liked to travel around before, so he decided to leave Qingqiu. His sister also asked him to leave the heaven and go out to try his luck, either learn some skills or explore other realms. Anyway, he must not return to Qingqiu to avoid being remembered by the female devil.

It is said that anyone she chooses will never be able to escape from her clutches in this lifetime...
