Mistaking My Wife for a Spirit Pet - Chapter 34
Chapter 34
The Young City Lord was so good that she was thinking—
Was she worthy?
Was she worthy of a hundred spiritual mountains? Was she worthy of the Young City Lord’s devoted affection?
Nan Zhi pursed her lips. At this point, she could no longer judge if she was worthy or not. She could only change the subject. “The Young City Lord said… whether I win or not, I’ll have a magical artifact.” She handed over the box containing the mustard seed space and said, “I won.”
Yu Shu lowered her eyes and quietly looked at the box.
It was the first-place prize that Nan Zhi had worked so hard to get. Even the magical artifacts she helped others refine were Nan Zhi’s obstacles to getting first place.
After a while, she raised her hand and placed it on the box. A white light appeared, and the box disappeared. She said, “I refined it a long time ago. It has nothing to do with the ranking of the Immortal Sect Grand Meeting.”
Nan Zhi couldn’t help but be stunned.
It had nothing to do with the Immortal Sect Grand Meeting. Could it be during the time when the Young City Lord returned to Yulin City?
“What did the Young City Lord refine?”
Thinking of this, Yu Shu subconsciously curved her eyes. Sparkling light flickered in her eyes. Her tone at the end of her words rose. “…Guess?”
Nan Zhi couldn’t help but laugh. “A magical artifact like Yu Siqi’s?”
Yu Shu shook her head.
“A magical artifact like the Myriad-Thing Shield?”
Yu Shu shook her head again.
It was neither this nor that, so Nan Zhi began to think. If it couldn’t attack or defend, could it be a weird magical artifact like the one that relieved abdominal pain?
“Then what is it?”
Yu Shu shyly pursed her lips. She suddenly took Nan Zhi’s wrist.
Nan Zhi’s gaze moved down. She asked in confusion, “Hm?”
Her fair fingertips rested on her wrist and slowly circled it. They were soft and warm, covering her like a delicate hand.
She only saw—
The cuff of that sleeve trembled slightly. Yu Shu lowered her head and moved the magical artifact from her wrist to Nan Zhi’s.
Nan Zhi looked closely.
It was a beautiful silver bracelet that also had the Young City Lord’s body temperature on it.
She blinked her eyes. Her earlobe also heated up with the warmth of the silver bracelet. She said softly, “So it’s just a bracelet.”
Yu Shu curved her lips again. At this moment, her eyes were full of gentleness. She smiled like a fox. “Look.”
Look at what?
Nan Zhi’s eyes were filled with confusion.
Yu Shu’s fair fingertips closed together. She shook her wrist, and her loose sleeve moved down, revealing a shiny bracelet.
It was exactly the same as the one on her own hand.
Nan Zhi’s eyes met hers, and she couldn’t help but feel confused—
It’s just a pair of bracelets. Is she this happy?
Yu Shu was truly very happy. She couldn’t help but hold Nan Zhi’s hand and shake it. Her smile grew even wider.
“Isn’t it beautiful?”
It was beautiful, but was it that beautiful?
Nan Zhi lowered her eyes. Two identical silver bracelets. Her gaze moved down. Two shadows stood side by side. She couldn’t help but look sideways. The Young City Lord was wearing the same color as her.
She hadn’t liked these simple and elegant dresses before, but today, she kept picking and choosing, and in the end, she chose this one.
She blinked her eyes. The sparkling light in Yu Shu’s eyes made her suddenly think—
An idiot with too much money means she’s an idiot and has too much money. She was talking about Yu Shu. She looked so silly when she smiled that it made her can’t help but smile along.
“It’s beautiful.”
That Young City Lord, who smiled so beautifully, became even happier. The light in her eyes became even brighter, and her body subconsciously moved closer to Nan Zhi.
Warm air suddenly approached. Both of them knew what was happening.
Nan Zhi’s brow twitched. She immediately reached out her palm and pressed it against Yu Shu’s forehead. For the one second she paused, she was hesitating. After hesitating, she pushed her away.
Yu Shu was stunned at first, and then she became a little annoyed. She was full of resentment. “Nan Zhi.”
Nan Zhi blinked. On a whim, she reached out and tucked Yu Shu’s hair behind her ear.
Yu Shu’s expression froze. She frowned, and her voice softened. “What are you doing?”
“There are too many people.”
Yu Shu subconsciously looked sideways. They were shoulder to shoulder. It was true. But… she was still a little unhappy, which made her feel a little sullen. She just grabbed Nan Zhi’s hand and walked forward.
Nan Zhi: “Where are we going?”
“To a place with fewer people.”
“…”
Seeing that Yu Shu was really going to drag her away, Nan Zhi stood still and didn’t move.
Yu Shu turned her head. Her confusion was mixed with a little dissatisfaction. “Nan Zhi?”
Nan Zhi sighed. She waved her hand expressionlessly.
A light flew over. A light-blue barrier surrounded them. The cultivators outside seemed to be unaware. She used some force and suddenly pulled Yu Shu closer.
Yu Shu stumbled forward and fell into Nan Zhi’s arms. She subconsciously grabbed her clothes, slowly looked up, and said coquettishly, “What are you doing?”
Nan Zhi lowered her brows and quietly looked at her lively features. They were very beautiful. It made her subconsciously think—
Actually, the Young City Lord’s true form is even more beautiful.
“Nan Zhi?”
The Young City Lord’s eyes were filled with confusion, but her gaze slowly moved down and landed on her moist and full lips.
Does she really like kissing and being close like this? She didn’t understand.
It seemed that Yu Shu also felt her gaze. Her face heated up. The light in her eyes was also tinged with shyness. She quietly waited.
She didn’t dare to blink, afraid that she would miss it the next second.
The two of them just looked at each other like this. Nan Zhi’s throat felt a little itchy. Her gaze…
One second, two seconds.
She suddenly leaned forward,
She was beautiful when she looked at others, but she was most beautiful when she looked at her.
“What’s the big deal?” Yu Shu’s voice was a little dissatisfied, but the starlight in her eyes flowed slowly.
Nan Zhi smiled. She couldn’t help but imitate her. “What’s the big deal?”
Yu Shu was stunned. She said coquettishly, “You’re so boring.”
Nan Zhi curved her lips and continued to mimic her. “You’re so boring.”
“You’re so annoying!” Yu Shu was angry. She snorted and turned her back to her.
“Are you mad?” Nan Zhi reached out and poked Yu Shu’s waist.
Poke, no response. Poke, no response.
Again and again, she raised her eyebrows and reached out to scratch her.
Yu Shu subconsciously covered her waist and moved away. She said with gritted teeth and embarrassment, “Na-Nan Zhi.”
“The bracelet is so beautiful.” Nan Zhi held back her laughter and said softly, “The Young City Lord gave me such a beautiful bracelet, but what should I give you?”
Yu Shu pretended to be calm and turned her head to the side.
“A hundred years ago, a bright pearl floated with the seawater to my cave. It was very beautiful and sparkling. It was the best in the East Sea.”
After she finished speaking, Nan Zhi reached out and poked Yu Shu’s waist. Seeing that she still wasn’t responding, she continued, “At that time, I was thinking, wouldn’t it be a shame to leave it in the storage bag to collect dust? It would also be a waste to embed it in the cave to light the way. For a while, I couldn’t think of any other way to deal with it, but now I have.”
“A beautiful object should be matched with a beautiful tiger. The bright pearl should be matched with the Young City Lord…”
Nan Zhi’s voice suddenly stopped. A look of confusion appeared in her eyes.
Yu Shu left. She even walked out of the magical barrier.
She left?
Nan Zhi took a long stride and quickly chased her out of the magical barrier.
Not far away—
Yu Shu was having a very pleasant conversation with Song Cai, who had appeared out of nowhere. Her face was full of smiles.
“What are you giggling about?”
Yu Shu pursed her lips and smiled. Her tone at the end of her words rose. “None of your business!”
Song Cai: …
She rolled her eyes. She couldn’t help but ask, “Why haven’t I seen Nan Zhi?”
“Why are you looking for her?”
Song Cai’s expression froze. She slowly said, “Why are you here looking for her? How come you still haven’t found her?”
Yu Shu raised her eyebrows and said leisurely, “None of your business.”
Song Cai: “I’m not… wait, Nan Zhi?” She couldn’t help but widen her eyes. She blinked and looked carefully at the approaching Nan Zhi.
What day is it today?
This dragon actually had droopy eyebrows and eyes.
Did she lose the Immortal Sect Grand Meeting? It doesn’t look like it… but she looks very comfortable.
Nan Zhi slowly walked over and nodded. “Young City Lord, Manager Song.”
Song Cai was quite surprised. She raised her eyebrows and watched with a nonchalant expression.
Her friend next to her let out a cold snort, but her voice was as delicate as can be. “Who allowed you to follow me?”
Hiss… what kind of words are these?
“Then I’ll leave?”
“No.”
Hiss… what kind of conversation is this?
Song Cai rubbed her forehead. She was both annoyed and amused. “What’s going on with you two?”
Nan Zhi and Yu Shu’s gazes swept over her at the same time. They spoke in unison.
“None of your business.”
“Nothing’s going on.”
Song Cai couldn’t help but “hiss” and said, “I’m not getting involved, but… the whole street is watching.”
Yu Shu: …
Nan Zhi: …
The two of them first looked around and then at each other. In the end, Yu Shu spoke first. She said softly, “Don’t mind her. Let’s go.”
Nan Zhi nodded and immediately followed her.
Song Cai, who was left behind: …
What is the meaning of this?
Li Yu loved her friends more than her lover, and Yu Shu loved her lover more than her friends, and she—was abandoned by both her friends and her lover.
Song Cai was furious. In her anger, she let out a snort. She looked at the onlookers with cold eyes. “What are you looking at? Do you want to die?”
“Tsk tsk, you people from Yulin City are really domineering.”
It was the annoying weasel cat.
Song Cai’s expression was blank. Just as she was about to sarcastically mock her, she saw—
A fair finger clenched into a fist, and with a “thump,” it hit Li Qiu on the head.
“Ugh.” A certain arrogant weasel cat immediately clutched her head and said pitifully, “Senior Sister, I didn’t say anything this time!”
Feng Zhiwei’s eyes were cold. “No fighting.”
Li Qiu was full of grievances. “I’m not fighting.”
“Pfft.”
Song Cai was amused. She was so amused that she covered her stomach and bent over laughing.
Li Qiu felt indignant. She immediately rolled up her sleeves, wanting to beat this cat up, but her head was “thumped” again. She slowly looked up, pitifully. “Senior Sister~”
Feng Zhiwei’s expression was blank. “No fighting.”
Li Qiu: …
This was why she didn’t like being with Feng Zhiwei. She wasn’t allowed to do this, and she wasn’t allowed to do that. She called it being righteous and pure, but that was bullshit—
She glared at Song Cai indignantly, let out a heavy snort, and said, “I’m not going to bother with you!” After she finished speaking, she quickly followed closely behind Feng Zhiwei. She said weakly, “Senior Sister~”
Feng Zhiwei looked at her sideways. “Hm?”
Li Qiu was a little guilty and asked weakly, “Are you not going back to the sect?”
Feng Zhiwei quietly looked at her. “What do you want to say?”
“Don’t go back~”
If she went back, she would have to manage this and that again, which was so uncomfortable.
“How about… the world is so big, why don’t you go and explore? There are many fun places in the Nine Provinces. Maybe traveling can heal a broken heart?”
Feng Zhiwei pulled the corners of her mouth into a cold smile. She said word for word, “I think I’ve already said… if you talk nonsense again—you’ll die.”
Li Qiu was stunned when she heard this. She laughed twice. “I just remembered that my cousin wants to apologize to me~ I’ll be right back.”
Feng Zhiwei’s expression was blank. “What cousin?”
“Yu Ran. The daughter of your aunt’s sister-in-law’s sister. Isn’t she your cousin?”
Feng Zhiwei: …This cat really isn’t afraid of death.
Some ridiculous rumors, after hearing them for a while, people would believe them. After spreading them for a while, they would firmly believe them.
She expressionlessly thumped Li Qiu on the head and said coldly, “Get lost.”
Li Qiu immediately scurried away, but after only two steps, she turned back and asked, “Boss~ Are you really not going back to the sect?”
“…Not going back. Get lost.”
“Okay~”
Li Qiu got lost, but Feng Zhiwei frowned.
Why did Li Qiu ask about returning to the Yuyin Sect so many times?
Could it be that she knew she was going to Xuanming Mountain, or did she know that she had been keeping someone at Xuanming Mountain?
The frustration that had accumulated in her heart for many days made her unable to think calmly. Her gaze fell into the distance. One second, two seconds. She contacted Nan Zhi.
‘When are you leaving for Xuanming Mountain?’
