Just when I thought I was truly going to be killed by Yuan Yuan, a shadow rushed in.
A stern man in a black robe appeared, his face dark and filled with an aura of death. His expression revealed an indescribable chill and cruelty.
He flew through the broken barrier and reached my side, pulling Yuan Yuan away from me.
Then he gently lifted me up, holding me in one arm while gathering his strength to strike at Yuan Yuan with the other.
With a single palm strike, a heart-wrenching scream echoed through the air.
Yet he didn’t even furrow his brow; a bloodthirsty smile lingered on his lips as he coldly declared, “Since you wish to be obliterated, I shall grant your wish.”
Retracting his hand, he raised his foot and stomped down fiercely at Yuan Yuan's heart.
This time, Yuan Yuan didn’t even have the strength to scream; she simply dispersed into thin air.
My hand hung limply in the air, but my eyes were fixed on his face. I was too afraid to close my eyes.
I feared missing out; I was terrified that if I closed my eyes, he would vanish. What would I do then?
“Mu Xuanche, is it you?” My voice trembled, and anyone could sense the fear within it.
The moment he nodded, I smiled, though what happened next was unclear to me.
When I awoke, I found myself in a hospital room.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I turned over and shouted into the air, “Mu Xuanche!”
Just as I was about to leap out of bed in a panic, I fell into a gentle embrace.
The deep, magnetic voice wrapped around me, drifting softly, "I'm here."
Those simple two words instantly calmed my previously restless heart. I turned around and looked up at him.
I opened my mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end, no sound came out. Tears began to fall unconsciously from the corners of my eyes, a special sense of grievance swelling within me, even I didn't know why.
His cold lips brushed against mine, kissing away my tears with delicate tenderness that made me feel utterly lost.
His movements were gentle as he held me slightly, afraid to exert any force.
I lay in his embrace, suppressing the urge to cry, feeling an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.
After a moment, he carried me back to the bed and set me down gently.
I didn't want to let go of him, my arms tightly wrapped around his neck as I shook my head like a rattle.
"You still have injuries," he reminded me.
I recalled the painful cut I had inflicted on myself with a knife while trying to escape Yuan Yuan. Just thinking about it now made me ache.
"Did you touch the wound?"
I merely frowned slightly, and he noticed immediately.
Looking up at him, even without a mirror, I knew how foolishly happy I must look right now.
He reached out to touch my forehead, his expression filled with concern.
The originally gentle gaze turned icy the moment it touched my shoulder, his brows furrowing deeply, causing my heart to shrink in response.
"Don't let me see you hurt again."
Knowing he was angry, I dared not provoke him further and obediently nodded.
Seeing his expression soften, I finally mustered the courage to act a little spoiled.
Being spoiled is the best way for a woman to get her way; after all, girls are natural at it. It just depends on whether there’s someone worth dropping all defenses for.
He shot me a glare, but it lacked any real threat. I smiled brightly and nestled into his embrace. "You're back; that's wonderful."
I didn't ask him what had happened or how he returned because those things didn't matter. What mattered was that he was here.
"Can I be discharged?"
I have always hated hospitals. Every time I come here, the smell of disinfectant fills me with dread. That mysterious, nauseating gas feels just like the scent of death, making it hard to breathe.
"No negotiation."
Mu Xuanche's words brought me back to reality just as I was about to plead again.
At that moment, Shangguan Mingyue and the senior brother pushed the door open. Shangguan Mingyue was holding a lunchbox, clearly having brought me a meal.
"Yan Xi, hurry and eat," she said with a sweet smile. As she approached, she glanced at Mu Xuanche and noticed his cold demeanor, causing her to instinctively shrink back slightly.
She put down her lunchbox and turned to leave, but was stopped by the Senior Brother.
"Yan Xi, Master wants you and Mingyue to go to H City next week for a mission."
I didn't respond, and Shangguan Mingyue protested, "Senior Brother, this is exploitation! Yan Xi is still injured; how can she take on a mission?"
The Senior Brother remained indifferent, as he always did, obediently following Master's orders.
Seeing his attitude, Shangguan Mingyue turned her gaze toward me, hoping I would speak up.
I believed that Master was protective and wouldn't send me into danger without consideration.
So I nodded in agreement. Upon seeing my response, Shangguan Mingyue angrily scolded, "Gu Yanxi, why are you disregarding your health?"
I smiled at her and gave a reassuring look.
"Mingyue, Master isn't asking me to go right now. Besides, look at Mu Xuanche; with him around, I’m not worried at all."
After hearing me, Shangguan Mingyue glanced at Mu Xuanche. Her anger eased slightly, though she was still reluctant to concede.
"Fine, do whatever you want."
After saying that, she reached out to pull Li Mubai along. I noticed a flicker of something unusual on Li Mubai's face the moment her hand grasped his.
"Senior Brother, let's go. They're busy with their own matters; we shouldn't get involved."
Perhaps it was because I was currently infatuated, making everyone seem particularly sweet to me, but a fleeting thought crossed my mind that perhaps Li Mubai and Shangguan Mingyue together wouldn’t be so bad after all.
As I watched the backs of Li Mubai and Shangguan Mingyue walk away, I couldn’t help but smile quietly. Just as I was laughing heartily, a spoonful of rice was suddenly brought to my lips. I froze for a moment, my face turning slightly red as I shyly said, “I can do it myself.”
However, he ignored me and continued to feed me. I obediently swallowed the bite. Having never been fed since I could remember, being fed now felt particularly embarrassing yet sweet at the same time.
Thinking back to Mu Xuanche's earlier behavior, I looked at him, waiting for his response.
“Go ahead and ask,” he sighed, a hint of helplessness in his tone.
I tentatively asked, “Why do you seem not particularly friendly towards Mingyue?”
He frowned, looking impatient. “Women are too annoying.”
His answer caught me off guard, and I retorted, “Aren’t I a woman?”
“You are my Wife.”
Another sweet bombshell dropped. I hadn’t expected this Ice Mountain Ghost Husband to have such romantic moments.
He wore an expression of absolute certainty that made me feel cherished. Clinging to his arm, my heart overflowed with happiness as I casually brought up the matter of Shangguan Mingyue.
I am someone who cannot keep secrets; when a secret is bottled up inside me, it feels like it's about to explode. However, I can only confide in Mu Xuanche.
I thought he would be shocked after hearing my confession, but to my surprise, he showed no reaction at all, maintaining a calm demeanor.
"You must have known all along," I said.
He nodded and gave me a look that seemed to say he found me too naive.
"Do you think Lingyunzi, that Old Fox, is foolish?"
Mu Xuanche's words shocked me once more; I had never considered that possibility.
"Your master knows," he said dismissively. "How could he not know about his own disciple?"
"Please, tell me why Mingyue is like this," I pleaded.
But he ignored my request and insisted that I go to sleep, not allowing me to worry about such matters.
I wanted to protest, but Mu Xuanche reminded me that the child in my womb was somewhat unstable and advised me not to agitate myself.
Recalling the recent events made me anxious, so I complied with Mu Xuanche and went to sleep.
A week later, I finally received Mu Xuanche's approval to be discharged from the hospital.
I set off for H City with Shangguan Mingyue, initially thinking he would accompany me. However, he informed me that he had matters to discuss with my master.
I wrapped my arms around his waist, feeling a bit reluctant to let go. He reached out and placed the Bone Whistle around my neck.
As I touched the Bone Whistle that had returned to me, I was struck by the illusion of feeling his body heat.
There was one more thing—the gourd containing the treasure. I asked happily, "Is the treasure ready?"
He nodded, and I felt relieved.
Ruo Qing would surely face some punishment for saving me. If I didn't take good care of the treasure, I would feel guilty for a lifetime. That poor child had suffered because of me.
After he saw me and Shangguan Mingyue off in the car, he left with the senior brother.
Every time he left, I never asked him when he would return. There was nothing to ask, nor did I need to.
He had his own matters to attend to, and he would appear whenever I needed him most—that was enough for me.
This time, we were heading to H City primarily to visit a middle school. It was reported that this school had been plagued by dark forces recently, resulting in the deaths of three students.
