Chapter 20 Entering the Market

I haven't entered the town where mortals live for a long time. Even when catching monsters, I often pick them up after nightfall. Suddenly seeing the noisy scenes in the mortal market evoke many memories of me.

Many years ago, Xiaolu and I often sneaked to the market to make a few strange things, and we could play in the lush forest for a long time. Xiaolu also likes to play with groups of children, make tricks for them, buy candy beans and pies. Of course, those children did not know that Xiaolu was not playing tricks, but demons. Most mortal children like to wear masks. The stranger, the ugly, the scarier they were, the more they liked, and they still played their own roles. At that time, I didn't understand why mortals would worship them.

Those gods or demons with hideous and weird faces even deliberately dress themselves up like that. Don’t they know that all the creatures in this world envy humans for such a perfect appearance and body shape? Even the gods make themselves more perfect on the basis of the appearance of mortals, because they are also jealous of mortals who have received such gifts from God Nuwa and have given them the most perfect form of the six realms. Although mortals do not have natural spiritual power and powerful power, they can have the most perfect form of sentient beings in the six realms.

At this moment, what was around me was crowded and bustling, and what was in my ears was noisy and noisy hawking. I was wearing a cotton long skirt worn by an ordinary woman, and I simply put on a bun, as if I was just a girl from an ordinary family in the town. But in my heart, I felt a little uncomfortable, and I felt that I didn't seem to belong to this world, but I had to squeeze in tough briskly.

I walked through one street after another, passed one house after another, and until I reached the end of the noisy, I saw a decent mansion. People seemed to have turned back their itineraries. Although the mansion was not far from the downtown area, they inexplicably avoided the noise.

There is a long pool in front of the house, with two weeping willows that have just sprouted on both sides, which further highlights the faint color of the water.

The four words "Mengjun Villa" are inlaid in the center of a plaque made of red sandalwood. They are delicate small seal scripts. The plaque is hanging in the center above the gate of the house. Although it does not look grand, it makes people look very calm, and even a little calm and depressing.

Outside the door of the house, there is a servant wearing a gray-purple cotton robe holding a broom to clean the dust in the courtyard. Everything looks very quiet. But I keep thinking about the people living in Lenovo. What will they do?

I suddenly looked forward to the door of the house being opened by that person at this moment, but I was afraid of the sudden glances facing each other. I couldn't even guess what reason he would use to understand my sudden departure, or I could not face him without thinking of the empty wooden house.

In fact, I really want to know if he still remembers those days, whether he still remembers me and him... but I was afraid to hear other news about him and You Ruojun. Looking at the closed house, I became nervous.

But at this moment, the door really opened. I quickly avoided one side, and almost couldn't help setting up a hidden world for myself. I finally breathed a sigh of relief until I saw clearly that the person walking out of the door was neither the person I was concerned about nor You Ruojun.

Looking through the shade of the tree, I found that the man was wearing a purple robe, but he was much more delicate than the ones of the servants. He had a purple scarf wrapped around his hair, his forehead was clean, his face was also clean, and he had a light beard on his chin. He seemed to be in his early forties, but he still looked very handsome. It can be seen that he was a particular person and a status person. I suddenly remembered the "righteous brother" Bo Yi that the man once mentioned, and it must be this man.

If so, then he is the owner of Mengjun Villa.

"Yingfu, I'll go to Fu Yuanwai's Mansion. You don't have to scan it, go in and rest."

"Yes, Master."

The person who came out of the house said to the servant who was sweeping the floor at the door, then went straight out of the house, passed by the position where I stood, and walked in the other direction of the street. I pretended to be a passerby and watched him leave silently until he disappeared at the corner of the street. The servant named Yingfu also took the broom and entered the house. At this time, I was the only one in front of the house.

But I still don’t want to leave. I always have a question in my heart that needs to be confirmed, that is, is the person I always think of, is in this house? Since I have come, it has violated the so-called "promise" I made to You Ruojun. Why not completely figure it out?

I simply walked around a corner next to the house. After confirming that there was no one around, I set up a hidden world for myself, jumped gently, and climbed over the wall and entered the house.

The house is also very clean, with green willow trees everywhere, like a garden, rockery scattered, flowing water, and a pavilion stands tall. Only on the side where the mountains and rivers are over, can a corner of the house be faintly visible, as if it is a paradise. It seems that the owner of this house has put some effort into the layout of the house.

The house is not big, and there are not many houses to live in, but it seems to be lingering among the mountains and rivers, as if it is surrounded by beautiful scenery.

I searched everywhere, but the house was very quiet, and there was no one else except for the occasional sight of servants cleaning the courtyard.

Gradually, I walked around the inner courtyard of the house. There were no willow trees everywhere in the house, but it was planted with half a person-tall shrubs. The pool was not as casual and natural as other places. It was a unique but regular shape, just built in the center of the yard, surrounded by surrounding bushes, leaving only a very narrow path. Directly opposite the pool was a pavilion, and on both sides of the pavilion were symmetrical corridors. Through the pavilion, you could vaguely see a three-open villa, which must be where you can stay.

I searched all the mansions, but I couldn't find You Ruojun's residence. I guess the only place is left here. Looking at the layout here, although it is green, it is a bit rigid. Moreover, there are so many shrubs here, only those who are familiar with the arts know that the shrubs have the effect of exorcising evil spirits. If You Ruojun is really a demon-catching person, then her residence is very likely to be arranged like this.

With intuition, I approached the other courtyard carefully. The closer I got, the clearer the voices coming from the room. In an instant, my nerves tensed up again, because the voices I heard were from the person wandering in my heart - Meng Yunzhong.

"Ruojun, you have to rest first, I won't be here to accompany you tonight."

My heart was cold, and I didn't expect the first sentence I heard would be like this. Could it be that they... I suddenly felt a complete loss, and then I was coldly ridiculing myself. Is it just a little bit melancholy for me when I came here?

"Yun Zhong..."

It was You Ruojun's voice. For some reason, when I heard this voice, I suddenly felt a very strong hatred. I just wanted to immediately implement the transaction with the fox demon.

But when I continued to savor, I found that the sound was a little strange, probably a little weak. I felt a little happy in my heart, so I approached the house a little closer and walked to the window.

Through the gaps opened by the window, I saw You Ruojun lying on the bed, her face was indeed a little pale and her expression was free. She seemed to be really sick, and she was very sick.

"Brother Yi has already arrived at Fu Yuanwai. You can rest assured and wait for a while. When he comes back to get the medicine, you will be fine after taking it."

Meng Yunzhong had already walked to the door, but when he heard You Ruojun's call, he couldn't help but turn around and cover the quilt for her, but his words had already shown that he had decided to leave.

"..." You Ruojun wanted to speak but stopped, but could only look at Meng Yunzhong's back with a helpless and melancholy expression.

Meng Yunzhong left the room and gently brought the door. At this moment, I suddenly became jealous again. Because at this moment I clearly recalled the day and night he took care of me in the wooden house. He was the same, and gently closed the door for me, but it was all after I was "slept". At that time, he didn't know that every move he made was seen by me. Thinking of this, I balanced a lot, because he didn't seem to have such patience to You Ruojun.

Seeing Meng Yunzhong leave, I wanted to go up and call him, ask him if he still remembers the days he was in the wooden house together, and tell him that I was back. But at this time, I can't just appear like this. He is a mortal. Only by getting along with him as a mortal can I maintain that beautiful and stable. If I break this boundary, I am afraid that I will not even have the chance to see you again.

Meng Yunzhong quickly walked to the gate of the courtyard, but suddenly stopped and paused, and measured the probe in the direction I was hiding. I immediately became nervous. But he then continued to move, left the courtyard, and walked towards the opposite direction. I watched his back, and my heart throbbing slightly calmed down, and then I looked at the wooden house again.

I originally thought that You Ruojun would play the same trick with me, but seeing that she was still lying weakly on the bed, I knew she was really sick.

So, Meng Yunzhong did not go back to the wooden house because she was sick? Then they were not... together yet...

I seemed to breathe a sigh of relief silently, but the fox demon's transaction suddenly occupied my heart. I looked at her and smiled coldly, faded away the hidden world set up, and then boldly opened the door and walked to her, smiling at her with a look of horror.

"You..." She opened her mouth wide at first, but in the end she didn't scream, leaving only a look of surprise and doubt, and then, she turned into anger.

"You haven't...didn't you say you won't come back?" she growled in resentment.

"I'm not dead yet? Yes, that poison doesn't seem to be so powerful. Moreover, I just said I won't come to him again, but I didn't say I won't come to you." I smiled faintly at her, knowing that she was a little uncomfortable with laughter.

She barely supported her body with her elbows, stared at me hatefully, and gasped loudly, as if she was in pain. Looking at her appearance, I seemed to think she was just a dying old woman, and even breathing was exhausting. Even at the corner of her eyes, I seemed to have really seen a few wrinkles.

She stared at my gaze and suddenly became nervous. She quickly turned her face and roared at me:

"Go out! Go out quickly! I won't offend you anymore, don't come to me!"

I was really surprised at her reaction, but I immediately laughed again.

"Are you so afraid of me? Sister You... catch, demon, human--"

She was speechless, still facing away from me.

"I forgot to tell you that the fox demon is going to make a deal with me."

She suddenly turned her head and stared at me, wanting to speak but stopping. Seeing her excited reaction, I became more and more interested in my heart.

"What do you...what do you want to do?"

She endured for a moment, probably because she guessed that I had known about her asking the fox demon to poison it. In fact, when she suddenly appeared in front of me that night, preparing to use demon-transforming water to deal with me, it might not matter that I knew or didn't know. But she didn't seem to have expected that the demon-virus did not take my life.

"Do you remember? You promised me to take good care of Brother Yun Zhong, but now he is taking care of you. Is this considered breaking your promise?"

Thinking of everything she did that day and her love for Meng Yunzhong, I became increasingly unbalanced. Perhaps at that time, I thought I was going to disappear completely, so I hope someone could take care of Meng Yunzhong for me, but now, I am alive. What burns the most vigorously in a woman's heart is the flame of competing with another woman for the same man's heart. Since I have not left yet, why should I choose to give in? Moreover, it is to give in to someone I don't like very much.

She seemed to understand it, as if she was trying hard to guess what I was planning now.

"Originally, I didn't want to agree to the Fox Demon's deal, but now I'm really angry when I see you ignore your promises to me like this." I said it very peacefully, so peaceful that she looked a little stiff all over.

"What deal does she want to do with you?" She hesitated and finally couldn't help asking this question.

"Can't you guess?" I looked at her indifferently.

"Damn the fox demon, does she want you to kill me?"

"Sister You, I knew you wouldn't be that stupid."

She suddenly looked angry, and there seemed to be a few lines on her forehead.

"However, I haven't considered whether to make this deal with her. After all, my relationship with you is much deeper than her, and there is still a promise between you and me that has not been completed."

She didn't seem to be listening to me. She must be very complicated now. Her eyes were wandering, as if she was looking further away. Perhaps because I didn't tell her that I was going to kill her now, she felt a little calmer, or, what she was struggling with was not my deal with the fox demon, but something else.

"Sister You." I smiled coldly, and she suddenly woke up from her thoughts.

"Then what are you looking for me?"

"Actually, it's nothing. The fox demon told me that you live here, I just want to come and have a look."

"What do you think?" Her anger moved to me again.

"Look at how well you and Brother Yun Zhong are doing without me. However, it doesn't seem as sweet as I imagined."

Until this moment, I still did not miss the opportunity to ridicule her. I just looked at her current illness and I had some hesitation for no reason. Moreover, if I killed her now, I wonder if it would have an impact on Meng Yunzhong. I was immediately in a state of entanglement of thoughts, and suddenly I didn't understand the purpose of my trip. Even though I confirmed that Meng Yunzhong did live here, even if I saw You Ruojun's uneasy days now, even if I told her that I was not poisoned to death, even if I had the chance to ridicule her and ridicule her, so what? I don't even have

I know how Meng Yunzhong views my sudden disappearance, and I don’t know how You Ruojun explained to him. If I appeared rashly in front of him, what else would he have besides being as surprised as You Ruojun? Will he be with me without hesitation? Will he let go of his engagement with You Ruojun? The deal of the fox demon has been entangled in my heart. Those two secrets really surprised me and I really want to know the answer immediately. What exactly is there between Meng Yunzhong and my mother that I don’t know? Do I really want to accept this deal?

"As long as you are not here, I can live a good life with him and not be interfered with by others."

You Ruojun woke me up with a word from the scene. I looked at her coldly, as if I wanted to see her through and break her eyes, but in the end I still smiled.

"Sister You, do you want to make a bet with me? If you win, I won't make that deal with the Fox Demon. If you lose..."

She still looked at me with hatred because she knew that she would have to fight if she didn't fight this bet.

"If you can marry Brother Yun Zhong within two months, I will let you go. I will not interfere with your affairs, but you must not interfere with what I want to do. How about it?"

"ridiculous."

She held it in for a while and only said two words. Even if she was angry and dissatisfied, she could not help but go. I looked at her and smiled, and suddenly felt a little sympathetic to her now. Although her tone was disdainful, it was hard to hide the anxiety that came out of it. It seemed that someone had taken away her confidence. Perhaps even she could not tell whether she could win this bet.
