"Yunyun, do you want to go with them or stay here?" she asked. Among everyone present, only Xiao Yun remained unpredictable and unreadable to her. Most of the time, Xiao Yun would leave her to experience things independently; occasionally, he would guide her, but he generally preferred joining in the fun with others.
"Yunyun will stay with you, Master," Xiao Yun replied, snuggling into her arms.
"Boss Yun, are you sure you’re not coming?" Xiao Li winked playfully.
"Nope, I will guide the Master to find something. You all should behave, avoid provoking enemies unless necessary. And if you must beat or kill someone, ensure no one uncovers your identity. Be sure to collect as much as you can," Xiao Yun advised, his fox ears twitching. A pair of exquisite jade earrings adorned his ears, making him look both adorable and otherworldly.
"We got it, Big Brother Yun!" Everyone nodded respectfully, understanding the deeper meaning behind his warning.
Shenlian Yingyue tilted her head, observing their interaction without interference. She took out a bottle of spiritual berry juice, sipping it as she waited for everyone to finalize their plans.
Soon, everyone dispersed into their respective groups.
"You’re not thinking of sending us away too, are you, Yue’er?" Shenlian Yinzhu asked his sister after Xiao Li and the others had departed.
"Brother, do you feel like something is calling to you?" Shenlian Yingyue looked at him, her lips moist, red, and soft after drinking the spiritual juice.
Shenlian Yinzhu’s eyes darkened upon noticing her unintentional movement. Even without trying to seduce anyone, her every gesture made his heart race. He was taken aback by her question and nodded. How did Yue’er know?
"Then, Brother, you should go there," she said cheerfully.
"But," he approached, holding her hands anxiously. He didn’t want to leave her at all. What if he lost her again? What if she disappeared?
"This time, nothing will happen. Don’t forget, we made a soul contract with each other. No matter where I go, you can always sense me. Also, with Yunyun and the others here with me, I won’t get hurt." She felt bad seeing his panic and gently comforted him.
"Yue’er, if we all leave, who will protect you when you need help?" He frowned.
"Master, leave Brother Xue and Bu Si Shu here," Xiao Yun interjected when she was about to reply to her brother.
She was surprised but nodded.
Bing Xue looked at Xiao Yun gratefully. He now wanted to stay with her.
Xiao Yun nodded back at him.
"Why should I stay with her?" Bu Si Shu clicked his tongue in annoyance.
"If you don’t want to, you can leave. But if something happens to the Master, your life will be over too. So, you’re her bodyguard," Xiao Yun said, playing with the divine cherry in his paws.
Bu Si Shu’s face darkened, but Shenlian Yingyue pretended not to notice his scowl.
