Chapter 655: This is truly a win-win situation for everyone.
Mu Luolan was still worried that Mu Qingyu would be deceived.
She has basically never left the Twilight Immortal Demon Kingdom. She may know a lot about the demon race, but as for humans...
It can only be said that there are good and bad people in the world, but no matter what, they are not lacking in dirty and dark thoughts. Mu Qingyu doesn't have that much experience; she is truly a blank slate. That's why Mu Luolan is extremely worried that Mu Qingyu will be deceived and sold out while still counting the money for the seller!
Why would I lie to you? Besides, do you think I'm that easily fooled?
"..."
Mu Luolan did not answer, but her meaning had been conveyed.
Mu Qingyu's tail bristled, her face turned red, and she looked quite adorable with her huffy expression: "Hey! Do you really think I'm some stupid fox who's easily fooled?"
"Pfft-"
Mu Luolan couldn't help but chuckle, but still nodded in agreement: "Alright, alright, you're not easily fooled, but you can't be too careful."
Mu Qingyu then hummed twice in satisfaction.
Who says she isn't wary of others?
I've been tormented by my cravings for days, but I still carefully chose a human who seemed reliable to freeload off!
I never expected to get a free meal from a super big shot.
Whether Gu Heng was a powerful figure or not, Mu Qingyu actually had a good sense of judgment in her heart, and she felt that he was!
She has a gut feeling!
There is also evidence!
Although the evidence was somewhat flimsy, and Mu Qingyu initially felt uneasy about trusting a human she had only met for less than an hour, she might not be standing here now, watching the beautiful courtesans play music, if it weren't for Brother Gu's powerful emergency pill.
Besides, how much worse can things get?
She actually had no choice.
She's either forced to marry the grandson of that old man who holds her future in his hands, or she takes a gamble and trusts Gu Heng!
Mu Qingyu chose to take a gamble.
Since she lost the bet anyway, the worst that could happen was that she committed suicide, which would save her from having to suffer like this.
"Anyway, you'll understand when you see him."
Mu Qingyu wasn't in a hurry. Since they had already agreed to meet here, Mu Luolan would also be able to see Gu Heng later, and she would have her own judgment after seeing him.
But the arrival of another uninvited guest was unexpected. "So you were hiding here after all."
A discordant sound rang out, causing Mu Qingyu to frown.
She looked up toward the doorway, and the face that came into view was that of the very person who had caused her to leave the clan.
Bai Mo is the grandson of Bai Yu Xian Zun.
At just over six hundred years old, he had already reached the tenth level of the Golden Immortal realm. In terms of talent, he was already considered one of the best among the younger generation, but he was not as good as Mu Qingyu. There were many people among humans who were more powerful than him, but his outstanding talent was not in cultivation, but in the art of alchemy!
As the sole heir to Bai Yu Xianzun's talent in alchemy, he is now a top-tier alchemy master. Although he is not as good as his grandfather, no one doubts that Bai Mo will surpass his master in the future.
But Mu Qingyu disliked this brilliant and talented young man.
Without him.
This guy appears humble, but he's actually quite contemptuous and arrogant inside, and his actions don't match his words—a common flaw among most prodigies. It's not really a problem; it's fine for capable people to be a little arrogant, but Mu Qingyu really dislikes this kind of personality; it clashes with her straightforward nature.
Now she's being asked to marry him; it would be strange if she were willing.
There's absolutely no affection involved. If I were to marry her, who knows what kind of trouble she'd cause in the future.
How did you find me?
Mu Qingyu said coldly.
She never expected that Bai Mo would find her.
“It’s simple. I casually offered a small reward within the fox clan, and one of your clansmen told me that you have a very good relationship with a cousin named Mu Luolan.”
"Since you've run away from home and been wandering for a month or two, you'll eventually need to find a place to stay, won't you?"
Bai Mo spoke eloquently. Then, his gaze swept over the food on the table, finally settling on Mu Luolan: "I suppose this must be Miss Mu Luolan. It's been a long time."
"Oh dear, you are the renowned 'Bai Yu's Descendant,' while I am but a fox with mediocre talent, not worthy of your mention."
Mu Luolan said something indifferently.
"Hehe." Bai Mo chuckled lightly, "As expected of her clan elder sister, her sarcastic tone is almost identical."
"..."
Mu Qingyu's face immediately darkened.
"There's no point in discussing marriage. You might as well go back to where you came from."
Bai Mo remained unperturbed, slowly sitting down with an air of composure: "Is that so? In that case, let's speak frankly."
"Marry me, and I will become the one who refines elixirs to save lives. Of course, once you become my woman, I will wholeheartedly protect you..." "But if you don't want to marry me, then I will cancel the marriage to avoid this troublesome matter disturbing my peaceful cultivation. What do you think?"
After saying this, Bai Mo remained expressionless, but in his heart he already felt that he had the upper hand.
He understood Mu Qingyu's personality very well.
This young princess is endlessly pampered by her clan. Although she can be willful and unreasonable at times, she is absolutely clear about right and wrong. She is probably still feeling extremely guilty and ashamed for sneaking out on a whim.
Without his grandfather's elixir, Mu Qingyu would surely die!
She has less than a hundred years left, and all the sacrifices the entire Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Clan has made for her will be in vain. She doesn't know which is more important, so let's see if he or the Nine-Tailed Celestial Venerable is more anxious.
"You want to cancel the wedding?"
Mu Qingyu looked up.
"Since you're unwilling, then let's cancel it." Bai Mo sneered inwardly as he watched Mu Qingyu's sudden change in mood. He knew it.
Mu Qingyu simply couldn't bear the consequences of canceling the engagement. She wanted to live, and she didn't want to be a sinful fox who had let down the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Clan!
Bai Mo was most adept at this tactic of advancing by retreating.
Hmph, he's just a little fox, how could he not handle him?
Anyway, after taking Mu Qingyu's primordial yin, it's hard to say how useful she will be, but even after losing their virginity, the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox Clan is still an excellent dual cultivation vessel.
You can keep it and enjoy it slowly, use it whenever you want.
"Okay, then let's cancel it!"
Mu Qingyu said directly.
Bai Mo was stunned: "What did you say?"
"Since we both want to cancel, let's just cancel it then."
"Goodbye, Young Master Bai!" Mu Qingyu was practically beaming with joy. She never expected such a wonderful opportunity to fall asleep right when she was looking for a pillow!
He actually wants to cancel too?
That would be fantastic!
Mu Qingyu was already worried that she wanted to cancel the marriage, but Bai Moruo was refusing to do so, which could easily strain the relationship between the two parties. Now that he was so agreeable, wouldn't both parties be happy?
Suddenly I feel so carefree and relaxed!
Bai Mo's expression changed slightly, but he remained calm and composed. However, despite his composure, he did not expect that Mu Qingyu would actually come to his aid!
Wait a minute... something's wrong with this plot!
