Their eyes met, and Lü Cheng's expression was strange.

"Why are you scolding me?"

"You...be careful!" Mu Ningxue quickly turned the arrow around and aimed it at the one-eyed demon wolf that was less than ten meters away from Lü Cheng, but she couldn't catch up with the two on the other side.

"Be careful of what?" Lü Cheng jumped off Xiaotian's back.

Mu Ningxue stared blankly at the other two one-eyed demon wolves that had turned tail and run away.

what's the situation?

"you……"

Before she could finish speaking, the backlash from the Ice Crystal Bow surged up, and a feeling of powerlessness instantly spread throughout her body. Mu Ningxue stumbled and fell to the ground.

"Why are you running around like that?" Lu Cheng reached out and caught the weak Mu Ningxue.

Do I need you to worry about me?

Mu Ningxue, who had just felt a little touched, reddened her eyes and glared at Lü Cheng with a wronged expression.

If I hadn't been worried about you, would I have come back?

"Oh, you're crying already?" Lu Cheng raised an eyebrow.

"Shut up!" Mu Ningxue groaned.

Boom!

Lu Cheng frowned, raised his hand and flicked the forehead, "Even in this state, you're still messing around with me?"

"..." Mu Ningxue raised her head, gritted her teeth, and looked aggrieved.

The backlash from the Ice Crystal Bow surged up, rendering her completely speechless.

It’s so cold!

Lu Cheng picked up the ice-cold Mu Ningxue, turned around and jumped onto Xiaotian's back.

The Horse Talisman is activated.

A warm power surged into Mu Ningxue's body, suppressing the backlash from the Ice Crystal Bow.

“You…” Mu Ningxue looked completely bewildered.

"Are you really that worried about me?" Lu Cheng asked.

Although he had raised her since she was a child, he wasn't really sure how much Mu Ningxue valued him.

After all, even his parents were willing to abandon him.

From then on, he stopped trusting the emotions he felt.

For a long time, he even doubted that his perception was an illusion, that he couldn't perceive the authenticity of these emotions at all.

This doubt persisted for many years before he gradually realized that humans are contradictory beings; love does not mean that one will not hurt.

Feelings don't mean anything.

Wanting to do something doesn't mean you'll actually do it.

Not wanting to do something doesn't mean you won't do it.

“I…” Mu Ningxue lowered her head, unsure how to answer the question.

"Can't you speak up? Or do you think this is shameful?" Lu Cheng asked.

Is it shameful to like me?

Mu Ningxue's expression tightened, "That's not what I meant..."

"Then why don't you dare admit it?" Lu Cheng asked.

“You know!” Mu Ningxue looked up and stared into Lü Cheng’s eyes.

Lu Cheng raised an eyebrow. "You like Mo Fan?"

"..."

"I like a pig!"

Mu Ningxue cursed angrily and bit down on Lü Cheng's wrist.

Time passed second by second, and Lü Cheng remained motionless. Mu Ningxue felt a pang in her heart as she felt the warmth flowing into her mouth and quickly opened her mouth.

"How did you..."

“He has indeed grown up.” Lü Cheng raised his wrist.

“Before, at most it would leave a tooth mark, but now it can bite through the skin.”

"I..." Mu Ningxue looked guilty.

"sorry."

"It's nothing." Lu Cheng lowered his head, aimed at Mu Ningxue's small mouth, and took a bite.

"..."

"Well!"

Mu Ningxue, her face flushed with embarrassment, pushed Lü Cheng away.

"you!"

“You bit first,” Lu Cheng shrugged.

"Me!" Mu Ningxue was speechless for a moment.

"Want more?" Lü Cheng lowered his head.

Mu Ningxue pursed her lips. "Why?"

"Why what?" Lu Cheng asked back.

“You know that!” Mu Ningxue’s eyes reddened.

"..."

“I do know.” Lü Cheng released Mu Ningxue.

"But what about you? Do you even know me?"

Mu Ningxue knew he had the ability to read minds; she had known since childhood. He had always relied on this ability to transform this seemingly cold and aloof man into a proud and pitiful little devil.

She couldn't hide anything from him, nor did she have any secrets.

When she was little, things were fine. She had a close friend who always knew her little thoughts and comforted her. But as Mu Ningxue grew up, she began to hate and even fear his ability.

In some ways, he had even more control over Mu Ningxue than Mu Zhuoyun did.

Mu Zhuoyun was only strict with Mu Ningxue's cultivation and life, but he also understood Mu Ningxue's thoughts perfectly.

Mu Ningxue ran away that night not only to rebel against Mu Zhuoyun's control over her, but also out of fear.

Afraid of him.

Therefore, he didn't know what to say about Mu Ningxue's elopement.

He was indeed angry because Mu Ningxue abandoned him, and even more angry because Mo Fan was involved in the matter, but he also knew that he was partly responsible for it.

His controlling nature caused Mu Ningxue to develop a fear of him and want to escape from him. She didn't want to be controlled by him like a puppet.

Therefore, he wasn't angry when Mu Ningxue ran away, because he understood the reason behind it.

But why did they leave with Mo Fan?

fate?

On the night Mu Ningxue left him at the Mu family manor, he kept thinking about whether there was some kind of destiny involved.

Will Mu Ningxue eventually end up with Mo Fan?

So who is he?

Things that I thought I could control now seem to have become irrelevant to me.

He became angry.

Not Mu Ningxue, not Mo Fan, but that fate whose existence is unknown.

If everything was predetermined, then what is he? What does everything he did matter?

Angry, resentful.

From then on, he was no longer as understanding as before.

You know? So what?

Does knowing something mean you have to understand it?

Does knowing something mean you have to obey it?

After going to the Demon Hell and bringing the Holy Lord out, he learned a lot about the so-called descendants of the immortal gods.

It's fate again!

His previous misfortunes seemed to have a reason, because of so-called fate, because the gods like to test people, so he was abandoned time and time again!
