The Love of Mingya in the Fox Spirit

"Yes, I still have some things to do."

"Then we'll see you off."

Just as Li Quzhuo and Li Zizai were about to get up to see Zhuge Ming off, a tremendous force suddenly appeared on their shoulders, forcibly pressing them back down!

"How could I trouble you two brothers? I'll go see Brother Kongming off, okay?!"

Li Quzhuo's expression changed, and he turned around to see Li Muchen looking at them with a smile.

Although Li Muchen's tone was gentle, Li Quzhuo felt that the atmosphere had suddenly become extremely gloomy, and he couldn't help but shiver.

He exchanged a helpless glance with Li Zizai, both understanding the meaning in their younger sister's eyes: You two sit still, I'll take Brother Kongming with me!

"Then, second brother, we won't see you off..."

Li Quzhuo forced a smile, but Zhuge Ming knew that beneath that smile lay endless pain, for Zhuge Ming could clearly see that the stool beneath them had cracked...

Let me silently mourn for these two brothers for three seconds!

"Yeah, it's nothing."

However, he still had to pretend that he knew nothing and nodded indifferently.

"Kongming, over here!!"

Li Muchen skipped away from behind Li Quzhuo and, with Zhuge Ming in tow, returned the way they came.

Watching their younger sister's departing figure, Li Quzhuo and Li Zizai struggled to their feet, supporting each other.

"Crack!!"

The stool shattered with a crack.

"Brother, where did my little sister get such strength? She almost knocked me out."

Li Quzhuo rubbed his shoulder with a contorted expression, looking like he had just escaped a disaster.

Although Li Zizai was also in pain, his attention remained focused on the little girl who was chattering and laughing incessantly next to Zhuge Ming in the distance.

"Ugh……"

After a long while, Li Zizai withdrew his gaze and let out a heavy sigh.

"what happened?"

"My little sister, sigh, I clearly told her that her second brother already has someone he likes, why won't she let go?"

Upon hearing this, Li Quzhuo's expression returned to seriousness, and he shook his head helplessly.

"Sigh, you know my little sister's personality. Once she's made up her mind, she'll never let go. It's just a pity about my second brother..."

-----------

"Hey, Brother Kongming, didn't you guys go to the Southern Kingdom a few days ago?"

On the way, Li Muchen suddenly asked.

"Hmm? That's right."

"So, the masked man who fought the Poison King of the Southern Kingdom really was you? Amazing!!"

Zhuge Ming smiled slightly and didn't say anything more.

"How's your practice of the Eight Formations of Zhuge Liang that I taught you last time?"

Upon hearing the mention of formations, Li Muchen's previously excited expression immediately wilted, and he replied in a low voice, "Brother Kongming, am I really that stupid? No matter how I practice the Eight Formations of Wuhou that you taught me, I just can't combine all eight formations together..."

Zhuge Ming slowly shook his head.

The Eight Formations of Zhuge Liang was an intermediate-level formation that Zhuge Liang initially used, and its power was not weak. However, as Zhuge Liang's opponents became stronger, the power of the Eight Formations of Zhuge Liang became less and less effective, and eventually Zhuge Liang simply abandoned using this formation.

However, that only means that its power is relatively insufficient. Once the complete Wuhou Eight Formations are set up, it is more than enough to deal with a demon king. Therefore, its learning difficulty is not weak. It is expected that Li Muchen will not be able to combine it in a short time.

"It's already quite an achievement to be able to set them up independently. You don't need to underestimate yourself. You have great talent; all you lack is time."

After receiving Zhuge Ming's affirmation, Li Muchen's slightly downcast mood gradually improved. She looked up at Zhuge Ming and asked expectantly:

"After I have fully mastered the Eight Formations of Zhuge Liang, can you teach me other formations?"

Seeing Li Muchen's expectant expression, Zhuge Ming really didn't want to teach her any more formations, but he just couldn't bring himself to say it.

"Alright, I'll teach you once you've fully mastered the Eight Formations of Zhuge Liang."

In the end, Zhuge Ming gave up resisting, after all, he really had no reason to refuse such a plea.

"But Mu Chen, before that, you have to promise me one thing."

"Okay, go ahead."

"I can teach you formations, but you must remember one thing: you must not use the formations I teach you to actively harm others. Of course, if someone provokes you, you don't have to hold back. This is our agreement."

The promise he made to me...

"Don't worry, Brother Kongming, I will keep my promise!"

Li Muchen blushed, nodding his head repeatedly as if he had thought of something.

Zhuge Ming glanced at Li Muchen and was completely bewildered when he saw her slightly flushed face.

I have no idea what this little girl is thinking about all day long.

However, it was precisely because of this agreement that Li Muchen did not use any formations in Mutian City. Otherwise, given Li Muchen's mastery of formations at that time, he could have easily killed Steward Fei and the others without Jin Chenxi.

"Alright, I'll leave it here. I'll just use the spatial array to teleport away."

Seeing that they were almost done leaving the Li family, Zhuge Ming stopped and began to set up the formation.

"Um, Brother Kongming, you..."

Watching Zhuge Ming's retreating figure, Li Muchen reached out his hand, but hesitated to speak.

"Hmm?" Zhuge Ming tilted his head and stopped what he was doing.

Looking at Zhuge Ming's sharply defined face, Li Muchen blushed and murmured in a barely audible voice, his head lowered: "I, that..."

Although Zhuge Ming's face remained expressionless, his thoughts drifted far away.

? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

What's going on? Is she confessing her feelings to me? This is probably the first time a girl has ever confessed to me since I came into this world, I'm a little excited...

Cough cough, no, I'm not the kind of person who's indecisive, but how do I handle this situation? I have absolutely no experience with it!

Zhuge Ming had basically never experienced being confessed to by a girl before; the only time was when he was in high school in his previous life.

That day, a girl in his class suddenly blushed and ran up to Zhuge Ming during break time, saying to him, "I think I've fallen for you."

This should be considered the first time he's been confessed to. If it were a normal guy who'd been single for over a decade, he would have already found a girlfriend by now. But this guy just paused for a moment, and then gave a ridiculous reply that even the most hardcore straight men would admire.

Are you kidding me?

! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

I don't know how that girl felt at the time, but Zhuge Ming wanted to slap himself after he said it. How could a human being say something like that? He deserves to be single forever.

Chapter 108 "Arrangements"

A handsome man and a beautiful woman alone under the moon should be a romantic scene, but why, why does it feel like an execution ground when it comes to Zhuge Ming?

Although only a few seconds had passed outside, Zhuge Ming felt as if several years had gone by.

Or, why not steel yourself, be the bad guy this time, and just cut the Gordian knot by refusing outright?

Finally, after thinking it over for a while, Zhuge Ming made up his mind. Although this might hurt Li Muchen, there was no other way!

"hug……"

"Brother Kongming...can I go out and have fun with you guys?"

Just as Zhuge Ming was about to state his position directly, Li Muchen's words shut him down.

"Huh?" Zhuge Ming was taken aback.

Oh my god! Little sister, next time you make a request like that, could you please not put on that shy, confessing-your-love face?! It made me start having all sorts of wild thoughts...

The biggest misconception for boys is: "That girl glanced at me twice, does she like me?"

"Ahem, it's no use talking to me about this. Although I know you want to say that your brother and the others will listen to me, this is your family matter, and I can't force them to include you in it."

Zhuge Ming coughed to ease the awkwardness, and then declined Li Muchen's request.

What a joke! Normally he might have thought about it, but since there's no danger, he'd just take it with him and treat it like a vacation.

But next time, their operation will most likely be to go directly outside the circle. Although he already knows the outcome of this time going outside the circle, he is still very uneasy.

They themselves don't even know if they can protect their royal power and hegemony, and now they're taking you along too? Are they going to go out and add some side dishes to the outside world? Can you really take down those outsiders with a single slide tackle?

A firm no!

"Oh~ I knew it..." Li Muchen pouted.

Seeing Li Muchen's dejected state, Zhuge Ming also felt a headache coming on; he really didn't know how to coax girls.

So he could only add, "I'll skip it next time, but when I come back next time, I'll take you out once."

"Really? It's a deal!!" Li Muchen exclaimed happily.

"real……"

Zhuge Ming glanced at Li Muchen with a complicated expression, then turned his head away, avoiding looking at Li Muchen's jubilant expression. He knew he was deceiving this girl.

Because next time, they're going outside the circle, and I probably won't be coming back...

A moment later, looking at the spot where Zhuge Ming had left, a few tears silently slid down Li Muchen's face, which had been all smiles.

In fact, Zhuge Ming guessed correctly; Li Muchen really did want to confess his feelings to Zhuge Ming.

For some reason, Li Muchen had a premonition today that this might be the last time she would see him.

So Li Muchen decided to be brave this time!

Although Zhuge Ming concealed his facial expressions very well, the clever Li Muchen still guessed the result from some subtle movements that Zhuge Ming himself had not noticed. That's why she changed the question before Zhuge Ming could speak.

In his presence, she only wanted to be a guileless, innocent younger sister…

"Oh, what a tragedy..."

In the distance, watching Li Muchen's desolate figure, the two who had been spying on him through Li Quzhuo's magic weapon also sighed in unison.
