The woman looked at him with a coquettish smile and said, “Why don’t you cultivate with me? I’ll let you go in return.”
This was a precious treasure, a great supplement for these spiritual beings. One cultivation session with her was equivalent to ten or eight years of their own practice.
However, the woman accompanying him didn’t seem easy to deal with. There was an inexplicable dangerous aura around her. She had put so much effort into capturing him; naturally, she couldn’t just let him go.
As she spoke, her eyes slowly transformed into two black vortexes, as if she intended to suck him directly into them.
At the same time, the entire space suddenly trembled, and the dark gray mist above seemed to tear open a huge hole.
A long sword descended from that hole like a towering pillar, carrying an earth-shattering momentum as it slashed toward the woman.
Startled, the woman let out a scream and instantly transformed into a giant clamshell, tightly closing up.
Gu Shiyan turned around to look, and he was back on the bustling street again.
Beside him, Lu Miao was holding a wooden sword, exuding a murderous aura. When she saw Gu Shiyan coming out, she formed a hand seal with one hand and directly flung a talisman at the clamshell.
Then, she reached back and stored the huge river clam inside her own space pendant.
The entire street fell silent for a moment, and everyone’s gaze turned toward them.
Lu Miao pulled Gu Shiyan’s hand and whispered, “Let’s go quickly. I have captured that clam spirit, and the Ghost Market Inspection Team will arrive soon. Once the Ghost Market closes, we won’t be able to leave.”
As soon as she finished speaking, a group of people wearing cloaks and masks, holding long spears, appeared at the end of the marketplace and charged towards them.
In this world, there were many talented individuals, and not only ordinary people came to the Ghost Market. Some other spiritual beings were also engaged in some shady deals here.
With the appearance of the Inspection Team, the calm street instantly descended into chaos.
Lu Miao quickly pulled Gu Shiyan through the chaotic crowd and ran in the direction they came from.
When the two were about to reach the bridge, a transparent barrier suddenly descended from the sky.
“Damn it, the Ghost Market is closing.”
The two were still hundreds of meters away from the other side of the bridge, and they wouldn’t make it in time.
In her desperation, Lu Miao held Gu Shiyan tightly with one hand while taking out a talisman with the other. She hurriedly said something, grasped it tightly, and then flung the talisman down. The two of them instantly seemed to enter a washing machine.
The surroundings spun wildly, but luckily, this state didn’t last long. After a
short whirlwind, the two of them appeared right next to their car. Not far away, the only street lamp flickered intensely and then went out.
The entire path was engulfed in boundless darkness.
The person in front of him didn’t move.
Gu Shiyan suddenly thought of everything he experienced when he was brought into the illusion by the clam spirit. His body couldn’t help but stiffen.
Could it be that he was still in the illusion and hadn’t come out yet?
He tightly squeezed Lu Miao’s hand, and the palm of his hand felt even colder.
His mind raced rapidly.
“Ding ding.”
The car made two sounds, and the headlights instantly lit up.
Lu Miao saw him staring intently at her with his deep eyes and raised her hand to wave in front of him. ‘What are you thinking? Get in the car.”
Gu Shiyan glanced at her for a moment before letting go of her hand, taking a step forward, and said, “I’ll drive.”
Lu Miao didn’t ask any more questions and directly sat in the passenger seat.
Gu Shiyan drove while observing the surroundings through the car window. The vehicle followed the road he remembered, heading back the way they
came.
The car’s display screen showed that it was already four in the morning. Apart from the street lamps standing by the roadside, the entire city was asleep, with not a soul in sight. The silence inside the car was eerie.
Gu Shiyan furrowed his brows.
Seeing his expression, Lu Miao quickly guessed his thoughts. “The one we encountered earlier was a clam spirit. She can peer into human hearts and create corresponding illusions to deceive them. However, her illusions usually have limited range and are filled with loopholes.”
Lu Miao’s voice broke the silence in the car. She turned her head, raised an eyebrow, and looked at Gu Shiyan. ‘What did you see in the illusion just now?” His vigilance even after coming out of the illusion surprised her.
Gu Shiyan knew she was explaining to him and flashed back to the alluring scene of Lu Miao nestled in his arms inside the illusion. He cleared his throat twice and changed the topic, “It was nothing, just some trivial daily matters. But will it have any impact on you if we leave like this?”
Lu Miao glanced at him. They came out to relax, and she didn’t continue to press him for answers. “It’s nothing. At most, they’ll put me on a blacklist. It’s no big deal.”
Gu Shiyan sighed in his heart. Since the first time he met Lu Miao, she had never deliberately hidden anything from him. He always knew she was skilled in metaphysics, but he thought she only performed rituals, read feng shui, and divined fortunes for people.
Today, he realized that her world was so fascinating, full of various extraordinary people and events.
The difficulty of wooing after his wife seemed to have increased!
Seeing that his expression hadn’t improved, Lu Miao thought he was still thinking about Gu Zhixings matter and carefully considered her words, “Everything will be fine.”
Gu Shiyan snapped out of his thoughts and smiled at her, “Did you bring me here just because of that?”
“I was bored and happened to want to come for a stroll.” Lu Miao turned her head to look in the other direction.
The smile in Gu Shiyan’s eyes deepened. He didn’t expose her lie. “Well, in the future, when you’re bored, you can bring me along. I’ll accompany you.” Back at the Lingyue Manor, the living room was pitch dark.
Lu Miao gestured to Gu Shiyan to keep his voice down, and then they both tiptoed quietly as they headed upstairs.
PA!
The lights in the living room lit up.
Lu Yinan sat on the sofa with a pair of panda eyes.” You went on a date in the middle of the night?”
Lu Miao rubbed her nose.” Ahem, I just suddenly wanted to eat some skewers.
Coincidentally, he wasn’t asleep, so we went out to eat.””
“Is that so?” Lu Yinan walked up suspiciously and sniffed.
She seemed to have indeed smelled the fragrance of food. He glared at Gu
Shiyan and then severely criticized her for sneaking out with someone in the middle of the night. He scolded Gu Shiyan before letting her go back to sleep.
The next day, Lu Miao woke up at 11 am.
Gu Shiyan, a workaholic who did not know what rest was, did not go to the company for the first time.
Lu Miao looked around and saw the post-it note Lu Yinan had left on the fridge. He had to return to the capital for an emergency and would only be back in a few days.
Gu Shiyan had already asked someone to send the takeout from Tianxiang Restaurant and was waiting for her to get up.
The two of them were having lunch when Lu Miao’s phone rang. Gu Shiyan subconsciously turned his head to look at her phone screen..
