"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully used 1 Mandarin Duck Stone on Ling Yuan! Ling Yuan's favorability +1, current favorability is 2!"
"Ding! Congratulations, host, for successfully raising Ling Yuan's favorability to level two. Rewards: 1000 points, 100 Mandarin Duck Stones, 1000 Demon Crystals, 10 Mid-Tier Cultivation Pills, 1 Jade Bracelet, 1 Fire Fox Fur, 1 Seven-Colored Feather Robe, 1 Mystic Spirit Robe, 1 Crimson Flame Spirit Pearl, 1 Wind-Slaying Sword, 1 Mid-Tier Cloud-Breaking Fan, and 5 Low-Tier Storage Bags. We hope you will continue your efforts!"
As the system announced, Lu Jinyan left the courtyard. Watching Lu Jinyan's retreating figure, Ling Yuan looked down at the small red stone in his hand and frowned.
The stone disappears after a short while, seemingly entering the body, but the body feels no different. It doesn't seem to be poisonous. Could it be something that controls the demon slave?
Ling Yuan was puzzled, but he dared not ask. Since it was given to him by his master, how could he refuse it? Even if it was poison, he could only obediently accept it.
It seems I need to hurry and win Lu Jinyan's heart as soon as possible so that I can save my life.
Meanwhile, Lu Jinyan was unaware of Ling Yuan's thoughts. She had already led Liu Xu to the front door. She was going to Sister Furong's shop. The couple had helped her a lot before, and she didn't have much to repay them with, so she wrote down a few recipes to teach them.
Uncle Mu's business is doing very well now, and Lu Jinyan thought that since Ruoshui City is so big, perhaps their dishes would also be popular. But as soon as the door opened, she saw Mo Xuan and Chu Li standing outside.
"Mo Xuan, what brings you here!" Lu Jinyan was somewhat surprised. Why was Mo Xuan outside the door? Lu Jinyan panicked for a moment and quickly stepped out of the threshold to greet him, as if afraid that Mo Xuan might accidentally see something.
"Yan'er? Um, I, I came to find you. I have something to say to you! Is Yan'er going out?" Mo Xuan wasn't mentally prepared at first, but the door suddenly opened, and he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go in.
"Oh, I was just about to go find Sister-in-law Furong. By the way, you don't know this, do you? Sister-in-law Furong is Uncle Mu's daughter-in-law. When I first came to Ruoshui City, I stayed at their inn. They helped me a lot in finding this place, so I was thinking of teaching Sister-in-law Furong how to cook a few dishes to see if the locals could take over. If they could, we could consider opening a restaurant in Ruoshui City. I never expected to run into you!" Lu Jinyan stepped forward and grabbed Mo Xuan's hand, smiling, but she was actually panicking inside.
"Oh, since Yan'er has something to do, then I won't bother you any longer! Go ahead!" Mo Xuan felt inexplicably relieved when he heard that Lu Jin Yan had something to do.
"It's okay, I can go later. What do you need me for? Or, can we talk as we walk?" Lu Jinyan was thinking that she should get Mo Xuan away as soon as possible to avoid running into her family members when they came out.
"Okay!" Mo Xuan's palms were sweating with nervousness. He didn't even notice that Lu Jinyan's attitude was a bit impatient, so he followed her away.
Chu Li was single, so he naturally didn't understand. Anyway, since his master left, he naturally had to follow.
As before, Lu Jinyan and Mo Xuan walked hand in hand in front, with Liu Xu and Chu Li following not far behind.
"Xuanxuan, what do you want from me?" Once outside the vicinity of her home, Lu Jinyan was no longer so tense. She tilted her head, her face full of curiosity.
"Xuan, Xuanxuan?" Mo Xuan didn't react to this address for a moment.
"Yes, this is the nickname I gave you. What do you think? Do you like it?" Lu Jinyan thought to herself, Ruohan is Hanhan and Moxuan is Xuanxuan. She's so clever; she doesn't even have to think of nicknames.
"I like it. I like anything that Yan'er named!" Mo Xuan held Lu Jin Yan's hand tightly, thinking that since Yan'er liked him so much, he could no longer hide it from her.
"Yan'er, could you give me some time? Let's find a place to talk. I have something I want to tell you!"
"Sure!" Lu Jinyan readily agreed, since she wasn't in a hurry anyway.
So the four of them found a teahouse and asked for a private room. Chu Li and Liu Xu stood guard outside the door to prevent anyone from disturbing their master, while Lu Jinyan followed Mo Xuan into the private room.
Once inside, Mo Xuan didn't reveal the truth directly. Instead, he took out a small box from his pocket and said, "Yan'er, this is a gift for you. Do you like it?"
This was a gift that he and Chu Li had been choosing for a long time. He didn't know if Yan'er would like it. He thought that if he gave her the gift first to make her happy, and then talked about other things, she wouldn't be too angry. This was what Chu Li said. He didn't know if it would work.
"There's another gift?" Lu Jinyan was a little surprised. She took the box from Mo Xuan and opened it. Inside was a pair of gold bracelets. The bracelets were exquisitely crafted and engraved with many beautiful patterns.
"I love it, I love it so much, thank you Xuanxuan!" Lu Jinyan was a little touched. She had casually mentioned that she liked gold before, but she didn't expect Mo Xuan to remember it!
It wasn't that she liked gold; it was because of her grandmother's influence. Her grandmother said that gold was a good thing—it could be used for travel expenses when you were poor, and for jewelry when you were rich! When you had money, you could buy some and keep it, and if you needed money urgently, you could sell it to tide you over. So she remembered this saying.
"I'm glad Yan'er is happy!" Mo Xuan breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Lu Jinyan really liked it and let Mo Xuan put the bracelet on her wrist.
"Didn't Xuanxuan say he had something to tell me?" Lu Jinyan asked Mo Xuan while admiring the bracelet on her wrist.
"Um, well, it's nothing, how about we talk about it next time?" Mo Xuan was still a little unsure.
"Since you're already here, just say what's on your mind. Why are you beating around the bush? You didn't do something to offend me, did you?" Lu Jinyan teased Mo Xuan, pretending to be angry.
"No, no, I didn't. How could I do anything to betray Yan'er? Yan'er, don't think such things. I'll talk, I'll talk, okay?"
Mo Xuan was getting anxious; he was genuinely afraid that Lu Jinyan would get angry.
"Alright then, go ahead and say it!" Lu Jinyan found it a bit funny. She never expected that Mo Xuan, who looked like an iceberg CEO, would have such a cute side.
"Alright, Yan'er, actually I do have something to tell you, but I hope you won't be angry with me after you hear it." Mo Xuan took a deep breath, and then recounted his identity, including why he was seriously injured that day and was saved by her, why he left back then, and why he hadn't returned this time. He explained everything in great detail.
