Chapter 1631: Chapter 1631: I’m Here to Offer Myself to You
"I don’t believe it." The little boy grasped the item in his hand, looked at the little girl, and pronounced each word clearly.
"Hmm, you don’t believe it, you’re very smart. You have to become very strong in the future. Today I protect you; in the future, you will protect me." The little girl patted the little boy’s shoulder with an air of maturity, then turned and bounced away, responding loudly to the person calling her from afar as she skipped.
"I, I’m called Qian Ji." The little boy mustered up the courage and shouted to the little girl disappearing into the distance. The little girl didn’t turn back or stop walking; she just waved her hand in his direction and left. "I will become stronger in the future, definitely. I will be strong enough to protect you."
...
Qian Ji.
Mu Hanyan felt a bit complicated. So, it was Qian Ji whom she helped when she was six. It turns out she and Qian Ji knew each other long ago. However, she had also forgotten him.
Are both of these people gathered around her now because of her? Mu Hanyan wondered in her heart.
The next moment, the scene in front of her changed again. Mu Hanyan found herself back at the Crystal Palace, standing again in front of that nest, her hand still touching that egg.
The sense of closeness grew stronger as Mu Hanyan gently embraced the egg. She turned her head and saw Ye Lanfeng and Qian Ji, who seemed just to have come to their senses, standing behind her.
"I fell into the Illusion Realm," Mu Hanyan whispered.
"Me too." Ye Lanfeng and Qian Ji spoke simultaneously.
"I saw my first encounters with you two." A gentle and nostalgic smile suddenly appeared on Mu Hanyan’s face, and she fixed her gaze on the two people. "I’m sorry, I actually forgot you."
Ye Lanfeng and Qian Ji stood stunned, staring at Mu Hanyan’s smile and listening to her words. Their hearts felt heavy, but at the same time unusually warm.
Finally remembered, my Han Yan.
Finally remembered, my Princess.
"This egg, I feel like I know it somehow, very familiar, although this feeling is absurd, I really do have this feeling." Mu Hanyan said to the two, holding the egg in her arms.
"Then, this egg must be waiting for you, its destined person. That’s why it was so smooth when we entered." Ye Lanfeng said.
"If you feel familiar, that’s proof you are destined for each other." Qian Ji nodded, agreeing with Ye Lanfeng’s view.
"Could this be a Phoenix Egg?" Mu Hanyan whispered as she stroked the egg in her arms.
"We’ll know once it hatches," Ye Lanfeng frowned. "However, I don’t recommend hatching it now. Let’s take it back to show Master first. Then you can hatch this egg under Master’s supervision."
"Right, if hatching this egg requires too much Qi, it could be dangerous." Qian Ji also advised.
Then Ye Lanfeng and Qian Ji exchanged glances and fell silent. They never agreed on anything except matters involving Mu Hanyan.
"Okay, let’s go then." Mu Hanyan thought for a moment, then tucked the egg, slightly larger than a chicken egg, into the neckline of her clothes. It fit snugly above ***.
So envious of that egg!
Ye Lanfeng and Qian Ji thought sadly at the same time.
Mu Hanyan took a step, then stopped, turning to the two and saying, "By the way, about Chen Ziyu, just give him a lesson, don’t kill him. For the sake of the Sect Leader’s Uncle, don’t go too far. The Sect Leader’s Uncle was always nice to me, even bought me a lot of tasty treats when I was little."
Hmm, that fool’s life is only worth some tasty treats.
Ye Lanfeng and Qian Ji’s thoughts synchronized once again. Then the two nodded, "Got it, Senior Sister, we understand."
"That’s good." Mu Hanyan turned and continued walking forward, chuckling softly as she went, "Have you ever heard the story of the fox spirit’s gratitude? It’s where a scholar saves a fox spirit, and later the fox spirit transforms into a beauty to repay the scholar. You guys are just like the grateful fox spirits, hahaha, but fox spirits are beautiful. How come you both grew up and became uglier? Oh well, I said if you weren’t ugly, I’d accept your gratitude, even offer myself to you, which could be quite interesting."
Ye Lanfeng and Qian Ji stood firmly: "Senior Sister, wait, turn around."
Mu Hanyan turned around and looked at them quizzically.
"Then I’ll repay you; I have nothing to offer except to give myself to you. Please accept, Senior Sister." Ye Lanfeng ripped off the mask on his face, revealing a handsome face.
"Senior Sister, you said it yourself. If we’re not ugly, you’ll accept." Qian Ji also took off his mask, revealing an equally good-looking face not inferior to Ye Lanfeng’s.
Mu Hanyan was petrified, then turned woodenly and walked forward quickly: "I didn’t see anything. It’s an illusion, an illusion."
"Senior Sister, playing tricks like this is not becoming of a gentleman," Ye Lanfeng said anxiously, chasing after her to accuse her.
"I’m not a gentleman; I’m a woman." Mu Hanyan walked even faster.
"Senior Sister, you said it yourself. How can you go back on your word?" Qian Ji also pursued, complaining.
"Illusion, illusion, you didn’t hear anything earlier." Mu Hanyan broke into a trot this time. These two guys are really cunning, not only hiding their strength but also their appearance! So annoying, so annoying! But, these two really do look nice... Ah, shush! What am I thinking! Beauty misleads, beauty misleads!
When the three of them emerged from the bottom of the lake, Mu Hanyan saw the two had donned their original masks again, becoming ordinary-looking once more.
"Do you want to restore your appearance?" Mu Hanyan asked.
"No need. My beauty is for your eyes only." Ye Lanfeng shook his head.
"If others saw me and liked me, I’d find it bothersome." Qian Ji echoed the sentiment.
"Never mind, forget I asked." Mu Hanyan felt a bit weary, waved her hand, and headed toward the exit of the Secret Realm. After taking two steps, she stopped again, "It’s not good for you two to come out empty-handed. Go find something to show for yourselves. I’ll wait for you at the exit."
"Senior Sister, won’t you protect us as we go?" Ye Lanfeng asked expectantly.
"Senior Sister, didn’t you say we shouldn’t be too far from you?" Qian Ji asked pitifully as well.
Mu Hanyan’s mouth twitched, and she held back, then couldn’t resist finally scolding the two, "Get lost!"
The two immediately scampered away, as fast as they could.
Mu Hanyan’s voice also startled Chen Ziyu, who was waiting nearby all along.
Chen Ziyu naturally saw Mu Hanyan telling the two to get lost, and he felt a bit delighted in his heart. Had they finally angered Hanyan, prompting her to tell them to leave? Thus, Chen Ziyu felt both joy and resentment in his heart.
