"Master, the lady mustn’t stay by that man’s side. If it weren’t for him, you wouldn’t have become what you are now, and you and the lady wouldn’t have been separated for so long," Ye Yin spoke up again.
She was filled with hostility towards Jun Moyan.
The man watched the two of them leaving, remaining silent for a long time.
After a while, once they were a good distance away, the man finally spoke, his voice full of helplessness and heartache, "I don’t have a place to keep her right now. Moreover, she doesn’t remember me, I mustn’t frighten her."
Thousands of years had passed, but upon seeing her again, he could only watch her from afar, walking together with that man, even treating him as an enemy.
"I went to the Netherworld to check. The Soul Fragment inside the Cat Demon is indeed the lady’s. It’s just that the Soul Fragment isn’t complete, that’s why she has forgotten about you, Master. With the deep affection between the lady and you, Ye Yin believes that one day she will indeed remember you," ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ n0velfire.net
"And I believe that the reason why the lady’s Soul Fragment has reincarnated in the body of that Cat Demon must also be in order to find you."
"Yingying..." the man muttered softly under his breath, just as he had tenderly called her years ago.
Thousands of years had passed, everything had changed, but his feelings for her had never wavered.
Even the things he was doing now were all to be able to find her.
However, fate played cruel tricks, and he had personally sent Yingying into that man’s arms.
The irony was utterly ridiculous.
He suddenly felt very afraid, afraid that Yingying would fall in love with that man, afraid that Yingying would never remember him.
Then what was the point of everything he was doing.
He composed himself and said to Ye Yin, "You take the Soul Gathering Umbrella and make another trip to the Netherworld for me, see if Yingying’s remaining Soul Fragments can be gathered. I will cast a spell to mask the aura of the Soul Gathering Umbrella. Be very careful, and let no one know of this."
He couldn’t bear to see her with someone else; it would drive him insane.
"The matters here mustn’t be known to anyone, especially about Yingying. You must guard against Zuo Yan."
"This subordinate understands. I will find the last person as soon as possible so that you, Master, can return to the Demon Realm sooner and reunite with the madam."
"Mm, summon Mu Han to see me after you’re back."
Wen Xiao’ai laid on Jun Moyan’s back, smelling the familiar and good scent coming off him; her slightly pale face was full of smiles.
When they got to the car, Jun Moyan was about to open the door, but Wen Xiao’ai hastily said, "Jun Moyan, how long will it take to walk home from here?"
"About fifty minutes or so. Why, don’t you want to take the car?" Jun Moyan asked.
"Mhm, can you just carry me back ? It seems like we’ve never spent time alone together outside."
Without saying anything further, Jun Moyan carried Wen Xiao’ai on his back and started walking towards Wu Garden.
Wen Xiao’ai happily wrapped her arms around his neck and meowed in his ear twice.
"By the way, Jun Moyan, how did you find me?"
"The chain on your hand has a tracker."
"A tracker?" Wen Xiao’ai lifted her own hand and looked at the little bell on her wrist.
"Something to prevent you from getting lost."
"Is it that powerful? Does that mean you’ll be able to find me no matter where I go?"
After a two-second silence, Jun Moyan replied, "Perhaps."
"Why is it ’perhaps’ and not ’definitely’?"
"If you go too far, so far that the device can’t track you, I won’t be able to find you."
"That won’t happen; I won’t go that far. I won’t let you be unable to find me."
"That’s good." Jun Moyan’s mood, which had been gloomy all evening, improved quite a bit.
