The experiences from her past life always left Mu Hanyan harboring a grudge, and aside from a few close relatives, she could not fully open her heart to anyone or trust anyone completely. However, this time, Ye Yanran’s dedication to rescuing her deeply moved her.
Perhaps, besides one’s closest kin, there were indeed people in this world who could be fully trusted.
"Hey, don’t look at me like that, don’t think by playing the handsome guy you can get away with it. Whether we’re even this time or not, we still haven’t settled our previous scores," Ye Yanran didn’t know what Mu Hanyan was thinking, but feeling her gaze, her face reddened slightly as she hurriedly clarified their relationship.
"Pfft!" Mu Hanyan almost burst out laughing. What was this idiot thinking?
"You’re overthinking it." Mu Hanyan picked up the necklace and realized that the tiny pendant could only hold a drop of spring water, which was now used up. Updates are released by NoveI[F]ire.net
"What’s the spring water inside called?" Mu Hanyan, while handing back the necklace to Ye Yanran, asked curiously.
"I could tell you, but you wouldn’t know it anyway, so I’m too lazy to explain," Ye Yanran took back the necklace, capped it, and carefully hung it on her chest. It seemed that aside from the spring water, the necklace itself was extremely important to her.
Mu Hanyan smiled. Although Ye Yanran acted nonchalant, Mu Hanyan knew that there were secrets she didn’t want to share. It was no wonder; the spring water was too mysterious and too precious. If Mu Hanyan were in her position, she wouldn’t tell others easily either.
"It’s not that I want to hide it from you, I just can’t let you know. Otherwise, it might bring big trouble to you," seeing Mu Hanyan’s calm smile, Ye Yanran felt compelled to offer an explanation.
"Mhm, I understand." Mu Hanyan nodded. In truth, she also had secrets, even ones that her parents and brother couldn’t know. It wasn’t that she didn’t trust them, but rather to protect them. Thus, she could empathize with Ye Yanran’s sentiment.
"All right, I’m leaving. Remember, we haven’t settled our account, so don’t die too soon," Ye Yanran said.
"Don’t worry, I won’t die," Mu Hanyan replied with a smile.
"Right, although that spring water restored your vitality, you’ll have to find your own way to recover your Qi. There might be people looking to harm you soon, and I won’t be able to help you. You’ll need to figure out how to deal with it. Also, you better not drink the water they’ve boiled outside. I can’t be sure, but it’s better to be careful," Ye Yanran said vaguely as she reached the door.
After speaking, Ye Yanran performed a series of hand formations, her figure gradually becoming faint and indistinct, disappearing like a ghost.
Mu Hanyan opened her eyes to see the door curtain flutter momentarily before returning to its original position, indicating that Ye Yanran had already left.
This Ye Yanran, who exactly was she, with all her strangeness? Mu Hanyan shook her head, filled with questions. But no matter who she was, today she had done her utmost to save Mu Hanyan’s life. She would remember this kindness in her heart.
Turning around, Mu Hanyan’s gaze once again fell upon the Exotic Beast Egg.
The recent events had once again proven the extraordinariness of this Exotic Beast Egg. Of course, Mu Hanyan couldn’t just discard it like a hot potato, but she was also nervous and didn’t dare to touch it again.
"Don’t worry, it has now been revived, although it hasn’t completely regained its vitality, it’s no different from other Exotic Beast Eggs. As long as you don’t actively inject Qi into it again, there will be no danger," the weary voice of Star Illusion Qianji sounded.
