His Mischievous Time-Traveler: How To Capture A Celebrity Husband? Chapter 72: To find happiness in this lifetime
Wu Yixing changes his clothes to simple ones. He hasn't seen Yoori since morning. She has already moved to the furthest courtyard from his place. He has expected her to take one far from his place, but taking one that is nearly an hour walk away is too much. He wonders if she has forgotten about the antidote. He can give the antidote vial to the servant to take it to her. He will lose an excuse to see her then.
He wonders what she is doing. How did she spend her day? Did she eat? Is she happy after moving away?
He shouldn't have given her the freedom to choose a courtyard by herself.
He seems to have forgotten the reason why he acted distant to Yoori last night. After a long day at court, he only wants to see her for now.
He is about to leave when a servant cos and informs him that there is soone to visit his wife. He frowns deeply. It's already dark. Who dares to visit his wife at night? It should be only him visiting her at nights.
"It's a boy around 15. His na is Mo Wei."
He is surprised to hear that. The girl is already here without Li Jun. How did she escape the Li house? Li Jun won't let her leave alone. That man is a bit strange when it cos to his witch. Wu Qiuyue will give him hell if Li Jun falls for the witch.
"Bring him in."
After a few minutes, Kyuri cos into the sitting room. She takes a seat in front of him without a word. Wu Yixing notices that she has a dismal air around her.
"Xiao Wei, is sothing wrong?" He asks her with a kind voice. "Did Li Jun treat you badly?"
He's sure that his friend won't do anything crazy, but there is always a possibility that things won't go as he expects them to.
"I know that you know." Kyuri doesn't look at him. Her eyes are fixed on her fingers tapping the floor.
"What do I know?" Wu Yixing smiles, feigning ignorance.
"We are females." She glares at him. "You and Li Jun knew from the mont you t us. You wouldn't be a fool to marry a man. You are too clever for that, Wu Yixing."
He chuckles light. "Your 'brother' hasn't noticed that yet. Why didn't you tell her?"
"I am giving you an opportunity." She lets out a tired sigh. She's exhausted emotionally.
"Opportunity for what?" Wu Yixing is puzzled by her words. What kind of opportunity does she an?
Kyuri's voice is cold and eerie. "To find happiness in this lifeti."
He rubs his forehead. Is the witch making a prophecy? She made a similar prophecy about Li Jun once. "Mo Wei, I don't understand. Can you tell clearly?"
"I have said enough. I have no intention of making a ss with ti again." She runs her fingers through her hair. She looks like an otherworldly creature born out of the night. "Take to her. I have sothing important to tell her."

Before he can take a step inside, he sees Bai Lan running out of the courtyard with a fearful face. She is sweating heavily. He dark eyes narrow down at her as an uneasy feeling seizes his heart. "What's wrong?"
"I am sorry, Master, she asked to get dinner for her." Bai Lan is trembling with fear under his gaze. "After I ca back, I couldn't find her anywhere. I was coming to inform you about her disappearance."
She wouldn't disappear on him again, would she? If she disappears this ti, how long will she take to reappear in his life again?
No, she's cursed. She can't leave him. He needs to find her before she escapes.

Kwon Yoori has had a good day after a long ti. She moved to the 'furthest' courtyard. She's sure that she won't be crossing path with the prince randomly again. She slept for half a day. Then, she took a walk through the garden. She was worried sick about Kyuri. She contemplated visiting the Li house a lot of tis, but she wasn't allowed to leave the vicinity.
Not being able to do much, she practiced martial arts in her free ti. She should be in her top-notch form. Who knows when she has to use it on the fifth prince?
"My lady, the prince is here with soone to see you," Xiao Luo tells her with a neutral face. It's quite late. It's strange that the prince will bring another boy at this ti.
"Huh?" Kwon Yoori wonders who could co with the prince at this ti. Is it Li Jun or Kyuri?
She cos out of the inner chamber. She exclaims in happiness when she sees her niece. "You are here."
"Brother." Kyuri gives her a hug. "I missed you."
"I missed you too." Yoori hugs her niece back cheerfully. In a stranger era and a foreign country, her niece is her only comrade and her family.
Wu Yixing watches the girls with a grudge in his heart. He wants a hug too. Why can't he also scream 'brother' and hug his wife?
Yoori notices the poison lover bug in the room. She drags Kyuri inside her inner chamber and slams the door. After so ti, Xiao Luo cos with the tea and finds the prince sitting alone. He is looking at the bedroom door with big sad watery eyes.
It's like a puppy has been abandoned by his master.
She doesn't know what to make of this situation. She pours down the tea for the prince and offers it to the prince quietly.
The prince wipes his nonexistent tears and takes the tea. He complains to her, "Your mada is the type of woman who wouldn't miss even if I don't show my face for days."
"..."

"You did what?" Furious, My aunt yells at . "Why would you make such a deal for ?"
"It's not a bad deal." I don't know why she is angry. "Aunt, I am freaking immortal until I reach my ti. Until then, I can't die or grow up. You can live a normal life. If you don't ss up with ti again, you won't be hunted by the tikeepers."
"But, it's not fair." The corner of her lips curls down. She holds her head as if she's getting a headache. "Everything is going wrong."
My situation won't change for a while. She has a chance to live a normal life. "Aunt, don't ss up with ti again. I am quite satisfied with how things have turned out. If you do sothing again, both of us will be caught and put into a ti prison. If one of us can live a normal life, it's not bad. Besides, I can't stay here forever. You still have six years until your powers co back. Wu Yixing will protect you and give you a good life until then."
I don't know what kind of decision she will make when her powers return. Will she go back to her ti or stay here? It's up to Wu Yixing.
"I didn't appear before you left your ti." She looks up at with deep struggles in her eyes. "If I go back ho and live there, I will ss up the tiline again. It might affect your existence."
That's true. The tikeeper probably knew it too.
Aunt Yoori disappeared before I was born. In the original tiline, she went back to her correct ti to give the purple notebook to grandmother. My grandmother gave that notebook to my father to pass it to . When I ca back to the past for the first ti, I gave it to my aunt.
It was a trap set by the tikeepers to force her to go to her correct tiline and capture her.
This ti, the tikeepers might not capture her. But, there is no telling how her presence would affect my existence.
I was born to correct her mistakes.
Still, there's a chance that she might find happiness with Wu Yixing.
"Aunt Yoori, this era isn't bad." I pat her head to calm her down. "But, if you want to go back, don't think about . Maybe, things will turn out good."
"Kyuri, I want to leave this place and co with you." She hunches down her shoulders. She knows that she can't leave with without the antidote.
"I will keep an eye on things here," I tell her to soothe her worried heart. "When you get the antidote, I will co to get you."
