Never underestimate the speed of gossip, because it truly leaves you racing to catch up.
As Fu Yunhe and Nian Shutong had just been wandering around the East Continent for about an hour, Lin Mu’s ssage ca in.
Upon receiving the communication, Nian Shutong imdiately replied to Lin Mu, saying, "Didn’t see , and missing a bit?"
The ssage sent over, Lin Mu’s second ssage ca in.
"Nian Shutong, the gossip is that you’re with a man of celestial appearance. Hearing this description, I knew it must be Fu Yunhe. Just a heads-up."
Nian Shutong showed a slightly peculiar expression at Fu Yunhe, which he noticed imdiately.
"What’s up? Sothing to do with ?" Fu Yunhe didn’t even ask, just started deducing.
"It’s well-known that the Ghost Clan Leader is unattractive, but Madam is as beautiful as a flower. Now, you’re with a dashing man, so you’ve cheated."
"First of all, I’m not as beautiful as a flower. Please don’t complint like that. Ever since I watched that movie, the word ’flower’ has lost its aning for ."
Nian Shutong put away her Communication Stone, holding Fu Yunhe’s hand confidently, saying, "Beautiful, let’s make this gossip even bigger."
Fu Yunhe nodded in agreent, suddenly bending down to give Nian Shutong a quick kiss.
"How about that?"
"Not bad."
The two of them were in a playful mood, deliberately heading towards crowded places, refusing to go to less populated areas.
Publicly displaying affection, they strolled around the East Continent.
As they wandered, more and more news about the two spread outside, but the Ghost Clan remained calm, because they knew their Clan Leader’s appearance had been restored, thanks to Madam’s help.
However, this information was only known within the Ghost Clan; outsiders had no idea.
"Didn’t Fairy Yunling send you a ssage?"
"No idea."
"Take a look."
"Can’t see it."
Nian Shutong looked at Fu Yunhe, already guessing, "You deleted her."
"Yes, I sensed her imnse disrespect towards my wife. I’d given her a chance, and she didn’t take it."
"Hmm, you’ve handled it well. But I’m curious, what’s the entanglent between you two?"
Fu Yunhe didn’t hide anything, saying, "When I was first captured by the Demon Clan, she was there. She once gave a stead bun."
"That’s all?"
"That’s all."
Nian Shutong pondered, "I don’t think she’s just a kind-hearted person; she seems more like soone driven by profit. At the birthday banquet, I felt she imdiately spoke up after hearing about the Demon Clan Leader’s affairs."
"Yes, her ambition is not small."
Fu Yunhe hadn’t paid much attention to Fairy Yunling. Although there was a slight blood relation between them and though Fairy Yunling hadn’t done anything to hurt him, she thought she could control Fu Yunhe sohow.
"Alright, let’s not worry about her for now."
The two continued their outing, walking a long way, eventually entering Human territory.
"It’s so lively here; is there sothing going on?"
Nian Shutong and Fu Yunhe stood on the outskirts of a crowd, where a high platform stood in the center, with many people desperately crawling up to grab whatever was on top.
"Brother, what’s going on here?"
Fu Yunhe stopped soone to ask, but the person just stared at him dumbfounded, without speaking.
Nian Shutong, exasperated, pulled Fu Yunhe aside a few steps and asked soone else, finally finding out what was happening.
In the Human festival, people needed to grab the token of fortune, which was what was on top of the high platform.
"As part of the Human Clan, can I participate too?"
"Seems like it, but I’m out of luck."
Fu Yunhe looked a bit disappointed at Nian Shutong, but also slightly concerned, saying, "No Spiritual Power can be used. They have sothing on their wrists prohibiting the use of Spiritual Power to protect Divine Sense."
"I know, using sheer physical strength to climb."
Seeing Nian Shutong’s eager expression, Fu Yunhe knew she was tempted to try it.
"You’ll need to change your clothes."
The current dress Nian Shutong wore wasn’t convenient.
"You’re right."
Nian Shutong pulled Fu Yunhe to a secluded place, changed clothes, and took off her wig.
"Oh, it’s a bit prickly now."
Nian Shutong rubbed her head, her hair had grown to about a milliter.
"Now it can grow on its own, right?"
"Yes, but I’ll grow it after I grab that token. Having hair gets in the way."
In her most comfortable sportswear, Nian Shutong flexed her arms and legs, telling Fu Yunhe, "Wait for down there."
"Alright."
Nian Shutong charged into the crowd, joining the scramble. Fu Yunhe found a higher vantage point, spending quite so effort locating Nian Shutong in the sea of people, as there were indeed quite a few bald heads.
"Seems there are quite a few with the sa idea."
Using her superior physical ability and agility, Nian Shutong quickly reached the base of the platform.
The entire structure was built of a kind of black bamboo, looking very sturdy, as there were countless climbers.
It was like a sticky trap filled with ants, with hardly any gaps.
"Oh!"
Nian Shutong sidestepped to avoid soone falling from above, grasping a bar with one hand to propel herself upward.
Then it was all about quick reflexes—climb through gaps, avoid dangers, and fend off sneaky hands reaching from the sides.
All this couldn’t stop Nian Shutong. Starting from behind, her shadow moved swiftly; while others might fall and resu halfway up, she never fell once. Higher up, fewer people remained, and many saw Nian Shutong catching up from behind, even allied against her.
"You’ve made a grave mistake."
On top of the railing, Nian Shutong grabbed it with one hand, dodging a kick while inverted, and countered imdiately.
Surrounded by several people, Nian Shutong swiftly punched and kicked, reducing the surrounding challengers, soon reaching the top to grab the token.
A colorful fabric mouse.
She triumphantly lifted the little mouse, intending to shout sothing to Fu Yunhe in the distance, but at that mont, the fabric mouse ca to life.
