CHAPTER 903: PLAN TO COLLECT TREASURES

"Yunyun, do you want to go with them or stay here?" she asked. Among everyone present, only Xiao Yun remained unpredictable and unreadable to her. Most of the time, Xiao Yun would leave her to experience things independently; occasionally, he would guide her, but he generally preferred joining in the fun with others.

"Yunyun will stay with you, Master," Xiao Yun replied, snuggling into her arms.

"Boss Yun, are you sure you’re not coming?" Xiao Li winked playfully.

"Nope, I will guide the Master to find something. You all should behave, avoid provoking enemies unless necessary. And if you must beat or kill someone, ensure no one uncovers your identity. Be sure to collect as much as you can," Xiao Yun advised, his fox ears twitching. A pair of exquisite jade earrings adorned his ears, making him look both adorable and otherworldly.

"We got it, Big Brother Yun!" Everyone nodded respectfully, understanding the deeper meaning behind his warning.

Shenlian Yingyue tilted her head, observing their interaction without interference. She took out a bottle of spiritual berry juice, sipping it as she waited for everyone to finalize their plans.

Soon, everyone dispersed into their respective groups.

"You’re not thinking of sending us away too, are you, Yue’er?" Shenlian Yinzhu asked his sister after Xiao Li and the others had departed.

"Brother, do you feel like something is calling to you?" Shenlian Yingyue looked at him, her lips moist, red, and soft after drinking the spiritual juice.

Shenlian Yinzhu’s eyes darkened upon noticing her unintentional movement. Even without trying to seduce anyone, her every gesture made his heart race. He was taken aback by her question and nodded. How did Yue’er know?

"Then, Brother, you should go there," she said cheerfully.

"But," he approached, holding her hands anxiously. He didn’t want to leave her at all. What if he lost her again? What if she disappeared?

"This time, nothing will happen. Don’t forget, we made a soul contract with each other. No matter where I go, you can always sense me. Also, with Yunyun and the others here with me, I won’t get hurt." She felt bad seeing his panic and gently comforted him.

"Yue’er, if we all leave, who will protect you when you need help?" He frowned.

"Master, leave Brother Xue and Bu Si Shu here," Xiao Yun interjected when she was about to reply to her brother.

She was surprised but nodded.

Bing Xue looked at Xiao Yun gratefully. He now wanted to stay with her.

Xiao Yun nodded back at him.

"Why should I stay with her?" Bu Si Shu clicked his tongue in annoyance.

"If you don’t want to, you can leave. But if something happens to the Master, your life will be over too. So, you’re her bodyguard," Xiao Yun said, playing with the divine cherry in his paws.

Bu Si Shu’s face darkened, but Shenlian Yingyue pretended not to notice his scowl.

"Yue’er," Shenlian Yinzhu still wanted to stay with her. Even if he remained by her side, he believed his luck would still be present.

"Brother, if you don’t go, I won’t talk to you," she said sternly, pulling her hands away and feigning a sulk.

"Alright, whatever Yue’er says, Brother will always listen to you. I’ve already left all my treasures with you; they can save your life," Shenlian Yinzhu panicked, holding her tightly. His greatest fear was being ignored by his sister.

"How can you leave them all for me? Take them back; I have my own," Shenlian Yingyue said warmly, transferring all his treasures back to him. Her brother was always like this. She gently caressed his back. She knew he felt uneasy, and she felt guilty for forcing him, but she had to do this for his future.

If he traveled alone, his fortunes would soar. Staying with her would only dampen his luck, she could feel it.

"Alright, I’ll be going," Shenlian Yinzhu nodded helplessly, adjusting his mask and cloak before leaving.

Xiao Qiu fidgeted nervously, his anxiety palpable. When Jun Mu Yang shot him a warning look, he bit his lip, cheeks puffing in frustration. But Shenlian Yingyue’s next words made his face brighten with gratitude.

"As for you, A’Zhi and A’Yang, I know you both know where you should go," she said to Zhiyi and Jun Mu Yang meaningfully.

Both of them nodded helplessly.

Shenlian Yingyue noticed Xiao Qiu’s anxious expression. A knowing smile flashed in her eyes.

"Master, if anything happens, summon us immediately," Zhiyi said, kissing her forehead gently before planting a soft kiss on her lips. Then, he vanished.

"Don’t be naughty and get yourself hurt. Otherwise, when I return, I’ll make sure you can’t get out of bed for a month," Jun Mu Yang whispered in her ear, biting her neck and ear.

"What are you talking about?" Her cheeks turned slightly red. She dodged his bite but was soon pulled back into his embrace as he kissed her fiercely.

Before she could react, he left with Xiao Qiu, who was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. Xiao Qiu murmured before leaving, "Sigh, Master is too lovesick. If he delays any longer, all the treasures will be gone. Luckily, Xiao Yueyue is thoughtful enough to send him off."

Shenlian Yingyue, who heard his little complaint, paused.

Now, only Xiao Yun, Bing Xue, Xiong Zi Ying, Shenlian Sheshan, Bu Si Shu, and Wang Pei Zhi remained with her.

"Cough. Youngsters nowadays are very energetic and straightforward," Shenlian Sheshan remarked dryly.

"Uncle Shan, you’re talking as if you’re old," she chuckled.

"I am indeed old," Shenlian Sheshan reflected on his age. Compared to them, he was their elder.

"Uncle Shan, you talk as if you’re ancient," she teased.

"I am old compared to you." He sighed, stroking his chin.

"Who says you’re old? You’re still handsome and formidable. No woman could resist you. I’ll even help you find a worthy wife someday." She eyed him appraisingly. Her uncle had a noble demeanor, impeccable looks, immense strength, and, judging by how he always placated her with rare treasures whenever she was upset, boundless wealth.
