Walking along the canal, one could see the petals of fallen flowers dancing in the air. The long corridor was connected to an octagonal pavilion. Zhai Yue, who was nowhere to be seen just a moment ago, was now lying casually on the pavilion.

Eh, the white hair that she saw yesterday had turned into a head full of black hair today. The white mantle was dancing in the wind. Was he really a human being with such a genteel disposition?

The light and shadow shone on his feet. The shadow was so clear. Other than those in the human realm, there was no one in the Five Realms. Was he really human?

But if he was human, how could this head full of black hair appear? If he was human, how would he know that she was half-human and half-demon? Even she was not his match?

“What are you looking at, little thing?”

Wen Jiu’s thoughts were interrupted by his voice. When his eyes met hers, she actually moved away in a sorry state. That pair of eyes that were like a deep pool was actually so cold, deep, and bottomless. He was clearly smiling, but there was no warmth at all. This smile actually made Wen Jiu’s heart ache for a short while. Why was this?

“Don’t smile.”

She still said these two words. Zhai Yue had truly confirmed her meaning this time. The gaze that looked at her was filled with scrutiny. She was the first person who could see through his heart.

“This Snow Bear fur coat is beautiful, but this isn’t deep winter. There’s no need for it to be so heavy. Don’t you know how to transform? Change to another one.”

Wen Jiu took a look at the clothes she transformed. This was the Snow Bear fur coat she had heard of when she was young. She only remembered that this thing was extremely precious, a rare treasure in the world, so when she transformed into it… She transformed this Snow Bear fur coat.

The sun rose from the east, and this place was indeed not as cold as the outside. He only wore a thin thin shirt, but compared to him, it was indeed a little cumbersome.

But what would it look like? The same as him?

She spun around on the spot. Sure enough, the white fur coat retreated. A miniature version of the same clothes was worn on her body. Her hair was still gray, and coupled with the white shirt, it made her look even more aloof and proud, but it also made her look even more aloof and lonely.

He did not know why, but he felt that it was an eyesore. He was even a little displeased. Although he was still smiling, the words came out directly:

“Change again, yellow.”

Yellow? This color wasn’t bad either. Wen Jiu, who still had the temperament of a child, was happy to play this game. She circled around again. Her clothes were still the same clothes, but the color had already changed to yellow.

She looked a lot more delicate, but Zhai Yue was still not satisfied.

“Black.”

Another circle. No, change again.

“Green.”

…

“Red.”

This had already changed all the colors that could be known. By the time it changed to red, Wen Jiu had already lost the joy from earlier. The temperament of a child was not strong enough.

Moreover, she did not like this red color. Red represented this flame, and represented the suffering of the intense fire that she had experienced before.

Frowning, she stood unhappily on the spot. She thought that she still felt that white was good-looking. White was like him, with an elegant fairy-like appearance. This was a very good match.

“No wonder I felt that something was wrong. So it’s this hair. Do you like my full head of black hair? If you like it, then you can create it yourself. Only humans have pure black hair. Do you want to be a human? If you want to be a human, then you can create black hair.”

Be a human?

Wen Jiu looked at Zhai Yue’s full head of black hair. She didn’t know why, but her intuition told her that he seemed to be lying to her. Because yesterday, he had a full head of white hair, but no one thought that he was a monster.

There was a hint of hesitation in her small eyes, but also a hint of confusion. There was also a hint of bafflement. She didn’t know how to change. She only had time to learn how to change her clothes.

“You don’t know how?”

Her tsundere small eyes stared at Zhai Yue, and she turned around with a huff. She really had the temperament of a child. She was angry just because she wanted to be.

Thinking about it, he felt that it should be so. She was thrown into the Ten Thousand Bone Cave at the age of eight. How could she learn anything from that ten-thousand-year-old antique?

There were still ten years of torture left. How could she have the energy to learn? He did not expect that he would really find a disciple for himself and also find trouble.

With a tap of his finger, Wen Jiu did not even have time to react when she saw that the gray hair on her shoulders had turned into black hair. This long-lost look made her feel a little happy, but she deliberately suppressed this joy. She could not… She could not let him see her joy.

Zhai Yue saw her little actions clearly, but he did not make a sound of ridicule. Instead, he floated down from the roof and slowly walked to her side.

Her red clothes were like fire, and her black hair entwined. The blend of red and black really suited her.

In this peach blossom forest, even the petals were dancing around her. She was afraid that she would not dare to compete with such a gorgeous person. The loneliness she felt just now was finally somewhat suppressed by this color.

“Fan Xing, so beautiful!”

There was no girl who did not love beauty. Even if she had already forgotten what beauty was, when she heard these words, her face still showed a touch of pure red.

Dong… Dong…

The sound of a bell came from afar. Wen Jiu frowned slightly. How could there be a bell sound?

“Let’s go, there’s a guest. This Imperial Preceptor is not so easy to be.”

Yes, she had almost forgotten that he was the Imperial Preceptor…

Behind the peach blossom forest was a palace. Wen Jiu curiously looked around until she entered the hall. Only then did she shift her gaze to another thing that made her even more curious.

To be more precise, it was a person. It was a child. He called Zhai Yue ‘Your Excellency’.

This was nothing. The key was that there was a tail behind the child. Yes, it was a white furry tail, like a fox’s tail. It was big and fluffy.

Was this a demon?

How could there be a demon here?

Who was Zhai Yue? Was he also a demon?

Zhai Yue glanced at the curious little thing and knew that she could definitely see through the illusion. This eternal demon core was indeed extraordinary. The illusion that he personally laid down could see through the number of people in the world!

“That’s a black fox, a black fox demon!”

Zhai Yue deliberately emphasized the word ‘demon’. Wen Jiu did not respond, but only looked at the little boy with even more burning eyes.

The little boy was stared at until his scalp went numb. He did not dare to raise his head to look at this ‘Young Miss’ who had been brought back by the venerable one. She was the venerable one’s disciple, so they did not dare to cross the boundary.

“The envoy of the state of Wei has arrived…”

A long voice rang out, pulling Wen Jiu’s line of sight back. A man in a forged robe and a feathered crown walked over from the main door. He saw Zhai Yue and was unusually respectful, so he immediately bent down and prostrated himself.

“Imperial Preceptor.”

“No need for formalities. Minister Wei has come in person. Is it because of the incident with the Qilin Star a month ago?”

Minister Wei was stunned. It was indeed the Imperial Preceptor. Such a divine plan.

Minister Wei did not get up and continued prostrating on the ground. However, his voice was even more humble as he said to Zhai Yue,”Imperial Preceptor once said: the Qilin Star, in troubled times, the Three Kingdoms will fight. His Majesty asked the Imperial Preceptor if Great Wei would also fight.”

Zhai Yue was still as casual as before, but this time, the smile on his face seemed to be even more demonic than before. He could only say, “Yes.”

When the man who was prostrating on the ground heard this, he was overjoyed. He kowtowed a few times, and immediately after, he had the generous gifts presented outside the hall. There were countless pieces of jewelry and jades.

Zhai Yue did not even glance at them. He said to Wei Xiang, “Go quickly, seize the day and the night.”

Wen Jiu listened from beginning to end and did not interrupt him. The long-lost upbringing was still in her mind, but she began to recall yesterday’s words, “The Three Kingdoms’ turmoil.”

This seemed to be his intention to sow discord. For some reason, she felt that his handiwork in the Three Kingdoms’ turmoil was so clear and tangible.
