*Achoo!*

Walking on the bustling main road of Wuji Sect, Yino suddenly shivered.

"Yunjin, I suddenly have a bad feeling..."

He spoke cautiously to the ahoge girl who was walking in front of him.

Yunjin turned around, tilting her head in confusion: "What's wrong?"

"Speaking of which, isn't Snow Village in the north? Did we take the wrong path?"

Yino looked at the main hall in the distance and spoke earnestly.

But Yunjin sighed helplessly:

"We are indeed going to Snow Village, but before that, you also needs to go to the Immortal Alliance branch in the main hall to register! Otherwise, even if we discover a huge clue in Snow Village, we won't be able to get merit points!"

"Uh, I don't think I'm short on those few points..."

As Yino peered around the big hall, he became more uneasy.

Yunjin sighed, also a bit helpless as she held onto him:

"Oh, I know Young Master is noble and looks down on these small rewards from the Immortal Alliance... but the Alliance's points are related to future employment evaluations in various factions of the cultivation world! Besides, we're already here, aren't we?"

"I... I suppose you're right..."

Yino looked troubled, but out of courtesy, he indeed couldn't find a good reason to refuse.

Yunjin took his hand and led him to the main hall, where they joined the crowd.

Today was the day the Immortal Alliance released major tasks, and the entire main hall was almost filled with young disciples.

Some came to queue up for registration, while others who had finished registering were looking for teammates in the hall...

Yino and Yunjin waited at the end of the queue.

Yunjin, after all, was a novice guide and had good relationships with young disciples. Just a moment of queuing, and several groups of disciples came to ask Yunjin to team up, but they were all politely refused by Yunjin using Yino beside her as an excuse.

Suddenly, countless curious and envious gazes focused on Yino, making this cannon fodder villain who was used to hiding his identity feel socially anxious.

-My head hurts... is it because I just held hands with Yunjin? Why is my heart beating so fast now, and my eyelids are twitching...-

Yino frowned, feeling uneasy.

But just as he lowered his gaze for a moment, Yino's peripheral vision suddenly noticed a certain cherry-red enchanting figure in the corner of the main hall—

-Holy crap!-

-I found the reason why my heart is pounding!-

Just like that night in the bamboo forest, encountering her again after many days, Yino instinctively couldn't help but curse in surprise.

He hurriedly averted his gaze, but fate is such a thing that truly seems to have a tacit understanding in the unseen.

Just a moment of thought, and that cherry-red ponytailed girl who was originally laughing and talking with several young disciples suddenly seemed to sense something, abruptly turning her head and meeting Yino's sidelong glance.

Yino put his hands in his pockets and turned his head, pretending nothing had happened.

Instantly, Jinyue's lips curled up revealing her little foxy fangs. She didn't even care about Chen Jianxin beside her who was still laughing and saying something boring, she stood up and walked towards Yino's direction.

"Oy~ Yino! finally found you!"

Jinyue snorted coldly, lightly biting her teeth, her cute face also showing a mischievous smile at this moment.

She even directly ran towards Yino's direction!

-What is this, some kind of divine enemy-seeking ability?-

Yino felt the chill approaching and couldn't help but carefully turn his head to take a peek.

But this one glance was like a thousand years, only to see that the alluring foxgirl who was just in the corner a moment ago, now had her eyes shining, rushing towards him like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey.

"Um, Miss Yunjin, you keep queuing, I suddenly need to use the bathroom..."

Yino looked troubled, trying to run away with any excuse.

But at this moment, Yunjin beside him also grabbed his arm, coaxing gently:

"Oh come on~ Young Master, just hold it for a bit~ It's almost our turn!"

"No, I really need to pee..."

"Huh? Brother Yino, there seems to be a pretty girl in a red dress calling your name over there!"

"I think... she must have mistaken me for someone else..."

"Brother Yino, why are you sweating? If you really can't hold it, you should go to the bathroom first!"

Yunjin became aware that something was amiss with Yino at some point, her eyes wide with anxiety and her innocent plump face confused.

Yino had a constipated look on his face, holding his forehead and sighing: "Forget it, it's too late now..."

"Eh? Wait... what's too late?"

Yunjin widened her eyes, looking down at Yino's crotch, blushing a bit incredulously.

She was still standing there not knowing what to do, but at this moment, a girl in a red dress suddenly rushed out from the crowd, and then pounced on Yino!

"Junior Brother Yino! Good moning~!"

The girl's smile was full of energy as she suddenly patted Yino's shoulder.

"Really, why didn't you say earlier that you were coming!"

"Don't queue up here anymore, I came early in the morning to register for you!"

Jinyue's peach blossom eyes had already turned into crescent moons from sweetness, raising her face quite proudly, as if she had done a great deed waiting for Yino's praise.

If she were in her fox form now, she would probably be wagging her tail happily.

However, Yino couldn't be happy at all right now.

He looked Jinyue up and down suspiciously, but as he looked, Yino's gaze was still captivated by those beautiful legs squeezed by white over-knee stockings.

This familiar plot and leg-watching gave Yino a sense of déjà vu, as if fate had been arranged long ago.

"Oh… Jinyue, thank you very much."

Yino said through gritted teeth, enunciating each word.

"No need to thank me! We're life and death partners, the world's best friends!"

Jinyue blinked as her lovely eyes sparkled.

Compared to her previous mischievous smirk, her face now showed more pure excitement and anticipation for unknown adventures.

As she smiled, she met Yino's gaze and deliberately raised her white-stockinged leg with the absolute territory squeezed out by the over-knee socks under her skirt.

Jinyue chuckled gleefully, reaching forward and touching Yino's chin, who was entranced. Her peach flower eyes also exhibited the appeal of blood-colored patterns at this moment.

"I didn't expect that not only does my benefactor like black ones, white ones can also whet your appetite~"

...

...

...

"Tsk, how ridiculous"

"This stupid fox, is she casting a charm on Yino, or is she under his charm? Why does she seem so infatuated every time she sees him?"

At the railing on the second floor of the main hall, the white-haired girl frowned in confusion, her expression showing both disdain and helplessness.

Ever since the organization sent Jinyue from the Western Region to Wuji Sect, it wasn't the first time Yanran had cooperated with Jinyue on missions.

However... In the past, Jinyue had always been highly efficient in her work, her illusions hitting the mark, her actions clean and decisive. She only had mockery and ridicule for men and women, young and old alike, never bothering to waste words.

But this time, the usually devilish foxgirl was particularly attentive to a small fry with a cannon fodder destiny in the prophecy.

-He just happened to escape a destined death once, didn't he?-

-If the prophecy says he will die, it's just a matter of a few more days. Who knows what Jinyue sees in him?-

-She chatted him up during the sect entry test...-

-She pulled him along when searching for the Mountain Temple...-

-Now, even at such a crucial point as the Snow Village Mission, Jinyue once again forgot her task, all her attention drawn to Yino the moment he appeared!-

"Is she a puppy or something, running to wag her tail at the scent of her master from afar?"

"How did such a stupid fox become the confidant of Lord Tiansi?"

"Does she even know who the real chosen one is in this prophecy?"

The white-haired girl felt increasingly headache-inducing as she thought about it. She sighed silently, feeling her hair turning whiter day by day from worry, though it was already quite white to begin with.

"Forget it, I've already contacted the people from Full Moon Sect anyway, I never counted on her in the first place."

Thinking of this, a sharp glint flashed in her cold eyes. She no longer bothered with the love-struck stupid fox and left the main hall alone, heading straight towards Snow Village—

"Mo Yuyan?"

"Yes, Senior Sister Yanran."

Mu Yanran paused at the door, meeting the gaze of the ink-robed immortal woman approaching from the opposite side.

"In all these years, apart from tasks for Master and the sect, it's rare to see the ever-homebody Junior Sister Yuyan willingly go out on her own..."

The white-robed girl smiled with raised eyebrows. Though her words were teasing, her eyes showed more gentleness and care for this introverted sister.

Yuyan's cold face remained calm as she slightly lowered her gaze:

"Actually, I want to go see Snow Village this time..."

As she spoke, she looked back at the main hall, searching for a certain young man's figure, but happened to see a certain surnamed He young master touching a girl's white-stockinged thighs.

Instantly, Yuyan was at a loss for words, the smile on her face also becoming a bit stiff.

"Snow Village?"

"Why would Junior Sister have the interest to go to such a desolate place?"

Yanran was still questioning in confusion.

But at some point, Yuyan's face had already turned dark, her cold expression showing annoyance as she slightly puffed her cheeks: "Don't mention it, just thinking about that little pervert that Master told me to take as a disciple…!"

"Little... little pervert?"
