Chapter 216- Cold Indifferent Loyal Dog VS. Playful Ghost King (11)
Actually, Yin Tianyi found it quite strange. After knowing that the Yin energy on the jade could help him restore his cultivation, this demon unexpectedly didn’t urgently ask him to help, but instead really took his time to adjust his own body.
These past few days, he deliberately didn’t help Mu Jin, actually wanting to test and see what the other party’s intentions were. After all, stories of demons deceiving people with sweet words were heard since childhood.
He wanted to see if Mu Jin was really just using him. At the same time, he also wanted to leave himself some time to secretly understand the current situation on the Yuan family’s side.
He had just arrived in this city and had no foundation for the time being. Although some impressions from his past life hadn’t faded, he still needed to reintegrate here and plan his life for this lifetime.
The debts had to be repaid sooner or later, and to defeat the An family, he needed more money. Only by standing in a certain position could he have a chance to compete with the other party’s business. Obviously, his actions now would be futile.
He hadn’t thought of letting Mu Jin handle the matter of dealing with the Yuan family for him. Although Mu Jin had mentioned before that he would fulfill any of his wishes, when it came to revenge, he felt it was better to handle it himself.
The matter of Mu Jin dealing with the Wang family caught him off guard. But he also felt Mu Jin’s actions were understandable. As for the Yuan family’s matter, he hoped Mu Jin wouldn’t get involved; he still wanted to deal with the instigator himself.
What he didn’t expect was that as soon as Mu Jin regained a bit of strength and could solidify his form, he took the initiative to go to the Yuan family, even wanting to follow Yuan Hongshen to seek revenge for himself.
Although the other party didn’t succeed in doing anything, Yin Tianyi couldn’t help but feel a warmth in his heart.
At this moment, Mu Jin didn’t know what his lover was thinking. Hearing Yin Tianyi say he wanted to take him to the ghost market, he was obviously very happy. Seeing Mu Jin happy made him feel a sense of relief and happiness. However, Mu Jin’s subsequent actions once again subverted his understanding of demons.
Because Mu Jin excitedly launched a fashion show that belonged solely to him, with Yin Tianyi being the only audience. Obviously, this demon in front of him was very excited to finally be able to go to the ghost market with him. He just didn’t expect that Mu Jin actually intended to appear in human form.
With a physical form that could be seen by people, Mu Jin naturally couldn’t continue wearing the very obvious ancient robes on his body. After all, this wasn’t some cosplay event; he couldn’t be too conspicuous.
But watching Mu Jin, who could effortlessly change his clothes with a wave of his hand, the man couldn’t help but twitch his mouth, feeling that this demon wasn’t just a foodie, but also a lover of beauty.
However, he also had to admit that whether it was a refined suit, tight leather clothing, or even a cheongsam dress, this fairy in front of him could handle them very well, absolutely deserving of the phrase “alluring and charming“. After spending a long time selecting clothes, Mu Jin finally turned to ask Yin Tianyi which set he was more satisfied with. Yin Tianyi considered that it was their first time going to the ghost market and suggested subtly to Mu Jin not to be too conspicuous, expressing this point to him.
Although the demon in front of him seemed somewhat dissatisfied upon hearing his words, thankfully he still listened to his advice and ultimately only wore a T-shirt and jeans. He looked like an innocent student party member.
However, that long hair, no matter what, he refused to shorten it, just casually tying it behind his head. From the back, he looked like a slender girl.
But even directly facing him, this person in front of him wouldn’t cause any discomfort. Although Mu Jin’s appearance was very delicate, and at times even showed astonishing charm, his facial features were clearly those of a boy, without any trace of femininity.
After finally deciding on the attire, Mu Jin obediently let Yin Tianyi rest on the bed. With a physical form, he could finally lie comfortably on the soft bed.
Mu Jin couldn’t help but roll around a bit before snuggling into the man’s embrace, accompanying his lover into the realm of dreams.
The next morning, before dawn, Mu Jin was already awakened by the man beside him, then followed him groggily to have breakfast together.
Although Mu Jin, who had changed clothes in an instant, didn’t feel tired due to lack of sleep, snuggling with his beloved was too comfortable to give up. To make it easier to go out, Yin Tianyi had previously bought a bicycle.
Instead of hiding, Mu Jin chose to sit behind the man on the bike seat, holding onto his waist and resting his face on the man’s back. After a period of nourishment, his lover’s body had obviously improved a lot, becoming more robust than when they first met.
Feeling the broad back of the man, Mu Jin smiled contentedly. He rubbed against Yin Tianyi’s back and then began to admire the scenery along the way.
Sitting on the back seat of his lover’s bicycle like this made Mu Jin feel very curious. It was as if he had returned to his student days, after all, he had experienced that kind of world before.
The images on the sides of the road quickly disappeared, the cool breeze brushing against his face. Mu Jin relied on his lover beside him, feeling infinitely relieved in his heart, with a hint of sweetness.
Although it was a long journey, it seemed like only a moment to Mu Jin. When they arrived at their destination, Mu Jin finally saw the legendary ghost market and found it very fascinating.
Although he knew the ghost market wouldn’t be in any prominent place, this location seemed a bit too remote. But considering that the city they were in wasn’t large to begin with, and the Yuan family didn’t originate from the capital, it made sense.
The Yuan family had some reputation in this small city, but nationally, it wasn’t significant until Yuan Cheng gradually expanded and made a name for himself.
In such a city, the options for the location of the ghost market were relatively limited. Thinking of this, Mu Jin suddenly didn’t hold too much hope for finding anything good here.
After putting sunglasses on Mu Jin, Yin Tianyi led him into the entrance of the ghost market. At this moment, the man was also wearing a mask, trying to keep a low profile, but this attire didn’t seem strange. Even though the day hadn’t fully dawned, there were countless people in this ghost market wearing sunglasses and covering their faces.
After all, in such a place, if they happened to find a treasure and it was discovered, revealing their true identity, the treasure would likely be lost. Who knows what kind of people are here, so it’s normal to conceal some things.
As the two walked around, they naturally knew that more than ninety percent of the things here were fake. But if they happened to find something good, then they’d be in luck.
Following Yin Tianyi’s footsteps, Mu Jin looked around for a while. Although some things here indeed had some Yin energy on them, it didn’t manifest as prosperously as the two jade pieces he absorbed yesterday. After browsing for a while without seeing anything valuable, Mu Jin suddenly felt disinterested.
Just as he felt bored, a man in a trench coat with dyed blonde hair and round sunglasses suddenly rushed over. The man seemed to be over forty years old, although small in stature, his movements were quite agile. His eyes lit up when he saw Yin Tianyi in front of him, and he directly bumped into the man.
Mu Jin didn’t react, although due to the sunglasses, he couldn’t see the man’s eyes. But obviously, the man’s movements were deliberate. So, was he trying to pull off a scam?
Mu Jin’s eyes flashed with interest, and Yin Tianyi, beside him, acted even faster, easily avoiding the collision. Instead of letting the blonde man bump into him, he dodged far away.
Obviously, the blonde man didn’t expect to miss Yin Tianyi. He paused for a moment and almost stumbled, his face showing a momentarily blank expression.
Mu Jin couldn’t help but chuckle at the sight. It was obvious that the collision was intentional. Presumably, the man hadn’t expected Yin Tianyi to dodge, so he was now dumbfounded.
However, after the blonde man stabilized himself, he didn’t care that he didn’t bump into Yin Tianyi. He stiffened for a moment and then deliberately stepped forward, causing a porcelain bowl to fall out of his trench coat. The bowl instantly shattered on the ground.
Seeing this, the blonde man quickly pointed at Yin Tianyi and angrily said, “You bumped into me! This was an antique bowl I just found, worth a whopping twenty thousand dollars. Tell me, how are you going to compensate!”
Mu Jin found the man’s bluffing quite amusing, but was this scammer being too deliberate? It lacked any skill, and wasn’t anyone around going to intervene?
So he turned his head to look around and saw many people looking at him and Yin Tianyi with a mocking gaze. Obviously, such incidents were not uncommon, and the man in front of them was likely a habitual offender.
It seemed they also knew he and Yin Tianyi were strangers, and wanted to see if this blonde man could extort some money from them. But would Mu Jin and Yin Tianyi, dressed so plainly, still be taken as suckers?
Mu Jin found it amusing, then saw the man beside him completely ignoring the blonde man’s words, expressionlessly turning to leave.
The blonde man, seeing the scornful looks around him, suddenly became agitated. He quickly shouted at Yin Tianyi, “No, you can’t leave. You have to compensate me!”
