Red String Ties Jade Beauty, White Snake Curls Around Waist

That familiar figure.

That pleasant voice.

Those short, powerful, yet incredibly cool lines.

Guinaifen leaped up from her chair.

"My hearing's not great, could someone who just said Mu Yang was broke please repeat what he said?"

"Did he just say he's going to pay three million Mora?"

[What the actual heck?!]

[How much?!]

[That's three million Mora! Not three hundred, and he's saying it so casually?]

[The most touching love confession I've ever heard is this from Brother Mu Yang: Let me pay.]

[Haters, speak up!]

[I said it, whoever has money, I'm their dog. It doesn't matter who the rich guy is.]

[I wish someone would say that to me in my life too.]

Mu Yang's sudden appearance did cause Zhongli a moment of confusion.

"Hm?"

He hadn't sensed anyone approaching.

Let alone an old acquaintance like Mu Yang.

Could he have been careless?

Ying seemed to have noticed something was amiss.

She quickly interjected, pretending to be surprised as she greeted him.

"Huh? Mu Yang?! What are you doing here?"

"I saw a familiar back just now, so I followed to say hello, and happened to overhear your conversation."

Mu Yang then turned to Zhongli and nodded at him.

"I didn't expect Mr. Zhongli to be here too."

Zhongli returned the gesture slightly. "Brother Mu, it's been a while."

Paimon: "Huh, Mu Yang actually remembers Zhongli?"

"I do. The Wangsheng Funeral Parlor consultant who likes to buy many kinds of sesame oil."

[Damn, what kind of impression is that]

[LOL]

[So funny]

Paimon: "No, no, shouldn't the focus now be on paying for the Eternal Offering!"

Zhongli stroked his chin.

"Hmm... three million... it doesn't sound like much at first, but with common sense, it's indeed a bit difficult. Brother Mu, you mean..."

Not just Zhongli.

Mu Yang felt Ying's gaze on him was also filled with worry.

She was about to step in to stop Mu Yang.

What do you mean?

You don't think I'm joking, do you?

A mere three million Mora, do I even care about that?

Mu Yang turned directly towards Baizhu, trying his best not to look at Changheng's eyes.

He was afraid some memory might surface and affect his acting.

He took out a receipt and handed it to Baizhu.

This had been prepared long ago.

"Three million Mora, Northland Bank receipt."

Before Baizhu could take the receipt.

Changheng around his neck made the first move.

She directly leaped onto the hands Mu Yang had extended, coiling around them.

This scene completely terrified everyone present.

Even Mu Yang, who had been mentally prepared.

She was still startled by his sudden action, almost breaking character.

From Baizhu's expression, it was clear he was also a bit surprised.

Paimon had the biggest reaction, "Huh?! The snake, the snake moved!"

Changheng didn't care about any of that.

She slithered along Mu Yang's arm.

All the way to his waist.

"Mu Yang, why does your scent feel so familiar? Have we met before?"

Hearing this, Mu Yang felt as if his heart had been struck by a thousand-pound hammer.

Pain.

In the livestream room, Guinaifen was the first to react.

When Mu Yang appeared, she first addressed the haters in the comments.

Then she suddenly remembered something important.

She quickly opened HoYoLAB.

"Oh no, this splash screen ad, hurry, hurry! I can't even wait three seconds!"

[What is Xiao Guizi doing?]

[Is the streamer having an episode, lol]

[What is the streamer talking about, can't wait three seconds?]

Guinaifen opened the official character art of Mu Yang.

She held it up to the camera.

"Everyone, I was wondering why the name Changheng sounded so familiar."

"Isn't this the 'person' who gave Mu Yang a review?"

"Even though what they said was censored by miHoYo."

[Whoa, I remember now too!]

[Who would have thought it was a snake]

[The streamer is so observant, I almost forgot]

[Could it be that these two know each other?]

[Look, look, Changheng is wrapping around Mu Yang]

Guinaifen watched this scene.

Goosebumps rose all over her body.

"I feel a little scared."

[I want to wrap around Mu Yang's little arm like that too]

[I'll wrap around his waist then]

[Then I'll wrap around...]

[You kid aren't afraid of getting banned, are you]

[Changheng is speaking, what does she mean? She doesn't seem to remember Mu Yang]

[Mu Yang's movements seem frozen, did he remember something?]

[I have a bad feeling about this]

"Stop talking, I have a bad feeling too."

Hearing Changheng's words.

Mu Yang's heart skipped a beat.

This familiar voice, this familiar scent.

Yet now she didn't recognize him.

Despite the sadness, the act had to continue.

"I don't remember."

[MiHoYo: Hahaha, here's some chicken soup for the soul! Why aren't you eating it?]

[How can we eat this when it's all angst?]

[MiHoYo is a repeat offender]

[This is definitely a foreshadowing!]

Mu Yang remembered.

But those were memories from a thousand years ago, not from recent years.

They hadn't been in contact in recent years.

Wait a little longer; now is not the time for them to recognize each other.

Let the players' discussions ferment first.

Wait a little longer, Medicine Master...

"You can't remember clearly?"

This was not the answer Changheng wanted to hear.

The young man before her felt too familiar.

But she had lost most of her strength now.

She could only recall waking up in the deep mountains.

She had signed a Contract with an apothecary, barely clinging to her last breath.

This Contract was her only lifeline.

If it were broken, she would die.

So, if she could recall some things or people from the past.

Perhaps there would be another solution.

Changheng noticed the Jade Pendant on Mu Yang's waist.

She used her tail to move the Cryo Vision hanging there aside.

Because of the Vision's presence, it had almost masked the Jade Pendant's power.

To be precise, it wasn't the Jade Pendant itself.

It was the power of the Red String tied to the Jade Pendant.

Nothing could be more familiar than this; this power belonged to her.

She shot up from his waist with lightning speed.

She immediately coiled around Mu Yang's neck.

"Kid, this Red String is my power manifested. Tell me the truth!"

Ying saw Mu Yang's predicament.

She quickly came over to pull Changheng away.

She thought Changheng was actually trying to strangle Mu Yang.

"Calm down first."

Ying turned to look at Baizhu, "Baizhu, you should try to persuade her too."

Under Baizhu's persuasion, Changheng finally left Mu Yang.

She returned to him.

Ying checked Mu Yang's neck, "Are you okay?"

Mu Yang shook his head, indicating he was fine.

Changheng wasn't actually trying to break his neck.

Paimon stomped her foot in the air, "You... no, why are you like this, snake!"

Baizhu stepped forward to smooth things over, "My apologies, everyone. Changheng has lost her memories from before."

"So, seeing Mr. Mu Yang, who she suspects is an old acquaintance, she couldn't help but get a little excited. Please don't mind."

He glanced at the Jade Pendant and Red String on Mu Yang's waist, "And what about Mr. Mu Yang's situation?"

"I'll explain."

Ying stepped forward and explained Mu Yang's current condition to Baizhu and Changheng.
