The thought that flashed through her mind startled Yun Yun.
How could I have such a thought...
Husband and wife... those words were far too lethal to her.
She had never imagined there would come a day like this.
"Yun'er, what are you thinking about?" Xu Qi called softly, his form of address becoming much more intimate.
"Nothing... Just don't turn my hair into a bird's nest, or I'll hit you." She hurriedly changed the subject.
Xu Qi said, "...I'll do my best. Turning it into a bird's nest would be quite a challenge for me too."
Though he had been the one to offer to comb Yun Yun's hair, it was also his first time. His skill at arranging hair was truly limited.
In the end, he only barely managed to comb Yun Yun's beautiful hair into shape. As for whether it looked good... well, it definitely was not a bird's nest!
"How was it? My skill isn't bad, right?" Xu Qi eagerly took credit.
Yun Yun rolled her eyes at him. Her gaze said everything.
She had no choice but to redo it herself, and the result felt completely different.
"My Yun'er is so beautiful," Xu Qi said with a smile.
Yun Yun's cheeks flushed. "What do you mean, your Yun'er? You really have no shame!"
"Aren't you my Yun'er? What, are you trying to deny it?" Xu Qi said with a serious expression.
"The Old Sect Master has already acknowledged me. And as long as I go and propose, he'll definitely marry you to me."
"Pah! I haven't agreed to marry you yet!" Yun Yun's pretty face turned bright red.
"I'm going to eat breakfast!"
She fled the room in a panic, as if escaping, while Xu Qi followed after her with a grin.
After breakfast, the two went out onto the streets for a stroll.
As a city near the desert, Mo City had quite a beautiful exotic charm, with many things that could not be found in the imperial capital.
Yun Yun claimed that this place could not compare to the imperial capital's bustle, but her body was more honest. As she wandered the streets, her eyes shone brightly, unable to conceal the excitement and surprise in her heart.
From time to time, she even tugged Xu Qi along to look at strange accessories, toys, and other things she had never seen before.
She was especially interested in accessories. Whenever she saw one she liked, she had to try it on, then pull Xu Qi over to ask for his opinion.
This was completely Xu Qi accompanying her shopping!
Still, Xu Qi showed no impatience. He accompanied her patiently from beginning to end.
They had no missions at the moment, and Yun Yun herself was the sect master, so they could do whatever they wanted without anyone daring to say a word.
The two were like the most ordinary couple. With Yun Yun's beauty, they drew attention wherever they went.
Quite a few men fixed their gazes on her, deeply resentful that a pretty boy like Xu Qi could have such a beautiful woman by his side.
But they were clever enough to clearly sense Yun Yun's extraordinary aura and knew she was definitely no ordinary woman.
Thus, no one foolishly stepped forward to make trouble.
The two strolled all the way from one end of the street to the other, while the shops on both sides gradually went from varied and plentiful to sparse.
"There doesn't seem to be anything interesting here anymore. Let's go to the other side."
Still wanting more, Yun Yun held Xu Qi's hand, looking every bit like a little girl who had just fallen in love.
"Alright."
Xu Qi smiled indulgently, about to leave with Yun Yun.
Suddenly, from the corner of his eye, he spotted a map shop at the street corner called "Ancient Map."
If he remembered correctly, Ice Emperor Hai Bodong seemed to still be in Mo City at this time, didn't he?
With that thought, Xu Qi stopped Yun Yun and said,
"Yun'er, let's go take a look over there."
Yun Yun looked over, her delicate brows knitting slightly.
"Ancient Map?"
The name sounded incredibly boring.
But since Xu Qi had suggested going, Yun Yun did not refuse. She simply nodded.
"Sure. I'll go take a look with you."
Xu Qi had accompanied her for so long. Now it was time for her to accompany him for a while.
The two walked toward the quaint shop.
The moment he entered, Xu Qi immediately saw an old man seated behind the display counter, his aura restrained yet impossible to underestimate.
Though he appeared aged, with a head full of white hair, he gave off a dangerous feeling.
It seemed that if anyone tried anything because he looked like an old man, the old man would show them what it meant to be old but still vigorous.
This man was none other than one of the Jia Ma Empire's previous generation's Ten Great Experts—the Ice Emperor, Hai Bodong!
