Tears welled up in the corners of Shopkeeper She's eyes as she slowly lifted her head, gazing out at the moonlight with a sorrowful expression.
"Three hundred years ago, my husband loved another. I dare not hope for him to glance my way; I only wish for the chance to meet him again in this life and rekindle our past."
Song Mingyu suddenly raised his head, his gaze piercing and intense as he fixed it on Shopkeeper She.
"Another love?"
His words forced a look of despair onto Shopkeeper She's face. She shook her head repeatedly, her voice choked with emotion. "Husband, you should have forgotten your past in your new life. Why do you still cling to her? It breaks my heart."
I felt as if I had been struck hard, jolted back to reality. I pondered silently—who was it that Song Mingyu could not forget? Had he been choosing among others all these years just for this woman?
A bitter sensation flooded my heart, and I realized I could not accept that Song Mingyu had another love.
"Where is she?" Song Mingyu asked urgently, his eyes filled with desperation.
Shopkeeper She hesitated for a long time but eventually revealed the woman's whereabouts.
"She is the mistress of Qian Deng Town, Qianyu Fairy."
What a beautiful name; she must be an enchanting beauty, unlike me—rough and brash, lacking any trace of feminine grace.
My eyes stung and swelled with unshed tears. Not wanting Song Mingyu to see my unhappy expression, I could only glare at Shopkeeper She with a look of anger.
As a result, when I glared at her, she trembled all over, and her tail reappeared.
Confused, I asked, "You're a monster, so why do you seem so afraid of me?" The shopkeeper nodded heavily, her voice trembling as she replied, "Miss, I've always been very afraid of you!"
Afraid of me? Am I a ghost? Am I more terrifying than a monster with red eyes and white hair?
As I was about to leave, the shopkeeper cried. She wiped her tears with a handkerchief and sobbed, "Husband, I'll be waiting for you to return at Bai Wu Mountain."
"Such deep feelings! You must have been a heartless man in your past life," I complained softly while munching on a steamed bun, my mouth full.
Song Mingyu did not argue; he simply said calmly, "I may be heartless towards her, but my feelings for the one I truly belong to are as deep as the sea."
The one he truly belongs to is probably that Qianyu Fairy from Qian Deng Town. Thinking of this made me feel annoyed, and I stopped in my tracks.
Seeing that I wasn't moving, Song Mingyu raised an eyebrow teasingly and asked, "Just a few days ago, you couldn't wait to rush to Qian Deng Town. Why are you acting like a different person now? Complaining about stomach aches or sore limbs—what kind of game are you playing?"
I was instantly furious. It was clearly him who had changed! Now that he knew there was a graceful beauty waiting for him in Qian Deng Town, he was impatiently urging me to hurry along. Was he just itching to leave me behind and meet her?
"Song Mingyu, don't get too smug! Maybe she's just a fierce tigress waiting to catch you for dinner!" I said with my hands on my hips, fuming.
He only smiled wider at my curse, his eyes sparkling like stars as if they held endless amusement.
"Zhu Jiu Jiu, I particularly enjoy how jealous you get."
"Who... who is jealous? Who would be jealous of your poison? Even if all the men in Chang'an married you, I wouldn't like you even a little bit."
My face turned bright red, like a puffed-up kitten. Being stubborn, I plopped down under the tree and waved my straw hat vigorously to fan myself.
I refused to leave, determined to drive Song Mingyu mad.
