Reborn Demon Emperor, I have to stay away from them

"Pretend, forget about the past."

Yu Mu felt that his stomach was full and he couldn't eat any more, so he stuffed the remaining circle of cake into Wen Ruyu's mouth.

Wen Ruyu's mouth twitched.

Why is it just one circle? Yu Mu, that bastard! He thought the edge of the pancake was too hard, so he ate it from the inside! After he ate the middle, there was only one circle left...

"Don't worry about the others." Yu Mu sipped his soup and looked contented: "Mo and me, well, you all know that you can rest assured with him around, not to mention there are others."

At this time, there was another noise outside. Wen Ruyu quickly stuffed the edge of the cake into her mouth, took a big mouthful of soup and tried hard to swallow it.

"Okay, then you take a rest, I'll go help my elder sister chop some firewood! And you better hurry up, they are a couple, we shouldn't always stay in their house, it's not convenient after all."

Seeing Wen Ruyu, who was wearing coarse cloth clothes, turn around and walk out, Yu Mu leaned down with a deep gaze, and the gray sparrow also quietly stuck to his cheek.

Yu Mu was petting the gray sparrow. Why did he feel that it was not like he was raising the bird, but that the bird was raising him? It was so fucking weird.

But when he turned his head, he didn't see the very vicissitudes and ancient wisdom flashing in the gray sparrow's eyes...

Soon, the sound of Wen Ruyu chopping wood was heard outside, and Yu Mu had to admit speechlessly that, putting aside his identity as a demon cultivator... Wen Ruyu was indeed more talented than himself.

And I am more qualified than Mo!

...............

"Hey young man, you've just gotten better, don't get too tired!"

Seeing Wen Ruyu chopping vigorously, Wang Cuixian hurried over to grab the axe: "Give it to Auntie, you are still injured."

Wen Ruyu: “…”

"Sister-in-law of the Li family, my name is Wen Ruyu, I... I am not young anymore." Wen Ruyu smiled shyly, and waved her hand vigorously: "Besides, my injury has healed. It's nothing to chop some firewood to repay your life-saving grace."

"You are already quite old in your early twenties. Fine, you can do it, but be careful! I'll go wash the clothes."

Wang Cuixian laughed. Actually...if you really count it, Wen Ruyu is already in his forties now.

But like Yu Mu, he has always been in his early twenties.

Seeing Wang Cuixian smile, Wen Ruyu also smiled, a very bright woman.

But as he laughed, Wen Ruyu's smile seemed to freeze. He felt a pang in his heart when he saw the faint wrinkles at the corners of Wang Cuixian's eyes.

This... is just an ordinary person. He will also grow old one day, and it is possible that he won't even be able to get an erection.

With a feeling of deep sadness, Wen Ruyu chopped the firewood even harder, as if he was chopping off demons.

………………

Li Daniu came back a little late today, but his dark face showed a bit of excitement and embarrassment. He pulled Wang Cuixian into the house and didn't know what to discuss.

In the side room where Yu Mu and Wen Ruyu were sleeping, Wen Ruyu chopped enough firewood to last for nearly half a month at one time. The physical fatigue made him crazy and he wanted to sleep.

Then... Yu Mu insisted on reading by lighting an oil lamp! That was the oil lamp Wang Cuixian picked up from somewhere and tore into pieces to start a fire.

Li Daniu would occasionally tear off a few pieces to wipe his butt.

Yu Mu enjoyed reading this strange story written by a mundane and boring person...

And... since he woke up in the morning, his body recovered quickly, and the book was taken from the stove by him.

"Can you... blow out the lights to save some gas for me? And I need to sleep."

"What does it have to do with you?" Yu Mu rolled his eyes, and the gray sparrow standing on his shoulder also rolled his eyes.

"I can't sleep with the light on..."

"Why are you the only one who has so much trouble? Why don't you just turn over, C?"

Wen Ruyu: “!!!!”

What a fucking bullshit! No wonder he and Su Qiyuan can be a couple, they are not careful in choosing friends!

But although Yu Mu said that, he closed the book reluctantly and blew out the light, which made the gray sparrow chirp twice in dissatisfaction.

They gathered around the bed in the dark, and Yu Mu pushed Wen Ruyu in with his buttocks: "Move inwards, I'll sleep outside."

"No, haven't you always been sleeping in there?"

“I’m big and can’t stretch out.”

Wen Ruyu: “…”

But at this moment, there were several knocks at the door frame: "Um... Brother Wen, are you asleep?"

"Oh no, Big Brother Li, come in, come in."

Wen Ruyu quickly stood up, and Yu Mu also stood up and relit the oil lamp, then picked up the book again and gave Wen Ruyu a playful look.

"Huh? Your brother-in-law is awake too." Li Daniu and his wife walked in and saw Yu Mu sitting at the table holding a book, with the sparrow still standing on his shoulder.

At this time, Wang Cuixian exclaimed in her heart, "Tsk, it is said that scholars love books, and it is true when I see it today." She said, "Why couldn't I find any paper to start the fire at night?"

Yu Mu stood up, his face was still a little pale, but under the flickering oil lamp he looked extremely warm, like a spring breeze in March.

He clasped his fists and said, "Yu Mu, meeting the eldest brother and sister-in-law of the Li family."

"Oh! You scholars have so many rules! Sit down, sit down."

Li Daniu quickly pulled Yu Mu to sit down, and took a curious look at the gray sparrow on Yu Mu's shoulder. The little thing was not afraid of people, and it seemed to be a house sparrow that had been raised since childhood.

But this Yu... well, Yu Mu, he looks like a scholar, with a scholarly air! Unlike his elder brother-in-law, who looks like a dandy.

But his elder brother-in-law chopped so much firewood today, and he looks very strong, but he still pretends to be a scholar. I, Old Li, have seen all kinds of people, really.

Wang Cuixian also held the two tattered pieces of clothing and gently placed them on the bedside, then sat down next to Li Daniu, her face a little restrained.

"Brother Li, if you have anything to say, just tell me. You and your wife saved our lives. Why are you still embarrassed to speak up?"

Yu Mu smiled warmly and cheerfully, and Wen Ruyu nodded and said, "Yes, yes, just tell me if you have anything to say!"

Then... Wen Ruyu fumbled under the pillow for a while and directly found a ring of excellent quality! Even though it was covered with cracks, it was obvious that it was not an ordinary thing.

This thing doesn't have much use, but it is rare. Blue spirit stones are rare, and he made it into a ring because he thought it looks good. If it were in the mortal world... it should be worth a lot of money.

He was reluctant to part with it at first, but probably because it was broken into pieces in the space crack, he didn't want it anymore.

"Come on, come on, Brother Li, Sister-in-law, take this. It may be worth some money."

"No! This...this is not allowed!" When Li Daniu saw the ring, his face immediately changed and he waved his hands repeatedly.

A ring! He had seen the ring of Mr. Zhang, which was worn on his thumb. It looked so beautiful.

But this one… is even better looking than the one owned by Mr. Zhang! How much is this… worth? !
