“Jiang Shaoxu, where are you?” Mu Bai called Jiang Shaoxu’s number.
“Turn around,” Jiang Shaoxu said.
Mu Bai turned around and saw Jiang Shaoxu carrying a few shopping bags. She was walking toward Mu Bai with a self-assured seductive smile.
Jiang Shaoxu looked up and down at Mu Bai and teased, “You’re quicker than I thought. I only visited two stores so far. Why didn’t you spend more time with her?”
Mu Bai did not get what she meant at first. His face blushed after he thought about it for a while. He quickly explained, “It’s not what you think. Something terrifying actually happened just then. I’m actually a little worried about you. Should we just call it a day and head back to Fanxue Mountain?”
“Oh? I think the weather is pretty nice today. It’s good for shopping. I’ll just shop on my own if you are busy. By the way, what do you think about my clothes?” Jiang Shaoxu had already changed into a new outfit. She even turned around in a circle to show it to Mu Bai.
Mu Bai scratched his head. He was wondering how he was going to explain the situation to Jiang Shaoxu.
He just had a strange feeling about it, mainly because a Super Mage like Mu Xumian had almost died in his house. Mu Bai was worried that Jiang Shaoxu would fall victim to the strange magic, too.
“I guess that’s fine…” Mu Bai responded. He was thinking of how to express the uncomfortable feeling in his mind when Jiang Shaoxu patted him on the shoulder.
“Let’s go back, I can see you’re very worried.” Jiang Shaoxu was quite understanding. She decided to go back to Fanxue Mountain with Mu Bai first.
Mu Bai nodded. He hailed a cab and brought Jiang Shaoxu to Fanxue Mountain.
Mu Bai was still preoccupied with the incident when Jiang Shaoxu let out a sigh like she knew exactly what was going on in his mind. “Actually, you shouldn’t feel so down because of it. I heard that many men had the same problem too. You just need to relax and remain calm, and everything will be fine.”
Mu Bai was confused at first, but he immediately realized something when Jiang Shaoxu naughtily winked at him, as if she was telling him she was not going to look down at him because of it!
“No, that’s not it, the woman you saw in my house was Mu Xumian, she was a colleague of mine in the South Wing Platoon…” Mu Bai seriously had an urge to kill himself by knocking his head into the window.
How the heck did Jiang Shaoxu even arrive at that conclusion? It was worse than being busted for hooking up with strangers!

Mu Bai finally explained to Jiang Shaoxu that Mu Xumian was Fanxue Mountain’s enemy and how she was Possessed by some corrupted existence.
Jiang Shaoxu’s mouth hung open for some time.
Anyone who visited someone’s house and saw a woman in her sleepwear would naturally assume the woman was extremely close to the owner, but not only did Mu Bai claim the woman was his enemy, he even told her that she was Possessed by some unknown existence. Most importantly, he actually saved his enemy’s life… Jiang Shaoxu was more willing to believe that Mu Bai was suffering from premature ejaculation.
Mu Bai let out a sigh when Jiang Shaoxu still looked at him suspiciously, even after he assigned her a room. He was completely worn out.
