“They’re just men, not fierce beasts,” Chu Yue said in annoyance.

“They’re not fierce beasts? You were terrified just now!” the monk said gloomily when he saw that she had no awareness of her own safety.

“I put on makeup and they didn’t know that I’m a woman. Besides, I went with someone. I didn’t go alone,” Chu Yue said.

But the monk did not buy it. “Who went with you?”

“A rich man’s son. I don’t know his name, so I call him Kun-peng. I got to know him at the ice sculpture festival,” Chu Yue said.

“You actually have the gall to go to a gambling house with someone that you don’t even know the name of?!” the monk asked as he stared at her.

Even though it was dark, Chu Yue could sense that his gaze was filled with anger.

“Even though he’s a good-for-nothing, he has a good heart. He has clear eyes, and he gives off a refreshing presence. Why else did you think I would go with him? He’s just too rich and doesn’t have anything he needs to work hard for. That’s why he lives a carefree life.”

When Chu Yue saw that the monk was worried about her, her tone became soft. As she reached the last part of the sentence, she sounded as if she longed for that sort of life.

Some people were born with the life that others treated as their goal, but even if they worked hard for their entire lives, they were still unable to obtain that sort of life.

She believed that the young man who had carved the Kun-peng was either someone rich or an aristocrat. A normal family would not be able to cultivate a rich man’s son who did not treat money as anything important. That sort of presence was not something that could be imitated.

The monk huffed and said, “He’ll soon be busy!”

When Chu Yue heard this, she asked, “How would you know? Do you know him?”

“I don’t.” The monk let out a cold huff.

Suddenly, Chu Yue’s tone became soft. “Master, I missed you. Did you miss me?”

The monk wanted to ignore her, but he could not bear the thought of it, so he could only say, “If you were just deluding yourself, would I have appeared in this place?”

“Then, did you miss me?” Chu Yue asked gently.

The monk had been angry with her, but after comforting her for an hour, his anger was practically gone. It rose again later, but it faded away for the most part after she acted sweetly with him. And now, when she was acting so obediently, the final wisps of anger were completely extinguished.
